April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

[Ale Xander]

Um come on

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

JB Still can’t make FTs

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf is going on???

 

[jablo1312]

jaylen in playoff mode from the line already

 

[Ed Hillel]

No no no Jaylen

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Miami has effectively mucked up the game. Now we see what happens.

 

[lars10]

The amount of contact the Heat are getting away with is once again fucking ridiculous

 

[JakeRae]

How is jumping off two feet and landing not a travel by Jovic?

 

[lars10]

That was a travel.

 

[Ale Xander]

Back on track like

 

[lars10]

How is jumping off two feet and landing not a travel by Jovic?

Classic double jump stop

How is jumping off two feet and landing not a travel by Jovic?

Something something personal growth something Heat Culture something something…

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf JB

 

[bigq]

KP for 3!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Illegal screen

 

[Spelunker]

That was a pretty dumb pass

 

[lars10]

Heat baskets for the most part have all been very tough..

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hacked on the arm lol

 

[bosockboy]

JB is a mess.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tatum had a wide open lane, that was a stupid 3

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Don’t need Tatum attempting heat check threes every time he touches it

 

[radsoxfan]

This main problem with this quarter is that it’s clear the Heat can just foul at will and it’ll result in a foul less than 5% of the time.

I don’t understand why the NBA wants this. It’s like the Pats vs the Colts WR back in the day. But being on the other side and far more egregious. It’s lunacy.

 

[osori]

JB is a mess.

The pass to PP in the corner was pretty sweet.

 

[nattysez]

Tatum and Jaylen need to set up plays rather than free-lancing every time they touch the ball.

 

[SteveF]

Winning on shot quality and shooting possessions. It's tough sledding in the paint with the way the game is seemingly going to be called.

 

[jablo1312]

Wright was playing like 6 steps off of White when Tatum had the ball vs Jovic the last possession. literally one dribble to the his left unlocks a wide open 3 for white. The Heat keep trying to fill in the gaps, just let them help and make a simple pass.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its always fascinating to see which players cannot get their shots off against playoff defense. And which role players etc manage to beat the pressure. This is where Miami has excelled in recent seasons - they seem to find those guys on the regular.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jaylen started hot and then went into Bad Jaylen mode where he tried forcing everything against 3-5 defenders.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Lol

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow

 

[jablo1312]

love-wright-jacquez-highsmith-robinson....they should annihilate this lineup

 

[osori]

Logo PP!

 

[bigq]

PP from deeeep!

 

[Ed Hillel]

TRAVEL

 

[Ed Hillel]

7 misses in a tow

 

[Spelunker]

What in the fuck are we doing?

 

[Ale Xander]

Just pitiful

 

[Caspir]

What the fuck are they doing on offense?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

How the hell are they finishing this quarter under 30?

 

[Ale Xander]

Horrid last 8 minutes

 

[Ed Hillel]

Make a GD shot

 

[bosockboy]

Don’t like their vibe at all.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Horford and Hauser building a house together.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Yikes. Maybe less threes for a bit

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Turned out to be a disappointing first quarter

 

[osori]

Hauser needs to hit those wide open corner 3's.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

What the fuck are they doing on offense?

Getting wide open looks?

 

[tims4wins]

Yikes. Maybe less threes for a bit

But they’re so hesitant in the lane.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Yikes. Maybe less threes for a bit

Miami is clogging the middle. They need to hit the open shots.

 

[Average Game James]

Even down 5, Miami has to like how that quarter went. After a quick start, Celtics played right into their hand…
