With Diop playing limited minutes, and about 6 different players guarding Wade, the Heat need to take it to the basket. Whether it means a drive from Wade, or penetration from Williams or Walking, or feeding Shaq, exploiting the Mavs interior D will be key </font></font> [*]<font face="Tahoma"><font color="black">Stop Dirk. It's easier said then done, but like the Suns did in Game 4 of the WCF, it can be done. Collapsing on Dirk, and forcing him to take tough shots will be key. However, nobody can really guard Dirk one on one, so I'm suspecting to see a little Shandon Anderson in the series and Posey trying to stop him. </font></font> [*]<font face="Tahoma"><font color="#000000">Get supporting cast involved. Shaq and Wade can get there's, however, they wont be able to win unless the supporting cast steps up like they have all post-season. Harris and Terry will create problems for Williams, with Howard trying to stop Wade, so everyone has to step up.</font></font>[/list]<font face="Tahoma"><font color="red">GO HEAT!</font></font> </font>
Played alright...but we settled for to much jumpers in the second half, and stopped feeding Shaq the ball. Also Walker is really pssing me off, his turnovers and silly plays are the most frustrating things to watch, makes me wanna hate the guy. But anyways this loss is only going to help us, I am posotive Riley will put that loss in the players heads and get them focus and motivated for Game 2.
Agreed. Also, Dwyane Wade needs to be more aggressive when he has the ball. Don't differ to Walker or Shaq. He is the best player on the court and got to the rim at will. Shaq needs the rock to. Another thing that pissed me off is that Jason Williams was hot early and never got a chance to shoot.
Wow no posts in a week..guess everyones busy with exams or a summer job or something. Anyways, I didn't like the way we played in game 3 for the 2nd half, but Wade pulled it off at the end, and in game 4 the Heat just turned it up a few notches. Next game will be key for us because then we would have to only take one game in Dallas to win the Finals. However, if we don't win the next two games, Game 7 is going to be extremely hard to win at Dallas.
What a game last night, Dwyane Wade had another impressive showing, Posey played out of his mind out there, Shaq played great and we defended Dirk spectacularly.
