The Pacers look good and again the Heat have such trouble with them. Year after year, the Pacers are our toughest adversary.
Do we have an answer for Ron Artest and Jermaine O’Neal? Not really. Haslem is undersized and is playing poorly in this game, but its not his fault. Haslem hasn’t fell into his role yet.
Charles Barkely touched on this at half time. The Heat are lacking definition. Are the Miami Heat going to be a half court team or a speed team?
Imho, Van Gundy, has to get his line ups right. You know Antoine can play both, but obviously prefers the speed as I just saw his lay up +1. Wade, I like in either line up, but prefer him in the half court to provide the dazzle and come into the game later in the speed line ups similar to what was run last year. I like Haslem, Shaq, and Payton together right now. Take JWill, Zo, Antoine, DWade, and maybe Payton or Kapono seeing minutes and there you have your small ball speed line up.
We have to get our line ups right and play the system for those line ups. If we don’t, then we minimize our players talents.
Currently the way this Pacers game is running it sort of makes Haslem a non-factor. He needs to be setting those high picks and rolling hard. As I type Mourning records block #2. I love Zo.
