OK. It's done. The MIami Heat unique training camp has finally come to an end. I've watched all the videos, and even the five-on-five scrimmage. This is a totally different team from last year to say the least. Here are a few of my opinions and predictions after watching this team so closely for the last week.
- LeBron James is freakishly good at basketball. He provided most of the highlight reel from this training camp. His passes were crisp, his shot looks like it has improved, and his elbow showed no signs of any lingering aliment.
- Wade is re-energized. Last year this time D. Wade came into camp over weight. This year he came in and look like his 2008-09 form. He seems to be actually trying on defense more, which could be scary for the rest of the L.
- Mike Miller is not only shooter. Throughout camp Miller showed great ability to handle the ball and make plays. Whether it be driving and dishing or just taking the ball to the hole, Miller made plays. He's known for his shooting but he looks like he will showcase his complete game here in Miami.
- Defense is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, priority for this team. The first day of training camp they did not do 1 single offense drill. The whole day was spent on defense. What else to do expect form a Erik Spolstra team?
- Big man by committee seems to be the winner. Big men were rotated in with the big three when the scrimmaged and all brought different games. Joel looks to be your starter.
- Bosh is a legit player. Yes we've heard all summer about the big three but Bosh still has been pushed to the side. But his jumper is as sweet as any big man in the L and he is willing to bang with the big boys.
- The Heat mean business. Good luck to everybody.
