Along the lines of jordans bulls and the shaq/kobe lakers, we are witnessing something very special with this heat team tryna 3peat. Probably the greatest small ball team of all time and they're so confident & efficient in their style that it doesn't matter if you have a motivated roy hibbert or a tim duncan playin like its 2003, they're STILL going to make you concede in a game of chicken and have you take your big men out during the final possessions to match up with them in crucial moments (game 1 ECF, game 6 NBA finals).
And even if you don't bytch out to their matchup style, they play some of the best positional and scramble defense that i've seen. Come playoffs, you damn near have to be having an all time shooting performance run from deep to beat them in a series, like the type of special crack Dallas was on in their '2011 playoff run, which was the same potent shyt both danny green and gary neal were puffing in last year's playoffs for the spurs (b4 they got cold late). Either that or you gotta find a way to completely shut them down offensively and play an ugly grind it out game where you pound them on the glass.. but the margin of error for that defensively is ridiculous and even then it just depends on whether the battiers/allens are gonna hit their open shots that game.
And this was before they added a 6th man of the year type talent in beasley, who can basically be their '96 toni kukoc if he simply does what he did tonight. I thought last years team was better than their '12 team and that their '12 team was obviously better than their '11 team. Well with beasley and just their added experience, they've basically gotten better once again.
Fortunately Indiana has gotten better too and may very well upgrade up again depending on what happens with Granger, and hopefully so (whether its a trade or he simply comes back meshing well) because Miami is simply trudging along.
