I made a thread like this before the Grizzlies series (most of us picked Randolph pretty high and were wrong, but picked Prince as the guy we weren't afraid of and were all right).
Now that game 1 against the Heat is done, how afraid are you of each Heat player's ability to effect the series in a positive way?
LeBron: 9.5/10 - He's the best player in the NBA, and he did totally destroy the Spurs once a couple years ago (remember that 20-0 run or whatever it was?). He's probably going to work harder on O' Sunday, but I don't expect another 18 rebound game tbh.
Bosh: 7/10 - He sucked in game 1, but his potential to impact the game is, imo, greater than current Wade's.
Wade: 6.5/10 - I'm not knocking him by ranking him below Bosh, but he really has declined. He's capable of a big game still, but I don't think he's capable of being the D. Wade of the past every game anymore.
Birdman: 4.5/10 - He's a pretty good role player and seems to really work hard on the offensive glass which can end up being pretty harmful for our defense. For a role player, I think he is probably their best one.
Haslem: 3.5/10 - Did anyone really even notice him last night? I noticed he hit that jumper, but then I looked at the box score and that's basically all he did. I don't think he's going to be anything like what Ibaka was last year. Not too worried.
Battier: ?/10 - I think I need to see more before I can really determine. Right now I'm in the 3.5-4.5 area for his hustle and reputation. But he didn't seem to be super impactful in game 1.
Allen: 3/10 - His D is meh and his shot's off. I still worry about him getting hot from three, but he mostly just seems to be waiting around to shoot it. Not too worried.
Chalmers: 3.5/10 - I worry about him hitting wide open threes, and he does have some speed to him, but I'd rather he drive and try to make plays than be shooting wide open threes
Cole's anti-Parker lockdown defense: lol/10
How about you guys? Who worries you the most? LeBron's the big one for me, but I weirdly am not super concerned about being totally killed by Bosh or Wade. I don't think they can do that, but they can play well. Their big 3 seems more like a big 1 and 2 kinda bigs.
