Re: Pistons/Magic 2nd Round Game 5, May 13th, 7:00 PM

The key is whether or not we have figured out their offense. Since mid-game 2, they have been able to run their offense way too smoothly. We need to pressure their guards more.

Lewis has been a problem. Sheed has slowed some with age and doesn't seem to be able to handle him outside. On the other hand, Sheed has done well with Howard.

Tay has had problems with Hedo. Hedo did a lot of damage in the 4th quarter in game 4.

Nelson only drives right yet we seem to be unable to contain his drive as we should.

Still, I think we have seen what they are about and hopefully, we can get some adjustments from this slow moving (historically) coaching staff whoever is in the game. The key is not who we play so much as to how we play.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing key defensive short stint substitutions using Afflalo and yes, even Amir. But for the limited purpose of jamming their offense up. I would like to see Theo in when Howard is out to be a shot blocking force.
