IMO, I didn't hate Tatum's shot at the end of regulation.
That was the right shot at that moment. I don’t think anybody is complaining about that. Just stop those non stop isos at the end of games when we have the lead. Running the shot clock and “pounding” the ball was really unbearable to watch. If they are going to do that, then at least set some screens for Kemba and JT, to make it a lot easier.
I didn't bother to watch the OT so the iso thing might have happened there more but when I re-watched the 4th quarter, I thought we still had good movement except for a couple of possessions (one was Kemba getting blocked by Jae). It was just hard to score against the length of Miami especially inside. The problem was defense. In the last 7 minutes of the 4th, I think we only got two or three stops total. It didn't help that we were in the penalty early and kept sending them to the line.
That play by Kemba getting blocked by Crowder was really dreadful to watch. It was almost the same play that Kemba did against the Raps, when fortunately G.Will got the ball somehow on a broken iso play by Kemba, with the shot clock almost over. There is no way for Kemba to make that shot inside. Maybe a few screens would help him get open for a jumper. That’s the problem if you waste too much time on the clock, there is almost no chance to pass the ball.
