Who guards CP? I would guess the Heat go small, LeBron and Black take one another, and Chalmers hounds Paul, but that's a guess. | ||

I checked, and yes he was juuuust over 40% in 09-10, but mostly he's been mid 30's with some flux. Since the all-star break though he's 5/21 which is horrific, and a significant drop off from his usual. Don't think of Cp3 as a Josh Smith-esque 3point shooter but that's what he's been doing lately. | ||

Chris Andersen would probably do well vs Blake too. Both are pretty physical players, and Andersen definitely has the size to matchup with Griffin. | ||

He doesn't have the most impressive stats, but when I see him play, he usually takes good care of the ball and can be a pretty decent defender. He could definitely give CP3 some trouble if they met in the finals. Chris Andersen would probably do well vs Blake too. Both are pretty physical players, and Andersen definitely has the size to matchup with Griffin. I don't think it's size you have to worry about with Griffin, it's quickness. He's a great athlete, so I would bet LeBron would take him and they'd throw their big on Jordan. | ||

But he's only taken 20 3s. It's just not a big part of his game. He should be hitting more though. | ||

Nope, LeBron would spend very little time on Blake. If you look back at the Pacers/Heat series last year, LeBron absolutely hated having to guard West when the Heat went small. While Blake isn't as much of a bruiser as West is, LeBron would get worn down. And I wouldn't put Blake on LeBron either. | ||

I don't see much point in superstars defending other superstars. Superstars almost always beat their first defender, it's the quality of the help defense that matters. | ||

I guess that could work, and just have LeBron outscore him against Barnes (which seems like a decent strategy). | ||

Actually, now that Blake is #1 PF its possible. Having a great big is super valuable. | ||

They have no second rounders until 2018 Melo, for whom they still owe a first rounder this year and the rights to swap next year, could walk for nothing in free agency and they are so far over the cap it wouldn't even give them cap space. Raymond Felton and JR Smith have PLAYER OPTIONS in 2015-16 which means they are stuck with them for the next 3 years. They are paying Amare Stoudemire's Knees 23 million next season. Shump is not taking the next step and may even be getting worse due to the toxic environment. The only bright spot on the horizon is Tim Hardaway Jr being better than expected. Almost forgot, they traded 3 draft picks for 11 million dollars of this: ![[image loading]](http://nesncom.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/andrea-bargnani.gif?w=499&h=326) | ||
