We keep chasing the steals and it gets everyone out of position and allows the Heat a free run to the basket.

Coach Grief is right.

I'm kinda annoyed. When I lived here heat fans were the worst. There to be seen and not paying attention to the game.

Yet today I feel they are louder than fiserv forum.

When Giannis was in, our offense looked really good all half. Really good looks the whole time and no Giannis charges or terrible threes.

Our defense is atrocious. Smart teams get 12-20 pts a half on miscommunication, unnecessary switches, guys out of position, no boxing out, etc.

Good thing we didn't add a bunch from turnovers.

Kevin Love being allowed to be an effective rim protector by flopping all over the court is criminal. Is that David Guthrie? Same guy fell for the flop each time.

NO, we do not. That is the fundamental problem.

My guess is Grayson was a better defender.

Also, Griffin’s defense is causing major problems for the Bucks. I do not see any improvement at all whatsoever. Terrible defense.

Same crap different team. This game should not be this close at all.

They've never been able to! What have we done to mitigate that for five seasons? Funneled them into huge guys with long arms. Almost as if you shouldn't put your 7'1 shot blocking monster 22 feet from the hoop.

So just leave Kevin Love wide open. Our defenders are garbage now. Pat and Mids were never close to this bad

Kevin Love shot 33% from distance last year and is shooting 30% this year. Meanwhile, we are on pace to give up 68 points in the paint. As stated previously, they were, they just didn't look like it because we had rim erasers waiting behind them. We're using sound team defenders as POA defenders, and then we're asking why it isn't working out. Hmmmmmm.

lol. They weren’t this bad. This is ridiculous.

You leave love open against us he’s making them. Sorry. Seen it too many times

I feel like I’m watching a Jason Kidd team again

Who needs Jimmy Butler when you have an 8 on 5 advantage.

We play a completely **** brain dead brand of defense that is going to get skewered in the playoffs. But we’re going to win enough games over the RS so we’ll keep hearing the “we’re X-Y and haven’t even played our best ball yet!” nonsense all the way up to the playoffs until said skewering happens, probably at the hands of Miami or Boston again.

I think we actually ran a real offense for the most part, so that's kinda cool! Weren't hitting shots, but that'll happen. The defense, unfortunately, is a structural clown car that would have made the 21 team look shaky.

I'm back on the Fire Grief bandwagon.

That is a typical result of AG’s square peg in a round hole defensive scheme; hope AG’s stubbornness decreases substantially and quickly with this scheme.

When giannis and dame are out... Khris being the man with scrubs is not pretty.

Ugly Rotations, ugly defense, ugly games.

I'm more annoyed being down 3 to the Heat tonight than I was when we were down big on Sunday vs the Blazers.

At least Sunday when we were down it was our own fault. This one we're getting screwed and the officials aren't even trying to hide it.

Bench killing us tonight. Griff needs to go a bit deeper: give us some AJJ and Green.

What is the deal with calling out of bounds on the Payne 3 after the fact? I have never seen that happen before. Is that new?
