in what universe?
I don't know why some of you underrate LeBron's abilities so badly.
The man does not have to score to be effective. He is an amazing passer with elite court vision.
Then you have Wade roaming the court? Have you not seen one of Wade's favorite pet moves is to run back on offense before the defense is ready? Receive a lob pass to a Wide open Dwyane Wade for the layup or dunk?
Wade moves very well without the ball...
then you have Bosh in the paint.... and Mike Miller + Eddie House on the wings waiting for a 3pter....
lmao. Heat are looking unstoppable.
in what universe?
Lakers homer acting like he's since Bosh play but two times all season. Its pretty obvious that outside Laker playoff games you don't watch much basketball. Otherwise your posts would as re ed. YouTube doesn't count
LeBron will have to read and react to defenses faster with all that ball pounding he likes, that will probably piss Bosh and Wade off a lot more than Mo, Big Z and Varejao.
wow.. a miami / wade / lbj / bosh thread with quality bb discussions ?? I love this boycott.
The spurs solved this equation successfully by letting Manu coming off the bench and feeding the big one as the primary scorer.
For Miami they will have to find something else, obviously Bosh can't be the first O option and I don't see Wade coming off the bench.
Nevertheless, I agree with Phila, trying Wade off the bench should be at least tested by Miami but I don't see that happening.
I'm thinking the Heat are going to be a VERY uptempo team, pushing the ball up the court as quickly as possible. This is where I expect them to be the most effective, with Lebron and Wade running the lanes they are going to make a killing on fastbreaks.
Yeah that's where their true strength lies.
Problem is you're not running like that in the playoffs against a team that is dominating you on the glass.
Dude, Bosh/Wade/Bron/miller are all good rebounders. They might not be the best rebounding team but they will be solid.
Bosh is not a good rebounder and he's allergic to boxing out. Bron is a pedestrian offensive rebounder. Miller
They will be dominated on the boards by any team with interior size which is why they are winning next season.
This is the same guy that also said that Bosh doesn't score in the paint, even though he was in the top 5 in paint scoring last year..
9.1 rebounds for your career.
Not even averaging 11 boards next to Bargnani.
Bosh is like 230 and doesn't box out worth a . He's the black Dirk. The Lakers/Celtics front line is so scurred. Oh no don't jump shoot me to death!![]()
Bosh was 6th in the NBA in RPG and 10th in RB%, despite having #1 option responsibilities..clearly enough to be considered a good rebounder..
He was averaging 12+ RPG last year before the injuries in the 2nd half of the season, which brought his averages down significantly(9 and 8 RPG in March/April)..
if the Heat has a solid post option then all the other 29 teams also have solid post options. lol
Lakers = 3 solid post options
Heat = 0 solid post options
The Miami Heat are a well balanced team that will easily win the le barring injury (even though the Lakers won it last year with injuries)!
Yup. The NBA is most definitely ed.
the only one legit. The only way Blake will be good is if he was facing steve nash in every series. Brown can be explosive at times, but still not consistent enough. I can't say much about Barnes yet, but he is a good defensive player coming off the bench. It is kind of hard to say he will contribute every single game since he really didn't contribute much in Orlando. andratliff, he's probably going to get 2 points, 1 rebound, and maybe one block per game, he is more mediocre.
Eddie House > Steve Blake
Mike Miller > Matt Barnes
Udonis Haslem = Lamar Odom
James Jones = Shannon Brown
Juwan Howard = Theo Ratliff
Looks to me like Miami's bench is better.
this one is good
One more thing about this quote, compare to the Celtics bench, they have much more athleticism and size than the Lakers.
LOL now THAT is funny ...Now what else is funny
Doesnt matter anyway ...Lebron is the chosen one.
He will command it and so it shall be ...
The Heat will win les by the 1's, 2's and 3's
Lebron is so dominant he needs no bench help
Lebron when he dunks on centers they let out a yelp
I dont know why you guys even botha
Like Delonte doing dirt with Lebron's mama
So dont bet against the Miami crew
Lebron has already won the 2011 le, I thought you knew
Channeling my inner Heat/Lebron bandwagon ...
Adding Shaq and losing Tony Allen sure adds more athleticism to the bench
The only thing Boston's bench has on LA is fat.
You telling me 21, that Shaq clogging the paint when rondo CAN NOT shoot is NOT a smart basketball decision? (sarcasm off)
I do think Shaq can help in spots, but if you play him and Rondo together you just crowd the paint because neither are useful outside the lane and when they do go inside just hack cuz neither one can hit FT's either ...
Unless Maquis Daniels can replace Allen. they will miss Tony... even though he sucked on offense.
Celts need a wing defender...badly. Even tough Celts may have a better overall team i dont like their matchups with the heat right now ...
Their 3 best scorers would have to defend the heat's big 3 unless Rondo could guard wade (doubt it)
Thing that is funny besides coaching experience the other issue is... defensively the Heat won't be as good as people think ...
Haslem and Chalmers are the most solid defenders and BOTH are undersized ...
Lebron and Wade are great when focused and make spectacular defensive plays, but are both overrated on a playbyplay basis defensively ...Bosh is good help defender (at least on Redeem team) but overall they are going to havce outscore people which they will do on most nights ...
I think they will be good on defense but i think we will be better ...
And House Miller and Jones are suspect to below average defenders ...
With Bosh and Ilgauskus manning the frontcourt, the only red and black the paint will see are on Kobe's sneaks.
