As I read many of these posts and observations by Jazz fanzs I've come to the realization that most, not all, but most of you are as brain dead as the Heat! First off, many of you have bought into hook, line and sinker....that basketball games are won by individuals and not TEAMS! You constantly go out of your way to remedy the Heats ills by wanting to "post up" James every possession, have him take more shots, post up Wade, have him take more shots, etc. etc. etc! Then there's this pathetic "excuse" that the media has put out there and has also been bought by Jazz fanzs that "Wade is not 100%" or he's hurt but not letting on, etc. etc. etc. But then when he has a great game, shoots well, flies around like a chicken with his head cut off, he's as spry as a Spring chicken! Look, nothings wrong with Wade....other than he's getting older, loosing some of his skills and hops and just doesn't always play smart basketball! Hey, I like him (he's tattoo-less!) but he's not really that top notch of a ball player anymore, if he ever was! Plus, the Heat just don't have a reliable offensive "system" other than hope there athletic ability trumps that of the other team! The way I see it, and the way all of you true Jazz fanzs should see it is this: If the Heat played the Spurs 100 seven game series'......they wouldn't win 1 series! They might win a game or two, but not a 7 game series!

Their main sets can be isolations w/ James but that doesn't mean he has to win individually. When he draws an extra defender he simply passes and then everyone else is involved. It's a pretty simple concept. He just initiates all the plays, you know, like Tony Parker does for the Spurs.
And though I'm a "True JazzFan", the way I see it is that the Heat will still win the series.

I voted for the Heat AFTER the game last night. Either way, I think the series goes seven.

I say Spurs in 6, possibly 5. Remember that the finals format is 2-3-2 not 2-2-1-1-1. It may never come back to Miami after game 2.

well, I said injuries aside....
I doubt that Wade, Allen, Miller or Ginobli would last anywhere NEAR a 100 series. Duncun might tho.

It was just hyperbole that illustrates that the contrasting styles are so diametrically opposite of what real basketball execution is all about that IF they DID play 100 series......it's doubtful the Heat would win even 1 of them! When you are a well oiled machine up against a group of guys that are slinging oil all over the place, you gonna get beat profusely!

The way the Spurs use Parker is actually completely different than the way the Heat use Lebron! The Spurs, first of all, trust ALL the players on the court at any particular time to take the shot! Although Lebron would like to do that also, he doesn't/can't and usually set up for just Wade, Bosh or possibly Allen. No real plays are run by the Heat, not so with the Spurs. The Heat will not win this series unless Parker gets hurt or Popovich keels over!

Obviously dude, this is my suggestion of what they should do, not what they are currently doing. Their half-court offense leaves much to he desired. However, I still think they'll take the series.

.....to do what you suggest would basically mean starting all over and revamping their entire offensive system! Not going to happen. They are who we thought they were......and the Spurs are going to sweep these clowns!

It's not like the Heat currently have much of an offensive system at this point. Absolutely no way the Spurs sweep, and I doubt they win the series.

Maybe he doesn't, but I disagree that he can't. Seems to me that the Heat always have 5 guys on the floor that can hit a shot. Probably their weakest link is Birdman, and he shot like 95% last series, so.... I'm nitpicking you on this point.
