mumbai you cannot fault reggie miller if he is shaking his head and saying i knew it the highpercentage shooting in the playoffs and the number of buzzer beaters have made it one of the most exciting series in recent memories miller was a shooter par excellence for indiana pacers or whom he played from 1987 to 2005 he has singlehandedly picked pacers from the dumps and delivered them into the nba finals losing to the might of kobe bryant and shaquille oneal miller feels this dimension had to raise its head from time to time i think this is a game for shooters the four teams remaining all of them live from behind the arc if youre a shooter if youre in high school or college start working on your form because you have a job at the next level for miller shooting brings the big men into focus as they will have a huge imprint on rebounding and points in the paint in both series chris webber who has played for many teams and has his number retired by sacramento kings feels the series goes beyond mere shooting if you look at these last teams in whats unique is that on everyone but houston you have big guys that can step out and shootif they cant shoot other teams can switch their lineups and have a mismatch defensively if youre not holding your weight offensively and defensively equally i think youll be out cleveland are the team that is worst hit by injuries kevin love has been ruled out of the entire season kyrie irwing suffered an injury during the conference semifinal against chicago bulls miller feels teams need luck though with a player like james you may only need four other guys on court to win championships you need talent and good coaching but a lot of luck goes into it as well that luck is staying healthy its a slight margin of error in terms of being lucky to win a championship its grueling and health will play a huge factor here webber is excited with so many different teams coming out of the playoff it shows how competitive guys are and i think it shows how much talent we have in the league right now i have to give credit to players and coaches for putting out their best i hope this will become a trend both miller and webber agree that the playoffs are a different ball game and it requires a team and player to play at a much higher level i dont count what happened during the regular seasoni dont think you can take anything from it except for looking at tape and exploring tendencies webber said its a brand new series in the playoffs you can kind of throw out regular season games because youre not game planning for a series you play one game and move on feels miller
