zone defense, the heats achilles heel?

[cman88]

it was Dallas' switch to the zone in the finals that was the turning point in them beating the Heat in 6 games.

Then you look at tonight, and we had no right in even being that close. but once again doc switches to zone defense and the Heat stall allowing us to get back in it...then we spread the floor with allen/dooling(much like dallas did with kidd and deshaqn stevenson)

I think we've got to commmit to the zone against the Heat for a full game. you clearly cant play man and let them go iso on you. but the difference in this heat team's offense once we switched to zone was totally different...

Zone, or otherwise having a clogged paint.

I think the zone favors the C's more than a big center would against Miami. C's need all the scoring they can get and going small helps that more than a pedestrian center would.

Defensive 3 second  call on the Celtics. [any chosen NBA team] shoots one.

We couldn't do it before because our bigs weren't as athletic. But we definitely have the athletic pieces (KG, Bass, Wilcox) to play it.
