Today's Game Discussion [11/12/12]

[Basel]

Marcus Morris with some huge shots.

[Basel]

LeBron responds with a ridiculous three!

[Basel]

And Parsons hits a three and gets his career high 25th point of the game. Crazy finish!

[Basel]

Jeremy Lin with an airball. Wow.

[Basel]

Wade misses both free throws but it goes right to Bosh who gets fouled. Tough break there for the Rockets.

[Basel]

Heat win.

Houston needs to fire their coach, this is unacceptable. Since the 3 minute mark every possession has been isolation, it's like their team is the one that has Lebron and Wade. At least run a pick or something, it's give the ball to James Harden and let's stand and watch. Houston didn't sub in any bigs before the free throw and allowed Bosh to get the off rebound and 2 more free throws. Asik has 14 rebounds and he was sitting on the bench, makes absolutely no sense.

To be fair, McHale is the head coach but he's on a leave of absence to attend to a personal matter.

LOL, what were you watching? They ran nothing but pick-and-rolls down the stretch, which is why Bosh kept switching onto Harden.

Having only perimeter players in the game when Wade was bricking FTs was egregious, though. Bosh skied over everyone for that rebound.

Down the stretch it was Harden with the ball at least 30 feet from the basket dribbling out the clock. At least 3 straight possessions starting from when Houston had a 5(?) point lead were Harden iso's. I remember he took a step back 3 and a blocked layup on 2 of those possessions.

Fair enough, I'd have to watch it again. I may've been too wrapped up in the game to notice. All I recall is in what seemed like every late game possession our commentators continually noting Bosh switching onto Harden, which is unusual because the Heat rarely switch pick-and-rolls.
