What do teams need to beat the heat?

[ScottyG]

So what you're telling me is that Norris Cole, birdman, Shane battier, and a washed up ray Allen would have changed the 2011 series? Boy you guys stand hard. Oh and lets not forget rashard Lewis, who averages 5 & 2 is the xfactor? fukk outta here. And give me 3 things that have changed about LeBron since 2011? I'll be waiting. And don't you dare give me he's a leader now.

So much wrong in this post. Say what you will about those guys but there is no denying they are an upgrade over Mike Bibby, Eddie House, and Carlos Aroyo, and Big Z's corpse.

3 things different about Bron:

1. Post game
2. Better J
3. Better shot selection

Beyond that he didn't even play his best at the time.

LeBron isn't going to just disappear now.

Only way he folds is if someone like Dirk in 2011 is just making bucket after bucket and demoralizing him and the team.

I don't see anyone else doing that right now.

Durant has that potential but he relies on fouls and he has no back to the basket moves that Dirk has developed.. plus that one legged fade away is when Dirk has it going. Plus we all know KD ain't want it with LeBron.

I know my team's weaknesses.

Teams beat us by

• Being physical
• Crashing the boards
• last but not least..... GREAT ball movement.

If you think you're gonna beat us with isolation plays you got another thing coming

sounds familiar.

So you really think that was about Dirk's 42% shooting. You acting like Dirk played like Bron in Boston last year for 6 straight games. He hit big shots but he wasn't just out their dropping bombs for four quarters every game. JET was more demoralizing than Dirk because he was doing it in Lebron's face after he told him he was gonna do it.

The thing that cats keep overlooking is that the Heat were a couple of shots away from sweeping. nikkas acting like it was a sweep. It was a close series that came down to the 4th in games 2-5 and Bron clearly wasn't ready for those moments on that level yet. No one else will ever have the chance to exploit that again.

are you dumb or just blinded by your team. Dallas only won each games by a few buckets. Ray Allen averages at least 10pts off the bench. If he gets that average, Dallas is going home no matter how dirk played. That Heat team had one of the worst benches ever. So yes, Allen and Battier and Cole would send the mavs to the damn bushes. What killed the Heat that year was their inability to close out games. They led going deep in the 4th qtr every game except the close out.

the Nuggets hadn't hit their stride yet and I remember a few *questionable* coaching decisions (like not playing McGee down the stretch when he was looking the reincarnation of Dream) ended up killing us. but the important thing to look at in those games is the Heat couldn't keep us out of the paint and couldn't keep us off the offensive glass. and no, the addition of our former 4th string center to their rotation doesn't significantly change that.

and we're one of the few teams that has the ability to play Bron straight up. :iggy:

He forgot playing great defense. Offense teams alone ain't beating miami. Iggy isn't enough. I saw that philly and Heat series a few years ago.

So youre saying LeBron isnt playing with a fukk ton of pressure off his shoulders now that hes won the ring? So youre saying LeBron isnt better than 2011 LeBron since working with Hakeem the dream on a post game.

So youre saying the big 3 aren't better in there 3rd post season together than their first?

The bench isnt an upgrade compared to the 2011 Heat?

Ray Allen is washed up?

Birdman isnt an upgrade compared to not only the 2011 Heat but the 2012 Heat that won it all..

Do you even watch the Heat?

Negro please move the fukk on out this thread.

From any standpoint, there the favorites. What does a team like the spurs, Knicks, clippers, grizzlies, etc need to beat the heat in a best of 7 series? I think it's a good physical defender, dominant offensive & or defensive, and spot up shooters. A similar build to the 2011 mavs

The 2011 Mavs would get swept by this version of the Heat.

This man speaks the truth. Clippers and Nuggets are so damn different than the Heat that they have the possibility of surprising them. The clippers can play several different styles.

Unfortunately, Norris Cole would shut down CP3 and Ty Lawson

 

[Big Boss]

you better hope lebron play like he did in the 2011 nba finals

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

He forgot playing great defense. Offense teams alone ain't beating miami.

the Nuggets are 11th in defensive efficiency, not exactly SSOL Suns status.

Iggy/Brew/Chandler = one the best three-man combination of wing defenders in the league.
