Could the Miami Heat beat the Warriors?

[MalikX]

The Warriors just went 5 with the Cavs which is an inferior team to the Heat. The Heat had way more firepower, a much younger LeBron, a team that had plenty shooters and loved to play physical ball. The Warriors also showed this series that they could be beat and that they fall apart with physical punishment.

LeBron James - A Prime LeBron could mitigate a 28 Year Old Durant
Dwayne Wade - Wade is taking Klay out the game. Period.
Chris Bosh - Bosh is going to score whenever and however he wants on Dray.
Mario Chalmers - The only mismatch GS has in their favor. Steph would kill him.
Mike Miller & Ray Allen - Both will rain down threes on GS. Along with Battier, a lowkey good three point shooter.
Battier & Haslem - Both are goons and will annoy multiple GS players on defense.
Birdman - Will get key blocks and rebounds.

The Heat is the only team in recent years that had enough fire power be GS.

At this rate I expect the 91 UNLV team to call ESPN any day now and say they'd beat this Warriors team.

How many debates on hypothetical matchups is the coli gonna do?

@Malta says the Heat was garbage because the Pacers took them 7 eventhough they're superior to the Cavs team in every way.

The Miami Heat team were superior athletically and that's how they won most of their games. Prime Wade and LeBron on the fast break and on D were unstoppable. Warriors are dominant mainly due to superior shooting abilities which keeps them in games and can lead to blow outs.

No, I said your post was garbage, you dudes stay arguing like females.

How do you expect the Heat to beat the Warriors when they weren't a "superteam"?

 

[Stop_It_5]

'12-'13 Heat are one of the few non-Showtime Lakers/'96 Bulls teams who would probably give them a run for their money

prime Brawn & Wade leading the charge on offense and defense, ability to comfortably go small with Bosh/Battier in the front court, shooters all over the floor, and they'd feast on the goofball turnovers GS has stretches of

fun hypothetical series

 

[MJ Truth]

The Warriors are the better team and I don't think it's debatable.

They could be beaten in a series with the Heat though.

I could see it. They played defense a lil better than this Cavs team. More efficient offensively too. I could also see GSW running them off the court lol

Seriously though, didn't LeBron say he "didn't believe in that"? Was he saying that in general? E.g. there are NO super teams or just his squads?

Seems like it would be competitive. Always funny when these debates devolve into "the team of HOFers I like would SWEEP the team of HOFers I don't like!"

He said he never played on a superteam.

I hope this isn't the post you wanted me to read.

Wade averaged 19.6ppg against Danny Green in the finals.
Chris Bosh averaged 11.9 against Diaw and 36 year old Duncan, if you could guard LeBron man to man you didn't have to respect Bosh' offense because he was catch & shoot.
Mike Miller averaged 5.3ppg and made less than 2 threes a game, he's gonna rain on the Warriors though.
Battier averaged 5.6ppg vs the Spurs, they combined for 3 threes a game...yeah they'd kill the warriors....low key
Haslem played 11 minutes per game.
Birdman didn't even average a fukking block in the finals, he pulled down 3rpg.


Basically, it was a pure garbage post where you pump up role players, and turn a blind eye to Wade losing a step in 2012-2013.

Battier would be on Durant
