Poe Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 If the Heat defend them the right way, they should no problems winning this one. Wade and Wright should be taking turns on CP3, Arroyo and Chalmers should take no part in defending him. Beasley and Haslem need to make a point to defend West, and the wings need to stay home on shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 The Heat had a good stretch towards the end... They hustled and got nearly all of the 50-50 balls. Really exciting game. Too bad they couldn't capitalize. Two things hurt the Heat towards the end, though. Cook's poor shooting, and the defensive Q-Rich - Chris Paul match up. Spoelstra should have replaced Cook in the game for Dorell, who should have beeen assigned to guard Paul, NOT Quentin. I'm having a hard time understanding why Dorell didn't get a chance in the second half, only for his minutes to be replaced by Cook's mediocre defense and poor shot selections. The Heat also struggled to make baskets that game, yet Beasley only gets 8 attempts and 24 minutes of playing time. With the Hornets doing everything they can to keep the ball out of Wade's hands, Beasley needs to be in there and stepping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 You know who everything you just said falls on right?Well, at least the 4th quarter line up managed to closen up a 16 point gap, to what was a 1 point lead after a Q-Rich tip in. If Spoe would have just fixed the Dorell-Cook problem, the Heat probably would have pushed over the top and won. Those 3 missed threes from Cook in the last 5 minutes were crucial, and all three were contested, hand-in-face looks that weren't needed to be taken. Beasley's minutes doesn't bother me quite as much because Haslem did play really well, and giving Beasley minutes didn't prove to be as big of a factor as the Cook-Dorell problem and the Rich-Paul matchup. I still think Spoe is a good coach. It's just one simple change Spoe should have probably made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
