Interesting line. It doesn't surprise me that Lebron has the higher stats for a season. But Wade's numbers are for a finals playoff series.

OK. No slight on Lebron. He is the King. Great player. More people/experts will rank Lebron over Wade as a player a much higher percentage of time. But for me, I just like Wade's game more.

So I would rate the current best 3 players in the league as Kobe, James and Wade. So think back in history when there has ever been 2 of the top 3 players in the league on the same team? It just doesn't happen. Until now. It will be very interesting to see. It's bee a while since there was this much interest in the NBA. More people will be watching what happens. Hell, 10 million people watched "The Decision".

Now this is all on the offensive side of the ball. It's no secret that Wade and James are willing to put the work into playing defense, and they are very good at it. So while they wont have the great inside defender, I don't think it will matter since the league is really turning into a outside oriented game.


True that most teams offenses are outside oriented, but all the best teams have huge threats inside. So while there is no doubt this Heat squad will breeze through the regular season, its going to be interesting during the playoffs. Look at the four teams who made the semi-finals last season - Lakers, Phoenix, Celtics, and Magic. All of these teams can play inside, but more importantly they can defend inside. Obviously the Heat will be a driving team on offense, but will they be able to defend Pau and Bynum, or Howard?

And all Miami needs is a couple big bodies to slow down the other teams bigs, and spend some fouls. Some one dimensional Centers. I think the BB TL has some of those guys.

Good point, the lakers will have their work cut out for them, but we actually do match up with them. Kobe-Wade, Artest-Lebron, and Pau-Bosh. I'm not saying those are all equal matchups but there aren't any real mismatches there besides that Lebron will be able to play off Artest and help out others on defense which makes the difference. So if Artest works on his shot over the offseason and Lebron has to play him straight up its anyones guess who would win as of now without actually seeing them play. Teams that lack mutiple, tall, and athletic defenders won't stand a chance against the Heat, but Lakers do have that. Of course the season hasn't started yet and we don't know everyone who is going to be on the Heat roster so all of this is just guess work untill we see the two squads meet.

Dwight Howard will destroy them in the playoffs.

I would like to go on record and say that Stephen Curry wins the MVP!!!!!

also, i think every player on the heat roster will average 4 assists per game minimum, and the team averages 135 ppg

Those are two very bold statements, the first being less bold :) Curry is the man.
