Re: {--Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers - East Conf. Finals 2013--Miami 1- 0--}
I don't think its much of a slump outside of ray allen
I'm not sure with Ray, remember last year he was hurt, and his shot was off the same way. *
bosh can play better but he's not in there to be a 3 point shooter.
Agree Bosh have to do more, those three's are good here and there, but damn. I've seen him take Hibbert enough times to feel comfortable with that matchup "IN THE PAINT".... *
the team shot 46% so they're not stinking up the joint.
Correct, but it's not often the opposition shots higher...*
shane, rashard, miller etc don't move or create their own shot. so if no space no go really.
Maybe I'm high on Mike, but I think he's able to hit a pull up jump off the drive...creating his own shot
Rashard Lewis - I want him in the post against whom ever. the dude still can play but we know who's the coach. He the reason Big Z didn't come back last year, after they begged him to. You got Big Z and Erik Dampier two seven-footers but choose to play them limited minutes, while Dallas did anything they wanted too.*
i think ray will bounce back.
Anytime Jesus miss mutiple free throws you know something is up.*
i don't see how you can change that identity (rebounding) in this series, if we're gonna go by what teams are known for.
Spo coaching could/should change the identity by coaching smarter, he's not using his the matchups in the team favor. Bosh and Lebron*
shooting outside ain't the best option, to neutralize the pacers strength of lenth on the defensive side.... NEWS FLASH: the paint Is where it's at.*
wade is in a tough spot. he's got someone on him who is just sticking to him in stephenson. pacers don't need any production from stephenson on offense to be successful but the heat do need wade to be successful.. plus we don't know if he's healthy or he isn't who knows. 1 second he can't move the next he'd ddt'ing someone.
Yea Wade is likely hurt, the number 1 tell sign is defense, he's swiftness isn't there at the moment. The lack of him playing the passing lanes is hurting
the team's defense overall. **
i believe joel anthony should play more. honestly who are you protecting as post up players for the heat? bosh? that's it.
Yea they rode with Joel last year, he's more than capable of giving you *minutes(even if it's playing West).*
birdman, anthony.. they need to use their 12 fouls and try to deter hibbert. they can't get him in foul trouble but they can discourage him maybe..
Fuck those fouls, play him straight up.
You don't have to foul him every play, just play him tough.*
Seems like Birdman get caught up, with the energy tough guy shit too often, which leads to craziness, instead of solid defense. Playing with emotions ain't always a good thing, cause once there's no emotion what you have....nothing!!!!*
Pretty much, if his teammates can't help him, his coach MUST....the bigger question is, Do he know how?*
ray can play better bosh can wade maybe..
Bosh needs a bigger role and reduce the role of Wade. There's no time Wade should bring the ball up, only on a fast break(fuck I don't like Lebron walking the ball up, so you know how I feel about Wade.*
everyone else though?
they just don't have the advantage.
The advantages do favor the pacers, but the right counter is key.*
On another note...that every possession counts shit have gonna old. You playing a tough defensive team with a slow seven footer. Spo your team is wasting possesions with this grind approach, so what's the big deal, if some turnovers happen while running and gunning. *
Something else...my peeps said before the conference finals started, the thing that scare him is, All the coach that left can out coach Spo.
Coach Pop - I'd would say yea
Coach Frank - happening maybe(even tho I think they're even)
Coach Hollins - not sure(never paid attention to his in game adjustments)
