Let's get it on. Of course I expect the Heat to win by 20.

The game has changed into ballhog basketball. That's BS that Jordan didn't defend good players and that Clyde Drexler is the only name you bring up. Jordan played in the 80's too, which was a guard/small forward era. And he was an elite defender in that era too. You have pure scorers like Magic, Isiah, Nique, Alex English, Bernard King, Moncrief, Dantley, Gervin, Mark Aguirre. And in the 90s, you have plenty of electric players he guarded like Reggie Miller, Iverson, Grant Hill, Dumars, Starks, Mitch Richmond, Glenn Rice, Penny Hardaway. And in the old era, you had to be not only a terrific on-the-ball defender, but phenomenal at off-the-ball defense because offenses in the 80's and 90's moved the ball a lot. There are some players on that list who could have been even more elite, if they were shooting 50% of the shots like players often do today. Jordan would still be an elite defensive player in the 90's. Probably even better, since his forte was on-the-ball defense. |

I'm thinking the new style point Guards are too fast and quick for their own good. They are dropping like flies.

We do seem to do better when Rondo is out. Hero mentality or whatever. He seemed more worried about getting triple doubles than winning lately. Maybe this will ignite a spark or something
