that's what I said after game 2. these guys better not get comfortable thinkin that shyt is gonna continue. it's like they didn't understand that until late in the 3rd quarter. they finally started playing like themselves and had the hornets lookin lost. i'm expecting another blowout next game.
But, here's the thing. All of 2016, we've never needed a bunch of 3's or a bunch of jumpers to generate points. We've been consistently scoring 100+ all of the 2nd half of the season, without settling and hitting 3's. I agree that we need to stop settling for the open 3, but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised or shocked if Miami put up 110 again on Wednesday or in a Game 7. We even missed layups and put-backs in the last 2 games, not just open 3's.. That's Miami Heat basketball, that's how it's been all season. 1st half of the season, we're the worst offensive team in the league. 2nd half of the season we're one of the best. And it's the same scenario in this playoffs so far. We just gotta be patient with the team, and expect the expected.

The whole team looks overwhelmed out there are rookies look like deer in headlines and this is what worried me about not having some type of vet backup cuz Richardson who been getting alot of minutes for Dragic is not being aggressive enough. Charlotte coaches have no respect for Winslow mid range game because they no its weak and his ass is just settling for 3 playing into what they want.

We are way too 3 happy which come back to bite us when there not hitting. Johnson and Wade should be working in the post more. I forgot which of the heat fam said it but Wade is always out on the perimeter starting the offense when his game in game is midrange in. Give credit to Charlotte they have figure out a game plan that for two games has left Spo scratching his head clueless
Agreed about Wade/Joe in the post. Especially after all those missed long two's and 3's that generate easy transition points for Charlotte.

It's funny, it's not like Wade and JJ are hogging the ball. We're moving the rock, the same way we did at home in the 1st two game, it's just that anytime we find the open man, they can't hit a shot to save their life, no matter how wide-open they are. When things break down like that, Wade or JJ in the post might be our best offensive move, because Wade and JJ can control the tempo and run the shot-clock, which limits quick Miami turnovers, which limits easy Charlotte transition buckets, and will possibly get Charlotte's back-court into foul trouble. Wade and Joe are good for getting their man into foul trouble with good footwork and pumpfakes. Isolate Charlottes defenders and put them on their heals. It's like ball movement has been working against us so far in Charlotte, because we're moving the ball for no reason, since we're getting empty possessions. Might as well feed Joe in the post, and tell Wade to get down there too, and get Lin in foul trouble. That's the only way for us to get to the FT line, and keep Lin off the court.

Honestly, next game in Charlotte(Game6) just tell Wade to attack Lin early, and get him off the court. Put pressure on him offensively.

Richardson outside shot hasn't been falling in Charlotte i would love for him to used his long arms and height advantage on whoever is guarding him Kamba or Lin and take them in the post. i want them to used him on the post like Golden state does with livingston.

Tyler Johnson? :mjlol:

The fact remains, y'all went up 2-0 WITHOUT Bosh - heading into G3 where the Hornets were without their two most important players. Anything other than a series win would be painfully embarrassing.
Some say Charlotte is better than we give them credit for, and Miami isn't as good as Heat fans have been hyping them up to be.

Some say Miami should be embarrassed for being tied 2-2 with a Charlotte team who has the same record as us, just because Nick Batum is out, even though we went up 2-0 when Batum was playing and blew them out in both of those outings.

I'm sure if we win this series, we'll be mocked for going 7 with Charlotte. Even with Nic Batum back and healthy.

I'm sure we'll be mocked for going 6 with Charlotte.
:hula:
