The other big difference was Boston had to make trades for the team to get its Big Three which could have been stopped had Seattle and Minnesota said no (Seattle got the better deal at the time).
Miami's Big Three appears to have been done by the players themselves in advance without anyone else knowing. Then you combine it with the way Lebron left and the whole debut "party" ended up making a lot of people hate them. Also, Wade got really cocky this year while Bosh trashed his former team leading up to that "party." It also didn't help how Lebron was upset and felt people couldn't criticizing the way the team acts as if they were only allowed to praise the Heat.
As bad as the Lakers getting Gasol for basically nothing at the time, the blame went fully on the Grizzles for making the dumb trade (now it seems better due to Marc Gasol being good).
