Not pretty at the moment. Despite hitting our first 11 shots of the night, Miami have scored 71 to HT on 59% shooting. The sad part? Neither Shaq nor Wade are dominating offensively, but they are getting a ridiculous amount of open shots on the perimeter. In the second quarter, I was surprised if they didn't score on a possession - it was like game four against the Spurs in the WC semis last season when we scored on 18 straight possessions or something. I liked what I saw of Swift - had a nice dunk and some strong rebounds, but Bob Hill hasn't brought him back in after a brief stint in the first quarter. Rashard has 20 but looks our lone light offensively, although Luke has hit some shots (but it will annoy Casual to see him shooting those floaters). Some horrid officiating though - like when Rashard was crunched by Shaq looking for the lay-up, and no foul called. Then they give Antoine Walker a three-point play for a ridiculous continuation call. This could get very ugly, very quickly, especially as Shaq and 'Toine are hitting all their FTs. The reception GP got was a nice touch though.
Got it back to nine near the end of the third, and missed a triple tip in which resulted in a three-point play down the other end. Could have been seven, instead it went back to 12, and it's about that after three. We just don't have the depth to compete with Miami though - when you can bring Walker, GP and Mourning off the bench, that is really tough. Nick's confidence looks shot too, and I'm not surprised given the minutes he's gotten lately.
Robert Swift baby! yee-ahh!!! Haha, he looked pretty nice in the game highlights they were showing of him during the game.
I went to this game. At one point it good so bad that the crowd started chanting "Let's go Seahawks!" GP's reception was great.

The game was painful though, they made it seem like they could pull this one out by making their first 11 shots. Then my dad and I were discussing how we didn't think they'd missed a shot yet. Of course immediately after that they start missing and Miami pulls away.
