Odom is my guy, but he is another guy who plays like a non-factor on the road. He got shut down in New Orleans by P.J., and tonight again by FOSTER.
One can only DREAM of Jermaine O'Neal going up for 13 points & 7 boards. I DREAMED of that. It came true...but unfortunately, Jamaal Tinsley had the game of his life, including pickup games at age 12. I'm not surprised at Artest busting loose, he's a great player and highly UNDERrated.
Dwyane Wade is the only guy who consistently plays well, home or away..although like any other player, every now and then he isn't going to light the place up. Caron looks like he can do it too, when healthy and when he actually takes his open shots.
It's funny because the one thing that frustrates me about Wade's game = the shots that he DOESN'T take.
Point is, if the Heat want to have a chance in this series, they are going to have to take one on the road. I think tonight was our biggest chance to steal one, and as Indiana gets back the feel for the game...they're only going to get better. We can win all of our home games, but we no longer hold the home court advantage "ticket".
Like I said, all I want is 1 or 2 wins...that would make me happy. We're a young team on the rise very fast, and all we need is ONE big man. I would run down the street butt boongy neked if Charlotte took Eddie Jones in the expansion draft. That would give us the cap space for Erick Dampier. :up:
