Miami Heat ~ Beginning of a Big 3 Era

[Deleted]

In the summer, LeBron James and Chris Bosh decided to leave their old teams they've been with since the 2003-04 season, and joined Dwyane Wade in Miami, who was the only one of the 2003 Draft participants to win a NBA Championship. The acquisition of these two All-Stars catapulted the Heat in everything imaginable, and the standards are incredibly high. Can Erik Spoelstra and the Heat team handle the pressure?

LOL Very... I got this idea from a booker I was looking at on the ORIGINAL OWU... But hey! Gives me something to do while I wait for the NFL free agency list to be made, and I won't be too biased when it comes to this. Now if it was a modern day booker, I'd make the Heat the second-best team in the conference, Justise Winslow as ROTY, Hassan Whiteside as DPOY, and go for the gold!!

Trouble Adjusting?

After the first couple of nights, the Heat feared that the #1 free agent from this past summer would have trouble adjusting, considering LeBron James scored 36 between the two games, but gave up 61 to Pierce and Igoudala.

James hit a groove the past couple games, and that delivered two wins for the team, but he was by far the more superior in the SF matchup both nights.

He'll have a chance to redeem himself in November, facing both the Celtics and 76ers in this upcoming month.
