Look at the Heat Box score from that game. There is no way they can keep that up all season. Its litteraly a 3 man team.
That is a crazy box score haha
Wow! Just checked the box score. That is ridiculous. I seem to recall LeBron/Wade/Bosh scored like 90 pts of 100 or so just recently as well. Completely unsustainable against good defenses. You know, the type they will see in the Playoffs.
TP's for both of you
Edit: It was just last game against Portland, LeBron/Wade/Bosh scored 96 of the teams 107 pts.
I wouldn't call it completely unsustainable, but difficult.
Bottom line is those 3 are going to dominate the shots when their on the court. The issue becomes that no other player gets any rhythm out there because well... they don't touch the ball.
Still, it will always be difficult to make it hard on 3 players that are that good. Boston dominated Cleveland last year, because all they had to do with limit Lebron and make everyone else beat them. Now you can't just key on one guy, there are two others out there that can, and will, take the shots to beat you.
But, when no other players are getting any rhythm due to few touches, when any of those guys are off the floor, it makes the game a whole lot easier. That's where games can be won or lost, bench play.
And, thankfully to say, it's the area (when healthy) Boston can succeed the most in. There is no team in the NBA with a bench as capable as Boston. A unit of West/Nate/Daniels/Baby/Shaq can match up to any bench in Basketball and dominate them, hell that unit is better than some starting units out there right now.
