Cotdamn attention to detail is pretty bad..
The fact that Miami allows Danny Green to touch the ball is mind blowing

Cotdamn attention to detail is pretty bad..
It's very simple, the Heat need to go to zone defense with a rotation to the strong side of the ball. They need to do to the Spurs what the Spurs are doing to Bron and Wade. Let them shoot jumpers, clog the paint, don't let Duncan catch the ball the deep, and run the shooters off the 3 point line. If Birdman isn't injured, he better be getting significant minutes. I would also put in some taller players to guard Green, ala James Jones, Rashard Lewis, etc.

Breh, I pray they let us shoot jumpers. Danny and Gary gone feast like never before.
There's NO WAY the Heat coaching staff aren't telling them to stay on the man. Spo looks beat down from screaming that shyt at them, but you can't reverse a season's worth of bad habits.
I don't think the Heat players believe they'll lose so they turn the switch on and off. They were probably OK with being down 3-2 before game 5.

This thread went from good to bad pretty quickly. Alot of idiots in here (no disrespect...really). I see "I'd let Parker, Duncan & Manu beat me before Danny Green" & then I read "let them shoot jumpers". I mean, y'all can't be serious right now.
Let's talk about the first point. Parker is the best player on the floor for the Spurs, with Duncan 2nd. You can't play a "let Parker beat you" game, because that's precisely what will happen. He has the ball in his hands more than anyone. He gets a few (but not alot) of buckets off pure iso's. The rest of the time, he's running the PNR, or the Loop (where he hands off to Leonard/Green/Manu, then runs off 3 screens to the other side of the court). Which will either get him a short floater, or if it's defended well, right into another PNR. Know why the PNR is so effective? When you have 2 players that know how to run it (like Parker/Duncan...hell, even Splitter is good with it to an extent) it puts so much pressure on the defense. Either you get a hard hedge, resulting in either a switch or double (and at this point, Parker can find his man (Duncan/Splitter) off the double)...and now the defense is rotating which leads to what? An open shooter
Should the switch happen, well, time for Parker to 
So what are you gonna do? You're gonna glue the other 4 guys to their man (which is practically impossible in the PNR game) and let Chalmers/Cole/even Lebron try and check Parker? Dude would set an NBA Finals record for points in a game if you did that. Noone on Miami can stay in front of him. Of course that won't happen, even if they wanted it to, cause Miami's D is too un-disciplined. And really, who in the hell would sit and watch as Parker repeatedly attacked an unguarded rim?
As far as Duncan? The Spurs don't really run their offense thru him at all anymore, yet the only guy on Miami that can guard him is Haslem. I still don't understand why they don't let him work on Bosh more, cause Bosh is just over-matched by Duncan, 37 or not. I wish they would just feed Timmy and let him work for a game...I bet he could have one of them throwback 35-15 games. But alas, that's not the San Antonio game anymore, and really, how can you argue with their results?
As far as letting them shoot jumpers? I knew I remarked on this during Game 1, so let me post a tweet here:

NastraFloorGeneral huh? Again, as you can see by the date, that was during Game 1. Then, this happened. So yeah, go ahead and "let" them shoot jumpers. See how that works out for you.

Thank you
I was arguing against letting Parker beat you , because he will if you leave him in single coverage with no help . They'd really just be Hoping Parker misses a ridiculous amount of shots with this strategy 
and let them shoot jumpers 
so then they just hoping the spurs are cold . The heat really just need a complete effort from bron and wade no loafing on defense and efficient offense

H-Town it's NOT our year
If you watch the video, he wasnt getting open by coming off screens or anything. They simply was just leaving him open and it was mostly Lebron (more lebron) and Wade

All that video shows is the catch and the shot. Danny Green isnt camping out behind the line and magically finding himself wide open. Anybody who has watched this series can see how he's getting those looks
edit: And after further review theres PLENTY of examples of Green using screens and off-ball movement in the video, what are you watching?

he wasnt coming off screens. Most of it shows players leaving him to help defend another person. Watch it again
