Heat's depth, and starters stepping up, crucial for team to compete for title

Heat starters will need to match the intensity of the bench for the team to compete but improved depth has already impressed.

Dwyane Wade's comment about the Heat coming after LeBron James was an example of media trolling. Wade actually said every NBA team was "going after" the Cleveland Cavaliers just because they are the heavy favorites to win the Larry O'Brien trophy.

One player cannot win a championship: Michael Jordan did not win a ring until Scottie Pippen came aboard the Bulls. In post-season play, even if the Heat beat the Cavaliers, they must win three other series to become the last team standing.
