Heat vs Pacers: Team play trumps star talent?

Miami and NYK might sell jerseys but the new CBA that cap management to bring in enough talent to fill most spots is working!

Pacers are up and coming along with ageing Spurs have added the right parts to balance veteran talent.

Riley had Showtime (LA) and Bullyball (NY) before Shaq fell in lap in 2005.

He now tried 1-2-3-'Money' but that has failed.

They could Amensty Bosh and add balance.

Or continue with a gimmick that hasn't even given a No.1!!

Balance > Imbalance

OKC is the perfect example of a balanced team

Westbrook at the PG, Harden at SG, KD at swingman, Ibaka/Perkins filling the big positions.

Heat right now have an inconsistent PG, and the worse center rotation in the league

Agree with Mick, Bosh is a solid player and does really step up on occasion. After getting smashed by KG in one game of last season's playoffs, he then returned the favour and that was it for the Celtics in that series (though if Wade hadn't taken out Rondo it might've been a different story).

Bosh isn't enough though. Miami's big thee just isn't an ideal combo. Either they need to replace Bosh with a truly dominant big man, or Wade with a gun outside shooter.

Tough for them to trade one of the big three though, since they are all supposed to be good friends. Would Lebron basically veto a trade of one of his sidekicks?

To be honest with you, the Heat have the best 3 starting guards in the league with Wade, LBJ and Chalmers.

But they are getting absolutely murdered in the paint. In the last game, the rebound count was 52-36 (+ 16 for Indy)

This Miami team has no frontline; Hibbert, West, George have been destroying them inside.

Even with Bosh in the lineup, they still struggled in the paint.
IMHO, the Heat would be better with a true center instead of Bosh.

They should look at off-loading Bosh in the off-season, and make a play for Bynum and some other handy forwards/guards.

or it's simply that Miami have an injured Chris Bosh....
