Not a great 1st quarter but up 1 heading into the 2nd.

[ijspeelman]

I need to stop worrying about it, but Ty Jerome is playing himself out of our ability to pay him. It may have already been like that, but if he's gonna be this good in the playoffs, we can't keep unless he just wants to stick around

[ijspeelman]

Spo tried to stop the Cavalanche with a timeout and he just prolonged the inevitable

[JujitsuFlip]

Much better 2nd quarter, everyone was hitting.

[ijspeelman]

Heat have to fight tooth and nail to keep the game within 20

[JujitsuFlip]

Not a great 3rd quarter, just gotta finish strong here.

[ijspeelman]

The three has somewhat abandoned us and made this game somewhat interesting

[ijspeelman]

Its more than somewhat interesting.

Heat defense has us completely bewildered and they are hitting a bunch of their shots.

2 point game, Cavs, 4:15 remaining

[JujitsuFlip]

Garland is limping, sub him out.

[ijspeelman]

Didn't love the 4th quarter and that it got within 2, but we got the dub and got to see some playoff Mitchell in the process

I am still a little worried going hero ball, but he was so hot its hard to complain too much

My same take away, can't stop running the offense just because you get up 19 points.

The way opposing teams are allowed, and I mean allowed to foul Allen is a problem. At this points, it's probably a problem Allen needs to address himself.

Need. More. Mobley.

Need. More. Mobley.

The next step in his development is going to come from using his speed/quickness to finish before the defender can respond and help can arrive. He's still a little too deliberate. He still brings the ball down before going up. If you go up while the defender is out of position, the chances of getting a foul call increase dramatically.

One adjustment I'd like to see is have Wade match as many of those Jovic mintues as possible. I like that matchup better than one of our small guys trying to check him.

If Merrill is going to keep seeing 20 or more mpg, I'd like to see him get a few more shot attempts to help stretch the defense.

Wow, i thought the 11 threes in the 2nd quarter was a franchise record. No, it is a NBA record for most 3s made in a single playoff quarter
