Well yes and no. In the NBA, dynasties can definitely exist - Lakers, Spurs, Bulls of recent past. Coming out at the beginning of the season and declaring a favorite in these instances, and being able to back up is one thing. However, those automatically crowning the Heat, or anyone else, after this off season and free agency period, with so much unknown, were just ignorant and short sighted. Anyone could see that absolute talent they had, but whether or not they would have the best
team was well away from being known. Though I do think they have the best team, they looked far from during the regular season, and in some playoff performances too. Basketball is a sport in which the best team seems to, more often than not, win the title. It's not like NFL where everything rests on a single game, or MLB postseason, where crucial players current "hot" or "cold" streaks could be the difference maker in a relatively short series.
