Of all players to have defended at least 100 possessions this season, Synergy Sports has Cole giving up the third-lowest points-per-possession in the entire league, just behind noted stalwart Tony Allen. Thats nice, but Synergys defensive numbers lack context. Cole could have been lucky enough to be the closest defender on 50 jump shots, simply as an example.
Heres a better gauge of his effectiveness:
Focusing on the more highly regarded point guards Cole has defended this season, he has been on the courts against Deron Williams, Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague, Brandon Jennings, Raymond Felton and Goran Dragic for a total of 116 minutes. In that time, those points guards have shot 4-of-32 and scored 16 points. Put another way, the best six point guards Cole has faced are scoring 4.96 points per 36 minutes and shooting 12.5 percent with Cole on the floor.
Yes, hes missed out on Kyrie Irving and Tony Parker add Patrick Mills and Jeremy Pargo to the mix and Cole comes out even better and he didnt play much against the Grizzlies, but Cole can only defend the man in front of him. And so far, hes been a giant in his own right.
Nobody wasn't scare out of their mind, breh. Fans and sport medias are going to give criticisms in each games. I have been a Heat fan since the start of the franchise. In comparison to the teams of the past, this current Heat's roster is the most talented team I ever seen so far despite its lack of size in the frontcourt;therefore, I would like to see this team play up to its level and stomp the lesser opponents and play well against elite squads. We got our butt whoop twice by the Knicks, got lit up by the Grizzlies, and outplayed from both side of the court by the Clippers, almost lost to bunch second string players, and lose to one of the worst teams in the NBA. The way we lost our games is going to create some concerns from the fans and that is normal. If there wasn't any concern and any criticism, Spo wouldn't made a prude decision to change the line-up and Wade would have continue to play like a role player.
then right after that they took care of bron 
.. they're also the 4th best rebounding team
