| Re: ECF Game 2 Cleveland May 24 8PM Good recap, Lee. We'll see you when you wake up.
No need to go over ground covered by so many others. Not a good game for us, except as a win. The second was a bad quarter, but I thought Flip was smart to keep bringing Maxiell in to match Varejao. Hate to sound like a fanboy, but Amir could be a decent activation choice for the next game. It's so hard for Webber and Dice to keep up with the Brazilian, and our age is showing on the loose balls.
Delfino not only hit a couple of big shots (that second 3 was badly needed to counter the Cleveland longball barrage), but he did something Chauncey couldn't or wouldn't do -- snag the rebound and push the ball upcourt before Cleveland could set its defense. He looked loose and confident, even at crunchtime.
This game is Exhibit A why the "trade Sheed" types don't get it. He's not consistent and he won't always hustle, but his talent/skill level stands out in a game like this. He can beat even a fierce, well-coached defense, which Cleveland certainly has. |
