Miami Heat (10-12) @ Boston Celtics (18-4): Friday 7:30 ET

Our only chance of winning this game, is to get Boston to work their offense uncomfortably. Meaning, we need to be really aggressive on drives, keep them in foul trouble. Be efficient from the 3pt land to limit long rebounds and their ability to get on the break. Stop switching so much and give the guys like Bam, Jimmy, Lowry the chance to stop the Isolation and live with it, the constant switching also detracts from our effort on offense, and allows wide open 3 pointers which they are hitting almost 50%. Also slow the game down, play half court offense, make it drag, perform lots of screens, keep our shooters running for miles to keep their defenders on their toes and expending energy.

The zone has been allowing wide open 3s, unfortunately we haven’t been able to play man to man defense effectively with Lowry Herro and Strus on the court. That’s probably the worst defensive backcourt in the league then you factor in Strus and we’re screwed lol

Nah I don't want to hear it, The zone has helped us win against all the other scrubeliscious teams we have been facing. The difference here is on the Players on that team just being straight up better, having a better season, with better role players. With or Without Jimmy we would get wrecked. Other teams FYI whom have better defensive metrics that we do, with actual top defenders in their lineup have also struggled mightily against them, no its not the zone, it wasn't Jimmy missing. Were looking better and should have been proud of the fight we put up, but it just were not a top 5 NBA team at the moment, those teams will wreck us on most nights.

I expect similar results tonight, in fact we have a chance to look worse with Jimmy in the Lineup.

Idk about the other stuff you’re talking about but the zone gives wide open 3s and that’s a fact. It’s been effective but it gives wide open 3s. You were commenting on the number of wide open shots so I commented and gave some detail.

If we didn’t have scrubs defending the perimeter it might be better

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I love how we have the 2nd most playoff wins in the league since Jimmy got here and we’re 1 shot away from 2 finals appearances in 3 years but now all of a sudden our guys are just flat out scrubs and everyone’s better etc. because we lost PJ Tucker who’s been an absolute bum so far in Philly.

Get a fuxkin grip fellas!!! We took 2 massive losses to the rotation with Dipo and yurt getting hurt and Pat did us no help this summer roster construction wise. These things can easily still be fixed with the assets we have if we’re wanting to do that.

Bam is clearly the greatest thing since sliced bread

Bam is clearly the greatest thing since sliced bread

He’s been dominant. Some of y’all just need to get the fuxk over it and start showing support for your franchise player. I know it’s crazy but believe it or not young players develop and get better!!! The hate is unjustified as hell, especially with details on the whole situation coming to light.

Dudes averaging 23-11-3 since a tough first 3 games or so while also being arguably the best defender in the world but he’s the most hated player on the team. Unreal.

Bam and Jimmy slander are not tolerated in my game threads.

He's a player fan pretending to be a Heat fan. This has already been established.
