"Steve Novak is probably the best three point shooter in the league. As the three point shot is the most efficient shot in basketball, he should be the first option for the Raptors offense."

See how flawed this logic is?
Are you kidding me? It's much harder to create a 3 point shot for yourself than it is too post up. I'm actually not sure if you're joking at this stage.

Dude, I've been really patient thus far but am now convinced that you don't know much about basketball. Let's end it here so that you don't embarrass yourself anymore.

Indiana should be happy this is only a four-point game. If you were to tell me that Miami shoots 47% and Indiana shoots 33%, I would think Miami would be up 10+.

Wasn't a joke, it was an observation.

West plays 13 minutes, George is one for 11, one bench player scores a field goal and youre down 4

they're both lucky IMO , lebron and bosh are non existent too.

and when lebron is bad this heat team is usually done.

A bit of defense is pathetic?

Its not great defense it's turnovers and missed shots it's miserable one on one no ball movement nothing

Good defense causes turnovers and errors, missed shots. Pacers are moving the ball, but Miami's rotations on D have been very solid, likewise with the Pacers.

Lebron's playing bad. Miami's in the game.

This. Miami is 11th in defense this year, nowhere near elite. Pacers just suck offensively, they are 22nd in the NBA.

For fu.ck's sake Vogel, stop giving Scola playing time!

Yank3525 · Post #1890 » by **Yank3525** » Wed May 21, 2014 1:51 am

BTW is Scola the worst player in this series. The guy is net-negative every team he is on the floor.

i wonder if there is a statistic showing how many of miami's runs start with a ray allen 3 pointer

Maybe the real Scola is injured and Russell Brand has replaced him

I thought he was a good pickup in the offseason but hes been awful offensively. He forgot how to score which is surprising considering how skilled he is at it

This. Aside Lebron, everyone who was on that team then was better than they are now. Bosh, Wade, Battier. They've all declined. The problem was Dirk went HAM and Miami couldn't stop him and Lebron checked out.

They should be. Miami's missing free throws and three pointers and botching fast breaks.

Miami has the ability to step up their D in the playoffs. Currently 4th best defensive team in the post season.

West was in foul trouble (worse thing is scola is his backup), george 1-11, bench sucks but still down 4.
