Miami's offensive efficiency

[QUOTE=red1]chalmers one of the best three-point shooters in the league[/QUOTE]
no

[QUOTE=Droid101]2nd in offensive efficiency... (barely ahead of the Clippers)

Yet 24th in defensive efficiency.

So, Heat fans, what wins championships? Offense, defense, or how hard you homer for your team?[/QUOTE]

Their defense can be fixed by effort.. Offense is something you can't just make happen. Better for them to be struggling defensively than offensively

It's true. Miami's defense has looked like sh*t before and then they suddenly turned it up a notch. I guess they will be doing the same thing once it really matters.
Of course they still get outrebounded in most of the games, that's one thing that will never change with this line-up.
Right now it looks like coach Spo is trying out some stuff and therefore changing his rotations a lot.

Exactly. People need to realize the Heat only played hard for two stretches last season. The first was the 10 or so games where their win streak had gotten interesting. The second was the conference & NBA finals.

The rest of the games were about experimenting & staying healthy.

It's the Popovich model and it works.

[QUOTE=scm5]Yes, this team is truly scary. [B]They just need to improve their defense and rebounding.[/B][/QUOTE]
Which they will once they start really giving a shit...in the playoffs.

Their defense will improve, not too sure about their rebounding. It's not like they have poor rebounders either. Bosh was averaging 10 rpg in Toronto and Lebron is one of the best rebounders at his position.

Last postseason, one of the biggest reasons they lost games was their rebounding. Ironically, they won the biggest game of the post season thanks to a clutch rebound by Bosh.
