With all of the talk about Heat and everything I started thinking. Who would win a championship first, Dolphins or Heat? Your comments??
Well considering Dolphin season ends in February and Heat season ends in June. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING: The Dolphins.
Gotta go with the Heat. In the NBA, all you really need is 8, maybe 9 players during the playoffs to make the run. It's much easier to win a title in the NBA than it is in the NFL IMO. Why else would the Lakers have like 98 titles and the Celtics 92?
I think the Heat will probably go first. Uber talented, and they're expected to contend immediately. I'm not convinced our Phins are quite there yet defensively. And Henne still has to prove himself. Check out www.heatfreak.com. - sent from my Android via Tapatalk -
I think the Heat will have everything they need by the time the season starts to win. I think the Fins defense will need a year to mature, but the offense has the potential to be dynamic and somewhat eplosive. The key for the Fins this year is special teams. I voted for the Heat.
Heat. No question. The Heat might win two or three titles before the Dolphins make it back to the Super Bowl.
I love both.. But my gut tells me the Heat... The Phins will be playing with homefield advantage next year.. But I'm not sure if they can win the title. The HEAT WILL BE 2010-2011 Champs
I picked the Dolphins because I think this whole dream team thing is gonna blow up in the Heats face. The Heat won't win a single title with the "big" three.
heh Well not a Heat fan and don't think they should be handed the ring in July like many seem to be doing. I of course hope the Dolphins win it first, preferably starting in 2010, but I've watched a lot of seasons and they haven't sniffed a Super Bowl yet so trying to keep expectations somewhat within reason. The defense has a lot of question marks floating around and the injury bug needs to stay away. Excited for opening day and seeing what they can do though.
the dolphins will win it all in 2011/ 2012 if there is a season. thats my prediction. as for the Heat. I dont see it until year three at the earliest. No way they get by Boston, Orlando and the Lakers this year and i doubt next year. its obvious also the two new york teams have the same plans in place and i wouldn't be surprised if the heat move is going to start a new trend of super teams at the expense of the smaller market teams. carmelo to the knicks is almost guaranteed and we'll see if they get paul too. i think the odds are the Heat wont win anything since they'll never be able to get the big man needed to win it all. too many equally talented teams with all pro big men for the heat to get through
He is hurt by what transpired. His opinion is an emotional one. Vegas has them as the odds on favorites to win it all this season. SO you be the judge.
I won't predict a Dolphins championship cause it has been so long so. I guess the Heat even though I think they will struggle with chemistry and egos and may not win one. An NFL championship is such a bigger accomplishment because of the team concept and the pure physicality of it all. I hate to call the SB championship lucky but there are a lot of those variables in there along with the pure skill as a whole. In football the sum is not equal to its parts. It is greater than them. I would love to see the Dolphins win the SB hell I would give my left nut but it is and always will be the taller order in this comparison.
Yeah, I know...You should have seen my original post before I thought better of it and toned it WAYYYYY down to just putting on a clinic.
Heat and it's not even close. They may win a title before the Dolphins even see another postseason (hope not). FYI, I'm a Dolphins & Heat fan equally. I don't put one above the other. Never. Not speaking on this thread but more so on what's been going around the town lately - why are these fan bases somewhat divided? If you grew up down here, then you should be a fan of both.
What's with the third option ?? One or the other HAS to win a championship first....anyway, I think that the Heat have the best option to win this coming season whereas the Fins, IMHO, are a season of growth of youngsters and an offseason of an acquisition or two away from a championship.
In one of Shula's books he talks about luck. Says it's just one of the necessary items to being championship caliber, but it's definitely a necessary item in success...
Football has such a short adjustment window as opposed to Basketball.. at least at the pro level. Might be the reason I like college basketball so much. You get one game to win a championship which equates to hours as opposed to days. You have to figure it out pretty damn quick cause the clock is staring you in the face. Sixteen games in the NFL and then do or die. Give me a game seven in the NBA final and I'll tune in but give me the NFL playoffs and the SB. That has my attention.
Well, with the SparanoPhins opening 08 0-2 and 09 going 0-3, if the Dolphins don't turn that around this yr Joe Robbie will be doing a ghost town imitation. I will say the Heat won a Title in 06, and yet there was no mass migration to purchase season tickets even with two super stars on the roster. However, since 06, there has been a decline in Dolphin Home Game attendance: 2009: 19th 2008: 18th 2007: 8th 2006: 7th http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_club_attendances_(2006) http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance/_/year/2008 Basically, the Dolphins have bled 5k fans for every home game, since 2006 which had a high of 72k down to 09's 67k. Granted the Miami Area economy has taken a huge hit, and season ticket sales numbers are unknowns, but 5k per game is no small thing, what is worse, even 08's turnaround season did not reverse that trend. On a positive note: Dallas went from attendance in the mid 20's all the way down to #1 with a new stadium, which imho is probably what the Dolphins need, not building on some nonsensical tarp covering as it may attract more SB's, it won't re-add those 5k fans who have found other things to do..
