The Miami HEAT’s season did not start as many would have hoped, as they lost 88-80 to the Boston Celtics. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James were making uncharacteristically bad turnovers (14 combined). The old Big Three of the Boston Celtics, playing under the franchise’s 17 title banners, beat the new Big Three of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The Heat, though, knew it would take time to jell. “It’s a feel-out process,” James said. “When you have so many options, it’s something I’m not accustomed to, having that many threats out on the court at the same time.” “This is one of 82,” said Wade, whose preseason action was limited to the first three minutes because of a strained right hamstring. “Sorry if everyone thought we were going to go 82-0. It just ain’t happening.” King James, who scored a game high 31 points, debuted his latest Nike sneakers – the LeBron 8, which are available in stores since yesterday.

The Miami diet-police worries me a little bit(because they tend to diet some players into injuries :???: ), everybody on the team looks 10 lbs too light(which is especially bad for Bosh(and had me worried about Mike Miller too, because they look seriously under-weight), because he was light to start with). For the rest, it'll come together once Wade shakes the rust, you'll have 60ppg of the LeBron, Wade tandem. Bosh needs to add lbs or he'll be lost in the paint though.
ok...
they looked like wade hadnt played all pre-seas....oh wait he didnt play all preseason.
wade doesnt know his role yet, as a spot shooter and 2ndary option BEHIND lebron. bron needs to be the primary ball handler, when he was last night he drew doubles and triples resulting in open shots for Bosh, james jones and open lanes for bosh and wade to slash.
they are just going to get better and better each game they play togehter. i aint worried.
