Game 20: Warriors @ Heat (12/12 7:30PM) - Page 9 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

Spo lets them run their own offense though, remember?

So retarded. This team is just not a regular season team. They don't get up for every game and it shows.

Blargh, we lost because Ray Allen missed two shots that he probably shoots at a >50% clip. Also bad defense on that final possession.

Dont know exactly what was called though. If we were switching everything then part of the fault belongs to Ray.

As part of it does to Lebron, who as Tony pointed out, could have crowded Jack a little more to not make that pass possible.

Spo'a fault in that final play as well. Dont get having Ray in on a final defensive play.

Cole/Wade/Battier/Lebron/Bosh should have been the lineup.

Wow.

**Jace** · 12-13-2012, 12:07 AM

Yeah I've noticed Spo leave Ray in for defense-only possessions before. I understand the sentiment, but it's completely dumb. He's gotten away with it in other games. Hopefully a lesson has been learned this time.

OK, Heat actually were allowed to sub. Commence ripping Spo for playing Ray Allen on last-second defensive poss.

FML Spo, what are you doing...

**Jace** · 12-13-2012, 05:08 PM

Ray instead of Cole for a defensive possession is completely indefensible, especially after 37-year-old Allen played so much of the fourth. Erik's always given vets or high reputation guys the benefit of the doubt, even when it argues with reason. I think he likes to stick with the guys who've been playing, probably believing they'll be more locked in the game. It's stupid, and I'm pretty sure I remember it hurting us in the Washington game, too.

I figured we'd probably lose this one, though. Bad combination of a better-than-you'd-think team with no chance of coming out of the West, and that team being hungry to prove themselves against a top team. I hate to use sports cliches, but clearly they "wanted it more." I think we'll take it on the chin a few times this year from mid-to-lower-level teams eager to prove themselves. As Ira said, we may not even be playing serious basketball until after Christmas. We might not consistently beat teams we should beat until the weeks of basketball around the ASG.
