few thoughts on the heat pacers game 3.
yes, i'm late, but w/e
Wades shoulder did actually look injured/ sore. He was shooting really weird all game and was very reluctant to use his left arm for anything. Thats no excuse for the amount of times he got with in 7ft of the rim, and didn't even put up a floater or take the foul, but kicked it out to a shooter that was covered.
Wades entire game was bad, but LBJ's second half wasn't exactly stunning to watch either.
Shane Battier can only play for about 8mpg. If he can't hit the corner 3 he's essentially a huge negative for them. Play James Jones, he's probably a much better option.
LBJ can't play the 4. Not for long stretches. Remember all those years of "he's big enough to play the PF position!!!!". No. Just, No. He might be big enough physically, but he's not used to the pounding those guys take. And West is making his arrival particularly difficult.
Hibbert finally took advantage of his height and look at the god damn result. Bout time.
George did a great job, and so did granger. I like that Granger made LBJ guard him. And didn't let LBJ rest on the defensive end. Grangers first half production had as much to do with LBJ's second half performance as anything else.
Its amazing how much the heat miss Bosh.
