Take That South Beaches! ECF Game 5 Victory Cigar vs MIA 5/25 (MIA leads 3-2)

[Parliament10]

Defense. Offense. Camaraderie. Heart.

[bigboi]

Don’t let us get one. Tatum will be the face of the league if Celtics win a chip. This is storyline stuff

[playa-hater]

Oh and as much as I hate our coach that was by far the best time out game he has ever called.

[Ben-N1ce]

White and Smart. Why can't the Heat non starters just suck a couple of games. How good they have been is mind boggling.

[Tyakack]

This went from an embarrassment of our team to a potential embarrassment from the other. I strongly advise the heat don't lose game 6.

[Parliament10]

10 down. 6 to go!

Yeah Smitty!!!

It's great not to be completely embarrassed and have a chance to play to force a game 7.

Gonna need a stronger game from Tatum if you're expecting to win one more in Miami.

Winner of game 6 I assume will win the series.

Joe seems to have unstubborned himself just in time.

Perhaps he recalled his humility mantra.

When the Heat were not making miracle shots, their offense stagnated and it resulted in turnovers.

I mean the first 3 games of the series was just miracle shot after miracle shot from the Heat.

The last 2 games, when the Heat were not making those bail out shots, the Heat offense got lost.

All four of Brown, White, Tatum and Smart played excellent games tonight. Tatum was great passing, Brown and Smart had a bunch of steals and very good defense, White hit a ton of shots. Nice to see Brown finally hit some threes, 3-25 coming into tonight. 3-5 tonight.

The C's defense these last two games has looked more like last years. For most of this year they've forced barely any turnovers, lowest rate in the league I believe. These last two games much more aggressive, hands in passing lanes, ect.

Games 1-3: 31/108 from three for 28.7%
Games 4-5: 34/84 from three for 40.5%

Sometimes it IS as simple as hitting shots.

[GreenBloodedC]

One game at a time. Offense won't always be there, but effort and defense should be.

Game 6 is do or die for both teams.

This is the perfect set up game for Tatum.

If Tatum went off in this game then there's a big chance he'll be off in Game 6.

Since Tatum just had a good game in this one, expect Tatum to explode in Game 6.

Well they actually shot great this game and their randoms continue to produce which is aggravating.

Just another series down 3-2, except that the opponent is the one who's primed for bounceback.

Game 6 will likely be close. Miami will cut down on the TOs.

[Bar Fight]

A lot of teams would have folded going down 0-3. Great fight to get back in this series. Miami is gonna be feeling the heat in Game 6

[Tyakack]

We are past the point of complete embarrassment now. We were fighting for our pride I feel like in game 4, and game 5. Now, winning the series is no longer unrealistic.

I also think depth is becoming a major issue for Miami as well. Add in Butler not playing particularly well and Lowry looking completely cooked it makes sense why they lost the past two games.
