Portland can beat Miami in 7 gamesAnd the East goes through Washington, right?BS and you know it. They can't beat a zone and I repeatedly see itThat's not why they couldn't beat Dallas...did you know Dallas had the #1 offensive efficiency in the entire postseason last year? They flat-out shot lights out and Dirk had an all-time-great type series/playoffs. Indiana went zone in spurts yesterday and still got demolished. Tyson Chandler keeping Lebron and D-Wade out of the post had more to do with it than the zone, although I do admit the zone frustrated them cuz it gave them a different look they weren't used to. It's easy to beat a zone, it just sneaks up on you if you're not used to playing against it. Besides, Lebron, D-Wade and Bosh all are all Olympians and a zone defense is ALL they play against internationally.
OKC is gonna get to the finals and they will play zone and beat Miami, BOOK IT
Just watch, the zone only works until you play zone-busting offense with slashers and a shooter down the middle...the Heat are gonna see a healthy dose of that the next couple games, but I'll bump this thread in two weeks with ESPN and NBA.com articles about how the Hear finally figured the zone out and it's useless against them.
