GAME #36 LAKERS VS HEAT 6:30 PM 1/11/09 FSN

He was hedging to help stop Wade's penetration, no? Considering all the three-point plays he dropped on our head, that was understandable.

Anyway, you're on point -- there's big difference between the second quarter and the fourth. That's why Dwyane Wade is Dwyane Wade and Chris Quinn is Chris Quinn.

After seeing the play over, Fish got lost in transition which is the first rule of defense finding you guy after a bucket.

In regaurds to Kobe's defense I thought he played defense really well. His ball denial was great, his one on one defense was great when Wade didnt have a pick. The only thing that was the problem was when Wade got a pick the help guy let wade go right around him. Now granted it is D-Wade. Kob e probably should have opened up a little bit more to let negate the pick because theres really no fighting through that because once wade gets a step its over. What really surprised me was how much Wade needed that pick to get to the rim. Kobe didnt fall for the head fakes or any of D-Wades antics. D-Wades offensive game is ridiculous, Thats probably about as well as you can play him.

Here's a pretty good article about Kobe's defense on Wade:
