July 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) ESPN said they only avg 40 pts between the 3 of them in the olympics....yes i know it's the olympics but still Well consider the other guys on that team such as Kobe etc. Those 3, should average around 25PPG as a minimum (except for maybe Bosh) if they all ended up with Miami.

I would guess their averages are going to be lower than we think because they'd probably rest a lot during blowouts. The most recent example is the Celtics, where their big three combined for 105 minutes and 56 points. The Celtics had a few competent backups, so if I had to guess, I would put it at 110 minutes combined and 65-70 points. Edited July 8, 201015 yr by ZoomSlowik

The Celtics had a few competent backups, so if I had to guess, I would put it at 108 minutes combined and 65-70 points. And the key thing in your post there is blowouts. I don't see how this team can't win 65 games minimum with Lebron on their team, considering that's what he's done in Cleveland with a weak supporting cast.
July 8, 201015 yr Simmons: Only certainty tonight: LeBron's entourage shattering the record for "most black people ever in Greenwich at the same time."
July 8, 201015 yr I'm at the anyone but Miami stage here. I know the Bulls can go toe to toe with anything but that.

They need SOMEONE with some size as Bosh at center is less than ideal.
July 9, 201015 yr It's hilarious reading through NYKs Real GM forum. These fans are just dilusional at this point. If all anyone has to insist he's going somewhere aside from Cleveland or Miami is this concept of a "smokescreen for an M Knight twist on ESPN," you're just grasping for anything to prolong hope. I do not believe everyone, inclunding Reinsy or D'Antoni in New York, is in on it. Everyone is just looking for these small clues, when in reality, the writing lately has been all-Miami. We may be misled, but I don't think so; too many signs.
July 9, 201015 yr Im amazed people would hand the Heat the east before they see the final roster. Granted they dont have much time left but the Celtics are a very good team and they actually would match up with Miami very tightly. The Heat still dont have a big body and Bosh wont be able to handle KG at the 4. Boston plays great d also and have an emerging star in Rondo. It seems great on paper now but you are playing with fire banking on 3 players to win you games on their own for an entire season. It takes one injury to devastate that team.
July 9, 201015 yr So he's going to tell teams right before he goes on air. Riley is in Miami and not at the site of the decision.

I agree with you to an extent, but I think the bigger issue is who guards Rondo. Perkins stinks on offense and Garnett might be on one leg by the end of next season. He's also been more of a jump-shooter for a while now.

July 9, 201015 yr I hate LeBron so much, yet there's nothing more I want to know than where he's going right now. It's a love/hate thing.
July 9, 201015 yr Who knows, maybe Maverick Carter is telling reporters and the Heat the same bulls*** that WWW was telling the Bulls.

July 9, 201015 yr Funny thing is if Heat don't get James, their fans will probably view this offseason as a disappointment after the last 24 hours.

How is that different than any other team? The Lakers aren't winning a title if Gasol or Bryant go down, Magic with Howard, any of Rondo, Allen, Pierce or Garnett for the Celtics, the Bulls wouldn't be worth a damn without Rose, etc.
