How much did Maffehy and Martin pay for him :lol:

I think people fail to remember how good that team was. This team was 1 bad quarter versus the bulls in 98 and a 4 pt play in 1999 away from 3 straight finals appearances.

They would have won the 1999 championship had that 4 pt play not happen

Bird :

5 Finals Appearances
3 MVPS
2 Finals MVPs
3 Championships
3-2 in the finals

Lebron:

4 Finals Appearances
4 MVPS
2 Finals MVPs
2 Championships
2-2 in the finals


Bron is another MVP or another finals MVP away IMO

But they get open because they have to trap Parker because cole and chalmers can't defend him. And when they do go one on one, he gets so deep in them, that the dish from the paint is a wide open shot for the "others" because the whole d has been sucked in.

if bron and wade made Parker shoot jumpers the whole game and stopped Parker's penetration, Allen, miller, battier, etc wouldn't get sucked into the paint as much and could stay home with the shooters

He should have demanded that one of them guard Parker.

Why can't bron and wade do the same?

They are in the hole they are in because they won't man up and defend player for the whole game.

Cole and chalmers can't guard him

Haslem isn't shooting though and offers no rim protection. At least birdman is scoring in the paint

Too late to hope for that in an elimination game

Cole and Chalmers are offering them nothing right now. They have gotten torched the last 3 games and for the whole series. They can't guard anyone on the court and don't offer anything on offense.

I'd bench them, and play birdman over Haslem. Haslem doesn't offer anything right now eithe

Neither squad. The heat aren't getting rewarded for being aggressive

:lol:
