Perkins is gone 'til Febuary; so I guess if JO can give some solid help until then, it's a cool move.
^LOL, how will Miami match-up? By blowing them out by 30 points with two of the best players in the league.

By blowing them out by 30 points with two of the best players in the league.What the last 3 finals have taught us is that it's all about match ups. In 2008, everyone had the Lakers beating the Celtics, but Doc Rivers exposed match ups and the Celtics beat the Lakers. In 2009, the Lakers had the match ups over the Magic. And in 2010, the two teams matched up even and it went 7 games. Now you have a Miami big three to challenge the Boston big 3 for the east. But unless they get big up front, look for a very physical Boston team to beat the Miami team. Big Baby, O'Neal, KG, Perkins, that's a huge front line. See 2008 when Gasol was out numbered by Boston, then look at 2011 when the same thing happens to Bosh. And don't act like Pierce and Rondo can't hang with Lebron and Rondo.
^LOL, but you don't match-up with LeBron & Wade.If you played the Cavs in the Finals, you would have double teamed Bron; if you played the Heat (somehow), you would of double teamed Wade.You can't double team both of them at the same time; or try to & Mike Miller is open; or focus on them to the point you lose track of Bosh.You're acting like the Lakers can just man to man, guard up on LeBron & Wade at the same time; you could barely handle Pierce & Allen lol.

Yeah I wouldnt just give the title to Cleveland yet. But they are obviously the favorites. Look at the Lakers with their HOF roster they tried to create. They got smoked by the Pistons lol. A team with not one HOF'er on it.

Look at the Lakers with their HOF roster they tried to create. They got smoked by the Pistons lol. A team with not one HOF'er on it. You mean Miami? They're much different than that Lakers team. For one, LeBron, Bosh, and Wade are have been friends for a while. When the Lakers put that team together Kobe and Shaq had been having issues for years and there was all that shit going around about Malone trying to get with Kobe's wife. Not to mention the enormous age gap on the team and the distraction of Kobe's sexual assault accusation. Plus Malone and Payton (although still effective) were out of their prime. I don't see the Heat winning this year and I agree that just adding big names isn't always the answer, but I don't really think the situations are that comparable.

Guys, remember: The Celtics were nothing before Garnett/Allen came. The Heat made the playoffs last year with a decent seed. Garnett, Pierce, Allen - all out of their prime. Rondo? Not nearly as good as he is now. Eddie House? Not nearly as good as Mike Miller.If Z joins the Heat, they also have a true Center. Now they just need a good defender who takes charges and makes opponents want to chop his head off, and they are good to go.They don't need a great PG because James is a terrific ball handler / passer.
