If it wasn't Jefferson getting exploited in the PnR or pick and pop then it was Hendo or Neal getting embarrassed by Wade. I don't know how a bunch of slow old men like the Nets are keeping the Heat down to 80-90 points but that's what we should've been able to do as a top 5 defense. We got exposed. They took advantage of our weaknesses offensively and defensively. I gotta give Spoelstra credit for that.
Its easy to keep any team down to 80 or 90 points when you slow the game down to a crawl and limit possessions.
We were shooting near the end of the shot clock almost every possession against them in our series. At least until the last game.
) but most of these teams suck when it comes to x's and o's. Most of the teams so called defensive philosophy is to pack the paint and let players shoot wide open jump shots. Coaches get praised for that like it's some type of brilliant strategy. I was always taught to play tough man defense and to contest every jumper, it' just stupid to me how players get left wide open. This guys might as well just play zone.
