Eddie House, Heat Agree to 2 Years, $2.8M

If the lakers become that tough defensive team similar to 08 Celtics plus their great offense then I don’t even think Miami stands a chance. Miami has not one shut down defender on their team inside or out. Rebounding and defense will determine the winner.

Barnes and Miller are equal. Barnes good on D, good 3pt shooter. Miller great 3 pt shooter, sucks on D.

*way better than Barnes

Well I have bigger issues. A girl I just started dating is a huge Heat fan prior to Lebron signing but now her love for the Heat is astronomical. So we debate all the time which team is better.

Kap’s girl is smarter than him at basketball….he should leave SLAM forever….now!

The Heat have no answer for Caracter or Ebanks…lol

This is bigger than USSR vs. USA…

Chalmers = Fisher
sorry.

All of these greater than/lesser than comparisons are horribly executed.

I think that the gap between Wade/Bosh compared to Gasol/Kobe is fairly miniscule, if not non-existent. And, after you consider those two, you have to then contemplate Lebron. That’s the elephant in the room. Even if Kobe and Pau cancel out Bosh and Wade, who the hell cancels out Lebron.
And if say Artest, you need to be smacked. Can you imagine all the energy Kobe has to know expend since he can’t rest on defense? It will be even more crucial that he does not go into “jack-a-shot” mode.

Allen’s 2:31p comment should be plastered on every dopey message board that discusses sports across the internets.

Wade is just as good as kobe expect he’s younger, more athletic, and too quick for the old pervert. Artest can’t stay with bron even with road runner’s legs and people are underestimating what bosh brings to the table. People are going to be so worried about stopping bron/wade that bosh becomes like diabetes- the SILENT KILLER.

I like where JTaylor’s head’s at. No homo.

Man, the X-factor in all of this is Chalmers, if he chokes, he will force D-Wade or House to be point guards. And we all saw when D-Wade was point guard in Miami, he had like 5 turnovers a game, and House can’t even dribble two steps.

You can’t dedicate Bynum/fisher/Artest to Lebron. They still have other players to account for on the court, particularly if Fast Eddie in the game. I watched dude for the Celtics and the Knicks, that is one cat you do not want to give good clean looks to. He gets hot way too fast man.
Don’t forget about Mike Miller and Haslem either.
Honestly, the Heat have a fairly good bench for the NBA. Yeah, they are small, but given their top three, they have a good set of shooters and hustle players.
Seriously, when I look at Lebron’s bench and teammates in Cleveland, compared to his bench and teammates in Miami, I”m not seeing a huge drop off. And not he gets to play with WADE and BOSH.
Come on people. I mean, it’s all talk now, but you have to give Riley props for an exceptional job. those players are feeling very confident right now.

@Sparker, that’s the point. People are going to be less focused on him. thereby giving him countless one on one opportunites. People forget that he was the best big man in the olympics not DHOW. I know that it’s against lesser comp, but dude is a better player than people are giving him credit for. It’s funny that the same people that now call him overrated, are the same people that where pleading for him to go to their team just a month ago. They know who I’m talking bout- fruity land fans aka GayLA

Good point Jukai on the four point guards

Agree that Blake and Chalmers is about a wash. But Fisher is better than House, they are about equals on O but Fish is a stud on D and always draws important charges. While House on D is about as usefull as Chris Mullin in a tanning-contest. A whole other issue though; LA sure has the size advantage but that could be seriously damaged by foul trouble and as both Bynum and Odom are prone to fouls, the size advantage could easily be negated. In a Finals series LeBron and Wade are going to draw multiple fouls on those two players as well as Kobe, Artest and Fisher. We already saw all of those players getting in foul trouble against Boston’s creaky old veterans, with Gasol the only one staying out of it. How do you guys feel it will be against the Heat’s young athletic studs, I on my part really think that the aforementioned Lakers players are going to be sitting a great deal (or be on the floor less aggressive) because of Wade and LeBron’s ability to get by their man and into the paint (all of this is off course based on that the Heat and LA meet up in the Finals, but that seems to be the consensus around here). Thoughts?

Watch the video of the 97 Bulls – I’d take Bron, Wade an Bosh with their team of “scrubs” over Mike, Scottie an Dennis an their “remarkably white for a championship team scrubs”. The league is in trouble this year, believe

Wow!!! Eboy is almost as annoying as he accused laker fans of being! it would have really been cool if he were really a Heat fan and not a poser! Too bad he’s just a bandwagon Heat fan who chose them just so he could try to be annoying and talk crap to Laker fans!!! I mean, is it a coincedence that the team is rooting for just happens to be the only team with a legitimate chance at beating the Lakers? What a loser!!!

Wow! great pick-up! didn’t see this one coming. thought he was coming back to boston.

JTaylor,
I’ll remember what you said and I’ll remind you later when the Heat lose to the lakers twice this season! Don’t worry about the finals ’cause they won’t meet in the finals. The Lakers will be there…

@ Eboy: What do have in store for us? Are you gonna kill yourself and do us all a favor?

tell me, tell me, tell me!!
