With BVP out and Carter questionable (?) this is the Mark Sears show. This is the game that can put him back up there with Rollins in the POY race.
Must, must, must, have a good game tonight. More importantly, he must make good decisions with the basketball.
If both those guys are out, it’s going to take a lot more than a good game out of Sears. Miami is playing maybe their best all season right now, with most of their injured players back I think. We’re going to need several players to really step up with career games,
Agreed, but without a good performance from Sears I don't think the role players will be able to provide enough to make up for it.
We're at the point in the season where we are going to need some role guys to shut us up and ball out.
I preface this with the fact that I truly realize JC and BVP are keys to us winning and are amazing players...
But....
Sometimes, when you see ballstoppers out for a team, you get better ball movement and you get guys who step up naturally because they finally have the ball in their hands. You saw it from Miles on Saturday. You can see IJ getting comfortable. Olumide looks better and better.
Once again, in the long run, WE NEED BVP and JC, but for this game, I don't mind seeing how OUr guys do without the two Super Duper Seniors crabdribbling for 10 seconds a pop. I am more optimistic than some for tonight if Boals gives the BVP and JC keys to IJ, AJ, Tommy and Olumide for a bit.
