Anyone who watched the game or read the box score can figure out that Brian
Hill's main teaching points heading into Game 2 will be centered around one
simple fact: the Magic cannot commit anywhere close to 20 turnovers in Game 2
and expect to compete, much less win.
That they were competitive in Game 1 despite the 20 turnovers (and 18 missed
free throws) was largely the result of terrific perimeter shooting and an
overall tenacity that matched up well with the Pistons' clear lack of a
killer instinct. The Magic can not expect to hit on 58-plus percent of their
field goals again. To pull off a shocker in Game 2, I look for the following:
In order to limit turnovers, Orlando must either tighten up its handoff
action or scrap it. Detroit, especially Richard Hamilton, really pressed that
action and did not allow for the normally simple play to take place.
Grant Hill must put pressure on himself to make plays in transition that
result in baskets, not turnovers or deflections that result in out-of-bounds
plays. Hill was very loose with the ball. Some pass fakes, or just a second
of added patience, and the plays would have been made. The same can be said
for every other Magic player save Tony Battie, who was the only guy on the
team without a turnover.
Dwight Howard is the guy we expected to struggle in this area, and he did.
Look for Howard to face up more so he can see where the defenders are coming
from. He did this with some success in Game 1.
And Jameer Nelson needs to be more disciplined with his early possession
dribble drives, staying out of the deep paint, where the Detroit bigs are
waiting. As the possession develops, the post defenders are often more spread
out, giving Nelson more space to operate inside on his slashing moves.
Orlando must also play with more discipline on defense.
Darko Milicic must stay on the ground unless he has a very legitimate chance
to block a shot, because when he is too quick to jump or slide to contest a
shot he leaves his man too open next to the rim for the tip-in or easy
pass/dunk. When either Hill or Hedo Turkoglu is guarding Hamilton slashing to
the goal, the other Magic defenders need to "show and recover," forcing Rip
to finish over the much longer players and not letting him make easy passes
to wide-open teammates.
Offensively, I expect to see Orlando being more selective in who it runs wing
actions to, avoiding whomever Prince is guarding and attacking Hamilton. And
if the Pistons trap ball screens the way they did late in Game 1, having
Darko in the game is a plus over Battie due to his gift at making the
post-to-post pass to a sealed Howard inside.
The only change I see Detroit making is trying to create a little more chaos
defensively, anticipating Orlando's efforts at cleaning up its turnover
problems. The Pistons might pull some new traps and deny some areas that they
didn't on Saturday. They have beaten Orlando five straight times, so "same
ole, same ole" seems appropriate.
I do look for the Pistons to ramp up their energy and enthusiasm if they are
in a position to blow the game open, something they struggled with last
postseason and in Game 1. That, and some offensive discipline when up 10-plus
points, should get it done.
PREDICTION: Detroit wins Game 2
