Celtics (24-8) at Heat (17-15) 1/6

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Perks offense is wayyyy better than ever, he makes a lot of good moves, finishes well, and dunks at the right time also...!

[Drucci]

[dang], Wade gets freebies on every possession, this is getting ridiculous!

[Fafnir]

If Wade keeps this up, we will lose.

I think we'll be okay. The Heat are their scariest when Wade is off the ball.

I should say off the ball and moving aggressively. It makes them very difficult to stop offensively.

Fortunately D-Wade is allergic to not having the ball in his hands.

If Beasley is gonna go 2-7 Wade needs the ball in his hands.

Wade dominating works when he's hot, but if he starts missing his jumper or doesn't get calls they're dead. If the Heat move the ball they have a chance no matter how he shoots.

this is Wade-ville.....maybe the refs are staying with wade later on..!

why is ray still guarding Wade??!!!!  Doc is awful at ingame adjustments. Although, it was obvious before the game that Ray shouldn't be guarding him, but still..

Who is Ray supposed to guard, and who should guard Wade?

So you are saying Ray is a liability?

I'm asking the poster what other conceivable line up should be used to guard Wade. I didn't say anything about Ray's defense.

If you want my opinion, Ray is obviously a liability at the 2 spot, he doesn't have the lateral quickness to guard quick 2s anymore.

That is why, in a different thread, I said Ray should be the 6th man and Tony should start.

So you want to cut Ray Allen's minutes for Tony? Otherwise I don't see how bringing Ray Allen off the bench helps us too much. He's still going to be matched on Wade roughly the same amount of time.

3 Fouls in 9 minutes for Tony.

wow Perkins, that's a man's move and a great first half

[Change]

U dam right Sheed. Ball don't lie. SuperStar FT's 11 so far.

[scoop]

We're shooting above 62% from the field, the Heat 48%. We have 18 FTM, they have 9. We have 3 triples, they have 2.

If it wasn't for turnovers and rebounding, we'd have a 15-20 points lead by now.

It's true. Wade gets some crazy calls.

Sit Ray if you have to.  Put Pierce or Tony Allen on D-Wade.  At this rate I don't care how good Ray Allen is on offense, he won't be good enough to warrant being on the court if he is guarding Wade.

You'd have to sit him then, because Pierce would be worse on Wade in every aspect other than in the post. (especially with him working his way back from injury)

I disagree with you on Ray's value on offense. He makes our offense go almost as much as Rondo!

Um, with Rondo out their offense didn't move.  With Rondo in they took the lead.

He missed his last two but Miami got the offensive board and the Wade's 3... not a good way to end the half but I will take our 3 point lead.

I would like to see a better D in the second half, especially since Beasley has been quiet so far (foul trouble).

Great first half from Rondo and Perk!

I have to mention that the Heat announcers are pretty cool to listen to, it's rare but it's good when it happens. They are passionate but don't scream in their mics, they know the game and what happens around the league well, and they are quite unbiased and don't hesitate to cheer on the opposing team. I like the Heat as a team and their announcers are really nice too.
