With the "Big 3" on one team, obviously cuts in their stats are going to happen because they have to co-exist. Who takes the biggest cut?
Easily Bosh... You ever notice how in All-Star games the guards/perimeter players always have the best stats? Why is that? They have the ball and they ain't giving it up. Bosh will barely even see the ball.
i think lebron plays a pg role there. facilitating the offense for the other 2. he probably takes the biggest hit to PPG, but may average around 10 assists. seeing how depleted their roster is, i can imagine that wade still scores 25 and the other 2 get over 20 a night.
Bosh. I think James' scoring will take a noticeable dip, but with the amount of minutes he's gonna have to play with the lack of depth, I could see him potentially edging close to a triple double this year. And if he does manage to average a triple double, watch how fast the media and fans will turn right back around and begin slobbing all over his knob again.
Bosh... would've chose LeBron but because LeBron is a stat-padder, he'll figure out a way to get his numbers regardless of it looking like he's sacrificing his game.
This. Personally I don't see anyone other than LeBron seriously challenging Durant. Now, with his touches per game in question, unless he quickly jumps his FG% to 60%, Durant will consistently take this title. tm
scoring wise. everyone will probably be a couple point down. however. field goal % and assists definitely go up and less turnovers.
lebron and wade just may average 55% fg since who are you going to freaking guard? they can just roll their way into the paint with ease if they just run the pick and roll w/ bosh. or hell, a wade-lebron pick and roll. their problem will be size: hence they'll struggle with the boards and potentially interior defense. but here are the stats i predict: lebron: triple double (20+, 10, 10+) wade: 20+, 5, 6 bosh: 20+, 10+ remember the fg% of both lebron and wade in the olympics. it won't be that high b/c NBA defense is better, but it will be over 50%.
