| Re: Round 3 Game 1... Heat @ Pistons
Game Analysis: No Emotional Energy. We were flat from the beginning, lacking quickness, lift and passion. We have seen the same thing in other teams throughout the playoffs. IMO the NBA does itself a disservice, reducing the quality of play, by scheduling short turn-arounds after series having run 7 games. Maybe we didn’t want to believe ourselves susceptible to such a letdown but in retrospect it is understandable.
Flip on the other hand failed to perform exploratory surgery. It didn’t take long to realize our starters needed scoring help from the bench. Putting a sub out there is one thing, calling a play for them is something else entirely. Delk in, no play run for him. Mo in, no play run for him. I credit Lindsey for trying to generate scoring himself, ugly as was, but he needs to do a better job of getting Dice started. Forget the Heats post game bravado, all we needed was one guy to get hot and Miami was toast.
Note to the fans, er pretty people: Sit the !@#$ down. What is with all of the strolling back and forth from endline to endline. Freakin peacocks. The claim that many playoff fans don’t know diddly about the game ain’t too far from the truth.
