He is taking the spotlight, but I'm sure the Heat love that. It gets the target off their back a little bit and honestly, I don't see a team that has a shot at beating the Heat in a 7 game series right now. If LeBron continues his dominant play they are a PROHIBITIVE favorite going into the playoffs. I would not be surprised to see them get into the conference finals without losing a game.

They should love that somebody else has the spotlight. The Spurs are the masters at not drawing attention to themselves, for those very reasons. I doubt LeBron actually loves that nobody is paying attention to his team these days. He just seems like a guy who loves the attention but does not like the consequences of said attention.
Lin will get the attention for the next little while because just like Tebow, he makes for a feel good story that lures in not just sports fans, but people in general. Lin, unlike Tebow, seems like he's going to at least be a good player, so the hype will die down eventually because of a lack of polarizing opinions.
When that happens, the Heat will get their due.
If the knicks win tonight there will be a huge morale boost for the whole team.
Here is the reason it's happening.
Miami is expected to win a lot of games.
Lin was a nobody, who became a somebody.
Obviously news is going to be something that nobody expected, instead of something people already had expected.
Hopefully I make sense.
A place to debate everything and anything!
