Yup, there's no guarantees for a championship in this league. Anyone can go off for one game or multiple games in a playoff series.
But his moving around screens throughout the halfcourt will open things up for Lebron/Wade. Battier/Miller are stationary 3pt shooters so Lebron/Wade have to do a lot of the work. Ray can just run around and get open, and also can create off the dribble a little bit still. HUGE upgrade over Mike Miller, who only had a handful of impactful games in his 2-year tenure in Miami.
Totally agree. Zone was effective against Miami because of all the standing around 3/5 players did for Miami. Ray Allen gives a huge finger to zone defense.
Ray-Ray needs to come off picks and screens; whose shots does he take? He'd be a positive, but (yawn).
No. Injuries can happen especially with a bench of Miller-Battier-Allen. At their age injury proneness is pretty high. If anything they need to get rid of Jones. Absolutely worthless horrible off-ball mover and useless if shots aren't falling.
