Big Baby plays best when he has someone to impress. Garnet pushed his buttons until he balled (double ontandra intended). So with Shaq here there's no telling how hard baby is going to play.
Our front court needs to beat Miami's front court cause we're not beating their back court.
TP which makes the 10 min a game extra wing concept even more ironic. The blue print is pretty obvious... I guess if they want to sign a vet min guy for injury purposes there is no downside but, the names being thrown around this blog have little to no talent.
I had the 'hoped' the trade BBD comments would dwindle with 1 less big (since as you correctly noted that's how will beat Miami) but, assumed it wouldn't sadly..
i beg to differ, Rondo is a lot better than Chalmers, and coming back from FIBA, his skills should improve as well
Yes DWade and Lebron does have advantage over Ray and Paul BUT
remember Ray also lit up Wade during the series, defensively for Miami, Wade will have a tough time fighting off picks to catch ray ray (put in Shaq, Wade will take more steps getting around Shaq)...
Lebron as we saw in the semi finals, had a bigger impact on Pierce than Artest did...Pierce production will be quite low
overall yes Miami is indeed stronger but our front court does indeed own theirs,
our backcourt is not as great as Miami but its doable, and matchable, their bench is weak in my opinion, throw in our bench consistently I do not see a reason why we cannot match with Miami
remember 08-09 and 09-10? because our lack of bench production, fatigue and injury hit our starters...
if Miami's bench do not produce or play defense, their 3 kings will play 35+ mpg, i mean maybe injury and fatigue will not have as much as an effect compare to our starters because of age, but if our bench is better than theirs, our starters do indeed get a lot more rest
