So LeBron feels the team is lacking "fun" and "swag" right now.
Yes, Bron. Heat need to shift their priorities to "fun" and "swag" right now. That's what Michael, Larry, Magic, Kobe would say. Not getting tougher, meaner, more aggressive or anything like that, it's all about fun and swag...
I honestly don't see this team winning more than 45 games. I'm sorry, I just don't buy the hype.
Bosh needs bigs who can take care of all of the tough stuff underneath while he does some flashy stuff offensively and gets an occasional rebound. Right now he's being asked to patrol the paint on this squad and that's just not his game...
Wade and James are just slightly different versions of each other. Neither have any experience playing off of the ball and neither are very good spot-up shooters. Both are at their best when the ball is in their hands and they are playmaking/setting up teammates, and driving to the rim.
Big names can't replace chemistry and meshing skillsets/roles.
When the Big 3 in Boston happened, they all brought something unique/different to the table in terms or skills, and all played different roles.
Rondo-KG-PP34-Ray? You can go right through their respective skillsets and literally visualize how well they work together. It works on paper and it works in reality. That is a perfect foursome.
Kobe-Pau-Lamar-Artest-Bynum? Again... Completely different kinds of players that each bring something unique and different to the table. Allen was the spot up shooter, Pierce was the closer and off-the-dribble penetrator, Garnett is the interior defense and opon for pick and roles while being the enforcer for the whole team. It's worked out pretty damn well since day one. These guys didn't have to change their games in order to fit together. It just melted together perfectly, because it was a well thought out lineup.
James-Wade-Bosh? Not so much. You have three guys that are most comfortable in isolation situations and three guys that seem to need the ball to dominate games.
Also, the whole "give them some time to mesh" thing is overused. Did LA need time to mesh when Pau was acquired midseason? Nope, we went on an incredible tear all the way to the Finals. Boston looked scary good from game 1 and won it all that same year. If you go back and look at the teams "we had to give some time to mesh", they are never as successful as predicted.
