Five Reasons the Miami Heat Have a Legitimate Shot at Winning It All

3. Deep Roster

Head coach Erik Spoelstra’s starting lineup currently looks like this: Goran Dragic, Wade, Johnson, Deng and Stoudemire.

As for the bench, it has been all about quality over quantity as of late.

Josh McRoberts and Udonis Haslem haven’t been seeing the court much lately so that leaves Whiteside, Gerald Green, Winslow and the emerging Josh Richardson to make up most of the second-unit minutes. Those are four guys that could easily start on a number of NBA teams right now. If Bosh returns this season, Deng may return to the bench, which would make this team even deeper and scarier to face in the playoffs. For what it’s worth, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith seems to agree with this notion.

Watching @MiamiHEAT right, especially rookies Winslow & Richardson. I’m telling y’all, if Bosh returns…look the hell out!
