This article is extremely informative so I thought I'd share it with the rest of you guys. What do you think?

The most telling comparison IMO is the LeBron vs. Durant one. It really highlights how lethal LeBron is when he attacks the basket whereas Durant is more of a midrange/3 point behemoth. Also check out Wade's midrange game... It sucks.

More cool findings:
-Mario Chalmers shoots nearly 48% from midrange.
-UD's mid range game is HORRIBLE now (37%)
-Harden has virtually no midrange game
-The Heat and the Thunder have nearly the same 3P%
-The Thunder get shots in the paint just as often as the Heat do and nearly just as efficiently

Again and again ill say this

In my opinion. The bulls, celtics and sixers have the best defense

Stop 3s and layups. Encourage long 2's. We would be going on our 2nd technically 3rd championship if we did this. And it frustrates me so much.

I guarantee if lebron and wade. Especially wade, would attack the basket more we will win this series.


Bad shot selection and bad transition defense is why we lost. Lebron also did not think to stick to KD in the 4th. Is this a regular season game or the finals?
