    mchale is slow to make adjustments just like last playoffs. we can afford this during the regular season, but not the playoffs.

    Feels good not seeing Dorsey on the court

    Feels even better seeing DMo continue where he left a month ago

    Glad to see Pap back too

    I thought Nelson wasn't too fond of Dwight.

    Murph's suits make Craig Sager look like a 1970's IBM employee.

    Well, the Heat obviously aren't going to put Whiteside on him come the second half. Dwight's been known to back down when you play him physically these days. Let's see if he gets in a scuffle with Andersen or Bosh come the second half. At least that means he isn't passive.

    DMo should stay in the starting line-up. He has the skill to go against tough defenses.

    The rotation of bigs that the coaches put in was great. Dwight started the 2nd qtr so he can anchor the 2nd unit. By that time, he has warmed up.

    Then Josh Smith to provide the variance alongside Dwight and DMo. When Josh Smith plays unselfish, good things happen. I think it's more of a mental block he has to overcome. His confidence is shot!

    Well Dorsey isnt playing because Rockets can get away with it. Heat don't have a center.

    Dmo plays like a dominating big vet that lost the athleticism.

    This is so much better. Posting Dwight effectively. Giving D-Mo the ball, not overworking Ariza and Harden.

    And Smoove just being a role player and most importantly

    NO DRIBBLING FROM BEVS AND ARIZA

    haha, right. I'd also rather him just stay in post though instead of even try 1 three...

    keys to second half:

    feed the post (dmo & dwight), keep turn overs down (smith).

    Canaan showed flashes of brilliance, got hurt, can't get back on the court, fans dont know why just like the wide receiver posey for the texans.

    The stat sheet doesn't show it, but Smith looks fantastic out there tonight.


    Keep finding the three bigs...
