Paul Millsap = Michael Jordan?

Anyone that doubted Paul Millsap's skills did not know basketball. That is why signing Boozer should not have been a priority at all for the Jazz's front office.

Jefferson/starting minutes Millsap > Boozer by a longshot.

Wiz Kids look like kids. Wall is impressive, but turns the ball over a bit too much. He is going to be great though, that is undeniable.

Anyone still think that the heat will break my bulls record.

Azale · Nov 11, 2010, 10:10 PM

Not if they have to play the Celtics anymore this season.

shadowplay · Nov 11, 2010, 11:10 PM

Chris Bosh can't play defense to save his life.

Fallen Angel Lord · Nov 11, 2010, 11:41 PM

I don't get it, I mean, why are you starting arroyo? Start Chalmers.

Correct. And while he was on a team full of complete defensive disasters in Toronto it didn't stick out so much as it does now. Most of the Heat players are actually decent defenders, which means Bosh is now a defensive liability for his team...

Fallen Angel Lord · Nov 13, 2010, 04:55 PM

My analysis of the heat so far:

Carlos arroyo should not start on an NBA team
Not having Mike Miller hurts
LBJ and Wade are too turn-over prone
Chris Bosh can't defend a lamp-post

Well, if it was anyone I'd want my C's to lose against, it'd definitely be the Cavs.

also, best record in the East like I predicted.

Heat's problems:

They're starting Carlos Arroyo and Joel Anthony
Mike Miller is injured and because of it they have to start Carlos Arroyo
LeBron and Wade are essentially the same player
Bosh sucks now
They have nobody special besides the Big Three
House is the only decent bench player
They fail in the paint
Meh coaching

Zack · Nov 13, 2010, 09:01 PM

Why is Arroyo starting over Chalmers?

downtown · Nov 13, 2010, 09:31 PM

Because Chalmers is stupid. He isn't careful with the ball, and apparently, he's been immature in the locker room. Quite frankly, it doesn't *really* matter who plays PG on offense, since the Heat don't need (or can't have ) their point be the main facilitator. Wade and Bron require the ball too much. It's too bad they couldn't lure Steve Blake over, he'd be perfect for that team.

The Heat have the following problems:
* Depth, particularly in the frontcourt. They are old as hell and slow. Lord help this team if Bosh ever gets hurt. Anthony and Haslem aren't bad rebounders actually, but aren't great scorers, and don't play exceptional defense. Z can't move or block shots anymore. He's basically a 7 foot, completely stationary Mike Miller.
* Interior Defense. Bosh can't guard anybody. Anthony is slow. Haslem is only one dude. Lebron needs to control the paint better defensively, since his help defenders blow.

I wouldn't be super concerned about turnovers yet...that should settle itself out as the team gets more experience playing together.

Lebron and Wade sure as hell aren't the same player...but I really don't think their talents properly complement each other. Lebron should be playing with Rose and Noah (and I'm a die hard Cavs fan)

Fallen Angel Lord · Nov 13, 2010, 10:22 PM

I never actually thought Bosh was that good. I mean all he did was get Toronto an 8th seed in the east every once in a while, not a great accomplishment.

shadowplay · Nov 14, 2010, 09:00 AM

To be fair he had bupkis to work with here.

Azale · Nov 14, 2010, 07:18 PM

So, San Antonio is about to go 8-1. Superbowl?

There are plenty of very good NBA players who aren't good enough to carry a bunch of stiffs. Bosh might have actually had a worse supporting cast than Lebron. Pao Gasol isn't good enough to carry a team. Kevin Garnett wasn't good enough to carry a team. Doesn't mean they aren't good.

It's going to be another crazy Southwest year with the Mavs, Hornets and Spurs.
Mavs are an elite defencive team so far.
