No...I think some of the comparisons are about the process they are trying to follow, and the style of play they're hoping to institute.
I haven't heard anyone compare them in terms of talent or ability on the floor.
Some people have. But, you know how it is, a lot of people are jerks.
You're correct though in terms of the process they're trying to follow. In terms of play style, CLP surprised me in saying they actually try to follow the Heat somewhat. Said stte that, even though they don't get up and down the court fast, the rate at which the Heat runs their sets is apparently very high. That's what they (the Hawks) want to see.
I concur with Buzz in saying the Nash-era Suns is a more apt comparison than the Warriors though.
That's pretty interesting, actually. So they're not necessarily looking to fast break, but more initiate quick sets to get mismatches, cross coverage, etc?
Never would have thought of the Heat as a high frequency half court team, but I've watched them twice in two years...!
