Contender Preview: Miami Heat

Today we wrap up our Contender Previews, in which we look at challengers to the Lakers' throne in the upcoming season. Up today we have.... ugh.
All right, guys. I'm no more thrilled about this than you are, but we knew this conversation was coming. It's time to talk about the Miami Heat.
There's no need to rehash their offseason. If you've been alive and paying even the slightest attention to the basketball world, you're familiar with every detail - from the Chris Bosh announcement, to "The Decision," to Dan Gilbert's Comic Sans letter, to Pat Riley's signing of various bits and pieces to fill in the roster. In the history of sports, never have so many pixels been spilled over a team that hasn't actually played a game that counts.
A part of me would love to ignore this entire odious crew until they visit Staples Center on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, we as Laker fans don't have that luxury. Throughout the season ahead, and in all likelihood for a few seasons to come, the Lakers and Heat and will be linked in a state of opposition. Every move that one team makes, and every game that they play, will bear on the fortunes of the other. Both franchises are mobilizing huge resources toward the goal of winning an NBA championship, and there's only one of those to go around in any given year. Today's version of the Lakers exists for the sole purpose of completing a three-peat, and although the Heat aren't the only obstacle in the way, they're pretty clearly the most formidable.
The Heat will begin the season at less than full strength. Not that Laker fans stewing over Andrew Bynum's near-constant health issues should feel any sympathy, but Dwayne Wade has been out since their preseason opener with a hamstring injury, and on Wednesday Mike Miller hurt the thumb on his shooting hand. Wade will be back soon, but Miller could be out a couple months. That shouldn't really be such a big deal in terms of integrating everyone. Miller's job is to hit open outside shots, so if his thumb doesn't suffer any long-term effects and he remembers where to find the three-point line when he's back on the court, he'll be easy enough to plug back in.
Anyhow, why are we talking about Mike Miller? What's important is how Bosh, Wade and LeBron James - who without question comprise a historically awesome collection of frontline talent - will function on the floor together. No one really knows yet, because the three played with each other for about 12 seconds before Wade got hurt. What seems likely, though, is that LeBron will serve as the de facto point guard most of the time he's in the game. There's no point pretending that he'll be less than fantastic in that role. LeBron has terrific floor vision and passing touch and he's a beast to stop when driving into the lane. Defenses could focus on him almost exclusively when he was in Cleveland. Now that he's got some All-Star teammates alongside him, he'll enjoy a freedom of movement that he never imagined.
Wade, who himself has played at an MVP level the past two seasons, I suspect will be off the ball when paired with LeBron and then slide over to the point when LeBron's on the bench. Bosh, for his part, won't get nearly the touches he did in Toronto but should flourish with so much defensive attention given to his two costars. It really is staggering to think that at any given moment at least one of LeBron, Wade and Bosh will be on the floor, and most of the time at least two of them will be.
Things start to look a bit shakier for the Heat as you scroll down the roster. The cap situation forced Riles to stock up on low-cost (read: old) vets whose skillsets range from "meh" all the way down to "Juwan Howard." Miller is a respectable fourth option, but who knows when he'll be back? Mario Chalmers regressed last year after a promising rookie season. Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Udonis Haslem and Eddie House all have their uses, but age-wise they're all on the unhappy side of 30. They won't stop Miami from winning 65 games in the regular season, but come the late playoff rounds, at some point one or more of them will be called on to make a crucial play.
I'm also not totally sold on the Miami defense. Basketball Prospectus (whose season preview book I encourage you to pick up) predicts that Miami will lead the league in defensive efficiency this year. That's based on Eric Spoelstra's strong track record of coaching defense - the Heat were fourth in the league last season - plus, of course, the addition of a superelite defender in James. I get that, but at the same time I see vulnerabilities in the middle. How do the Heat plan to solve Dwight Howard or a Pau Gasol-Andrew Bynum-Lamar Odom combo attack?
These issues aside, it's hard not to look ahead to next June and imagine how a Lakers-Heat Finals would unfold. If you set out to construct a roster to defeat this Miami team, the Lakers are pretty close to what you'd wish for. They have top perimeter defenders in Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest, tall and athletic power forwards to guard Bosh in Gasol and Odom and (health permitting) a big, offensively skilled center in Andrew Bynum that Miami can't really match. Miami's core talent is younger and thus a better bet to reach the Finals in full health. Absent significant injuries on either side, though, I'd still give the edge to the defending champs.

Id probably get alot more satisfaction this season,
when the Cavs beat the Heat in the 1st round of playoffs
and
the Lakers sweep the Celtics in the NBA Finals to settle the score once and or all.

agree. I would rather see the Celtics in the Finals this year
because it would be much satisfaction to defeat shaq in the finals now that he’s stooped to go to the celtics.
the heat can wait till next year.

You're not thrilled to talk about the Miami Heat?!
What about me?! What about the people who actually used to treat LePew like a hero?
I mean, what the hell is up with the Heat index? Why them? How come the Cavs never had one? Why can’t ESPN just make a ESPNMiami.com and be done? Why be this blatant? And why show a Heat PRESEASON GAME on TNT? When will enough be enough?

I'm with you on the Heat Index
it has continued to shock me how ESPN has treated the whole LeBron situation all summer, and for Windhorst to follow LeBron like that is pretty shocking from a jornalistic standpoint.
It's hard out there for a pimp.

they’re doing an entire special on “Lebron James’ Image” on ESPN to “examine the impact of race on Lebron’s image.” Completely ridiculous. I mean give me a break. They ride Lebron harder than Skip Bayless rides Jordan and thats hard to believe because Skip Bayless thinks Jordan could walk on water, throw lightning bolts, and have children with just a thought.

Didn’t Gil have Horatio Caine’s pic as his profile pic for the longest time? Yeah, I remember when I first joined SSR I noticed that and since I obviously didn’t have a feel for what anybody’s personality was or have a chance to actually see anyone’s pic I just naturally imagined that he actually looked and acted like that in real life. Yep, to this day Gil = Horatio Caine for me. So funny.

I don’t think it’s a matter of how the queen and friends will do. It’s a matter of how the rest of the guys will do. They added some nice pieces and got lucky a few came back(haslem). But, they have no big big. Unless the magic, c’s, or lakers sustain injuries, the heat won’t be doing much. They’ll need some ‘magic’ defensive formula for that team to do well defensively. The queen really isn’t that great of a defender. Don’t be fooled by all of his highlight reel blocks. He’s just another iverson, but bigger, so slightly better, on defense, but never has been great defensively.

South Beachers!
I hope the Lakers give these guys a kick in their fucking asses this year.
If the Lakers are going to have success against these guys, Andrew Bynum is the big key. He needs to be healthy and strong and ready to go. Miami has no good center, and Bynum could be a huge factor because of that. It would also push Odom back to the bench and strengthen the bench as well.
Go Lakers! Four days away.

Kobe the shooting coach
Anyone else notice the trend of offensively challenged players re-defining their career as a Laker? It’s one thing to have the spotlight that comes with playing as a Laker, but it’s another thing to learn from a true leader like Kobe Bryant.
If you recall, Kobe spent the ‘08 summer working on Trevor Ariza’s shot and what happened after that? TA came through hitting almost 50% of his threes throughout the playoffs and the Lakers won a title. We’re seeing something similar now with Shannon Brown. Shannon came to the Lakers as nothing more than a potential garbage time highlight man and is now a borderline legitimate sixth or seventh man as a two guard because he is developing a decent outside game. Sure Shannon sometimes takes his Kobe impersonation a little too far, jacking up contested 20 footers, but we can all agree that Kobe has overall had a net positive influence on him.
I remember in one of the first training camp videos i saw this year, Ron Artest was asked about rookie Devin Ebanks. He said something along the lines of “he’s good…I’m sure once he works with Kobe he’ll be fine”. It intrigues me to learn that for all the greatness that is Kobe, there’s probably so much more he provides to his team that we as fans don’t even know about. So as Kobe gets on in years and he may not be what the talking heads will call a team mvp at face value, it’s nice to know as a real Laker fan that Kobe is, no matter what people say, the MVP of this team.

" Kobe on Shaq being a leader
improper floor cleaning is apparently the cause:
The NBA preseason exhibition game between the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic scheduled for tonight at the St. Pete Times Forum has been cancelled due to unsafe playing conditions.
The basketball court, assembled on top of the ice surface played on by the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, was deemed too slippery due to condensation forming on the surface. Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy voiced concerns about the situation earlier in the day when his team was unable to practice on the court. Arena staff attempted to fix the problem but some time around 6:30 p.m., NBA referees and officials determined that the court was not suitable and the game was cancelled. It wioll not be re-scheduled.

At first I didn't know what you were saying. But when I read this your comment I could not stop laughing
of you…in a maid costume
"That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. " Kobe on Shaq being a leader

sounds epic
A rivalry renewed and a hotly anticipated rematch two years in the making! The 2010 NBA Finals exceeded the hype as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics, the two most successful franchises in NBA history, picked up where they left off in 2008 when the Celtics defeated the Lakers to earn the title. The Lakers, led by 2010 Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, took the series to Game Seven and, down by 13 points in the third quarter, came back to repeat as champions in the most-watched NBA game in over a decade. Relive the dramatic setbacks, comebacks, and late-game heroics of this epic series. This definitive box set contains all seven games in their entirety, with exclusive bonus features that are your all-access pass to both teams on the court and in the locker room.
"Hopefully, they perceive me as a person who did whatever he had to do to win above all else. Above anything. Above stats." – Kobe Bryant
I never realize why people dislike Jim Hill so much, until I hear him call Devin Ebanks "Devin Ubanks/Eubanks".
That’s worse than Pow Kasal. At least that is just mispronunciation. “Devin Ubanks/Eubanks” is just the wrong name.

How do you do that?
I can understand saying “EhBanks”, but this?

Artest is a pleasure to watch
though he’s a bit loco , he’s a good model if you look at his good points , a guy like that because of his love for the game and he’s integrity has gotten that far , that is a good lesson for the next generation
