Kurt, if my mom had wheels she’d be a bicycle. I’m playing the Charlotte result here a bit, but I would have said the same thing before. This is an average team whose talent is highly concentrated into a few players. Therefore, when those players excel, they can hang with anyone. But when those players are mediocre, they can lose to anyone. Their record is just about where it should be: right around .500 with a big mix of inexplicable wins and losses. Miami could absolutely shock the world and win a first-round playoff series. They could also fail to make the playoffs at all. Such is the life of the Heat.

Joe is right..
the heat are better than there record says they are. the heat should of beat the lakers and celtics twice, beat the hawks 3-1, and also beat orlando twice. not to mention, played 2 great games vs. the cavs…everyone will remember Dwades dunk over Varejao for the next 10 years. but back to their record, the heat will play with great energy agaiast the elite teams but then only beat the Nets by 1. so as u can see, if the heat played half of what they can do against the lakers, celtics, and orlando all the time…they would be in the race for the 4th or even 3rd seed instead of 5th-9th

Joe,
1) Why exactly do you consider the Heat to be “truly better” than what our record indicates? I agree that they’re not exactly a sub-par team, but a sub-par team has a record around .300 or .400 (Knicks, Pacers, Warriors) whereas a decent team wins about as many games as they lose (Bulls, Bobcats, Grizzlies). I personally don’t put the Heat in the next class of teams like the Thunder or even the Hawks themselves. But we’ll always have a fighting chance with a healthy Wade and a consistent Beasley.
2) There’s no defense for Spo. He was forced to put Beasley back in the 4th. We wouldn’t have known if he was going to have a dismal performance at the end of the game because he rarely has a chance to either dispel that notion or prove it.

Every fan to a bad to sub-par team says “we’re better than what our record is.” For the Heat, we truly are better than what our record indicates. We play up to the competition (Lakers, Hawks,Celtics, Cavs,Magic), as well as play down to it (Warriors, Nets). It’s annoying whenever watching a close game on TNT or ESPN and the commentators say something like “Why have the [insert good team here] let the Heat stay in this game; they’re a .500 team!”
Oh, and yeah, Spoelstra’s gonna catch Hell for not playing Beasley in the 4th for most of the season. Slightly to his defense, it was looking like another dismal Beasley performance until Dwade punched him in the chest.

This is what Miami Heat has to do: to defend its home court in the next games, this is very important, and an indispensable chance to be near the 5th possition before playoffs. Now it’s time to beat Bobcats and break 2 losses in a row with a relative easy team. We will wait for the final Heat’s expossion. And for ending, I don’t know, but i think Miami onlyplays with intensity with the best teams…
