    And that is where you fail. I already explained why lebron is a 4. He's bigger, stronger, faste, and more athletic than every 4 in the league. What you are failing to understand is lebron is a big. He's the most unique big to ever play this game besides Magic Johnson. He's a 4 because he plays the 4 in many of their lineups. Watch their games and see who he is playing with.

    I guess those guys who said they don't care about the result but how hard the team fought will be satisfied.

    DMo is playing well and so is Jones both inconsistent, but looks like they are both now IN the rotation.

    Those are the same people that want to give all the losers trophies so that the kids can feel good about themselves.

    Yeah, they're playing well and we're consistently losing games to teams over .500.

    Lebron is the 3. Because they have garbage at the center is the reason he plays 4. I dunno why u use miami as an example when anyone with the brain of a 3 yr old know why it works 4 miami. You can put any lineup you want when lebron james is on your team. No team in the nba matches up with lbj at the 4. There is a reason the dude about to win his 5th mvp. Lbj,bosh,anderson > perkins,ibaka,durant,duncan,leonard,splitter, and every other combo any team you throw out.

    There isn't a forward combo in the nba that can trump lbj at the 3 or 4. If the rockets were to magically get love,its not any different. He can guard any position and no one can guard him. With love,howard,?, if miami went small,its a disadvantage for the rockets also. The best way to beat miami is to have advantages at other spots like center or pg.

    (I'm laughing at your 'best way to beat miami' rhetoric)

    Yep, because we have no leadership on the floor or on the bench.

    exactly like you said fine leaders for the 5th spot/6th spot. But yeah that is a contender for you. What holding them back is Terrence right?

    I guess we are having this conversation for the rest of the year. Time for you to catch some rest. Winter is still coming.

    They would've been a lot more consistent if they received more playing time last year and earlier this year.

    Yet another huge fail by McHale. This team could be a lot better with a reliable TJones/DMo

    Where is Basketballholic,lol. How many 4th-5th options score 36 and grab 11 bounds? I'm going to personally keep this thread going like a marathon.
