Something he was too scared to do himself!

It’s just stupid – every defensive gameplan in the league (against the Heat) is about making Wade and Lebron take outside jumpers, and Wade+Lebron seem all too happy to oblige….
Erik Spoelstra needs to try something different in his offense. Post Lebron a bit more. Run more pick and rolls, where the roller actually tries driving when coming around the pick, rather than just dribbling around and seeing what happens…
Here are the facts…the Heat really need Bosh b/c otherwise the ball never seems to go into the paint. Both Lebron and Wade are just perimeter passers/shooters right now.
The last thing, which in my opinion is completely the coach’s fault, is the Heats ridiculous habit of waiting for the shot clock to hit 7 seconds before making a play. I never understood this and never will. They should set up and start their offense as soon as they get down the floor. If the shot comes with 10-12 seconds left on the clock, there’s no problem with that, as long as it’s a good shot and it’s in the offense.
