Heat game

[DJessen33@aol.com]

This game should take the edge off of the boo-birds, at least as far as 
Walker is concerned. People will still boo him, just to be stupid, but Walker 
will always know, in the back of his mind, that he had the stuff to shut them 
up before and could do it again. A pivotal moment in his development...The 
Celts played well overall especially since they were playing 4 on 5 (more on 
this in a minute). If Battie could just hit those many short, baseline 
jumpers that I know he can hit and Pierce could shoot his normal percentage, 
this game would have been close throughout. In the NBA, if you get an open 
shot within your range and you are a veteran, you pretty much nail it every 
time. The C's are so young, they just don't hit the open shot consistently. 
The Heat hit just about every open shot. We will be there in time. That is 
why we need to keep this team together except for Anderson and Barros... The 
biggest problem on offense right now is that Barros is such a detrement to 
the team. He just kills the offense. In how many pick and rolls has he missed 
the open pick guy? Anytime Barros has the ball in the half-court set, unless 
he is shooting, you can forget about us scoring that time down.  On Jones's 
first play, he hit the open pick guy on the pick and roll. It was like we had 
never seen that executed before. Tommy about had a heart attack. If we can 
just get him to stop thinking he is the first option, we got a player. It's 
just unbelievable that a CBA player can come in and have better fundamentals 
than our two point guards, and plays great defense...Vitally continued to 
show he is a real center...As for Walker, what need anybody say? He let his 
play do the talking...
