I dont know how many folks think this may be a viable option...but what if Miami used Bosh to match up with KD...Perkins and Haslem can go at it...and then have Lebron check Ibaka...Bosh has the length to really disrupt KD...that block on Kevin by Bosh down the stretch had me thinking... Miami won by having the younger thunder make mistakes and playing solid D down the stretch...Wade almost cost them the game...Thabo picking his pocket in the backcourt was just nasty...but I really can see the Thunder doing well tom night...looking to the series being tied 2-2 tom night...
I thought you were saying "way to defend, Kevin Durant" as in "good job, good effort." Decent idea, but KD may be a little quick. Would help on jumpshots, but KD's release is so fast.
durant was 2/6 in the 4th with lebron on him. you can't stop durant just hope to slow him down. the heat should focus on westbrook and harden more than stopping durant
By using Bosh on Durant...you can effectively use a Lebron to guard a westbrook and then have Wade switch over to harden...Have battier and Haslem play the PF and C position...right now Chalmers isnt really giving much...
This. thats all there is to it really. When he drove in the lane at the end of the game yesterday, it worked effectively for Miami as there was pressure from battier and bosh who ended up either blocking his shot or drawing a charge.
Bosh would get burned. He is too slow. Lebron did fine on him, great in the 4th quarter. Which reminds me... Chandler Parsons did really well against him :grin: The bigger and taller SF's are the best defensive option against him.
actually i just felt that Kevin had make-able shots that he missed...he was able to isolate James at the top and was able to get past him...just purely on strides...James was lucky to have effectively interior help...or more people might have mentioned this...
KD better do a better job in the fourth I tell you dat! I wont be able to hanlde LBJ holding up the trophy... Pisses me off every time they win because its a game closer to the trophy and his ring...
this seems to be his worst game...2/6...in the fourth... Secondly...the refs are effectively removing Durant from the equations...4 fouls on a superstar wing half way thru the 3rd quarter??? unheard of...
Dont worry...Lebron is clearly due for a clunker...I expect the Thunder to roll...game 4.. Mia wins game 5 and Thunder wins 6 and 7...destroying Miami's team(Spo gets fired, Bosh gets traded)
durant is removing himself. kd has to be smarter. (not trying to draw a charge, not jumping on wade's pump fakes, not fouling in transition) when lebron was in foul trouble in game 2 he got out of the way whenever westbrook went at him so the refs couldn't even try to call him for a foul.
Agreed...but its scary...he is still only freaking 23 yo...if he can win this year...we are talking about the next dynasty...
big predictions there buddy. I can guarantee that there will not be a blowout in game 4, they are too evenly matched.
I keep thinking that...and then...look at the whooping they put on the Spurs...They beat the spurs 4 straight times...that is really a hard feat to do...
