Highsmith just missed the wide open 3

They’re getting too many wide open looks

Mia’s on skates

That starting lineup defensive unit has holes that a team like the Pacers with size feast on.

There are too many bad defenders out there and overall on the roster. I'm expecting a real wakeup call of how good this team really is in the playoffs when teams have time to prepare against Miami and pick apart their bad defenders.

Maybe Miami just needs to go all in with making sure everyone on the court can shoot 3s and just ignore trying to have any defense at all.

One of the most gutless performances of the season

And its not even all about the defense, we've been outhustled all night

Miami's given up a 38 and 41 point quarter in 3 quarters so far.

Of Miami's 59 FGA, only 20 have been 3s, for Indiana they've shot 70 (11 more FGA) FGA with nearly half (34) being 3s.

Mia’s Point of attack defense is non existent

Pacers handlers blow past them at will and create havoc.

They’re either finding the open man at will or getting quality shots up in the paint

And when they miss, are often enough getting the offensive board

Butler's late closeouts not helping so far.

Well at least we get to see some Keshad Johnson minutes at the 4

The 1st quarter doomed us. Shame.

Slower than molasses. Looked deliberate.

Keshad showing more effort than these prima donna millionaires.

nice minutes from Keshad, someone who is actually hustling after rebounds

If Jimmy doesn’t wanna be here, then ship him out. We’d be a worse team for it, but dude looked like he was sandbagging.
