Who was thinking the same for the Knicks? Howard paired with a top3 PG with a very good supporting cast is a different story. Basically it's a different story than the Heat too. It's a better team than the Heat. The Heat are good but a healthy Bulls team can compete. The Nets will be much better than that.. Defense in the paint? check. Perimeter defense? check. Outside scoring? check. Inside scoring? check. Rebounding? check. Easy pick n roll? check. Players not similar with separated roles in the court? check. There is no flaw in this team. Howard on his own gave the Heat some serious trouble last year. With Deron,Joe Johnson,Williams and a solid PF..it will be a dominating team from day one.
Yes injuries may happen so nothing is guaranteed..But when your only hope for a championship is what happened this year for the Bulls to happen in 3 different teams in the same year... I don't know. It's kind of difficult to happen.
