Where's Riley's head at?
I mean, yeah I said it! The great coach has his mind stuck somewhere else everytime he chooses to put Walker in the game. Walker's errant play has repeatedly cost the Heat games( last night's game against the Nets is an example.) One thing that baffles me is why Riley continues to gamble with "Tippy-toe" when he has an efficient and capable player like Wayne Simien on the bench.
Simien not only is efficient, but he also plays like a veteran. But if there's one thing Riley doesn't like to do, it's play rookies. If he were the coach two years ago, Udonis Haslem would not be the player that he is today because he'd get no playing time.
Walker takes way too many threes at all the wrong times. And the only time he makes them is when they don't make a difference in the game. I know I'm not the only fan who secretly prays for the worst possible (non-life threatening) freak accident to happen to Walker that would force Riley to bench him the rest of the season. It's inexplicable as to why Riley has not made the adjustment and kept Walker out of the game.
What would it take to get tippy-toe out of the heat's rotation? I'm taking suggestions.....
