Q: Am I the only one who really sees the long-term approach with this team? There's still a lot of talent on this team, but everyone is still trying to get healthy and learn each other. To quote Erik Spoelstra, this is still about the "process." We still have two future Hall of Famers, in Wade and Bosh, two extremely high IQ starters, in Josh McRoberts and Luol Deng, a young point guard, in Shabazz Napier, who, in my mind, will be in the top half of point guards by the end of the season, a sixth man, in Mario Chalmers, who's proving his worth and only getting more comfortable with his role, and Chris Andersen, Udonis Haslem, Danny Granger and James Ennis who can provide at least a little something in their limited minutes. They're in a good spot. I can see them making a bit of a run toward the end of the season, so even if they stay at .500 'til the All-Star break, that'd be a good place to be. Once the playoffs hit, the hope is that continuity will be there and they have the talent to compete with any other team in the East, including the Bulls and Cavs. Heat fans should've known that this wasn't going to be easy, but it'll still be fun! -- Martin, Los Angeles.
