“Since Kevin wasn’t in there, they didn’t want to double on the post,” stated Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen after their 106-77 blow out victory over the Miami Heat in Game 2. “D-Wade was chasing more than he had to chase in Game 1. There was one time where I had gone a couple of times back and forth. He chased me, but when he got back down on his offensive side he kind of caught his breath. He was sitting down there catching his breath. So whatever we do, just keep him moving so he doesn’t have as much energy on the offensive end. That’s what we’ve got to continue to do. Sometimes I’m just as tired. But the difference is I have other guys on the team that are going to take shots and make big plays for us. And he’s the guy that they really rely on 80-90 percent of the time.”
