Powerhouse teams have great point guards and big men: Rondo, Rose, Nelson, and Fisher, and Howard, Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Shaq, KG, and Horford. Miami's got who? Arroyo and Chalmers, Ilgauskas, Anthony, Juwan Howard, and Dampier? These players could be third stringers for other teams and they could be the best that Miami got. The Heat should shop around for better PGs and big men.
Another thing is that the relationship of the coaching staff and the players, particularly James and Bosh, isn't that good. Is it because Miami is underachieving or James and Bosh are simply immature? Spoelstra has proven his worth by leading Miami to the playoffs last season and I think that it would just be too unfair if Riley will kick him out after just a few games. James has the reputation of being a bratty player, being not a good sport in defeat. And Chris Bosh ignoring Keith Askins? Champions aren't made that way.
Miami has a lot of work to do if they are going to win a title. For now, it doesn't seem that they are going to live up to the hype and in fact they are underachieving big time.
