Game Day Open Thread -- Heat -- Second Half

Gotta make this quick. Eric Spoelstra just sent me a text message asking if I would play some PG in the second half.  Wish me luck. I'll try not to dribble off my own heel like Chris Quinn.

Miami isn't jumping on pick and rolls in the 4th

Sergio’s effectiveness is always due to 2 factors.

1. Teams defending the pick and roll….staying back and not jumping on it
2. Jumpshots going down.

He kept the shot count down to the manageable 3 level.

His bread is buttered with the slick passes, he’s never gonna “develop a jump shot,” in all likelihood — but as long as he keeps playing within himself, playing his own game and not trying to be Steve Blake, no problems. Three shots of less…

No question it's Ike

Although that leaves only four bigs dressing, not counting Outlaw.

But yeah, assuming Nate sticks with a ten man rotation, it will be interesting to see who makes the cut. Hate to see anybody lose time, actually. Batum is really, really playing well. I guess Frye would have to be the favorite with Trout shifting to the four?

Frye is a really solid bench guy for most teams. Even good ones – Cleveland, for instance, would love to work him into their rotation. Crazy that he could be the odd man out.

Definitely possible Nic takes a seat, too, until some space clears up. He’s going to be very solid.

Loved Trout’s game tonight. Unselfish, took it to the rack, aggressive in spots. Actually played smart. He’s too talented to be in the running for a bench spot.

I agree

Channing would have scored 30 points had he played the whole game and Sergio would have had at least 25 assists.

Those should be divied up like sacks

Somebody is being robbed. All the times Pryz and Batum get a hand on the ball and tip it to somebody should be rewarded. Pryz had 8.5 boards today. Does that sound so bad?

Hollinger looks like an ass

because he didn’t predict us to win that many, but he can’t argue with his own formula.

I hate him, by the way.

by Bust a Bucket on Nov 26, 2008 9:59 PM PST up reply actions  

Why?

He’s a bad prognosticator, and some of his stats are flawed/simplistic, but he’s MUCH more insightful than most of the typical espn-analyst types. He, Thorpe, and Simmons are all way above the curve in my book, for very different reasons.

Really not good at predictions, a lot of the time, but he improves the level of conversation in the mainstream media, I think.

by KP Corleone on Nov 26, 2008 10:08 PM PST up reply actions  

For instance

A lot of analysts (probably the majority) were saying Iverson was the best player in the Nuggets-Pistons deal. Hollinger recognized that Billups instantly transformed the Nuggets into a likely playoff team. Although granted, his reasoning was a little flawed.

I think Berri and the advanced analytics people are way above Hollinger’s PER-centric methods, but compared to most, he’s a step above.

I like adjusted +/-

and such, not a big winscore fan. It tends to undervalue offense as much as PER underrates defense. I like 82games.com realgm’s reina value, and basketball prospectus.

Unless I'm very much mistaken,

Camby misses a 3 and Clips lose to the Nugs

Seriously, clips had 8 seconds left and a timeout, and instead they don’t call a time out and end up with Marcus Camby taking a long 3 pointer from the top of the key, when only down by 1.

And people wonder why the Clips suck…. (no, wait, they don’t)

I just got back from the game

And I have a few observations, about both this team and Miami, and figured this was the best place to make them.

1) Rudy and Batum both fit the definition of hungry. There was one point in the fourth quarter, we were up big, and Channing nails a corner three. Rudy comes running in from just beyond the three point line and off a bit to the other side from Frye’s shot, and he is the closest player to the ball after it goes through the net. Many other other players would have already been jogging back, or maybe hang around the perimeter after the shot went up, knowing it didn’t really matter what happened. Batum fouling a guy going after an offensive rebound with 2.7 seconds left to play in a 38 point blowout told me once again that he is going to be something in this league. I don’t know what yet, but he is going to be very, very, good.

2) Sergio looked really, really, good tonight. He was always moving around, and making beautiful passes. I didn’t really see any points where he was making stupid decisions, or forcing anything. He looked really natural, and really smooth. He could very well be very good.

3) Oden, on the other hand, just doesn’t look like he is really enjoying himself out there. Fortunately, I think his biggest problem will be fixed, where he holds the ball. The Heat threw men on him every time he touched the ball tonight, and he didn’t get too frustrated. And listening to the post-game interview waiting in the Rose Garden parking lot, he sounded like the saddest man in the world. I think it is because he shaved the beard.

4) This is really going to tweak Hollinger’s ratings again, and once this game doesn’t count (because later in the season he stops counting the beginning of the season) we’ll drop back down to probably roughly where we belong. But it is fun to think we are in the top 5 best teams in the NBA. Improbable, but fun.

5) First thing I noticed from the Heat tonight was how foolish their uniforms look. Basically, my big issue is the way it deals with the nameplates. Mario Chalmers, which is not a long name by most stretches of the imagination, looks horrid. His name looks way too big for his back.

6) The longer Beasley was in the game, the less I liked him. I’ll admit, I was already kind of ready to dislike him after what happened in the Rookie Transition Program. But after seeing him pop 3-Pointers early in the game, when you still have D-Wade out on the floor, and then watching him nonchalantly jog back down the floor? No thanks. I recall one sequence where a loose ball rolled near him, and he didn’t pick it up. Sergio (I think) picked it up, and started running down the floor. Beasley just jogs next to him, and makes no attempt to disrupt Sergio running down the floor. I was disgusted. Rose on TV looks like a way better pick-up than Beasley, and I don’t know why Chicago was even pretending to think about Beasley. Also, after picking up his quick two fouls, he made to slowest walk back to the bench I have ever seen. I wish he had of at least jogged back to the bench, to show he still wanted to hustle.

7) Erik Spolestra is a crazy animated coach. It was interesting to see the contrast between him and Nate, who’s HUGE pant-legs moved more than his upper body. It seemed like every time that the Heat were bringing the ball up the floor he was calling a play. Even on an inbounds from the side he was making hand signals and yelling at his players. I don’t know if that is the sign of a micromanaging coach, or a coach who doesn’t trust his players. Either way, I’m not sure I would enjoy it if I were a player on the Heat. It seems to me that him showing hand-signals every time the Heat do something is a great way for them to lose games, merely because teams with a halfway decent film department and at least one game against the Heat can figure out what the plays are going to be based on his hand signals. Hand signals worked well in my high school YMCA league, not sure how well they are going to work every night in the NBA.

9) I have to say, we as a fanbase really, really want to love Oden. Every time he did anything that made it to the stat sheet, or even sat down, he got a huge cheer, even though Joel is really playing out of his mind, and looks like he has the mindset of “If I want to block a shot, I’m gonna block that shot. No questions.” And I have no idea how come everyone in attendance was standing and yelling and screaming for a full minute in a timeout with a forty point lead at the end of the game. I would really like to know what other fanbase would do that. It was ridiculous. I felt like I was back at college watching a basketball game, where you stand just because you can. It was legit.

This got kind of long, maybe I should have made it into a fanpost, or cut down on the words. Sorry.

on point number 9)

the standing ovation was for Pryzabilla’s performance after he had rejected beasley’s crap on a couple successive possessions. He got a LONG standing ovation when he went to the bench, it wasn’t for Oden coming in.
