2025 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 2: Heatz v Cabs - 7:30pm EST on 4/23

[oreon]

Miami looking like a 10th seed facing a no 1 seed

[Tim_Hardawayy]

That was better but Bam has to kick it out of the double faster or attack it before it gets to him.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Duncan enters and the momentum shifts again. Do people not notice this?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

This is the top offense in the league vs a bottom 10 offense, we have to be pretty flawless. Bam/Ware lineup looked great to start, wonder if we’ll see more of it.

[KingDavid]

Wow Duncan in no man's land there getting bumped outta defensive position. Idk what that was by Bam the previous possession.

[dolphinatik]

We fall in love with the jump shoot too much when we need to attack the paint

[Kobewade11]

**** clowns wont miss

[KingDavid]

Pace is too damn fast.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Keep helping off shooters, that’ll work!

[marson]

Bonehead plays after bonehead plays.

[Shewasfly]

Bam looks extremely tentative. Exactly what we don't need.

Its not over but its not looking good. In part because we keep making stupid mistakes. Smh.

[Crazy-Canuck]

**** clowns wont miss

Tends to happen when they aren't guarded.

[dolphinatik]

That turnover was because we never look inside. I mean serially is this the gameplan, get bullied and jack up jumpshots. You gotta be kidding me.

[eddieheatfan]

i'm impressed by what the cavs have done this season. their team is really talented and well prepared and coached too. they did their homework without much fanfare. the heat looks like a step behind, they are playing better that's for sure but i dont think its enough talentwise

[Shewasfly]

We need Bam to do that. He and Wiggins are our most athletic, they need to use it.

[Tim_Hardawayy]

Its just a 3-point shooting contest, most of these are contested. I don't have any complaints, they're shooting better than we are.

On the bright side, Highsmith/Pelle work great together defensively and that probably translates to Wiggins as well, I think this is a series where you have to go big and possibly play less Davion and more Tyler at the 1.

They deliberately collapsing the paint and letting have the 3s. We can't try and force and try to finish over their length but those shots are gonna end up being blocked. We don't have elite creative finishers who can finish over length.
We gotta keep on taking the 3s and force them to close out and that will open up lanes in the paint. But Cavs are happy for this to be a 3 point shoot out

Easy now, we're a 10th seed.

[dolphinatik]

Spo is grasping

[broke]

They hit everything we can't buy a 3
