    Stolen loosely from Pat Riley, the plan I see before me is GENIUS:

    Required reading:

    http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/mi...76/realizing-pat-rileys-vision-of-versatility

    Instead of five players, all listed at 6'8" like Riley/Spolestra ran out simultaneously (while resting Wade and Bosh), Morey wants to run out five players listed at 6'9". Let's call it the "And-1" strategy.

    Note the 'near parity' of our all 6'9" team of tweeners that can neither jump nor handle that has been assembled to take on Riley's defending champions:

    Battier, 6'8" vs. Parsons, 6'9"
    Haslem, 6'8" vs. Scola, 6'9"
    Jones, 6'8" vs. Morris, 6'9"
    Miller, 6'8" vs. Terrence Jones 6'9"
    LeBron, 6'8" vs. PPat 6'9"

    Our newly drafted "And-1" Bench: demonstrates the power to match-up with the Heat when they bring back 2 of their big 3 (Wade and Bosh) from a break in the action:

    Bosh, 6'11" vs DMo 7'0"
    Wade, 6'4" vs Lamb 6'5"

    :eek:

    So by being an inch taller, they each match up well with the defending champs?
