This is going to come down to our D.

FTs have kept us in this.

I'd try Kenny Atkinson.

His teams always seemed to have good, decisive ball movement. I saw a lot of them because I live in BK. The Bucks could really use that.

Don’t really understand playing small for us, I love Pat C but he shouldn’t be getting any minutes. We should always have a Lopez in the game and Ersan is a known Miami killer. Go big and punish them in the paint.

With what?

We won't be in the running for legitimate stars or anything, but we have enough that we could theoretically bring in someone like Buddy Hield or Evan Fournier or something like that IMO. I doubt we'll be aggressive enough to trade Middleton (and in almost any case it would likely be a bad idea), but I think upgrading Wes will probably be priority #1.

Dragic is just filthy right now. Go under the screen and hes a flamethrower from 3. Go over the screen and he still will take the 3 or drive and kick. Steady vet similar to what I think George Hill should be for us.

The Bucks big 3 carried us that half, hopefully the rest of the team shows up and the heat cool off. That 2nd quarter showed major improvement 2 more quarters like that and Bucks win.

Would kill to have Butler on this team, and just Miami's mentality in general. He is built for the playoffs - the exact opposite of this team.

I like the Bledsoe-Hill backcourt we saw toward the end of the half. Pat C and Donte need to contribute (let's go!!), but Bled-Hill is our best backcourt. Bledsoe-Hill-Brogdon would be a much better looking rotation, but letting Brogdon go was also relying on Donte to take a step forward, not a step back. Donte's gotta step up.

Miami has 4 turnovers, we're just not making them uncomfortable.

Magic Giannison · Post #611 » by **Magic Giannison** » Wed Sep 2, 2020 11:57 pm

We shot 21 Fts this half and we are down 6, no bueno....

Also, wtf happen to our 3 point shooting ?

The heat are insane at hitting open/slightly contested three. If it's a good shot, it's going in. Can't have that same confidence with the Bucks.

greekbuck34 · Post #613 » by **greekbuck34** » Wed Sep 2, 2020 11:57 pm

At this point I don't think we can do anything more about Dragic or the shooting from Olynic and Crowder. They destroy every defensive effort from us.

What we can fix is :

1)Stupid fouls especially from Giannis in general and our players at their 3p shooters or or tough fadeaways after their fakes.
2)Stupid turnovers leading to easy transition points. That's like 10-15 points per game at least.
3)Rebounding after great defense. I know they are usually long cause they are shooting a lot but still.

Wonder what a Bud halftime is like..."Okay guys we're going to give Giannis the ball at the top, or maybe the elbow if we're feeling adventurous. Then everyone else go to your blue boxes. Everyone got it?"

Honestly bud is one of the worst playoff coaches to come to mind.

CharityStripe34 · Post #616 » by **CharityStripe34** » Wed Sep 2, 2020 11:58 pm

It's funny, I saw Gianni in the post and/or attacking from the elbow draw 3-4 straight fouls or score. They don't have one defender who can contain him around the paint, I'd run down screens to either block and watch Miami double. Keep up the same defensive intensity and the 3-pt shooting for Miami should* regress.

Only 2.5% below our average. We just aren’t good

I strongly disagree with going big. The heat are going small with 5 out 3pt shooters. The way they've taken advantage of Lopez I can only imagine how bad Ersan/Robin would look as well. If Robin had his post game going maybe but he's looked off all bubble.

Would be nice for the MVP to put his stamp on this game and will the team to a huge series tying win.

I gave bud the benefit in Atlanta because I never thought that team was good and Lebron was in the East, but if we get knocked out this year the exact same way as we did last year I’m on board that he’s simply a regular season coach when only a handful of teams care
