We know that it takes more than talent to win games. All the superstars on the team can't get it done unless they check their egos at the door and play as a team. So far, the Heat haven't done it yet. They may never get it together. Never forget the 2003-04 L A Lakers. They had it all. Kobe, Shaq, Gary Payton and Karl Malone. A regular murderers row and they couldn't get it done. They just couldn't put their egos aside and play as a team. I see the same fate for the Heat. True the 03-04 Lakers had some injuries but so will the Heat. All teams suffer injuries. The Heat's biggest problem may very well be their coach. Spolestra may not be able to handle superstars, and if that's the case, look for Riley to step in very soon before its too late. But all of this is moot since the Celtics will win it all next June.
