Projected Line-Up:

PG: Mario Chalmers/Carlos Arroyo/Eddie House
SG: Dwyane Wade/Mike Miller
SF: LeBron James/De'Sean Butler
PF: Chris Bosh/Udonis Haslem
C: Zydranus Ilgauskus/Joel Anthony

C'mon. Admit it. These guys put together a far more impressive roster than anyone of us could have imagined. They actually have a solid bench with Arroyo who is a good scoring point guard and can pass well without turning the ball over. House is a good shooter. Miller is a good all-around player. Haslem is a double-double guy. Anthony is a shot blocking machine. Their most obvious weaknessess are the C and PG spots but I think the Big 3 can make up for that against most teams. Will breeze through the league first couple of weeks, but I think will go on a little 3-4 game losing streak. I'm intent on seeing what will happen with this team esecially on a losing streak or if someone gets unhappy with their shot attempts. Otherwise this is a great team. I think will easily make the playoffs but will get eliminated by either the Bulls,Celtics,or Magic in the 2nd round.

it's very possible that they can win over 60... I mean, I just can't see how teams will be able to stop Wade, Boah and LBJ all at once.. that's jjust too much.

but imo they won't win 60.. I still have a feeling there might be chemistry issues and I don't like their D downlow... at all.

When people stopped everyone on the Cavs but LeBron, he went 60+ wins.

Look at what happened to Miami and Toronto when everyone but Wade/Bosh were stopped....

Anyteam with good defense against driving offensive players would beat this team.

Besides, Miami's defense isn't nearly as good as teams like LA or Boston. No, not even close actually. Chalmers is an over-rated defender, (gtfo with great defender, cbi). Wade has good balanced D, and all James can do is get a few chase down blocks and everyone thinks he's a top defender (bs). Bosh? If he was at least good at defense he'd be considered the best PF, but hes not... Ilgauskas will get dominated by more than half of the NBA's starting C's. Prolly even more. (again gtfo cbi).

they didnt lose james jones.

how did you put bulter and pittman but not varnado? HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN.

Did I say Chalmers was great? I dont think so. He's definately a good defender and professional scouts agree...soooo.
more than half? dominated? he'd lose more than half of the matchups but realisitcally only get dominated by 4 or 5 centers. And when he does get dominated they have Anthony to plug in there and at least help stop the bleeding.

Oh. I thought you said great. My bad...

Dominate? Some. Get beat on? More than half.

Joel Anthony=Only .7 more points than Personal Fouls (per game). lol...

also 18th in the league in bpg and he's only 6'9

Oh, okay. So it's fine if everyone gets rebounds, points score, etc. on him as long as he gets 2 blocks a game, right? RIGHT!?

he was 18th in the league in blocks.

he played 16 minutes agma.e


you gotta imagine he's gonna be getting more mpg .


hes obviously not gonna stop dwight or anything. He's just gonna help stop the bleeding. which i already said. but you seem to think i thin he's god or someting :/

lol all i said is he's only good for blocking. but you have to see that his points and rebounds arent very high...

Who's Joel Anthony?

when he started at c everything went up. not amazing stats but if you can stop opposing teams from scoring, and let bosh, lebron, wade all good rebounders get rebounds for you. then go for it.

eh, good point. but z and anthony both cant be on at the same time unless you go really big and slow like this:

PG James
SG Wade
SF Bosh
PF Anthony
C Ilgauskas

Ownage on the boards yet will get beat downcourt every other possesion.

Yet I doubt that'll ever happen.

if they put anthony and z in at once, then bosh isnt in the game lol

Yeah thats what I figured hahaha.

They will do fine.If they don't win the championship this season,the next season will be theirs to lose

But it all depends on how well with the big 3 play in the playoffs
