How did we 'lose control' of the Miami game?

[HAWKS1986]

Chillz.

ZaZa.

This is the type of game that they need to have a 'breakout' game offensively.. For these guys to play nearly 40 minutes..barely getting double digits with minimal FG attempts is not a good sign..

And Shelden (4 pts) and Lo (o points) looked 'weak' out there (too many layups allowed)..SOMEONE GOT TO DELIVER A HARD FOUL OR TWO...

we didn't lose control, we never had control of this game. that's the problem, chill and zaza basically had to create their own shots which isn't giong to happen against a pat riley coached team. once again our point guards let us down. on one end of the court you have jason williams bouncing passes straight to james posey in stride to get easy scores and on the other end you have tyron lue dribbling the ball into submission before finally giving the ball to someone else to put up a contested shot.

Agreed. The point guard situation on this team is still a mess. Point guard is not as important on teams with numerous players that create their own shot and get to the hoop, but the Hawks do not have those types of players making the position all the more critical. Smoove, Marvin and Childress would all be better players with a good point guard.
