Play zone.

I figure the only team with a chance are the Magic and the Lakers since they have a good front court and the Heat's frontcourt is full of but otherwise how do you beat this team?
Play zone.

Lebron
Bosh
BigZ/Anthony

82 win ecstasy !
73-9 ?
lol'd
Cant yall people stop saying the Heat are unbeatable when we haven't seen them play a game together their whole team looks way different than it did last year we don't even know if it will work out with a team having 2 stars(Wade, Bosh) that have the ball in their hands 80% of the game. The Lakers are the Champions and they should be the team to beat.
Artest
Odom
Gasol
Bynum
Ratliff
Come inside our paint if you dare. We will play volleyball in your paint.
James has promised many things...
great ing frontline
The bottom 2 are pretty much guaranteed to be hurt by the time april comes around..
Did not matter the last two years. Why would that change anything. Our frontline will still the out of yours.
Rebound and control the pace. It's pretty simple.
The Lakers and maybe Boston are the only teams with the ability to do that though.
+1
Rebounding is probably the major role against our team I think the Magic could also be up there with Boston and LA.
A nice fan and some air conditioning.
seriously, Miami will be very good but Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Lakers still have a shot at taking them out, especially if depth becomes an issue behind the big 3. I expect them to be in the ECF, on paper they look good enough to get there, but like Chicago with all the improvements they have to prove it as well.
Thats what Im saying on paper we might be the best team but we havent played a game with the new team and so did the Bulls.
Score more points than them.
Dwight Howard should have a field day against that front line including if he's defended by Bosh. But he'll have to be smart because LeBron or Wade will just drive to the hole and throw themselves into Howard and BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, there goes the whistle.
If they can make shots alone the perimeter, they can beat the Heat. Definitely exploit that Nelson-Chalmers match up. Problem is they have to depend on 36 million dollars worth of in Carter and Lewis. Advantage Heat.
I think the addition of Big Z is pretty under rated to be honest... he's had some good success guarding some of the better finesse pivot players in the league... he's used his length well even against Gasol and Duncan toward the latter part of his career. So against the Lakers, he can probably give you solid 20-25 minutes defending Pau and Bynum.
Obviously if you be physical.. ala Dwight Howard.. you can have your way with him... but Bynum and Pau arent those type of players. The Shaq/Ilgauskas and Varejao/Ilgauskas combinations in Cleveland had more success than any other team in the league in containing the Lakers frontline... that i saw anyway.
Magloire is a big body who can probably keep Bynum and Pau a couple of feet further from the basket for 10-15 minutes a night... and Anthony can give you some shot blocking although i wouldnt like that matchup if i was the Heat.
The you have Bosh (who is under rated defensively) obviously who will see the majority of time guarding Pau and Odom... and hes big and athletic enough to at least get a hand up and put up some sort of resistance... so I think they have enough on the front line to be a championship team.
stay in the shade, drink lots of water, move to a cooler climate
You force them into bad decisions with the basketball. This is easier said than done because you need two defenders to stay in-front of Wade and Lebron. The Lakers have the personnel to do it with Matt Barnes (Wade) and Ron Artest (Lebron). You force them into a bad shot by cutting off the passing lanes and not letting them get comfortable offensively; keep them off rhythm by showing different defenses. This is tricky because Lebron and Wade are both good at taking advantage when they see two defenders (tilt) on them. The trick is to cover all the passing lanes at the same time you show two defenders. They could do this with Lebron in his later time with the Cavaliers because Lebron was a one-on-one player.
Keep them out of transition. You have to get quality looks at the basket at the other end. You have crash the offensive glass and get back defensively when they start to run. Otherwise, they will beat you up.
I think Bynum can isolate Bosh and take him out of the game. I don't see him fight when he gets a quality defender on him. That may change if he has Spolestra, Riley, Lebron, and Wade putting a boot in his ass. He's mentally much like Lamar Odom. So don't let him get hot. Don't let him gain confidence or when he does, defend him so that he makes bad decisions. Make the Miami Heat go away from him.
yeah really, I mean at least with the Lakers I didn't hear anyone promise so my les, Heat losing would be a really massive failure, more so then the Mavs in 2006
Carter isn't , I'd rather have him over Bosh
Very true. Lebron and Bosh are players.
Hope that Spoelstra stays the head coach. I am serious on that too. Riley needs to come back to coach this team. The D will be much better under Riley and much more physical. The guy is a hall of famer and a coach I would trust in the playoffs.
