I am going to try and show how we could beat a healthy Heat team. I am not saying we would automatically win but I am saying I am not on the side that a healthy Heat team should be the foregone favorites in the East. Refer back to the 2004 finals. (04 Lakers to 07 Heat) I don't see much of a talent differance between the team teams, yes the heat have a few more role players then the Lakers did but I am not here to worry about role players and I think Shaq was much and Kobe scares me more then Wade. Back to my original point, how do you beat Shaq/Wade: You double team Wade and do not put a center on the floor. Webber, Dice, a little Mad Max at center. If Dale Davis is on the court this doesn't work. My game plan then is very simple, I hedge all my bets that Shaq will get tired and/or in foul trouble guarding guys in the high post rather then Dale Davis in the block. I wouldn't say this is fool proof but I do think Wade could be evened out if we were able to put Prince on him and anytime he touched the ball hedge a 2nd man over on him. I let Shaq beat me and not Wade. I think their is a much greater chance to Shaq fail carrying a team then letting Wade be open all series long. Just my two cents
