Went to a Heat-Hawks game Wednesday night and THE WORST GAME I'VE EVER SEEN broke out.
The retinas still burn. If there were two hours I could have back in my life, I'd take those two.
Just a few observations because I'd like to forget that game as soon as humanly possible.
1. I ABSOLUTELY get what Shaq is saying. He has a good 2 1/2 quarters, then never touches the ball again unless he gets an offensive rebound. Don't know if that's the play calling (that would be my guess) or just the guards not looking for him, but if they find Shaq in that game at any point in the fourth quarter, it's a Heat win. Then he gets pulled in the final 1:49 for defense, when he was playing some of the best defense he has played all year (SEVEN BLOCKS).
2. What in the world is up with Jason Williams? He plays only 26 minutes while Penny (no offense to him, of course, because he played well for some stretches) plays 38 minutes!?!?!?!?! I know Jason was 0 of 4 from the field, but he had four assists, zero turnovers and runs the offense sooooooooooo much better than Smu...(it's hard to even type the rest. Let's just call him No. 21).
The only thing that comes to mind as a reason is Riley is saving Jason's legs because he's trying to trade him. Andre Miller's name has come up, which I think would be a bad idea because Miller doesn't exactly stretch the floor with his shooting. Plus, what exactly has Jason done wrong? When Dwyane was out, he was the team's best player. Mind-boggling, really.
3. With 51 seconds left in third quarter, No. 21 enters game, the Heat is leading 66-56. With 6:03 left in the game, Smush exits a 71-71 tie. Any geniuses want to figure that one out?
4. Daequan Cook, anyone?
I would say Happy Thanksgiving, but I'm guessing anyone who watched that game has already decided not to eat Thanksgiving dinner, for fear memories of the game will simply make them vomit. Me, I'm taking a forget-me-now (Arrested Development reference) and hoping the food stays down.
