Well, we’re coming back home for a Game 6. Let’s just hope that we get a few more breaks back at Amway Arena than we did last night up in Cleveland. I gotta watch myself, but that was kinda crazy.
Ya’ll can look at the TV and tell me what ya’ll saw. I’m straight up and down on that sixth foul against LeBron and he gets the whistle. I didn’t even touch Z on my third foul in the third quarter but they say I hit him on the elbow.
I’m not going to lie – I’m frustrated with the calls that we’ve gotten in this series, but I can’t let it take me away from my focus. I know there’s nothing that I can do about it and I just have to stay aggressive even when stuff like that is going against us. I can’t worry about these calls that just tend to be going against me and I have to play my game.
It should have never come down to that stuff last night if we would have started the game better. They were making shots, like 67 percent in the first quarter, and we just weren’t getting any tough stops. And on offense, we turned the ball over way too much and that just let to even more easy baskets for them.
We fought back again in that second quarter, took a nice lead in the third and we were right there in the fourth. But LeBron killed us making plays and again those turnovers led to too many run-outs for them.
We have to try something different on LeBron because it’s just too easy for him now. He’s catching it in the sweet spot and it’s one dribble to the basket for him. We have to make it more difficult for him and make him take tougher shots.
They defended their homecourt here at The Q, and now it’s on us as a team to do the same back at Amway. Our crowd will be loud and behind us and I know we’ll play better. This game does nothing to shake our confidence. As long as we defend better, move the ball, run and get a few breaks we still feel like we’re going to win this series. There’s a lot of work left to be done and it won’t be easy, but we’ll be ready to get that one on Saturday night. Believe that!!!
Holla at ya’ll Saturday at Amway. Bring the noise for us. — DWIGHT
