 Wade Glad LeBron Will Draw[..]ignment Of Defending Durant
By xoutchucky - 06-12-2012, 09:07 AM - Boxden > BX SportsCenter


LeBron James will be given the primary[..]ignment of defending Kevin Durant.

Dwyane Wade made the case that it could be good for his fellow Heat star.

“I’m glad he has that challenge because it’s going to make him focus more,” Wade said. “It’s going to make him play a little different. I’d rather for him to be guarding Kevin Durant than to have to guard DeShawn Stevenson like last year, where he wasn’t as involved. And also Shawn Marion, he wasn’t as involved. Kevin Durant, you’ve got have your antennas up at all times. I think it’s going to bring out the best in both of them.”

Shane Battier guarding Kendrick Perkins......I am OK with that!!!

How many will KD average for series and FG%? I will have to say less than 25ppg shooting 45% or less.

I hope lineup is:

Westbrook vs. Chalmers
Thabo vs. Wade
KD vs. LBJ
Ibaka vs. Haslem
Perk vs. Battier

Harden coming off bench & Bosh (at least Bosh for 1st 2 games at OKC). We will need a spark off bench!

Even if they attempt to take advantage of Battier, Perk has no skills and will be going against their gameplan. If Heat go Haslem & Bosh, we don't necessarily have any 3pt shooter on floor outside of Rio, can't count on Bosh to make 3 3's again.

if they had a bigger PG they could throw wade on westbrook. I dont think chalmers will be able to hold westbrook. It will be interesting to see if OKC has thabo guardin lebron cuz he could easily get kd in foul trouble on offense

I think Miami starts big. The Thunder are a jump shooting team who will k!ll you if they win the boards. So the Heat have to start big. Would be surprised if Bosh and Haslem didn't start. Also expect alot of Battier on Durant. LeBron can't be put in a position to chase Durant off screens for multiple possessions.

In the past four games against LeBron, Durant outplayed him. He played poorly in the most recent loss for the Thunder at the hands of Miami.

However, that's the regular season. If that's any indication, along with Wade's inconsistencies, OKC will probably win.

that will be interesting. if lebron is aggresive and goes to the rack one of them will be in foul trouble early. think they will start with thabo on him, then have durant on him late in the game.

Focus more? [pic]

If anybody needs to focus its Wade. stop turning the damn ball over and carrying yourself like "its all good,next time". possessions are gonna be precious in this series. If wade loses the ball more than Westbrook it's a wrap

I see Westbrook getting in the lane alot. I dont think Wade or Chalmers can stay in front of him. The real test will be when Harden is in the game with them.

Thabo is weak. Wade will help off of Thabo and help chalmers on defense when he wants. He'll also chill at times to save energy for Offense and so he can dunk on perkins again

he made a valid point, there are pros and cons. we definitely need to keep lebron engaged. no need to read between the lines, he made a pretty clear reference to last year's finals. there will be plenty of cross match ups. i'm sure wade will see time on westbrook as he has routinely in previous meetings and i'm sure battier will pick up durant some of the game and wade will get him on switches and in transition. if they put thabo on bron, that will help wade because thabo is one of the better guys in the league at defending wade 1 on 1.

Wade will be good..

this is where Wade shines better than Lebron...the Finals.

Thabo isn't weak. He's a great defender, and will slow Wade down, not lock him up, but slow him down. Seflosha can make shots too, so Wade won't be able to sag off him like you may think he is.

I know Durant would love for Battier to be on him alot if them regular season games are any indication then Battier can't guard Durant for !! he could the year before when he played for Memphis but this season KD got nicer...I am worried about how well LBJ been playing dude has been playing possessed but i think KD defense is underrated he has the speed to keep this current version of Bron in front of him most of time and has the length to challenge every shot he takes but LBJ also has the physical tools to make KD work hard for his shots and deny him the ball...think the series will be the best in the long time

i would put westbrook on wade in that case.

yea thabo isnt as active a scorer as Harden, Durant and West but if you leave him open he can knock down the shot
