If any of your guys saw the Miami game in which Miami was beaten by the game winning shot by Rudy Gay?
I was at a local Chili's @ Edmonton and witnessing the final 8 minutes in the 4th quarter, while talking to my friends.
I knew if Memphis had their competitive juices flowing in them, they were going to give Miami a really hard time with their own young Gunz of M.Gasol, Gay, Mayo, and Conely.
As a Raptor Fan, there was one thing I really want to focus on in Miami's play was the PF coverage of Chris Bosh on Zach Randolph.
I was just taking pleasure of watching Bosh blow his rebounding assignments in boxing out the bigger and hungrier Zach Randolph. If the Heat were getting burned by Randolph by the lack of box-out by Bosh, why was there no Defensive sub for Bosh if he gets worn out by Randolph? Where's Haslem?
The answer was because Haslem tore his ligament in his left foot in the 3rd quarter. Sucks to be a Miami fan now. Their hardest working player that I, myself, had a lot of respect for and always liked to see will be out till February. That meant Bosh has to be the closing PF to cover "strong" PF players that love to grab boards and have bodies and cabooses that can box out twigs like Bosh. I will show you the events of Bosh when matched up with Randolph.
The two Centers that are paired with Bosh are (Juwan Howard, opening) and Big-Z (Ilgauskas, closer)
The key events that occurred in the game that led to the winning Gay shot (ya I know it kinda sounds wrong)

Randolph wins the rebounding and box-out battle by a score of 14 - 2 against Bosh.
Raptors might dumped out one of their problems in the lack of effort for clutch rebounding in the 4th qtr.
Pat Riley is pissed, especially that there will be no committed rebounder on the team that fights for loose balls now.
They will have to send in Erika Dampier now and go probably above the tax to sign a vets minimum.
Miami right now has no true committed rebounder. They will make the playoffs, but they will have no athletic enough blue collar player to help them win any rebounding battles in the future consistently.
