Heat vs Celtics Thread

First topic message reminder :

Predictions?

The heat looks lost and the celts look better than ever.
Lebron, different team, same problems...

I'm wondering when exactly LeBron will go into the post, and why he claimed he's not used to having a lot of options...what options did he have besides Wade and Bosh? Also, thought it was interesting that in the 29 minutes the Big 3 was on the floor together, they were actually outscored by 8. I'll be curious to see what goes down with the Magic on Friday night.

Wade and bosh are huge options..

He did go into the post a few times last night.. but each time he either missed or turned the ball over. He needs to learn some damn post moves. With his size and strength he should be posting up people with ease...

So..when will they give him some serius supporting cast? Wade and Bosh are jokes. He needs at least 4 superstars in his team, 2 is nothing.

Givee him

Wade
bosh
carmelo
chris paul...

lol

Heres my analysis

-Lebron has the ball in his hand just as much as he did when he was in Cleveland (maybe more) which causes Wade to be useless and Bosh still isnt that great as a finisher
-The heat need some kind of offensive system that will incorperate the big 3 WORKING together
-Their role players are horrible.....straight up
-Wade looks like crap when he doesnt have the ball in his hands
-Bosh has potential in this team, but the team doesnt know how to play with him

I think the best way is to have them on the floor at different times.

Obviously, you want them all starting the game and ending the game together, but once it's time to bring in the bench players, keep just one or two of them in. Wade has shown he can be great while having the ball in his hands all the time, and so have Lebron and Bosh. Then you can have an all-star on the court at all times during a game.

But then playing time might become an issue...

No,Raza.They still have undefined roles

I think LeBron should work on his post game harder and actually stay a lot more there.Bosh should be more focused on defense

But the thing is I doubt Lebron's post game is good and Bosh's defense is good. You can't really teach players to play completely out of their playstyle (well not so much in Bosh's case) when they've hit amazing all-star years for 7 years playing their way. Lebron won't have great post moves and Bosh won't be a great defender by the playoffs..they can START the development of those things, but it'll take a few years to get them right, which goes back to that "Will history repeat itself" thread, where the general idea was that it'll take a few years to perfect the team.

But Lebron posting up more...does that mean Wade will be the primary ballhandler in 2-3 years?

idk which ball game yall watch but for the last 3 years bosh has been an exceptional defender...

I dont get why people say they need chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. And when they do, all they talk about is scoring and offense.

Being in sync on defense is more important towards winning a championship.

The Heat gave up too many points to the guys they knew were going to score, Pierce and Allen.

Also, they need to learn how to stop a great point guard. Rondo had 17 assists. Help defense really works.

All this starts by getting a good team-defense, or it'll keep happening: James will score so much, and the rest of the team does almost nothing.

I give credit to LeBron for the performance he had, it's not his fault. But it's too easy for the better defense's in the leauge to give LBJ freedom and keep the rest of the team in check.
