No true bigs off the bench = got destroyed on the boards. 50 to 33. With Wood out, at least one big needs to come off the bench, don't care who it is or what their name is. Martin is like a pseudo big at times, can rebound with his leaping ability... But he's not a true big obviously. Tough to win when you get out rebounded by that huge of a margin.
In baseball, all fans want is an even strike zone. If it's going to be bad, bad for both teams. Basketball is considered the other sport difficult to officiate but what drags the game down is so fixable. Fiba did it. It's obvious when a player drives and gets fouled. It shouldn't be objective. It's also obvious when a player drives and purposely seeks a defender to make contact.
That was nice of him to come out and support the Heat....I mean Rockets John Wall is a swell guy. Franchise centerpiece even.
