Their guys are too slow off the dribble. West and Hibbert are way too inconsistant in the post to depend on that style of play, so even though you think that's an advantage, Indy won't stick to that plan. Once they miss a few shots in the post, their perimeter guys will get frustrated and will stop feeding them the ball down low.
Wade has a significant advantage in this series. It's clear no one can guard him in the post and he's missing a lot of bunnies. Putting Barbosa on him to start the 2nd quarter for a 5 min stretch the last two games is a mistake.
Shots are gonna start falling for Mia if you're going to start packing in the paint on these guys. David West and Hibbert are both overrated defenders, and they are both having to matchup with Wade and Lebron in the pick n rolls. The separation is there on pretty much every play because these guys are playing like 7 feet back every time cause they're scared.
