All you Heat fans

Question for you Miami fans out there. Were you guys happy to get Le bron?

The guy can play a great game, he is good no doubt. But when he was still deciding what team he wanted to go with, I must honestly say I did not want to see him come to Chicago. I think all the hype when he entered the NBA where the media crowned him King James, and calling him the next Jordan etc.. had me a little sour on the guy. But then just seeing the way he acted like in the playoffs two seasons ago just walking off court without shaking anyone's hand & some of the shit he has said to the press kinda soured me on the guy.

Im not trying to hate on him (he's a good player), but whats your guys thoughts? Were any of you Heat fans upset to see him in Miami?

I don't think there is a single Heat fan disappointed that Lebron James is a Miami Heat. Actually quite the opposite, the buzz here for the Heat has been amazing, way above anything the Heat has ever seen, including Shaq, Zo, Hardaway, etc & most of that is because of Lebron

You got one hell of a team this year Dr. Jack
I always liked Wade, and what can't you like about Bosh that guy is a beast. Miami is going to have a strong home team this year. How you feeling about the bench Dr. Jack?

Obviously a lot of hype but when first preseason game lineup will probably look like this
Arroyo
Wade
James
Bosh
Anthony

That leaves UD & Mike Miller first off bench with others available depending on matchups

Big Z
Eddie House
Mario Chalmers
James Jones
Juwan Howard

That's 10 deep

Then you have

Jamal Magliore when you need a big bruising body & a few young wild cards

They are deep

Looking at them you'd think the Celtics could present matchup problems at the point & center but you have to assume both Wade, James & Miller will get minutes at the point

In the middle they have Anthony who is so underrated, they can go physical with Anthony or Mgloire or spread them out with Big Z

Honestly they are so loaded - anything less than 67-70 wins & finals will be a big dissapointment.

Looking at it now they are looking deep, if everyone stays healthy they should have a monster season. We will see with Boston, I think they play on the road against them at the end of this month. I can't wait to watch that matchup. May have to invest in the NBA league pass this year. From a wagering stand point the Heat will prob. not lose at home this year. No matter how much shit the other teams talk about how the heat all have targets on there back, your not gonna stop a James/Wade combo when they heat up. its gonna be a fun season.

Yeah but spreads will be inflated. Not sure if they will be profitable, laying double digits a lot of the time

Could be laying a lot of Juice But ML -500 or under may be good plays, I know the whole laying a lot of Juice thing people are not big fans of. IMO going 7-0 with something like that is still $700.

Got a little ML system Ive been working on for NBA ML -500 or under are ideal for the system and bank roll. Sometimes even a parlay of a -800 and a -300 work too. Its not ready for posting yet, but I will have a better idea after this years first test. Capping is involved its not a chase but the success of the system is based on if you can go on ML streaks 5-0, 7-0, 12-0.

Depending on the line and if you parlay 3-0 to 5-0 ML streaks can put you at even or plus. You hit the next play you are plus. IDK just thinking my crazy thoughts out loud lol

sounds like it didn't take Wade too long to come up a little lame. Hopefully if it is pulled they just sit him down until he is 100%
