Halftime Adjustments

As the interminable halftime drones on, what I'd be looking for in the second half:

Just some more shutting off of Bryant to the hoop. When he's got the ball crossing halfcourt, he's thinking getting to the basket. They need to slow him down a little bit. They don't need to junk the defense, just tighten it up a little bit.

They need more flow on offense, but really, they need Pierce and Garnett to take good shots and make them. That's it.

Down 6, 24 minutes to go. A win tonight -- still within reach despite a bad first half -- would be so, so, so big. Let's go get 'em.
