Exactley what I came to say. Pretty much night and day team performances in the two Florida games.
This was a quality win in my book, no matter what. We beat a really good,fully healthy Miami team on the road, playing the right way - unlike against a bit injured and not so good Magic. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Heat in the ECF for sure.
Our shot selection was better, our execution was better, our rebounding was better, our passing was better. Most all of this is effort and a bit of thinking is involved as well. You are not winning many games in 2024 if you shoot 13 three pointers. Do I like this? No. Am I absolutely fkng fuming every fkng game when our stars dont get it through their thick skull bc they knowitall and their iso/kingofcourt/middy bs is ruining a game? Absofknglutely! Seems like Gordon is the only one who does it - and funny enough he does it for the wrong reason of chucking. Holy baby jesus in the cradle... how fkng hard is it? Rant over.
Quality win, hard fought as well, even with the bit of a 4th Q slowdown. We led by "too much" most everybody would let up a bit in this scenario, and ofcourse our Q4 stuff is well documented to back that up, so no surprises there, but we did not let them too close to comfort in my opinion, so all good.
