Spo went small hoping the Knicks would follow suit. Knicks have been dominating inside since tip and it'll get worse as the series goes on. Heat better hope their shooters can stay hot the entire series. Dudes are getting pounded inside worse than the Cavs.

Sloppy Obi. You read things right, just got too sloppy.

Brunson and Barrett are looking like they're going hunt the Heat's 1-way shooters off the court. They're already starting to pick on Strus.

strong athletic long wings that can get to the cup and can handle contact go way up in value in the playoffs

Wiggins and Barret are two good examples of that

jump shooting can only get you so far (unless ur Steph and Klay but who is?) :)

robinson is such a presence, even him being there makes people settle for shots vs taking it to the rim.

Miami getting good looks from three, just not hitting them. They need to bring in Duncan Robinson.

Think everyone forgot RJ Barrett had really good stats vs. Miami. Career high 46 points last season.

what seperates robinson from lopez is that robinson can defend the perimeter.

I hope not. He's an average 3pt shooter and was scorching against Milwaukee when they let him fire away...43.8% on 6.6 3pa.

Obviously rather have them banking on Vincent to beat us than Jimmy, but we still shouldn't be leaving him wide open...
