to put things into perspective though
miami a one player team
cleveland a one player team
orlando a giant inside that if we can control hurts the "brilliant" 3 pt shooting system
I think we have done a great job on defense but it will really matter against the lakers who have more than just kobe.
We made Clevland into a one player team. We are making these teams look worse than they are.
Clev is one of the top offensive teams in the league.
Howard-Carter-Nelson-Lewis? Thats an impressive bunch. I don't see why the Lakers are much more impressive than that.
Do we have to face Phoenix for you to be impressed?
your first part here is what i have trying to hit on which too many people aren't understanding
our defense made cleveland go away from their offense and be a 1 on 1 team (much like celtics/pierce would do before kg, doc, rondo etc)
the inside out game of orlando isn't showing up because of our defense yes but in terms of playoff basketball and when you have the best teams playing at a higher level I'm not scared by orlando as long as Lewis can be held in check. I think he is the x factor in series
BUT the only team I see that can still play their game plan against our defense is the lakers this will be the real test. Mind you last finals we played against them we crushed them physically and mentally. I feel Gasol is much much better this year but still feel KG can handle him.
As for the suns,
they are going to swept by lakers, they have a nice offense but their defense is subpar. I'll gladly take dudley bc kid on our team .
And no I'm not a lakers fan, I'm not knocking the c's, I feel our defense is the key to winning another championship just trying to put things into perspective.
agree with posts about amare, his defense is lackluster and wade who should be in mvp contention every year because miami is not good
