All Steamer did was have the 3rd highest Efficiency Rating on our team, but played the 7th most minutes.  He played a solid first half and did he even play in the second half??  Why Doc??  Why??? 

Why did we not see Sasha sooner as well?  Why Doc?  Why??

The Heat were coasting right through the paint in the second half...Not having a big in the middle to at least attempt to alter shots hurt us significantly. Steamah would have at least helped a little bit at times, but probably just would have fouled out of the game with the refs out there tonight.

I agree on this one. Just like game 6 of the last series. Game 5 he goes out and is 5-5 off the bench and played solid and then not one minute in a game 6 loss. Make them stop the guy first before making an adjustment and going with someone else...

Who cares if he fouls out??  He should have played more, period.

There have been other games in the playoffs where Stiemsma has played in the first half then not played in the second half because his foot was bothering him.  I suspect we're going to hear some medical reports about him after the season which were not being disclosed to make it harder for the enemy to prepare.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Sometimes Steamer tells doc he can't play due to his feet. I'm not sure Doc is able to play him as many minutes as he would like to.

I have liked Steamer's finishing when he gets the ball down low. If only KG could still do that.

I think with Steamer's lack of playoff experience, we should probably be happy with good effort and hustle and a few points and blocks.  He is injured too, and I would think that will impact his minutes til next year.

I was happy to see him be aggressive with the ball down low.  I like it when our bigs hold the ball high and make a quick move to score.  It seems like when we get too cute with the multiple fakes underneath is when the block party starts for the other team.
