At this point, the bigger worry is Alex and Andy's complete inability to protect a lead.

Playoff time, I haven't seen a game where Smith/Reid weren't being aggressive on offense to try and win the game. It's like Reid is cautious about getting guys hurt during the regular season and likes to play it close but then it blows up in his face. In the houston playoff game, maclin got hurt when the game was well out of reach so I can see his side. But he's playing ultra conservative which is essentially playing to lose.
