1. 0 Offense creativity (with Bosh, Wade, and Lebron on the same team there is no excuse for them to be taking fadeaway Jumpers and contested jumpers). Without offense creativity they are easier to guard (play zone and let them shoot themselves out of the game).
2. No leadership (Where are the leaders on the team that will make Lebron and Wade accountable for consistently turning over the ball in key situations)?
3. Inconsistent Defense ( When everything is going well Miami is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, but as soon as things don't go well they get lazy on defense)
4. Inconsistent Role Players ( Mike Miller is essentially stealing game checks. He was brought in to make open shots and he's been terrible the entire year).
Great post.
The 4th point you made is where they really miss Udonis. He's a very good mid range jumper, who's not afraid to bang in the post and get the tough rebounds and he would provide a level of toughness their frontline is lacking.
1. I would assert that most team with dominant individual scorecers eventually degenerate into isolation, i didn't see any offensive creativity fromt he bulls at the end of that game. Just some desperation shots made, contested shots converted and lucky bounce or two.
2. Uh, good defense forces turnovers that which the bulls have, you and I have no idea about he quality of leadership in the locker room so it's pointless to pretend you do.
3. Anybody who watched that can't tell me the heat were anything other than EXCELLENT defense at the end there, the bulls converted some tough shots at got some lucky bounces but the D was excellent.
4. Correct.
You only got number 1 out of 4 so I think you fail at basketball analysis.
I can't understand this obsession with Udonis Haslem, you really want to play him at 4 and Bosh at 5 in crunch time? Really? For teams with real size I'd much rather go Damps/Bosh/Miller/Lebron/Wade.
