Will the Heat make adjustments that makes Daniels less effective?

If so, will Doc go with new personnel or make some other counter-adjustment that makes Quis more effective or exploit some weakness created by trying to nullify what Daniels can contribute?  Or would Doc just stick to his initial game plan and not make any changes until Game 5?

After Pierce, KG, and Rondo, I'd say that Marquis may be our 4th best option at creating his own offense right now.  That is something we've sorely missed when any combination of KG, Pierce, and Rondo go to the bench.

I like Dooling and Pietrus as players, but their offensive games are very predictable which makes them very easy to guard after seeing them a few times in a 7 game series.  That probably is why the 2 of them have COMBINED for 10+ points only TWICE all playoffs while averaging a combined 28mpg.

Like others have said, Marquis brings some unpredictability, defense, and energy to our lineup when things are working for him.  I hope to see him out there, particularly when Pierce comes to the bench.

Definitely, I think Daniels should play in Game 4, we need some help from the bench and Marcus played very well in Game 3.

If he doesn't play then it's proof that Doc doesn't watch game tape.  Daniels bothered LeBron on D and got us some points.   I thought he belonged on the court in the fourth some more.

At this point i think Quisy should be moved up past Petey on the depth chart. I love Petey but I dont think he has been helping us much this series. His and Quisy play similar defense and i would give Daniels another shot to see if he could repeat his performance.

Are you serious? Quisy? Petey? Are you on the team or something. If you said that to any of these guys faces they'd laugh in your face and tell you to get a life.
