Ooo you know Melos work ethic??? Really

well when i havent seen any significant improvement in his game and he comes into the season 6-10 pounds overweight every year i can get an idea about his work ethic. The difference between him and lebron is that both of them are supremely talented but bron has worked a lot harder on his game than melo has. And thats not even debatable

Melo comes in 6-10 pounds overweight ?? Are you his trainer he tweeted several pictures of himself being ripped last year and this year too. Melo just doesn't have the Lebron physique . Melos biggest flaw is his defense which he improved on near the end of the year and I'd admit that he still needs work .lebrons d and athleticism are what separate them the most in my opinion His shot ie way better than brOn . With a full offseason and playing in the olympics with Brian hope he comes with improved d

Wade is the biggest factor. Will he hold up? ..and if he doesn't what will they do to replace him?

How is that even possible without an elite player

What team wins ships without an elite player?

I didnt say they were gonna win a ring..I just said as of right now they are probably #2 in the East...The Rose injury will probaby set the Bulls back 2 years and Boston is in rebuilding mode..

Wade needs to continue working with Tim Grover, however if LeBron stays playing in the post like that his effect on the game will be even bigger than before. You'd be able to start running high-lo sets between him and Bosh, and Wade wouldn't need to be anything more than a 20-22ppg scorer. Obviously health plays the biggest part, but the East doesn't look very good for next year.

In the offseason they need to either get a C through free agency or the draft, and sign another SG/SF backup for Wade and LeBron since Miller looks like he's done and might retire.

It could happen, but it's actually kind of sad IMO. I mean joining forces really made the East less competitive, Celtics are not getting any younger, Bulls not there yet and who knows if Rose will fully recover, I don't see the Pacers or the Hawks getting over that "good 2nd round team" plateau, Knicks are still the Knicks until proven otherwise...Out West I don't think the Lakers, Spurs and Mavs have it in them anymore, Clips flip-flop too much and injuries might seriously hamper them...and overall when you think about it there just aren't that many elite players where you could say "Oh, if this guy goes there, it could be a wrap..." Deron ain't on that level IMO, and Dwight's the alpha bytch. We talking about Nash and he's 38 for Christ's sake.

Of course one never knows with injuries, free agency...but I expect the NBA to not be very competitive these coming years.

Yeah because it has such a long history of being so competitive.

I know a lot of people want to hate, but if we bring back KG, there's no reason in my view that the Celtics aren't the second best team out East and sorry to say.. we can't beat Miami with LeBron playing like this.

So if I'm honest, Miami is coming out of the East unless Wade falls apart.

Pacers? No. A lot of "solid" players won't get it done.

Knicks? they have a lot of shyt to figure out before I even consider them.

Bulls? Rose is injured. When's he coming back and how long will it take for him to be the Rose we know?

Sixers? Same as Pacers.

That's about it. It's a cakewalk for Miami.
