They even had a foul to give, which should have enabled them to interrupt the Heat's offensive flow and force a near-desperation try at the buzzer. The smart play would have been to lift point guard Baron Davis, who had five fouls, and replace him with Darrell Armstrong or Shammond Williams.</div> Floyd is in Hornets' nest
I've never really been impressed with Tim Floyd. The NBA's losingest coach before this year, he took a perennial winner to their worst record in eight years.
