6 Thoughts
1) Look, this is a bad Spurs team to begin with without Ginobili, and Tony Parker only played one quarter before spraining his ankle. Still, Miami was up 15 when Parker got hurt, and against a bad team that that they should beat, they didn't have any trouble at all, even on the road. Decent sign, and the first road win of the year.
2) Wade, again, overwhelmed an opponent athletically: 33 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 steals.
3) Mike Beasley, for the first time, realized the other team couldn't guard him. Made 20 footers. Called for the ball against Tim Duncan and made a fallaway over him. Turned and faced Duncan and drove by him for a score. Put the ball on the floor and looked for contact - walked to the line and made 10-10. 20 points in three quarters before sitting out most of the fourth. Also active on the defensive end with 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Something seemed a little wrong with him when he limped off after the third, but he did come back to play a couple minutes late.
4) When Chris Quinn hits 5 out of 6 threes against you, you probably aren't winning that game.
5) Bruce Bowen, go home and pray that Dancing with the Stars calls. It's over. And bring Kurt Thomas with you.
6) Kudos to Plumber's Nets getting a win against Detroit, and especially a 38 point explosion by Devin Harris. 24 free throws - Wadetacular!
