Who is going to check Russell Westbrook? LeBron? Then have Shane permanently on Durant?
Thabo/Harden is going to all but neutralize Wade.
Add in Fishers veteran presence and shot making ability.
Durant vs James edge has to go to Durant's shooting.
Ibaka will swarm Bosh. He can check Bosh all over the court. Perkins delivers the hard blows.
I would think Wade guards Westbrook when it matters, Battier on Harden, and LeBron on Durant.
Durant vs. LeBron goes to whoever gets points more efficiently and gets others involved in the game, if Durant is handling the ball a lot.
Ibaka is not a good on-ball defender. Did you see how many times he went for a block on his man tonight when the guy pump faked and then went right around him? Bosh loves the pumpfake and drive move. I would play Collison a lot on Bosh (Perkins is probably too slow) and use Ibaka for what he's good for, protecting the rim on help defense. If you put Ibaka on Bosh, first of all I think Bosh schools him one on one, and second of all if he helps off of Bosh then Bosh gets wide open shots. Put him on Joel Anthony and let him roam.
