KNOW YOUR ROLE!!!
The acronym "KNP" has been used by several coaches toward players on a basketball team. "KNP" means know your personnel, which translates know who on your team and do what. This will limit the amount of additional trips to the baseline because of a coach's frustration. Another essential aspect that is intertwined within "KNP" is a player's role. Players need to understand what they bring to the table as a member of a team. There are various roles that make-up a successful team. From scorer to defender from rebounder to screener roles accepted by players from coaches is imperative.
WHO'S THE MAN???
Considering the new look Miami Heat, the aspects of players playing roles are astounding. Within the "Big Three" Wade, Bosh, and James, what role will each play? As well as the remaining two starters, possibly Chalmers and Haslem, what role will they play within an offensive system? Will each player be willing to embrace the necessary role on the team to enable the Heat to win the Eastern Conference and compete for an NBA title? (...against the LAKERS???)
The rookies drafted and the some free agents signed were drafted and signed for a reason. Shooters to kill zones(House and Miller), two rookie bigs to block shots and bang in the post(Pittman and Varnardo), and a rookie swingman(Butler) to learn from two of the leagues best the role players on the Heat bench will be an asset to the "Big Three" if utilized correctly.

ON THE BASELINE!
G, Great blog. Lets say Miami beats Boston in the Eastern Conf. finals and plays the Lakers. My main concern is how will Miami matchup with the Lakers post players. Bosh will be left with the task to guard two different 7 footers at any given time of the game. This puts more pressure on inexperience post players and even Lebron. Secondly, who's going to run around guarding Kobe? Wade has good defense, but has never been known for great shutdown defense. It will be hard for other players to help on Kobe because the Lakers has great perimeter shooters to complement Kobe. With all that said, I believe a Laker vs. Miami finals will be exciting and entertaining but will come down to who has the better gameplan (Phil Jackson).
