Who said anything about Love post game? And whoever said Whiteside was good in the post? Myself and just about every Heat fans have all been in agreement that he needs to work on his post game.
That stat is all the more reason why he should post up more often. 42% of his shots come from the 3-point line. Bosh did not start shooting 3's until LeBron's last year in Miami and even then he did not shoot this high of a percentage from 3. Although Love is a much better natural shooter, he didn't have to develop the ability like Bosh.
Game-changing players play both sides of the court, Bosh/Wade could do that at a high level (as Horns mentioned). Love/Kyrie are less capable when it comes to that. That's part of the reason why the Cavs struggle so much when James is having an off game or is injured. Take it from a Kobe fan, a heavy load of games/minutes always comes back to haunt a player. How many more Finals performances like last year does LBJ have in him?
I get that- but how is it even relevant?
Of course Wade and Bosh- DIRECTLY SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR PRIMES- when they came together- made a very formidable 3-some- however- how long was it before Wade started going downhill?
Kyrie and Love have not even REACHED their prime years yet. If you are trying to ask the question of what Big 3 was better at their height- its an impossible question to ask while Kevin Love is 27 and Kyrie Irving is 23.
not only that- but i think Heat fans would readily agree- that the Cavs supporting cast- Thompson, Shumpert, Mozgov, etc. etc.- is superior to any supporting cast the Heat had.
I don't know, I'd take Ray Allen over JR Smith any day of the week. Hell, I'd take him over Smith today.
