Unless the NBA eliminated the 4th quarter of games, I would not fear “The Chokin’ One” & the Divas.

Wow are you dense. Yes, it is harder at the end of back to backs, I agree with you! The problem with your logic is that Miami doesn’t play any more back to back to backs then anyone else. Therefore, what makes a back to back to back harder for the Heat also helps them when they run into a situation where they come up on a team that has played back to back to back when they haven’t. Let me try to speak moron for a second so you can understand…..if you and I are racing up a hill and you win 9 out of 10 times. Then we race up the hill each carrying a 25 pound weight. The next ten times doesn’t give me any advantage BECAUSE WE ARE BOTH CARRYING THE SAME WEIGHT.

Who are you idiots thumbs upping this moron? You people are exactly why the terrorists hate us. EVERYONE has to play back to backs and back to back to backs this season, it’s not a disadvantage to the Heat. I hope you all die, the planet will be better off.

The league does not schedule every team to play a back to back at the same time. Nor does it ensure that each team has an equal amount of time off in between games.

So, to make sure I understand you correctly a team that is playing on the third night of a back to back to back and playing on the road. Against a team that may have had the previous two nights off does not give any advantage to that team?

Really? Really?

That logic is as assenine as saying the New Orleans Saints could play on a Sunday and then turn around the next day and play on Monday night without any disadvantage whatsoever.

Hmmmmmmm Exactly what Lebron should have done for the past 4 years… There is no reason to shoot mass amounts of 3s for him. I hated it when he was in CLE. I am from CLE and this is not LBJ hate…. He should shoot just enough 3s to let the defenders know he can make em. That’s it…. Sure if he is wide open on a play shoot the rock, but dribbling at the top of the key and jackin a 3 with 4 secs left on the shot clock is mental when you are probably the most physically powerful player in the game. Go to the hoop you idiot… ohhh and when you are there land on D Wades face, break his jaw, and/or roll your ankle… <

I don’t like the Heat but it looks like they have figured out what style of play works best for them.
LeBron is taking the high percentage shots and that means easy baskets.
They have also decided to run and them pushing the ball up the floor as much as they can makes them dangerous.

The biggest thing they have to fear is Wade getting hurt.
If that happens then they are just an average team.

Please spit Lebron out for a minute and use your head for something else. Sure in that scenario it’s harder on the Heat, however, the Heat aren’t the only team that will play back to back to back. It’s not as if the league scheduled only the Heat this way. So those scenarios will work to the advantage of the Heat as well. Furthermore, the Heat play in a weak division (and conference) and are returning basically the same team and will be playing teams that have just been put together.

Good! This brick shooting clown can’t hit mid-range jumper consistently.

So let’s see… You are coming off a back to back to back with one day to rest. The team you are playing has played twice in the past five days and its their first night of a back to back. And you are playing on the road. Nah that doesn’t make it harder.

I hate to say it, but your right on….probably for the next couple of years or until one of the big two gets hurt.

How is it harder? (that’s what she said) If I’m not mistaken, their opponents will have played 4-5 times per week as well. Doesn’t make it any harder, if anything, it’s easier as teams can’t prepare for you as much, but that’s a stretch too.

They are just 3-0 right now. Let’s not start talking about the greatest winning percentage in history yet. Little early for that don’t you think?

But if they do, the asterick should signify that it was actually harder. Playing 4-5 times per week is brutal…ask Boston.

They should be attacking the rim.

I’m sure the heat could careless about that. It means nothing if you come up short again

After this season is all said and done…the Heat will own the best winning percentage of any team in NBA history. It is a shortened year though…asterisk?

Everybody should be terrified of the heat this year.
