(this looks awfully familiar)
Or as Johnson might’ve said to Josh Howard in the locker room, “do as I mean, not as I signal.” There’s no better way to distract from yet another sick showing by Dwyane Wade than to analyse Dallas’ communication breakdown in the final seconds of overtime. The Dallas Morning News’ Eddie Sefko caught an earful from Johnson during the postgame press conference, and if Eddie’s job wasn’t totally dependent on maintaining some rapport with the coach, he might well have replied, “hey, it isn’t my fault you didn’t make it clear to Josh Howard when you wanted a T.O.”
Chris Webber , however, isn’t off the hook. This was only the 3rd biggest Time Out-related blunder in recent memory. Chris X. Brodeur’s open letters to Mike Wolf are a close 2nd
Avery should be more worried about his hack a shaq strategy. Sure, Shaq might miss free throws but I think in balance it plays into Miami’s hands. It slows the tempo, allows the Heat to get in the penalty earlier and get back on defense after foul shots. A slow game keeps the Mavs from exploiting one on one matchups with Terry-Williams and Howard -Walker.
