2023 NBA Finals, Game 3: Nuggets @ Heat, 6/7 @ 8:30pm 

Post#1 » by insfo » Mon Jun 5, 2023 6:42 am

Wasn't that fun? Edge-of-your-seat stuff right there! Now that we have homecourt, let's protect it!!

Is this the Tyler Herro game? Some other keys

Struss staying loose
Duncan -> Huncan
Gabe continuing to be Nnamdi
Bam's new found offensive confidence
Caleb getting well from his illness and shooting with confidence when he gets that ball
Lowry making a few big shots
Highsmith making an impact in limited minutes
Love starting again, getting boards and making 3s
and finally maybe, just maybe, Herro returning as a hero!

Let's keep this going, Heat fam!

We were able to urban plan the flow of traffic within the confines of Joker.

Joker was reacting to our defense.

We have to keep the game flowing out of his most efficient reactions.

I generally trust in Spo for all decisions, but maybe someone should tag him in this tweet...

I'd be ok if Zeller didn't play another minute the rest of the series. Easily our worst player all playoffs.

I agree. I honestly wonder though if Spo went 10 deep because of the altitude in Denver. He played more guys than he has in a while in these first two. Wouldn’t be surprised if he tightens things up in game 3 and 4.

Yeah, you still have to give Bam some rest for him to be his best version. We keep talking about Bam being a young guy and why were not playing him X number of minutes a game and Spo sucks. You realize the awesome comebacks and great close outs weve had as a team, because Bam and crew have been fresh to close it out accordingly. Spo knows that Bam works really hard on both ends, bigs expend more energy than guards/wings when moving their bodys around, imagine the amount of energy he expells on switches. Spo is ok, with risking some setbacks during the game to have his guy be ready to crank it to 200% in the last couple of minutes. I do Agree you almost have to figure a way for Bam to be on the floor when Jokic is there, however Jokic can afford to be off the floor, he isn't spending all his energy on the defensive end. its not the same for Bam, and also yes I agree the Zeller minutes are brutal we need to find something else, Yurt needs to be given a try, don't see why not give him those 5 minutes of death and see what happens at home.

Zeller is just therre to pick up fouls instead of Bam. It's Vincent who marks Jokic down low where he dribbles, and it's a very effective strategy, at least it was last night.

Many on here still haven't tried to understand the concept of players not being robots who can play non-stop for an extremely physical 48 minutes of play. They also don't get that some guys are just in to sustain and foul/show physicality while your better players get rest. Spo buying minutes for Jimmy and Bam so they can be as fresh as possibly for the stretch run is a fine strategy.

Doubt Yurt gets any burn until we go back to Denver where we'll need more bodies due to the altitude. For a huge guy like Jokic, you need big bodies to throw at him on defense. Cody isn't ideal on offense, and he's been less than stellar on defense too. But he is a big body. That said, I would not be surprised if Zeller won't see another minute of action. He has been a negative in every minute he's played this series.
