The Heat have options?

After the Heat's 88-80 loss to the Celtics last night, Lebron James might be overstating it just a bit when talking about how much talent the Heat really have. "It's a feel-out process," James said. "When you have so many options, it's something I'm not accustomed to, having that many threats out on the court at the same time."

Ignoring the slight at his former teammates, so many options and threats? Wade spent most of the second half on the bench, so beyond Chris Bosh and his massive 8 points, the options that needed sorting out are as follows: Joel Anthony, James Jones, Eddie House, Carlos Arroyo, Udonis Haslem, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

Wow. I guess I overlooked his tendency for hyperbole when he played for the Cavaliers because we as fans wanted to believe the Cavaliers
were better than advertised. With the Heat, the product will never match the advertisement. So the hyperbole simply sounds like a man
trying to convince himself this is a better basketball situation. The Heat will win because of the Big 3. Its how the NBA game works. But to tell yourself there were actually options last night against the Celtics would deny the obvious. LeBron was the best player on the floor last night. The Heat, however, were not the best team.
