Wurider05 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think that Woody may give West more PT in the series against the Heat. He is the only one quick enough to make Wade work on offense. Now where those minutes are going to come from remains a mystery but this kid has got to get some pt. I say 10-15 minutes a night. Hell shave 3 minutes from JJ, Bibby, Flip, and Evans and that will get you 12 minutes right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 He could definately change the flow of the game, but when Wade wants to take over a game . . . . . forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hawks have had some success against Wade, but I do think that if Wade starts to heat up Woody should throw Mario at him to try and change things. Great team defense is pretty much all that can slow Wade when he gets going, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get PT from Woody. Woody has played him against other good scorers. Wade cant be stopped tho but West would just be a pest out there and try and slow him down a bit. Plus he has 6 fouls to give Edited April 14, 2009 by r3drumNYNJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Plus he seems to pick up the team's energy to another level. Energizes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusBoyIsBack Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) He would foul out by the halfway point of the quarter. Wade would get EVERY call vs someone like Mario West in a playoff series Edited April 14, 2009 by BusBoyIsBack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhawksfan Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Woodson should tell rio to play him as well as possible WITHOUT fouling him. Tough order, but if you really want to benefit from rio's D, you can't have him out there sending Wade to the line for twelve FTs. Put him in for spurts, when Wade turns it on, and let him play good, tough D, with a minimum of fouls. Let the team D do the rest. Miami doesn't have much if you stop DW.

Moderators AHF Posted April 15, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 If he files him or not he will still get called for the foul. So have West play some D and hammer Wade when he goes in the lane so at least he will earn the fouls (which we all know are coming when anyone breaths on Wade). I do think the Hawks switching D is actually a good thing against Wade, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami doesn't have much if you stop DW. exactly....play him in spurts to try to slow wade down or at least frustrate him...but west already gets bad calls on him due to not being known, with him playing wade its going to be really difficult.
