More signs dolphins are losing top dog status in Miami maybe 3rd best now..

Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about!

First off, its HASLEM, not Haslett!

Second, IT WAS THEIR FIRST YEAR TOGETHER! You take two of the top three players in the world, who predominantly dominate the ball, one of the top PFs in the game, and overall, a brand new roster, and most of the time, they wont make it to within two wins of a championship. You dont think this team will get better? Are you on crack? Players will want to play for the Heat, and they will take less money to do so. The Heat have the main pieces already, and Riley is far from done with this team. He was the only one with enough balls to do what he did, and when all is said and done, they will be hanging a couple of banners in the rafters.

Most experts didnt have them going to the Finals, or even beating the Bulls. And that was evident after the whopping the Bulls game them in Game 1. But when you have a Wade and James, you are never out of anything. They dominated the Celtics, and they took it to the Bulls as well. If it wasnt for a horrible 4th quarter in game two of the Finals, the Heat probably win the title in YEAR ONE! So if they were that good in YEAR ONE, with the big three, and not much else, how much better will they be when Riles adds pieces. Not only that, but when the season starts eventually, Miller will be 100%, Haslem will be 100%, and we will get to see Pittman worked into the rotation, as well as Cole. They will only get better!

You're the one who's full of it. You say "if it wasn't for..."??? And if they had p*ss**s, they'd make a fortune working 7th Avenue, N.Y. City. The only thing you got right was the misspelling of HASLETT's name . (Sorry about that) The HEAT are full of dormant "mediocrities" who will always be so, even if they wake up. Improvement? Ha! I place more trust in PARCELLS' old line about how they won't bite when grown up if they didn't bite as pups. Everyone has a history, and the HEAT's mediocrities are no different. If they can't "bite" by now,...!!! I mean, all the HEAT needed was for a "point guard"-type to step up, or for a C to step up and become the "Secretary of Defense" and/or the "Chairman of the Boards". Scoring? Not really needed.

As a footnote, and as to LeBRON, has anyone noticed how often he seems to choke against topshelf competition in "crunch time"? It seemed like MICHAEL NEVER DID. Maybe MIAMI should've gone after NOWISKY (sp?) and a for-real C. At least he's clutch...and some boards would really be nice.

Im full of it? You make absolutely NO sense, and by your post, have very little concept about sports in general. I should have stopped reading after you mentioned Parcells, but I had to see what other crap was here. All your crap about "p*ss**s, secretaries, and chairmans" show that you replace your lack of knowledge with pathetic attempts at humor/insults.

The Heat have mediocrities? You do realize that they have been more relevant in the NBA than the Fins have been in the NFL for most of their history. They made it to within a game and a terrible 4th quarter of winning it all with THREE players! Yeah, they had a terrible 4th quarter in game two, where they had a meltdown, just like you see in EVERY SPORT, it just happened to be on the biggest stage for them. You are nuts if you dont think that players will want to play with the Heat. They have two of the best three players in the world, one of the best presidents in all of sports, one of the best owners in all of sports, and an organization that is first class, and you think that this is it for them LOL. We should all be so lucky if the Fins had an organization like the Heat.

And if you want to question LeBron, fine, Im not against it. I actually think Wade is the better all-around player of the two. But your lack of the sports knowledge clearly shows when you mention Nowitski. Him being "clutch" was his biggest flaw throughout his career, and was questioned once again before the playoffs started. So who is to say that the best player in the world cant take that same next step?

If you want to debate, or at least try to, fine, but keep all the dumb nonsense out of it, because it just makes you dumber than you probably are.

Miami is the city with the highest unemployment rate in Florida, and out of towners try and tell us how to spend our money. why should i spend 50 or 60 bucks to watch the dolphins lose at home. seriously? 1-11. Oh and by the way. For those that keep thinking miami is a football town. its not. and it hasnt been for a while. i live here. In the heart of miami. Heat is what everyone talks about. Just in my class, 4 steelers, a redskins fans and a bunch of people love the jets. Me and a few others do follow the dolphins however. Marlins are irrelevant, same as panthers. Hurricanes are talked about but not as much. And as far as the heat go, thats all people talk about. Ill use my gym for example. MOstly everyone in it love the heat except for a few chi-town fans. When the dolphins played against the patriots. most seemed to like the patriots??? wierd huh

heat fans for the most part are fair weather fans.

And before i get bashed, no im not talking about every single one of them, like the posters on this site for example, but in general thats what they are.

wade, lebron, and bosh team up, and boom, everyone just loves the heat. please. id say 90% are fair weather fans, or in other terms front runners.

this isnt meant for the ppl on this site, but in general.

i think as soon as lebron decided to take his talents to south beach, they were top dogs over the dolphins anyways

This post is hilarious. Let me first say that I am a die hard fan of the Dolphins, The U, Heat, and Marlins, but seriously.... you're still putting the Canes in front of the Heat in terms of fan support in THIS TOWN? Are you kidding me? They can't even fill 75% of that stadium with the ****ing Buckeyes coming to town.

This is a high school and college football town, but in terms of professional sports, if you haven't seen the MAJOR CHANGE then you're as blind as blind can be.

Blind? Why? Because this town likes a winner and the Heat brought in Lebron? Hell as soon as they lost they became irrelevant, while anything the Fins do in the offseason is news.

It has nothing to do with stadium capacity . . . if you are basing your argument on that then you have already lost. Go ahead and conduct a local poll and ask the question . . . "In the next 5 years, would you take 3 Heat championships and 0 Dolphins championships or 1 Dolphin championship and 0 Heat championships"? I bet money people would rather see a Fins championship over 3 Heat championships . . . that makes them the "top dawg" in this town.

Obviously the Heat have the "bandwagon" support . . . are you seriously counting the bandwagon fans as having a "real opinion"? These are the same fairweather fans that pack 70,000 into Sunlife stadium for a playoff game for the damn Marlins . . . but don't bother when the team isn't doing well.

South Florida fans love a WINNER, and they are gonna support whatever team is having the most success at the moment . . . and that happens to be the Heat . . . but this will ALWAYS be a Dolphins/Canes town long after Lebron/Wade/Bosh retire/leave. I'm not being blind, I'm being real. The Heat were nobodies before Lebron . . . 4 damn years after a title, and all 4 years they were nobodies because they weren't winners. That is on a Marlins level. The Dolphins after going 1-15 created buzz that entire offseason, from staff changes, to free agency to the draft . . . they didn't even play a game and they had more buzz than the Heat . . . and they went 1-15. Ask yourself if you make any sense right now?
