Can the Heat 3-peat?! I love you Chuck, I do…but really?! In a recent interview Charles Barkley made somewhat of a shocking prediction when he was talking about the key to the Heat’s success this upcoming season. I think this player can play a role (hopefully), but key?!
Check out what he had to say & weigh in…
Can the Heat repeat again?
Charles Barkley, TNT: “I think that you saw the flaws in the Miami Heat last year, (specifically) their lack of size. And I think the key to me is going to be (free agent center addition) Greg Oden (who hasn’t played in a game since December 2009 because of knee problems). If he gives them physical size, it’s going to be very difficult to beat the team. But that’s their real weakness — size. Every big guy they play against just dominates them. I think it really, to me, it depends on what Oden has left in the tank.
“You saw last year, where first of all they shouldn’t have won the championship — (the) San Antonio (Spurs) just flat out blew it — but you see how (Indiana Pacers center) Roy Hibbert, (San Antonio forward) Tim Duncan had flashbacks. When they play against big guys, man, they just get dominated.”
