pop smart enough to know he compromises the whole defense trying to make it a point to stop lebron.

what kills the spurs is if allen, chalmers, etc are knocking down 3's like crazy out there.

i think they defend the heat the same way they defended golden state. totally take away the 3 all together. kill them on the glass and keep lebron assist totals down.

i think the key is wade. if he elevates his game i think the heat take it

oh and the fact the refs will play a deciding factor

What's going to happen with Norris Cole rapes Tony Parker on the defensive end?

But let the ECF finish before making these threads. THe pacers technically have a chance to win 3 out of the next 4.

Tony allen and conley are probably 2 of the best defenders in the league on the perimeter

Parker just gave them that work

I can't see cole slowing parker on a good ankle

The heat have solid perimeter defenders, even their bigs can step out and harass. It's not just Cole, even though I'm curious to see that matchup 1-1.

Even though some people claim otherwise, I'm of the opinion Cole is a much better defender than Conley. Let's see if I'm right.

thing is, the Spurs bigs set solid screens... its not really one on one basketball cause Parker is getting free all the time either on the ball or off the ball

Chalmers and Cole both get through screens pretty effectively, and when the bigs switch on screens, haslem, bosh, birdman all do a respectable job harassing perimeter players. I suspect TP will be passing for the corner three a whole lot this series.

(assuming the Heat win the ECF)

Thats exactly what kills you on defense, after chasing him around two baseline screens, he catches up top and then they rescreen you like 2 or 3 more times until youre just like :pacspit: fukk going over the screen, let the big man handle that . Big men looking at parker like :merchant:

like a few other people said your not gonna totally eliminate lebron from getting his but if they contain some perimeter shooters and work the boards there gonna be fine, wade is and bosh are going to be huge x factors in this game.



blair should be getting back into the rotation in the finals they could use his offensive rebounding and his hustle points against the heat.

well im measuring on the difficulty

overall the memphis grizzlies are a better perimeter defensive team

and they have much better bigs up front

yet tony parker make them lunch meat

so its hard for me to see tony parker being stopped by cole, and then battier, bosh or birdman slowing him when the damn defensive player of the year, plus z bo couldnt stop him from getting inside.

i think parker will get his, just like lebron will get his

the key is what other players beside those 2 will step up and make it happen

i trust wade can do more than ginobli

and i think bosh will hit more outside shots than timmy

but i expect a close 6 game series
