Segment 1: How the West wasn't won With the Heat's season-longest seven-game trip essentially broken into West (Denver, Sacramento, Los Angeles), Midwest (Minnesota, Milwaukee) and Southwest (Houston, Oklahoma City) segments, some thoughts after Segment I: In order to sustain anything beyond this dance around .500, true height must be acquired. Not phony shot-blocking height (Joel Anthony), foul-prone height (Jamaal Magloire) or 3-point height (Mark Blount). One has to wonder if Anthony's days as a starting center aren't drawing to a close. Interesting phrasing by Erik Spoelstra after Michael Beasley scored 23 points against the Lakers, with the first-year coach noting, "He just really needs to get bigger, not size wise, but play bigger and block out and really get on the glass and help us out." For all Beasley did with his 12 consecutive points in the fourth quarter Sunday, none of those points, beyond an alley-oop dunk, came in the paint. That needs to be the next step. Point guard continues as a position of concern. Mario Chalmers again is playing like a rookie. Sunday he was scoreless in nine minutes, with twice as many combined fouls and turnovers (four) as assists. As much as utilizing Dwyane Wade as the primary ballhandler allows for more minutes for Daequan Cook and even Beasley, Sunday's harassment from Kobe Bryant shows how much of a toll such an assignment can exact, with Wade 4 of 13 from the field in the second half. This team needs a veteran playmaker. ============================================================================== 其實這些Daily的文章都是西斯專欄一位叫Ira的寫的 因為是專欄所以寫的蠻中肯的 才轉過來給大家看一看 英文都蠻簡單 所以別想叫我翻譯 看外電 學英文 --
