Pretty much. Miami only wins on talent and nothing else. |
When you say talent....does that include defense?

Defense is mainly good because of supreme athletes who are good individual defenders. I'd say overall team D is above average as far as rotations, help, and recovery goes. Teams still get good shots if they pass well. Plus there's no interior defense, but few teams have the players to take advantage so it doesn't get exposed.

I agree somewhat that the defense is more so because of the players at his disposal than him. But even before 'that' summer, we were good defensively...then again we still had good defensive players

We beat both Boston and Chicago in five games last year.

Miami wins because they have elite athletes. They force teams into "school yard basketball" and win.

To be honest the NBA as a whole plays "schoolyard basketball".
The whole league is predicated on isolations and one on one basketball.

Tbh I kind of want Miami to win just because I'm sick of the LeBron hate, although I like what Indiana is doing there

I like the pacers, IMO they are 1 great scoring player away from being a Finals Caliber team. But they just don't have enough to beat the heat in a series. Roy Hibbert will be tough to handle tho. I got us winning by game 6. Bosh is going to be a big factor in this series.
The one thing that bugs me the most about spo. He is terrible at subbing players. Jones, Curry, Pittman, Turiaf( is he still hurt?) never get in the game . I know they are not the greatest players in the world, but I'm sure jones can help us alot with spreading the defense with his 3point shooting. Is Curry that bad that he can't even sub in for Anthony?lol I havent seen him play since earlier this season.

As a NBA fan Heat In 5-6
But as a Pacers Fan i am holding to a glimmer of hope.
PACERS in 7. Vogul is coming out guns hot.
We can steal game 1-2 at miami. We where a freak
dwade shot from going 2-2to vs them. We have a
good defense. Ranked 9th i believe. And Paul George
Is a freak athlete. Hes the second best athelete between
the 2 teams imo. A 6'10 guard isnt suppose to move like he does.
Were gonna need him to go attack mode. He can guard wade 1-1.
But if those screens happen he might get burned. Dwest should
Punk Bosh spice. Hes just too strong. And psycho T should punk
him as well. Those guys are physical shomething that bothers Bosh.
Center is a toss up. Hibbert should dominate but i like joels defensive presence.
Dc seems to have caught fire. He man handled Chalmers last time.
I hope we go
DC
HILL
GEORGE
GRANGER
WEST
Small line up that can cause problems. Granger at the 4 should be fun.
But this series will depend on how well lebron plays. If he has a off game
We should win. We can contain wade-bosh. But we have no answer for lebron
He destroyed us the first 2 times. He has always had his way vs Ind.
Should be fun and physical.
