Just trying to get our Coli Rating Up - Miami Heat Season thread 2015/16

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

The Cavs would use Love and Frye at center in matchups with the Heat, they'd play Tristan to start out with but you'd see heavy dosages of those two at center especially when Haslem or Stoudemire are in the game. They put Love at center against the Pistons, it led to some wide open threes or Bron drives because Drummond was pulled away from the rim.

They are a really versatile team.

there's so many crazy scenarios with these two teams. their rosters are both dynamic as hell. especially with deng at the pf now....that's one matchup where I feel the cavs will have some issues. either way, whether it goes 4 games or 7, we're guaranteed some great games next round. I don't see how that series won't deliver.

On the flipside, Deng would give Cleveland problems at the 4. Unless they put Tristan on Deng, in that case Hassan would feast on Love at the 5(even possible foul trouble). Both teams present matchup problems for the other. Cleveland will be the 1st team Miami faces all playoff long with out a strong, stocky, LEGIT low-post scoring 5 that'll force Whiteside to work. Love is great in the post, but he's small enough where Deng can check him. While Detroit has Drummond, and Atlanta has a shooting big like Milsap, Miami has the best of both worlds with Hassan and Deng, and can play "small ball" without actually going very small.

When the Cavs go small they play LeBron at the 4, they can matchup with virtually anything any team in the East throws at them, dont forget they do have Mozgov off the bench if they need more size. Teams like the Cavs (And Warriors) will guard your big man 1 on 1 and will live with him getting 2 but they aren't sending help because they will trade your 2s for their threes on the other end. The Hawks have two big men that stretch the defense, in the end it doesn't matter because the Cavs are going retarded from three right now and are moving the ball like a hot potato. The way to beat the Cavs is with ball movement, and neither the Raps/Heat really do that well enough to get them into rotation, they are good on the first rotation but you can get them out of sorts on the 2nd or 3rd, which is what the Spurs and Warriors do.

This Cavs team, the way they are playing right now is up there with the Spurs & Warriors.

We deserved to lose with all those turnovers but Whiteside is getting the brunt of the blame because the team rallied back to a 6 point lead with 4 min left in the 4th when Whiteside literally went retarded on defense. Let Val embarrass him on multiple possessions, outhustle him (literally gave up a HUGE missed FT rebound to him), and outplay him while giving up easy jumpers due to stupid PnR awareness.



That's the kinda shyt people get when they max contracts and franchise centerpiece stuff gets thrown aroufnfd, breh.

Bosh was our best unassisted scorer and most consistent three point shooter yet people got confused at why he was asked to shoot threes.

Get used to it.

84% of Bosh's field goals this season was assisted, which is BY FAR the highest amount not only on the Heat team, but for any big in the NBA averaging over 17ppg. Like literally 10+ percentage points higher than the next highest big. Are u high nikka lol, Bosh main offensive focus was pick and pop, his elbow isolation numbers have been below average for years now fam.

the more the night goes on the more i'm pissed about this game. and the sole reason is cause I wanted us to get as much rest as possible going into the ECF.....we gotta break their spirits in games 3 & 4 so they lay down in game 5. I mean I want a full on raping from start to finish. let em know quickly they stand no chance.

Miami has one of the best 3-point defenses in the post-season. Having to deal with Charlotte, I trust our rotational defense against Cleveland. Our rooks have been playing out of their minds defensively along with Deng, and by extension Wade's been solid defensively at his age. Having big bodies and versatility at the 3 & 4 with Joe and Deng who can easily switch and effectively guard whoever, will be good enough against LBJ. Miami's been great at chasing shooters and staying skin-tight against ball movemnt. It's no coincidence Miami played GS pretty close in both meetings this year and beat(and lost) to Cleveland twice. I'm not saying we WILL beat Cleveland(our Turnovers will be an achilles heel that plegs us until we are eliminated) but I think we just have the right team and right matchups to push them. And Mozgov off the bench, at the 5 would ve playing into Miami's hands, since the main reason Clevelabd hit their stride was because they've figured out a way to play small-ball effectively. That's basically what happened in the last meeting between the two teams, when Miami penalized Cleveland for going small and they brought in Mozgov. Coach Spo partialy spearheaded the small-ball wave.

The Hawks were better at defending the three than the Heat and they look helpless out there, you can't draw too many comparisons between the Cavs and Hornets because one team has LeBron and the other doesn't nevermind the fact Kyrie offensively is on a level above Kemba. The Cavs have tied the 3 point record, then outright broke it a few games later against the 2nd best defense in the league. Nah, Deng and JJ won't be good enough to guard Bron, he has sonned both those dudes in the playoffs during their primes, they couldn't check him then and they can't do it now especially when he's allowing his team to run offense with him off the ball. I don't see how they push the Cavs, not with how they are playing right now, you can go back and I've said the Heat were the 2nd best team in the East, the Cavs however are putting big distance between themselves and the Raps/Heat. Their ball movement in conjunction with two elite creators is just entirely too much for anyone in the east. Cleveland has hit their stride because the ball isn't sticking, they have actual offball movement and make the extra pass which is something they weren't doing during the season, when things bog down they get Kyrie or Bron to create as a secondary measure when it used to be them creating shots for themselves then looking to pass.

I think I was thinking about efficiency and not unassisted. And yeah, i been high.

When they come to our house, the raptors are going to get that work. All we need to get back on moving the ball around, and take control of the pace. I know Dragon is going to come out shooting. The raptors going learn to respeck our game.

This is Whiteside catching the ball outside of the paint

Goran Dragic has reached his boiling point with officials

TORONTO -- Goran Dragic spent halftime Thursday having the gash in his bottom lip stitched up by the Heat's medical staff.

DeMar DeRozan's left elbow to his mouth wasn't what Dragic asked for on the eve of his 30th birthday.

But nothing bothered the Heat's starting point guard more that when he was also called for the foul.

"Of course it was a charge -- I bled," Dragic told reporters after the Heat's 96-92 overtime Game 2 loss to the Raptors.

"If he hits me with the elbow first, then it's a charge. What can I say? This season, every time [I get hit] I get [called for] a foul. I lost two [teeth], got stitches and always they call it on me. I don't know if the refs are there watching the game or not."

Did Dragic get an explanation?

"No," he said. "I didn't even want to -- talk because it's only going to get worse."

^No fukks given. Good for him pointing this bullshyt out

 

[WaddupDoe!]

that OT was bullshyt & so was the end of that 4th quarter. Raps got away with some bullshyt. we had our fukking chances to win that game tho. we better come out game 3 with that kill mode mentality.

At least we got some comedy out of the loss. Never seen Spo that animated. He did not want a repeat of Game 1. Bruh was about to swing on Loul or take the ball and do it himself.
