Also playing against a regular team, 2 great perimeter defensive players will help out a lot down low but when playing against allen and pierce it won't help out as much

He averaged 25.3pts and 11.6rbs against Boston last year. I know that it was regular season ball and not playoff ball, but that tells me that there isn't exactly a Dwight Howard on Boston either. But hey, time will tell.

jordo212000;444574 wrote:hahaha, Shaq and Jermain freaking O'Neal are their post guys. Perk will be back late, but there is no guarantee he'll be 2010 playoff Perk. Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal have both been washed up for some time. (I know they have KG, I am mainly talking centers. and I know Bosh will not be playing center per se, but that is only in name. Bosh will be their center. Especially if they want a PG, Mike Miller, Wade, and James on the court at the same time)

Say what you will about the Heat matching up with the Celtics, just don't act like the turd sandwich combo of Shaq and J.O'Neal will be better than Bosh + anybody with a pulse.

KR1245;444590 wrote:Who exactly do the Heat have down low? You people keep bringing up what the Celtics have. Lets look at the Heat.

Z
Udonis Haslem
Magloire (sp?)
couple rookies
Bosh

I'll take Bostons bigs anyday of the week over that.

It's not like the Heat are any different than any other team who lacks a good center. It's just not a position of need as much in today's NBA.

And the Heat are going to make teams match up to them first. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of minutes played with Bosh at center and Lebron at the PF. Talk about match up problems.

Let's remember, games are won by the team who scores the most points.

thedynasty1998;445277 wrote:Okay, you take the Celtics. That's fine. But what makes you think that combination of bigs is ever going to make a difference in a series against Miami, who has 2 of the top 3 guards in the whole league? Maybe Boston's bigs are slightly better. But Miami's guards are significantly better.
