Joel Anthony is a joke. How does he play

KG destroyed him last year. Miami has no legit center. Boshtrich? lol. We were better than the Heat at two positions last year the 1 and the 5(KG being there).

Miami's specialty is small ball. You beat them with bigs down low but you need two of them. So they can use the mismatch for 48 minutes. But not only do these bigs need to play D and rebound and possibly block shots when LBJ and wade dribble drive they need to be able to score some down low also. However, if your bigs slow down dribble drives you also need good perimeter defense or else Battier, Miller, Allen and to a lesser extent Chalmers will make you pay when it is kicked out. That is what makes beating them so tough.
