NO FEAR!
I have a feeling Moon may try to make some noise.... he's very athletic and has good defense most of the time... Plus, he might still hold a grudge
because he was beat so bad in the Dunk contest by the Man!

I'm confused ... how can the greatest shooter ever in the history of the game miss open 3s?
meaning when they arent given the chance to have the wide open look at a three....when they are cut off, it forces them to drive and neither one of Delfino or Kapono is going to hurt you on the drive...

Delfino is the worry, you know what Kapono will give you.

I wouldn't worry too much about kapono, unless mitchell was saving up all of his plays to get kapono a shot specifically for the playoffs.
We've made zero effort this season to get him open shots, I can't see how all of a sudden they're going to throw the offense out of whack by getting other players involved, but ya never know.
If Mitchell has something up his sleeve to get kapono open shats, then you should definitely be worried.

He may become valuable in this series because IIRC Van Gundy said that the Magic would start doubling Bosh next time they play us. They'd let Bosh go one on one for the most part, if they constantly double Bosh on most possessions, suddenly a guy like Kapono can become an X-Factor.

It all comes down to execution my friend. I'm not convinced as far as bosh being a great passer out of the double, though I certainly hope he proves me wrong.

Part of it is our ball movement, we used to swing the ball around the perimeter with a purpose, it's kind of disappeared the last two months. No doubt, Bosh is going to need to make quick decisions when he gets the ball, he can't stand there and wait for the doubles. He's proven he can make the right pass out of a double, we just needs our wings to start sharing and swinging the ball around to the open guy.
