sasha is worthless. james is going to eat him alive. Sasha will get 2 quick fouls trying to stay with james
I actually think Sasha will have better luck defensively against James than he did against Melo. Melo is tough, because he can basically shoot over him, and he is not really bothered by Sasha getting up in his space. Lebron on the other hand needs to be able to step into his perimeter shots to be successful from out there, so an aggressive defender like Sasha or Daniels (who did well against Lebron last year), can have a little more luck making him uncomfortable by getting underneath him.
The bigger issue tonight is going to be with the bigs IMO. Will they be on time with their help defense, to close out the open lane, when Sasha plays him up tight, and will they be there one the backside to stop Bosh and Haslem from killing them off of the double-teams?
I think KG and JO will do a decent job, but this is what really worries me with Bass and Wilcox. They have the potential to get really burned.
I also fear whether the C's will be able to score against the Heat's defense. They are going to need another incredible game from Rondo.
