Hache Man
I know you know the game well and have had 4 straight outstanding seasons, but I also know that when it comes to the playoffs, a team must have 8 or possibly 9 solid contributors to win a Championship. You can't look at it that Cleveland won 61 games with Lebron and nobody because that just wasn't the case. Agree that the combination of James, Wade and Bosh sounds good but we are talking about a 2 guard and two forwards. No question of the talent but you win with a full team, depth, defense and height. The starting 5 for the Celtics is very tough with the bench to back them up. The Heat come up short in their top 8 or 9. It won't be a cake walk for any team in the East IMHO.
Well I was exagerrating some of course Ted, but what I'm saying is they aren't going to need much more.
I'm a Magic fan and in my heart I would love to say they stand a chance against this new power, but in my mind, I know they don't. And I just don't think Boston will have enough left, and also feel the the Celtics are one of the main reasons LeBron, Wade, and Bosh came together on this and probably all said they were tired of Pierce, Garnett, and Allen (now Rodo too) ruling the East & decided they were going to put a stop to it and form their own big 3.
Those 3 are just goint to be too much.
