    kinda getting impatient with the howard/bynum stuff. thought i'd go back...

    so how does our 94 champs matchup against 2012 heat? yes, diff eras and some diff rules, but fun to compare.

    dream, thorpe, horry, maxwell, & smith vs king james, battier, bosh, chalmers, & wade (finals lineup)

    our bigs overpower heat. turiaf or bosh on dream would be a complete mismatchup. bosh/turiag making dream come out of the paint would be a smart thing for the heat (think seattle perkins). thorpe wipes out the boards.

    but james poses a lot of problems as well. not sure how a young horry could matchup out in the open court with bron and ellie might be a better defender. our bigs would def play a role in help defense when bron goes to the hoop.

    i think mad max in his prime, talkin smack, would give wade problems. till this day, i believe he's was the best defender on mj.

    bullard, ellie, cassell, and herrera were great in their roles coming off the bench and would be deeper than miami's bench...rockets in 6. i'm biased.
