WHEN Kwahi Leonard gets in foul trouble in the finals, who guards LeBron?

[Goatpoacher]

well im measuring on the difficulty

overall the memphis grizzlies are a better perimeter defensive team

This is not actually true. The Heat just play defense when they want to. When they want to put the screws on TP he's going to look like Raymond Felton


Remember the other side of the equation THe heat can put up points. The Grizzlies rely on pure defense, the Heat can kill you on both ends.

The heat can put Cole, CHalmers, Wade, and ultimately Lebron on TP. And whie the grizzles bigs are better defenders overall, the Heat's bigs are more flexible away from the paint, particularly UD and Bosh. THey are not going to protect the paint as well, but the Heat have the ability to wear down TP moreso than any other team.

On the opposite end, Chalmers has the ability to make TP work too.

They played like crap in game 3, but the pacers were the better team in the first 2 games.

The Spurs winning last night just sealed the deal for the Pacers. Heat winning the next two.

if im the Spurs, Id put Leonard on Wade

Let Lebron go off, but stop everyone else

Why though? It wouldn't make sense to put Leonard on Wade when you already have Danny Green.

I'm not worried about the perimeter players if we have to face y'all, i'm more interested in how Bosh will do. He is the X-factor to me. Basically I think y'all winning will come down to Bosh, Birdman, Haslem, and Battier and how they match up with Duncan and Splitter. Y'all can't afford to let Bonner get confident and comfy and cheap baskets like the Grizzlies did.

On a related point, I think it's going to be Duncan that has to carry the Spurs. I'm of the opinion that the Heat can shut down TP when they want to. However, there's no guarantee that's what Spoelstra will decide to do. The Spurs are a multi-headed beast, unlike let's say the D.Rose led bulls in 2011. The heat have been pretty bad all year rotating to 3 point shooters too.

Dont act like green dont have the footwork to keep up with lebron

Thread title should be, "When" instead of "If"...

Stephen A Smith and co were already talking about the Spurs vs Heat matchup today. A lot of people don't expect Pacers to win

 

[Brief Keef]

Lebron....he will choke like he always did against the Spurs

always did ? it was one time jackass now if you wanna say against teams in texas then but still fukk you

Of course not. The Pacers turn the ball over, have no answer for LeBron in the post, struggle to score, they stand zero chance and will lose by 10-15 tonight.

I think after leonard it would have to be green and blair

Leonard a better offensive threat than Green, imo

but I feel you.

 

[Big Boss]

stak5 would have been playing lebron a lot
