Actually, if the Heat are the barometer, we need to execute the only strategy that has won titles since they lost to Dallas- have Lebron James.
Seriously, all the teams that have given them fits in the playoffs- Spurs, Pacers, Celtics really only qualify here- Had great systems without really having a top-15 player, really good defenses, and good-to-great coaching. Those systems all countered the Heat system relatively well. They just couldn't scheme to compensate for the glaring lack of Lebron James.
Interestingly, the Heat haven't had trouble with any team that has a top-15 player. Bulls with Rose- 5 games. Melo in NY- 5 games. Thunder- 5 games.
