I think its going to help Donnie realize that we're going to have to go the big 3 route and get cp3. I'm pretty sure he's seeing how dominant the Heat look right now with their big 3 and that their only going to get better.
Don't confuse your personal feelings with Donnie's.
**** a big 3. I think what they help us realize is that we're gonna have to be able to play both sides of the ball if we have any shot at winning anything. Defense is just as if not more important as offense
Uh yeah.... but the HEAT shouldn't be credited with helping us realize this.
Our very own DFDH illustrated what these guy's with decades of experience should have already figured out.
What every non-casual fan knows...
Why do you think we here at KOL been arguing about MDA so long?
The Bulls and Miami are tied for 2nd in defensive scoring. We need to make to a commitment to that side like they do because to took theto the Conference Finals and Finals. But we need the that third guy to spread the defense because of Miami and Chicago. Because what they do is load up on one guy. and played 5 on 4 vs. Boston b/c of Rondo's inability to score.
With a guy like CP3 he can dissect any defenses. He just has no one to help him out.
What MIA does well is crowd the paint with help defenders, forcing you to take jumpers. If they go in (i.e. when we beat them & Chi) they lose, if not they win. Simple, yet effective. They also rotate well on the perimeter.
Beating them takes consistent ball movement (under pressure), and knocking down shots.
A guy like CP3 can dissect any defense, so can other guards. he can also stop you from affording quality interior help.
Everyone on this board needs to understand this: WE NEED EVERYTHING. We a sooooooo far from being anything like Miami.
However, we are the only team in the East that can get it done quickly. We're one star and 2 to 3 complimentary players away. We're a good coach away.
A lot of other teams are stuck where they are financially without any stars, some teams, franchises, and cities are just unattractive. The New York Knicks are sexy, and available.
Go Knicks
Nope, we don't need everything. We have a starting 1, 3 & 4. We arguably have a back-up 2 and 5.
As far as "being anything like MIA"...
who the f*ck is like MIA? Who want's to be like MIA? IDK?
I do know they can be beat. They have weaknesses. And if what you are saying we have the potential as some other teams do to compete with them, I agree. But it's about prioritizing based on a plan and strategy.
Walsh needs to decide, does he want to win or sell expensive tickets?
I think he want's to win. And to do that he knows our defense will have to improve by leaps and bounds.
