Are they seriously booing Wade? Classy...

Remember when Wade got a minor injury on the court at ATL last year in the playoffs? The Hawks were CHEERING as Wade went off the court. Wade came back later in the game, and the Hawks started booing him. Classy [expletive], right? I hate the crowd in Atlanta.

I can see the "tweek" that Spoelstra was talking about.

 

Usually the Heat start the second quarter with this line up:

 

Arroyo - Wright - Beasley - Haslem - Anthony

 

With this line up, the offense is played through Beasley, where he would supposedly dominate with his scoring, force defenses to adjust, and open things up for everyone else. Unfortunately, this hasn't been working very well throughout the year, and the ball usually winds up sitting at one side of the court with a forced shot while the shot clock is winding down.

 

 

Now, Spoelstra has changed the beginning of 2nd quarter line up to:

 

Arroyo - Cook - Wright - Haslem - O'Neal

 

Instead of the offense running through Beasley, it's now run through Wright and O'Neal (which I have actually suggested in a thread a while back). This isn't a move to diminish Beasley's playing time at all, since he now gets more minutes in the 1st quarter and plays half of the 2nd, instead of before where Beasley got half of the 1st quarter and most of the 2nd.

 

The new line up has more ball handlers and shooters to space the floor and keep the ball moving, plus there is a lot more speed to leave room for fast breaks. I like this offense a lot better. Haslem has great chemistry with O'Neal and Wright. And again, a lot more ball movement with the ball handlers, shooters, and passers, plus no Beasley to stop the flow.
