yikes they hitting everything and the scary thing is i can see them continue for the next half. it sucks that we really have no post up players or attackers


It wouldn’t matter because Cavs bigs are sitting in the paint giving the Heat open threes. The Cavs are only defending Duncan and Herro out on three point line

Not even just out on the 3 point line. Basically the area beyond the FT line is a soft zone for them for everyone else. Its embarrassing. Or at least it should be to the rest of those guys.

Most of this team doesn't even look at the rim if they aren't spotting up from 3, besides Tyler, Davion, Bam, and Wiggins. The rest of them are strictly 3's and layups.

Cleveland with more FB points, more rebounds and less turnovers. Add their 3 pt shooting and its ovah.

If Bam could wake up and give us anything at all that'd be great.

Just out of curiosity I wonder what the record is for team 3’s in a playoff game. Has to be held by one of those Curry squads you’d think.

It just baffles me that the heat won't hunt mismatches.

Garland and Mitchell are ripe for the taking.

Never seen a "star" player with more no-show games than Bam.

Every look they get is high quality it seems. The difference between an offense that knows what it’s doing compared to one that doesn’t.

Mia’s hedge n recover defense is working out great for the Cavs shooters

As it did for the Celtics’ shooters last year
