I do see where your coming from. But as far as comparing these two teams.. It's hard to do because one is elite defensively, and one definetly is not even close.
and that's why we need to continue adding tough, athletic, defensive minded players, IMO. though our defense is improved this season, it's hard when you've got Bosh and AB anchoring your defense. As good as Andrea's defense is for a second year big man, he has to get a LOT better.

the point is that it's not about having stars at every position, it's about playing great team defense and hitting shots. hey, we're not there yet. i know that. we're a lot better off than plenty of teams out there though, even ones that have a star player on the wing.
