It was so so. Glad we have the lead and that we're not isoing quite as much. Hope we don't revert to that in the 4th.

Man, is Romeo made of glass, or what. He and Hayward.

Did the Heat just set an NBA record by the number of possessions that ended in a white guy shooting a three?

Swear it was 12 or so

Defend the 3, win the game.

Simple.

So why has MIA not played BAM in the first?

I just checked the stats and he only has 1 foul.

Did Stevens just find a matchup that Spo doesn't want to play Bam for against Kanter?

I'll take the tradeoff of having a turnstill in Kanter if it means we get zero rim blocking on the other end for Tatum drives to the basket.

I think that's a horrible overreaction by Spo.

Herro dribbled twice then moved to the side of Wanamaker to launch a shot and 0.9 seconds still didn’t go off the clock.

Something to watch for later in the game

Heat took 8 more shots that quarter.. that's not going to get it done. 6-1 turnovers.

Didn't like our defense in that quarter. Gotta be better.

Resetting expectations, and that’s okay.

Game one came down to the buzzer. We led most of it. We're leading now. It'll probably come down to the buzzer.

It's gonna be a tight series. If what you're seeing on your screen is telling you that we're overmatched, that's a little too pessimistic, imo.

Honestly it’s just their 3’s and our turnovers that are keeping them in it. We’re shooting too well to only be up 3.

Our guys, perhaps in a vacuum, and with a super abstracted definition of their value, are largely better than theirs.

But "it's a make or miss league" and the Heat have great shooters.

That's how we're winning and it feels close.

He also stepped out of bounds

Don't think thats a factor on that one. Just getting extra rest most likely.

Yeah I found it odd Kanter forced Bam off the floor seemingly, but I'll take it if it's a sign of things to come :lol:

Just checked the #s and concluded that we won that quarter because the Celtics are, in fact, the balls

Bill Lumbergh · Post #498 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Thu Sep 17, 2020 11:45 pm

If we play team ball, I think we beat them. If we revert to iso, we don't.

SMTBSI · Post #499 » by **SMTBSI** » Thu Sep 17, 2020 11:46 pm

Miami started the game 5-6 from three, and led.

Then they went 1-8, and now we lead.

It's a simple game, sometimes.
