Archive Heat Offense: It is hard to win a playoff game when you have 19 turnovers. It is even harder to win when your best player has nine of them. Dwyane Wade had five turnovers in Game 1, and he is averaging seven per game. He has to know that the Detroit defense is predicated on stopping him. He must limit spin dribbles, be more alert on drives and make the simple passes. Shaquille O'Neal needs to get the ball more. Late in the game with the Heat down only six, Miami settled for two, 3-point shots and Shaq never touched the ball. This is unacceptable. Except for a period early in the third quarter where Shaq went into a funk, the Pistons have not proved that they can stop him when he gets deep position. In addition, Miami must utilize some alternative offensive other than just throwing Shaq the ball in the left box. If they used some misdirection off of the middle, side pick-and-rolls to get him down into the paint, or utilize Shaq as a duck in man after an Antoine Walker side pick-and-pop, they might be able to mix up the looks that Ben Wallace must deal with and get him in deeper post up position. The Heat need to take advantage of what the Pistons are doing when they run middle isolations or pick-and-rolls for Wade. The Pistons are zoning up from the corner men and protecting against Wade's drives. This opens up the possibilities for the Heat to back cut from the corners for layups or lobs. The Heat need their complementary players to step up in Game 3. Wade and Shaq combined to shoot 20-for-36 (55 percent) in Game 2, however the rest of the supporting cast of Jason Williams, Walker, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Udonis Haslem and James Posey were an abysmal 11-for-37 (29 percent) for the game. The Heat will not beat the Pistons without four or five guys stepping up each game and getting their jobs done. Heat Defense: Miami looked flat with a lack of defensive energy in Game 2. You cannot win in the playoffs if you lose the hustle game and the Heat did just that. They got beat to loose balls, offensive rebounds and on second chance points. The Heat must decide what they're going to do with the Tayshaun Prince matchup in Game 3. He torched the Miami defense for an easy 24 points and was all over the offensive glass with six rebounds. Walker is better suited to guard Rasheed Wallace than shadowing Prince, but making that adjustment that would force Pat Riley to sit Haslem and play Posey on Prince. Walker has not been able to take advantage of Prince offensively, thus Riley might be forced to change his strategy with this matchup. Riley played Mourning together with Shaq in the second half to bring more toughness to their frontline, but Zo struggled to guard Rasheed. Zo cannot move quick enough to blitz and get back to Rasheed on Detroit's pick-and-rolls. He was always one step late and Sheed scored nine straight points during that matchup. The Heat utilized a 2-3 zone at times during Game 2. It was effective. Look for them to use it again in the series. The zone slowed down Detroit, made them stand around and shoot jump shots. If the Heat use this defense again they must do a much better job boxing out in the zone. Pistons Offense: The Pistons got back to what got them here. They stopped the standing around and one-on-one play from Game 1 and had much more ball and player movement. Look for the Pistons to continue to move the slower Heat players, and reverse the ball side to side for dribble penetration and pick-and-rolls. The Pistons utilized Richard Hamilton more in Game 2. They need to keep running him off more single and double pin downs. Defensively the Heat are having Shaq and Haslem show up and take away the curls from Rip. However this opens up options for the Pistons' big men. When the Pistons are running screening action for Hamilton, look for them to pop Rasheed to the corner after he sets screens. If his man helps on the pops or curls he will not be able to get to Rasheed after he helps. In addition, they might throw a lob from the point guard to Sheed if the Miami bigs help and show up too much. Watch the Pistons continue to work the Williams matchup. He played 26 minutes in Game 2 and they should exploit him as much as possible in pick-and-rolls and post ups for Chauncey Billups when he is in. In addition, look for the Pistons to run pick-and-rolls with Billups and whoever Shaq is guarding. They started Game 2 with a middle pick-and-roll for Billups against the Shaq matchup. I also like what the Pistons are doing by setting two pick-and-rolls against the Heat. They start with a middle pick-and-roll to create a blitz and movement, then they let the dribbler veer out to the side line and attack with another side pick-and-roll. This double pick-and-roll taxes the Heat blitz and help schemes, especially with Shaq in the game. The Pistons should work a little on their zone offense before Game 3. They settled for way too many jumpers against the zone. They need to move the ball better from side to side and find a way to get some dribble penetration and an inside attack against the zone. Pistons Defense: The Pistons were much more aggressive in Game 2 and it showed in the stat sheet. Except for the last 1:37 of the fourth quarter where they allowed the Heat to score 17 points, the Pistons shut down the Heat offensively. Ben Wallace sets the tone for the Pistons. His physical play versus Shaq, his bumping and grinding in the post and his willingness to give up his body on charges energized the Pistons all night. In Game 2, the Pistons held the Heat to only 56 points through three periods. The Pistons choked down the middle better in Game 2. They came off the corners and wings in most of Miami's isolations and pick-and-rolls, limiting Wade's attack on the rim and his overall effectiveness. The Pistons still need to improve their pick-and-roll defense. Their bigs do not do a good enough job hedging, stopping the ball and allowing penetration, especially when it is Wade. Flip Saunders utilized his bench earlier and deeper in Game 2. Even though his bench players did not score any points, their defense and rebounding provided a much needed rest for some of the starters. Saunders utilized Carlos Delfino against Wade in Game 2 because he is trying to give Wade different looks, similar to what he did against LeBron James in the last series. Pick: Heat in seven. -- 生活 就是要浪费在美好的事物上 --
