| Re: Round 2 Game 7 - "The Witness Falls" Bball, good point on Dice. Maybe they could have changed the defense. But I do think you underestimate Ben's range in covering drivers like Wade, Le Bron, etc. I think he held back a bit not wanting the fouls but against Cleveland, he should have used his fouls and mobility earlier in games. I wonder about Flip's scheme on Le Bron during this series. The problem we had with Campbell last year was, yes, he was good for Shaq, but he was awful on Wade's drives.
Ahb, Tay made some nice passes out of the double team. Wasn't it his pass to Lindsay across court in the 3rd for that three? This year, he is constantly surveying the double team and the floor. Tay is a match-up problem in almost any series. Last year, the ball would go to him and he would get stuck on the baseline. Not this year, not so far. And his shot has been just fine--look at the stats. No one can afford to not pay him attention any more. Without Tay these last two games, not sure we would be celebrating. He showed more grit than almost anyone. A player who is finally growing up. |
