They were over-rated in July and August.
They have improved quite a bit since then.
Simple as that.
Not sure how that makes sense. Did people not expect a team of new players coming together not to improve or something? Were they not supposed to improve over an 82 game season? Of course they would improve.
Also I do still think the Celts have a shot....Chicago is whatever though, that team is way too reliant on Rose offensively and Miami matches up nicely with them.

Um, did you think when the hype in July was that they were going to prance their way to 70+ wins? Van Gundy saying they would beat the Bulls' 72 win record, Phil Jackson saying they'd get 70...
There was no guarantee how this team would gel and improve over the season. Sure they'd get better, but no one knew to what extent.
I stand by what I said 100%. They were over-rated at the beginning of the season, and they have improved quite a bit since then.
The Heat suck. Three of the best players in the NBA on one team. The only one on that team that has some heart is Wade. Lebron will never be mentioned with Michael Jordan.
They are not winning it all this year, or next.
