Boston schooling Miami. Lebron looks like Lebron Lite. He really missed out on playing in D'Antoni's fast pace offense.

...Go figure.

Added- just noticed that Lee is sitting out, courtesy of Wilson's tooth.

The team looks poorly constructed right now - I dont see how they cab pull it off without moving a piece but maybe I am wrong. Lebron/Wade need the ball all the time and Bosh is not a dominant big (he is good though). The supporting cast is where the real issues pop up. They have nobody but the big three. You can't win like that - see the Celtics/Lakers. Those teams are stacked from top to bottom. The Heat are paying 3 on 5.

They will win a lot of games but I doubt they will make a run at a championship this year. They certainly won't be winning 72 games and it looks like Lebron/Wade are going to have to eat their words about being scary good this year and ultra focused. I dont think they realized how focused the rest of the league would be on beating them.

But, I'm sure Dampier goes there before the season is over and someone will get bought out and join the heat. But they are in serious trouble, Chris Bosh is really soft. DLeee would have been a much better player down there for that team. They needed a pick and roll big man that doesn't clog the lane or need the ball.

What I love is that Riley was somehow shrewd enough to get the unholy trinity but then does this:

gives 30 year old Udonis Haslem 5 years 20.3 M. Yes He'll be 35 at the tail end of that.
gives Joel Anthony 5 years as well at 18.25 M. He logged an awesome line of 0 pts 0 reb 0 assists 0 steals 0 blocks in just under 8 minutes.

It gets even better. Even without Big Z and Eddie House, just between the 5 starters and Joel Anthony, the Heat's cap figure for 2012/2013 is $65M. Then $71 M the next season. Then $76 M the season after that. With 0 bench other than Joel Anthony.

Pray for a hard cap peoples...

Miami's problem is their is pretty much no movement on the offensive end. When they actually run offensive sets they look solid. Riley cant wait to take over I bet.
