Miami problems?

One conference, the best and worst teams, the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Bobcats.  How could the defending champion Miami ever be contested by a team like Charlotte, turns out they are.  The Heat are rolling on a 4-game winning streak and with a lineup as star-heavy as theirs how can you lose.  Well the Laker's found out it isn't so hard struggling to be a playoff caliber team.  Could Miami be having the same problem?

The Heat aren't showing any sign of slowing down but have been losing to teams that they are highly favored to win against such as the Warriors and Sixers.  Even if they haven't lost the games have been to close for comfort.  They have played the Bobcats twice this season and in both games they won but it was close until the end.  Even in the last game it took Lebron 31 points to finally bury the Cats.  The Heat have proved themselves against rival's and top conference contenders but the key to success isn't just stopping there but dominating every team you play and not stepping off the gas for a second.  If the Heat are to be a top contender again that will be the key.

And if Lebron is really the best player in the league he needs to be a leader as well as a scorer and show the younger players some of the experience that has helped him stay on top in the NBA.  Wade is getting older and is not playing as aggressively so I think Chalmers needs to start driving a little more.  But mostly the Heat just need to play their game.  Stay relaxed and play every night like its the finals and they'll go big in the postseason.
