Beal is a much better scorer, but I don't see Beal as an answer, especially at $50/M a season.

Maybe Beal is now, but probably not in 3 years when 27 year-old Herro makes $33,000,000 and 34 year-old Beal has a player option for $57,128,610.

In the positive note, we are still not capitalizing. And we lost game 3 by? A guy that came from freakin bench and it went 7/8....

Need to send UD to give him that Hansborough treatment….

If our leaders can’t get focused and come in with high energy in a game 3 of the nba finals, we have no leadership. Zero. None.

They needs to stay on Jokic and be PHYSICAL, make it unconfortable for him to shot or try to drive to the basket. We can not allow Jokic to get the ball near the basket and have a smaller player on him. That is too easy for him. This will also allow us to rebound better and will allow Bam to guard Gordon.

I agree, Yurt is kind of slow footed but JOkic is as well, at least he is a big body capable of getting some rebounds, being Physical is how the lakers played him with Howard back in the bubble i think. If he gets the ball down in the paint is an automatic two points, Bams is just way too small for him, he can move fast but he can not remotely contain Jokic, way too big and massive for Bam.

It’s unreal how good that dude is, I’d say he’s in a tier by himself for the best player in the world (I’m hoping Jimmy has something to say about that)

It’s actually laughable how much better this dude is than Embiid, media really let themselves get bullied into not giving Jokic 3 straight MVPs

Can you dig the stats when Embiid plays Jokic, i am curious to see how they stack up between each other.

In addition to being physical, the way to beat him is to go at him on the other end. It can't just be something where we do it once or twice, don't get a call and then flail your arms and pout. There has to be a consistent, methodical assault on the painted area. We should be aiming for his first defensive foul in the first 5 minutes of the game. Less jumpers Bam, put the ball on the floor and go at him. Same with Jimmy, he averaged 9 FT attempts per game this postseason, he's at 3.5 vs. Denver. It's not enough, Jokic right now is happy as a pig in **** because he gets to expend all his energy on offense. Make him work on defense and watch some of those shots start falling short. Get a quick foul on him and watch how quickly you can bait him into another.

Butler should seek out Murray every play down the floor. Not only is he not a good defender but you start putting doubt in to his mind. Hes been unaffected by us this series. Hes the guy to attack. He cannot guard Butler.

Mostly because the refs absolutely refused to call fouls on him in the first half. Do you know how empowering that is to consistently foul and get away with it? The whole team starts ramping up their aggression and gets free licks.

Hello,

Long time lurker checking in here. I've been following around this board for a VEEERY LOOONG time as I've always enjoyed reading your guys inside expertise while watching games. From time to time I thought of creating an account and even had one for just a short span, so basically I never joined up until this point so far. Though through my constant reading through the years I'm familiar with some running gags here and a lot of you posters. Don't feel stalked though please haha ^^.

Actually I wanted make my first post after that devastating Game 6 loss to the Celtics for Gmae 7 but couldn't as my account was still being checked. So I figured tonight may be a good time to hopefully have somewhat of a positive influence haha ^^.

As most of you I've been really annoyed with how the regular season went. But ever since that second Play-In Game I hoped for the best and have really enjoyed this incredible Heat run. As it has been a good distraction from some private problems that I went through in the last few months.

As I'm from Austria all the Games usually take place when it's night time here, at around 2:00 or 2:30 am. But this team has given me so much inspiration that I've watched almost every single playoff Game this year, even when I had to work the following day and just got maybe 3 - 4 hours of sleep. But it was worth it and it still is.

So as tough the spot that we're in may be, I know this team is capable of turning things around and I refuse to.give up. I still believe.

And with that said:

LETS GO HEAT and LETS HAVE SOME FUN TONIGHT!!
