Here is a podcast aout Tony Fiorentino take on the Mistery

http://heatbeatmiami.com/podcast/143-looking-stats-tony-fiorentino-miami-heat-color-commentator/

He tries to be very diplomatic and carefull about not burning the clueless coaching staff but his take is that they have not figured it out yet after all this tine and that they ususally try to go with defensive lineups in the Turd which in my opinion allow our opponent to pressure us on defense because of the poor spacing created by the inept heat offensive players. That pressure defense lead to turnovers allowing our opponents to come back and build confidence...




My theory is that Having Whiteside and Winslow on the court in the 3rd allows opponents to pressure the Heat defensively and create turnovers. Once the turnovers happen, opponents just run the fast break and Whiteside cannot recover full court, which lead to easy baskets, once our opponent start seeing the ball go through the basket on those easy points, it builds their confidence into making longrange shots...and the Heat is toast

On the other side Heat offensive confidence get shut, whiteside starts pouting and whinning and it all snowball from there, once spo finally decide to alter his preset rotations a little to late, we expend crazy eenergy to try to get back in the game with offensive players cold off the bench and fall short because of exhaustion and mental breakdowns from having to execute under those stressfull & frustrating pressure situations created by the coaching staff inability to recognise the game and adjust fast on the fly...

Lets try to find the stats for:

- Lineups used in the turd to identify the defensive orientation

- Turnovers in the turd and points allowed off turnovers in the turd compared to other quarters

- Opponents shootin % in the turd compared to other quarters

- Heat shooting % in the turd compard to other quarters

- Number of timeouts used by the coaching staff

More facts:

* Over his past 10 games, Heat forward Justise Winslow is averaging 5.7 points on 20-of-63 (31.7 percent) shooting from the field and 2-of-11 (18.2 percent) shooting from 3-point range. But Winslow is still shooting a career-best 39.7 percent on 3-pointers this season, as he made 12-of-17 3-pointers during a 10-game stretch before his current shooting slump. There is one negative stat that continues to follow Winslow, though: Since the start of the 2016-17 season, the Heat are 23-39 when Winslow plays and 48-30 when he does not play. It’s unfair to point to one player as the reason for a team’s success, or lack thereof. But those are the numbers.
