Mike Miller going to Heat

[YosemiteSam]

Even if all three average 20, that's still only 60 points. The Cav's averaged 102 pts last year and the Heat 96. So where are those other 40 or so pts going to come from if not from them?

I suppose a better question would be, how many teams have had two players average 20+ ppg. How about three?

Think about what you're saying too. If three of the 12 dressed players on game day average 20ppg, that means the other nine (combined) can't average more than 4.4ppg a piece (based on an average of 100ppg) The top 12 scoring players on the Cavs last year all averaged more than 4.4ppg. Only one player on the Heat's top 12 in average scoring averaged less than 4.4ppg.

I will give you that two could do it. My issue is the fact that Chris Bosh will be there too. There is no way all three average 20ppg. That just isn't happening.

Such a beastly team. But without Kobe Bryant, we win Silver against Spain.

Yep, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh could only win a Bronze in the 2006 FIBA World Championships, losing to freaking Greece. They needed Kobe Bryant to win the gold in the 2008 Olympics. As a side note, Paul Gasol and Spain ended up winning in 2006. Some teams have proven winners and some teams have guys who have hour long specials on ESPN to tell everyone they are winners.

Bosh is the one who will probably be under 20 ppg. Wade and James will get their points.
