Wow...
FYI Sheed will more than likely never be playing alongside Perkins. I don't see how anyone could think differently. Haven't you been beaten over the head enough with Sheed not being about to move to understand it?
I suggest getting used to Doc doing things that work out but, that might not be the best idea to some 'fans'.
That's just once side of the coin. The amount of damage Davis has been inflicting on our offense was not outweighting his positives in the defense, which weren't much at all.
In particular Baby was for the most part the one responsible for letting the Heat get back in the game in the 1st quarter after we came out with a great start.
And I don't mind Perkins and Sheed playing together much, particularly at the start of the game, Perkins is dang good pick and roll defender, and both of them protect the basket fairly well. Davis' advantage is with his speed, but with tall and mobile PF's, he can be taken advantage off. Thankfully, Beasley isn't playing to his capabilities.
In all, if the ball movement had been as it should, we would've had a great lead in the 1st quarter and the rest would've been history. The proof is in the 3rd quarter when finally the ball movement was as it should.
I would have zero problem with Baby if he would just pass the freaking ball, but there are still too many stretches where he dominates the ball unnecessarily, and it hurts the team greatly.
He could pass the pass out of the post a bit more from time to time but, you blowing it of proportion IMO. Too each his own though. It certainly doesn't hurt them greatly since they won by 30 and he was the main reason why...
Well, he had a great game. That's the key, game, because he's fully capable of doing good out there, particularly when he plays within himself, which this year hasn't been often. And he wasn't the main reason why. The main reason why was the team finally finding Ray Allen who was open the whole game, and Rajon Rondo's disruptive defense in the perimeter, one of his best defended games in my opinion. But surely, overall, Davis had a big impact in it.
His 1st quarter was a disaster, luckily for us he turned it around. Coming to the game, it was my concern for this type of play that I didn't like the decision of him starting, because when he's doing that, our offense is a disaster... our ball movement stops, Ray and Pierce stop touching the ball, and more importantly they fall out of rhythm.
In the 2nd half he did a much better job finding his spots and not forcing stuff, and moving the ball.
But the inconsistency is still there, and when he's off it really really hurts us because of the amount of touches he's getting.
