And here where I call bullshyt on that. Bosh scored in the single digits for the 2nd time this series I think. This guy avg'd 16 a game I believe. He had 7 tonight. That's a 9 pt difference. Wade avg'd 21 for the season. Dude had 10 tonight. 14 last game. And while he's been efficient, you can't tell that he's not all there athletically. Is it due to being injured? Is it regression of his game? I talked about his regressions at length with @
Malta last season in the playoffs when Westbrook was frying him.
I was mainly referring to role players like Battier and Allen who have just not been able to hit shots AT ALL this series. Them two are a lot better shooters than anyone on those cavs teams, they just havent been hitting this series (and kinda all playoffs even though they didnt really need to hit those against MIL and CHI).
Wade and Bosh are whole 'nother story. Wades reason for lack of production is a bit unknown right now, and although some of it can definitely be attributed to him getting older and losing speed, my guess is his injury is a lot worse than the team is letting on and he gets some more surgery in the offseason.
As for Bosh, I blame his lack of production on the Pacers D, him not being aggressive enough, and on poor game planning by Spoelstra. They're gonna need to make a concerted effort to get Bosh involved in the offense early if they wanna beat the Spurs.
Overall though, even though the production isn't matching the potential, this Heat team >>>> any team the Cavs had.
