Re: Pistons At Heat ~ February 12th, 2006

Sorry, not quite done yet.

We got outboarded. Sure it was by a small margin but it happened again. Turnovers? We lost 13-4. Two starters combine for 8 points (Tay and Ben).

Dwyane Wade is a turnover machine. He had zero. That means no ball pressure. To put that in perspective, it's the FIRST TIME all year that DW has not had a turnover. Heck he's only had 5 games with only ONE turnover. This is a guy who averages a very solid 3+ TO per game.

Don't even get me started on the ageless wonder, Gary Payton or that Rip took only 2 shots in the 4th Q as our most consistent (and highest %) scoring threat.

No, the sky is not falling, but man I've been saying for ages that someone needs to push Tay for minutes, that he can't defend quick guys, that we need to work Hunter back into the lineup ASAP and it's starting to show signs of cracking.

Man, Flip had me totally onboard until recently. Now it looks like he's been coaching on autopilot. Hell, I could tell the Pistons to shoot whenever they have a shot. It doesn't take a wizard to do that.
