Cs hit 10 more threes than Heat in G1. Heat made 11 more threes than Cs in G2.
Lakers made 5 more 3s than Denver in game 2, were up 20 in the third, and lost.
"Make or miss" is nothing but an excuse
I mentioned nothing about "make or miss". My posts this entire thread were about how we defended poorly and how it had little to do with luck. Spo came into the game with a clear strategy and identified a weakness in our defense, took advantage while we never adjusted.
Denver is the exception to the rule. It's hard to beat the math. Nuggets are one of the few teams that do.
It's hard to beat the math...
Unless you're the champions, and the clear cut championship favorites. So what does that tell you about about how reliable the math is if we want to win a championship?
We, a 64-18 team just got beaten at home, by an 8 seed missing their best player and an import roleplayer, and lost homecourt because our guys couldn't execute, and properly defend like you said.
The champions set a standard. We shouldn't care how hard it is to beat the math. If we are a serious championship team, we find a way to beat the math. Period. Especially against a team like this.
More symptoms just continue to pop up.
In my eyes, a successful season is making the finals, and making it competitive. Because this squad is not beating Denver.
