These threads pop up frequently and I always feel compelled to reply. Miami Heat mean nothing. They are a mild annoyance, no more than an itch. Folks don't like them because they don't like certain people -- Lebron, Dwayne, Bosh, Ray -- and perhaps the way the team was constructed. But historically this TEAM means nothing. I am indifferent to the Heat as a franchise.
But the Lakers are the team enemy of the C's. The players are basically irrelevant, it is the Lakers that matter. Wilt, Jerry, Gale, Baylor, Kareem, Magic, Cooper, Kurt, AC, Worthy, Fisher, Shaq (when with them), Kobe -- I hate(d) them all, not for any personal reason (except Kobe), but because they brought championships to the Lakers franchise.
If Heat-Lakers happens, I am all aboard the Heat train.
