While Josh was the 4th leading scorer last night, his play in the second really put the nail in the coffin. I am specifically referring to his numerous 'take'em' plays followed by mid range jump shots. He gives this team a dimension last year's team didn't have. No question Arch's and Jenkins shooting was unbelievable and Oche was dominate in the paint. But eventually a team figures out how to stop it the 3 ball (or shooters go cold). So just about the right point in the game, Josh's 1-on-1 plays and pull up jumpers were unleashed and Miami had no answer. His only glitch was the missed bunnie lay-up followed by his 4th foul. But Miami missed the 1-and-1 and the romp was back on track. I just love his ability to break down his man 1-on-1 style.
The multi-pronged Offensive attack from 3-land, mid range and Oche's post-up play is really hard to stop.
Finally credit to Jay and the D for completely shutting down Rodriguez in the second half. Outside of that great 3-ball he was a non-factor. I honestly don't know what happened there. I guess credit our D but Miami did some strange this in the second half. Larranga often took Rodriguez off the ball and buried him in the corner, Then he had him on bench at many crucial points of the game.
