fronting KG doesn't work simply b/c Chalmers doesn't harass the hell outta Rondo on the entry pass. you cannot give Rondo that unobstructed line of sight & expect him NOT to lob it in to KG. that's beyond absurd. and Chalmers always has his hands out....and not up. it's frustrating as hell to watch!!!!!
i don't understand why Spo never put Pittman in to waste a few fouls on KG. at least he has height, which Turiaf & Joel do not. James Jones had no business playing as many minutes as he did last night in the 4th. he wasn't hitting anything on the offensive end & he goofed on @ least 2 critical plays. fouling KG on an And-1 & missing the rebound. i know Mike was probably very hurt, but James Jones brought NOTHING to the table. he was almost like the Joel Anthony of wing players. ugh!!!
i have no expectations now for Game 6. however, i don't wanna see Miami lay down & play dead. or roll over & just give up. as i watched last night in the 2nd Q, i told my friend ".....even with this 10-pt lead.....i'm not comfortable. Miami should be up more. they should be blowing Boston outta the water. how can they not be? Pierce, Allen & Rondo are having horrific games so far. they need to take advantage of that." and sure enough......they allowed Boston to stick around.
i'm not sure what they need to ever FULLY reach their potential. a part of me feels cheated when I listen to Doc's "Wired" segments...or Popp's....or hell, even Doug Collins'. even if i'm pulling against their teams.....i, as an opposing fan, believe that their team will pull through. Spo does not do that for me. he comes across more like the CEO's son.......who just so happens to be filling in while his Dad's on vacation. you don't wanna outright disrespect him but you just nod & smile b/c of the "position he holds".
if Miami should fall short in this series, i wouldn't be surprised if Bosh gets traded. just a feeling i have.
