nba.fanhouse.com: Celtics Not Afraid of Miami 'Superteam'

[Gomesfan]

1. Bosh, James and Wade are going to have to learn how to play together, both offensively and defensively.

2. Who becomes the leader in Miami? I see a potential power struggle btwn Wade and James. Neither will be the clear leader, unlike Garnett.

3. I'd be much more concerned if Bosh were a power 4, but he isn't. The Celts will shut off the driving lanes as best they can against Miami and make James & wade beat them from outside.

"DOC" Is our leader!!!!!!

Would you be scared if the Heat started with a core of Wade, James, Bosh, and Chalmers, brought back their minimum salary backup centers Jamaal Magloire and Joel Anthony and point guard Carlos Arroyo, then put together an all-ex-Celtics vet-min bench of Chucky Atkins, Eddie House, Shelden Williams, Brian Scalabrine, Patrick O'Bryant, plus their second round draft picks, center Dexter Pittman, D'Sean Butler, and the NCAA's all-time leading shot-blocker Jarvis Varnado?

I can't see the Heat doing much worse than that, and they will probably be better, but it should give an idea of what an all vet-min rest of the team might look like using players a Celtics fan would be familiar with.

The CELTICS will BEAT THE HEAT in the playoffs next year. Thats right I said it.

A very odd mix of talent, but they are definitely a match-up nightmare.

I know it is way to early for us to be looking ahead, but what if Orlando and Miami square off in a 2nd round series - while we play the Central Division winner (Chicago??).... Dwight Howard could injure the Heat the way that he injured us in Games 4, 5, and 6. Dwight Howard is a THUG.
