Miami Heat, NBA Finals Random Thoughts….

Random Miami Heat Talk…

How desperate can any member of the media be to start the pathetic rumors about a possible D-Wade trade?

Of all the players in the sport, this guy is more coveted than any.

It would take a prime Michael Jordan to rip Wade away from the jaws of Miami and trust me, it ain’t happenin’.

Who we end up snatching in the draft to play alongside him remains to be seen, but one thing for sure, barring any unfortunate happenings, D-Wade will suit up in a Miami uniform next year.

With all the draft talk and after finally getting a chance to review extended footage of alot of these guys in the mix, I’m beginning to warm up to the thought of Miami snatching O.J. Mayo if Rose is gone at #2.

No knocks on Beasley because of the three, he’s probably the best overall, but if you’re looking for some backcourt help to join Wade, he’s the man if Rose isn’t there.

Despite a few question marks, I think Mayo’s maturity and disposition may not be far off the Riley mark either.

He’s spent time in college and has polished his game with the fundamentals that Beasley doesn’t quite have and Rose may still be in the process of finding.

Should be interesting but with Zo looking to return, considering the rest of the lineup expected, I think he would be a good addition if it came down to it.

Beasley, Rose, or Mayo….Not an easy decision to make, but not a bad problem to have either. 

Random NBA Finals Thoughts….

Where was Pao Gasol the other night? Well, he was in the back pocket of KG who owned him the other night.

The Lakers’ team in general just didn’t seem to be themselves.

Coming into the game it was stated by many in the media that they (L.A.) would need a game or so to adjust before they go back to what has become vintage Lakers B-ball.

Laker fans can only hope that was the truth because after watching them fail to gain a consistent flow, many have began to wonder if the run leading up to the Finals was a hoax.

I don’t think you can really expect Kobe and the rest of the team to play that way for a complete 7 game series.

I expect Kobe to come out shooting sharp, and I expect the rest of the team to follow suit.

The real question is whether Boston can carry this momentum on the road to the West Coast, even if they can take both games in Bean-town.

Remember people, this is the same squad that failed to beat Atlanta on the road and was forced into a 7 game series with the worst team in the playoffs.

Should be interesting but if they can’t steal a game or two on the road, that could spell trouble because I’m more than sure that Kobe and his crew can win in Boston.

Only time will tell.
