Yeah Boris Diaw is pretty underrated too but that way Tayshaun played in regular season I would say hes move overrated than anything. He stepped his game up in the playoffs but wasnt consistent enough to bring it when we really needed it on the road and thats why we're fishin instead of still playing. Tayshaun was the X-Factor of that series for us and game 6 we got nothing from him so I would put him more on the overrated side. Haslem and Walker from Miami are both pretty underrated IMO.

Tayshaun?? Overrated?? He may have underacheived at times, but I wouldn't call him overrated. Ppl need to take into account Tayshaun's role on the team. He's the 4th option and pretty much the 1st/2nd only when he's hot or has a mismatch or when things go wrong and we get desperate, which is what happened in this year's playoffs. That's not fair for a talent like that. Notice our biggest problem in the playoffs was our ball movement and inability to score. We got desperate and went to Tay and he came through for us.
Please, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even have gotten past the 2nd round. Our OTHER players like the all stars on the team, weren't there when we needed them most. Tay struggles when we don't move the ball. Those games where he sucked, it was alot of one on one so it's not like Tay was shooting the ball all that much, and when he did those were the best shots he can get. Addmitt it dtop, going one on one has been our problem when the offense goes stagnant and Tay normally isn't involved because, again he's the 4th option. Don't get me wrong tho, he could've done better but when we go one on one, it doesn't give Tay the opportunity to get a good shot, so he ends up settling. That also goes for everyone else on the team because it's normally our guards chucking up the shots because they keep it in their hands and everyone struggles.
