Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! South Beach bringin’ the Heat, unh. Haha, can y’all feel that? Can y’all feel that? #### it out, unh! What time is it? You know what time it is. Playoff basketball time. And when I say playoff basketball, you know what I’m talking about, boyeeee! I love this game! I love the Heat. The Miami Heat. Bouncin’ in the club where the Heat is on. All night on the beach, till the break of dawn. Welcome to Miami. Buenvenidos a Miami. I know I’ve been Chris Boshing you with the Raptors. I know I’ve been jinglin’ janglin’ you with the Spurs. I know. I also know when push comes to shove, I’m feeling the Heat. It’s like a Heatwave. A Miami Heatwave. Burning in my heart. Sure things were touch and go there during the regular season. Sure they lost the opener by forty-two. Sure they lostShaq Daddy and Flash for a combined seventy-one games. Sure they dipped below even Steven twice. But that was the regular season. You can pack up the regular season in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile. And I haven’t seen a smile that pretty in a while. How can’t the Heat be smiling? They got that four ringed circus, the Big Baryshnikov. The greatest show on earth. Shaquille O’Neal. Is that the cat you wanna be facing in the post season? Is that the cat you wanna give a reason? Is that the cat you wanna be displeasin’? Shaq Fu is still the most feared big man in the game. You can Big Fundamental me. You can Disco Dirk me. You can Big Ben Wallace me. Heck, you can even Amare Stoudamire me. Shaq Daddy is the biggest Big Daddy of them all. The Mac Daddy will make you: Jump! Jump! The Daddy Mac will make you Jump! Jump! Made folks jump when Flash was out. Put the Heat on his back when Flash was out. Put them on his back and took the Southeast title when Flash was out. And, just so you know, Miami is the only team to ever win the Southeast since the NBA split into new divisions. It’s their seventh overall division championship. More than any other team in all of the NBA since 1996. And, just so you know, Flash ain’t out no more. Flash. Ahh ahh, saviour of the universe. Flash. Ahh ahh. He’ll save everyone of us. Flash. Ahh ahh, he’s a miracle. Flash. Ahh ahh, king of the impossible. Dwyane Wade is back. He make look a little a rusty now. May look a little dusty now. May look a little crusty now. But he’s no Herschel Pinkus Yerucham Krustofski. Nope, no clown he. Flash: “‘I just know I’ll get better.” I believe him. Like my main man, the Boss, always says: “At the end of every hard earned day, people find some reason to believe.” In Flash we trust. You saw him last year. Sportsman of the Year last year. More importantly, NBA Finals MVP last year. Why wouldn’t I trust him. I know it. You know it. Mean Dovine knows it. He’s the best damn guard there is. Not for nothing. You saw that dunk, right? The dunk with the funk. When D-Wade split the middle on them punks. With authority! Ya, thought so. Toine’s finding his comfort zone. Getting giddy in the zone. Shimmy shimmy shaking in the zone. He shakes it to the left. He shake it to the right. He does the hippy shake shake with all of his might. He’s got the hippy hippy shakes. Yeah! So, say what you want. I’m taking the Heat. I’m taking the Heat to repeat. To repeat the treat. They can’t be beat. Party in the city where the heat is on. All night on the beach till the break of dawn. Welcome to Miami. Buenvenidos a Miami.

I have a feeling there's something special in the air this year when looking toward the playoffs. I think there will be some all-out wars for sure. It'll be interesting to see exactly what the Heat does do. Good stuff.

To bad the heat will not win a championship in 2007.
The pistons will sweep in the playoffs and most likely they will get beat in the frist round! D Wade is not back at All!!!!!!!!!!
Cedar Srings MI
How will the heat win with Wade not at 100%
They cant, it just will not happen!
Did you see the frist 2 games back from his shoulder. Both were not good at all. The only thing they will do is loss and go home in the frist round!

Yeah what happened to the Rockets and Yao?!?! Thanks for nothing!!!
Just kidding. Still liked your post.
The Heat are good, but not as good as good as last year. I agree with Pumpdude - Shaq may have a heart attack before the Heat win it again. Plus Wade isn't at full strength.
The Heat seem to be the favorites with Wade and Shaq healthy, but they are due for a 2nd round matchup with the Pistons who I can almost assure you want to get revenge on them from last year. They should make a long run and whoever wins the Mia-Det series will make it to the playoffs.
What? Oops. I must not have been paying attention to what I was writing. What I meant to say was, "PS- I'm going with the Pistons." I guess Celtics slipped out. But hey, you got Patriots while I got the Lions. So we are even.
JoshQPublic you gotta man tell all these people what they don't wanna hear. I've written it before in my blog and now i'll say it again the MIAMI HEAT will be NBA CHAMPIONS AGAIN yeah i said it AGAIN. Ooo and don't worry about FLASH COMING back because he's already bak boom shakalaka. THE HEAT IS ON THE HEAT IS ON just like the song says the heat is ON. We don't need other teams to be scared of the HEAT cause regardless wether they are or not we will still win. Let me tell you something the bench is stronger this year than last year so becareful guys better have a team more than 15 STRONG cause if not your out of luck. A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO EVERBODY PLEASE BUY YOUR "WHITE HOT" T-SHIRTS NOW AND MERCHANDISE NOW SO WE WHEN THE HEAT WIN WE CAN LEAVE ALL THAT MERCHANDISE FOR THE HATERS THAT JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON

My (rather pathetic) Pacers ALMOST caught the Heat napping last night. Some of the new trades on the team started actually hustling and found themselves on a hot streak about midway through the fourth quarter, leading the Heat by nine and showing no sign of cooling off. They were blocking D-Wade's shots, hitting from the outside, moving around Shaq and hitting inside shots, ... they looked unstoppable. Six minutes to go and things were looking good (unless you're on the "lose so we'll be in the lottery" bandwagon). A bunch of young guys newly traded to the Pacers (and without stone cold Jermaine O'Neal) with something to prove vs. a team that already had secured a berth in the playoffs on autopilot.
Then Wade decided they'd stop playin' and start winnin'. No contest, game over.
I'd hate to be playing them in the playoffs ... (and won't have to worry about that either, lottery, here we come).
Maybe Miami should change their nickname to Luke Warm. The Heat, they are not. If they make it to the Eastern Conference finals this year I'll be impressed. Until then, their championship last year was a fluke.
Once again everybody doubts the HEAT but they will prove everybody wrong and when they do i don't want everybody to join the MIAMI HEAT bandwagon. Don't tell me that the pacers lost because they decided to they wanted to get into the lottery so they can get better picks. Their championship last year was a fluke come on what type of sorry excuse is that, we won it fair and square theirs no debating that come one give us credit we came back and swept the so called BEST MAVERICKS TEAM IN THE NBA.
This is a great day. no more d wade and no more mom's boy crack... Thank god this will be the last year for shaq boy.... to be beat like dog's in the first round wowo this is just to good to be true... :)
