Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons
detroit has zero interior offensive presence. Zerebko and wallace arent gonna post guys up. I do like how they are using prince as a point forward at the top and letting stuckey come off screens. James is dominating though. He is playing harder now then he did at the end of the cavs season.
halftime: Lebron looks very good! he looks jus like he has looke his whole career. Wade is clearly out of shape with a hamstring injury. Bosh is always going to beat up on smaller front court players ( Maxiell 6'7 Vilanueva 6'11( plays like he is 6'5))
Biggest difference is Lebron is playing more of a PG role which fits him better.
Just a precdiction but i think that this team will end up being Lebron James team. Lebron is younger, stronger, and faster then Wade. Wade is going to be a number two man. however who is going to be the point guard that is going to come up strong in the playoffs?
As for my Pistons Rodney Stuckey looks terrible! Stuckey is a combo guard with no 3 ball which should have him as good trade bait. though its preseason can the Pistons get any worse? or is it the coach?????
I'd say a Center, Wade and James can carry PG duties if neccessary, and Chalmers and Arroyo might not be your ideal PGs, they can carry the load surrounded by Wade, James, and Bosh.
As for there C spot, Ilgauskis, Magloire, and Howard, are up there in age...and with a late first I think they can do a bit better than Joel Anthony
Don't think so. I think Chandler is still too young to pass that kinda money. I mean he is in his prime, he will lose his athletism in 5-6 years and teams are overpaying like &$#%#&@!. He could probably get 10mil a year.
The Heat should stick to older 5's who are disciplined, or hope for a steal in the draft.
i think they can get by with anthony. hes a shot blocker who rebounds. doesnt score much but neither did big ben wallace. all he needs to do is defend the paint like wallace or kendrick perkins because they have enough scorers in james,wade,bosh,haslem,miller.
Its Already LeBrons team. I said that after watching the training camp. He'll never admit to it, but he is by far the most talented player in the league, let alone the Heat. Politically speaking, its Wade-County blah blah but LeBron is the man on the team.
I think he wins his 3rd straight MVP. Not basing this on a meaningless pre-season game. The Heat will probably have the best record and Lebron will average a very near triple double average.
One thing ive noticed is that this is very competitive. Ive seen Wade, Prince and Jerebko looking fairly hurt. They should slow down and shake off the rest and remember this is just preseason. Detroit looks pretty good and like a sleeper, and Miami looks very very unorganized they have alot of work to do.
Bosh and James look real good together thou.
