NixLuva you are completely right about TEAM DEF and the OFF because it leads to fast break points.
You are the complete optimist and always look for the positives but you deny all the neagtives of the team as well.

If Bibby were still a Knick, you would still praise him for what he could bring to the team, in fact I believe you did praise the signing of Bibby last year.
There were very few people here in the forum that wanted Dantoni to play Lin before Linsanity occurred, because it was obvoius to us we need a PG that could penetrate to initiate the offense, yet you stood by Dantoni and his decision to stick with Iman, TD, Bibby, loss after loss.

You keep braising the DEF of the team, but you fail to give me an answer on the bodies we have to use against Lebron.
I am asking for a body or 2 that would match up with the athletic 3/4's better.
JR Smith and Fields were both killed by DWADE, so it is obvious JR SMITH has no shot with Lebron, yet you continue to praise his inabilities.
And Tyson was behind him helping as well, you continue to deny that we do not have a body to match up with Lebron.
Again, Brewer was used to defend Wade on the Bulls not Lebron.

Dallas have Marion at the very least and lets not forget that The Heat have added Battier and have improved much since the Dallas beat the Heat.
They put 5 shooters on the floor, to not allow help defense, and punnish opponents for helping.

It is a legit concern that managment and fans here continue to deny.
To have a shot vs the Heat, we have to make it much harder for Wade and Lebron to post up, penetrate and finish, and facilitate their team mates with wide open shots.
If we do not even have a body to defend Rudy Gay, we have no shot in trying to defend Wade/Lebron together.

We need a Kawaii Leanord/James Johnson/Paul George/ type of defender on Lebron.
With JR Smith, if Iman is healthy, with Felton/Kidd/Brewer/Iman that is more than sufficient at the PG/SG positions, it makes JR expendable.
While Leanord and Paul George, we have no shot in getting that type of player, I am askng for a bigger body like James Johnson/Brandon Rush.
We do not even a body that is similar to Pietrus/Barnes, which I consider 3rd options that should be used against a body on these skilled forwards with range, athleticism, and guard skills.
Even a body like Thabo Sefolosha, which I think is too small to defend Lebron/Durant/Gay, better suited for Wade.
I agree we have the bodies that can match up with Wade, but not Lebron, Brewer should be defending Wade and his ability to post up.
If we move him to defend Lebron, The Heat have 2 players that can post us up, initiate the offense, and dominate our defense.

This is a legit concern to answer if we are going to contend for a ring this year.
I have given multiple teams that have stocked up with these type of players that could be used on these forwards that many on the board put our DEF ahead of, yet we do not have 1 body.

My bad for not looking threw the 500 words for every single player. I'll take that blame.

If Bibby were still a Knick, you would still praise him for what he could bring to the team, in fact I believe you did praise the signing of Bibby last year.
