That was probably the most athletic play of Marvin's post-Atlanta career

I hope this is not solely due to Lamb's injury.

Saying that since Marv has played a lot of 3 tonight. Perhaps, if Lamb was healthy, he'd be out there and there wouldn't be no more Roberts/Lin and Marv at 3 lineups. That would make for less minutes at 4 due to Marv and Zeller and less minutes for Frank

Awesome ball movement

Why are we passing so much? Is this what other teams do? I liked it better when we just took a bunch of long jumpers off the dribble.

Batum is so unselfish. We just look like we have so many ways to break down defenses and frustrate opponents.

I think Lambs injury is the only reason Roberts is playing.

He plays simlar to Kemba but he is inconsistent with his handle instead of his shot. Its fine though. When Kembas shot isnt falling we can go with Lin. When Lin isnt taking care of the ball we can go with Kemba. When theyre both playing well we use them both. I like it.

Lin was trying too hard and being too fancy on the last coupla possessions, prolly knew he was gonna get subbed soon so he wanted to force something to happen. He just needs to let the flow come to him rather than making crazy risky dumb plays, hell just shoot the damn ball his stroke seems fine right now. The Heat D was keying in on him jumping his screens and not letting him get a clear line of attack. Also too much ball watching when he has the rock, its like the team expects Lin to make something happen rather than do their jobs in moving off ball.

Big Al demolishing em down low, is this his typical play or is he in ultra contract year mode?

Ok at this point would MKG switch onto Dragic to shut him down?

Walker can't do anything with Dragic.

Think a healthy Lamb would have a greater effect on Roberts. Instead of the Roberts/Lin backcourt we'd see Lin/Lamb.
