regardless if they won by 30 or lost by 30 tonight it's unrealistic to have a valid assesment of them after 1 game. lets see how they look a month from now.

^^^ thats not entirely true given the opponent. Had they had won, or lost by 30, i believe it would have said alot, in terms of how far they need to go, or the overall newly acquired strength, considering their opponent has been to the finals twice in the last 3 years, winning one of them. If the heat had come out and beat the Boston Celtics by 30 points, that would've sent an incredible message to the other teams, considering only the two best teams go to the finals, and this being #2..

This post makes a lot of sense.
I still think the Heat will be fine. But I agree that they are lacking in size.
I also questioned the signing of Stack before the season started. I would have tried to find a sharp-shooter instead. Can't rely on just House and Jones.

Can't say the things you guys are saying after 1 game.. I'm sure they will figure it out soon enough. They did look bad though

Not for nothing, even though the Heat were beaten last night....they showed a GLIPMSE of how that even while 2/3 of "Big 3" may be off they have enough on talent (Lebron)alone to carry the team. They were not cohesive. At all. It's no secret. Remember, the C's team that they played have ultimately been together for 3-4 years now. Heat aka. Lebron kept the game close off of pure talent. Miami has been playing together for a few weeks....They will hit their stride eventually. Lebron put up good #'s against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. It's going to be downright scary to see what Miami will look like when everyone knows their assignments on both offense and defense. Expectations are high...and I still think it's championship or bust this season for the Heat. For one game it was interesting to see....1 game isn't nearly enough of a measuring point to gain an OBJECTIVE opinion of what this team will look like 20, 30, 40+ games into the season. Give it time....
*Oh yeah....I do agree w. Chuck....they need a better PG to run this team. Either that, or put the ball in D.Wade or Lebron's hands when bringing the rock up court.
**Another thing....when you got the thoroughbreds that Miami does in Bron, Wade, and Bosh (one of the best big-men in the NBA as far as getting up/down the court), why run that slow +%$ bog-it-down style??? These guys would THRIVE in the open court. I dunno why they didn't exploit Boston's age and just run. Honestly, I thought I was watching Cleveland-South for a while...

Some of yall need to give Boston some credit too. Their defense is VERY good. Ray Allen with his timely threes is what won them this game, only reason Miami had a chance late in the game is because of Lebron simple and plain. Bosh and Wade didn't show up, I hope Spoelstra is smart enough to encourage this team to run more because their half court offense is disgusting to watch

Another thing....I think a lot of yall forgot exactly how good Lebron really is....enough w. this "Robin" nonsense. He's the best player on that team. The way he carried himself this summer w. "The Decision" amongst other things made you guys think he morphed into Boris Diaw or some %!!*

Didn't think Game 1 would be so serious.
