Re: PG: Wasted a Miracle
What makes this so frustrating is that we played so poorly and yet this was such a winnable game

he had a really good game, kudos to him, but again, Joseph/Val defense has been atrocious.
DefRtg of 88.3 with JV on the floor tonight. 2nd best on the team. Try again.
EDIT: And Joseph was only a 94.5, also quite good.

Raptors couldnt get a stop to save their life all clutch long and it was largely due to Joseph or Ross defending Wade and Jonas in the middle been wishy washy and slow.

Couple nice moves by Wade, a hall of famer. Not going to complain. Defense wasn't the issue tonight. Hasn't been the issue all playoffs.
Hey where do you grab numbers form an individual game?
Also boom, Lowry played great on D as I expected. Once again people don't notice those things unless they are a "defensive stud" like Biyombo or if they are also scoring at the other end.

Re: PG: Wasted a Miracle
Does anyone know if JV's ankle is okay? He was our best player tonight and we desperately need him to play with as much mobility as possible to have any chance in this series

He was playing after he rolled it. Should be fine for the next game.

Re: PG: Wasted a Miracle
lets hope to god that kyle turns it around. His shot is almost there, you can see them going in and out. We dont win if kyle doesnt hit his shot, so it's all on him this series. Lets hope they start falling and soon.

I get that, but when your offense is poop and you know it your defense better cuts it or you cant win, that was the case tonite
Defense of JV, CoJo, Demar, Cory, Carroll was good tonight.
DefRtg of team:
Biyombo: 116.4
Patterson: 105.6
Ross: 104.5
Powell: 101.9
Joseph: 94.5
Carroll: 92.6
Demar: 92.1
JV: 88.3
Lowry: 87.2

He set the tone for us with his bulldog mentality according to Casey.

Raps in 6, even with Lowry's trash play.
I was not that impressed with the Heat to be honest. What concerns me is that we can't really expect much from Lowry. He is not going to get that much better. The one thing I hope we get is better defense from him and Cory on Dragic. The guy was getting into the paint and spacing at will. They need to be more physical with him. It was shame how he abused them.
Also I didn't like how Ross/Cory got time on Wade. That could spell disaster. I would always have Carroll/DD/Powell on him, and hide the smaller defenders on Deng.
