All there is to it is defense. What made the Big 3 and Boston great was that everyone from the starting 5 to the bench became a quality defensive team. Boston also had a quality bench and supporting players who contributed (something the Heat have yet to assemble).  The Lakers are already a top team defensively and are good enough to play with the Heat's Big 3.   Bynum and LO will be very important players next season. Not allowing a layup line or a free throw parade by Wade and Lebron will be key to stopping this team. This means good team defense with solid rotations. What could make them a scary team will be their supporting players. Only time will tell. I am looking forward to next season.
