Sound Off: Why Does America Hate the Heat?

Under used is the best term. Both those squads have talented benches.. OKC's problem in particular is nobody on the team knows their damn role. Those guys come in and just so the same thing their starters do. Perkins seems to be the only guy on the time with a defined role. Excluding Russ, KD, and Ibaka of course.

And that was simply a phrase used on the internet a lot.

I hear you man, but then there are still fans like myself (who dont live in US but still follow NBA). I started watching NBA back in 2006-07 and honestly Lebron impressed me and since that day I have been supporting him since, in Cle and Mia.

People who dont have any home teams tend to root for the winners and it is the case in all sports. Im not exactly a bandwagoner, I supported Lebron during his rise and fall and now I just think that we should leave him alone and just let him play. The hate clearly does not effect him so why waste your energy?

This falls largely on coaching to me. But tbh, i think most of there problems are coaching related.

Oh definitely a lot of the blame goes to Brooks.

I sports hate LeBron, but I don't hate LeBron. He seems like a genuinely good dude, and he's obviously a tremendous basketball player. He made a big mistake with The Decision, but he understands that now.

I get sick of his flopping/crying for fouls. His size allows other players to get away with some stuff guarding him, but he's so much more talented than most of those guys, I wish he'd just shut up and play.

I used to love Wade, but I think the 2006 Finals ruined him. He expects to get a call every time now, like he did against the Mavs back then. He annoys me way more than LeBron at this point with his antics.

My reason for disliking the Heat, Starts and Ends with Wade. Never been of his stuff. Great Player, but he's the worst even when he was in his prime he did the same stuff he does now. I don't mind Lebron or Bosh. I'm actually starting to like Bosh quite a bit.

indy messed up badly when they traded for the guys and didn't use them much. you'll never win relying on your starters. i believe ivan johnson would've been a great player for them good hustle and intense

I wanted Miami to get him, but I think he took a contract overseas. If I'm not mistaken.
