Game Thread: Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals Thread

[avalon2423]

So our whole purpose of getting Oden was for Hibbert and now its time for him and we keep him inactive? He had a bad game against him, let him redeem himself.

Also worth noting: the Heat were in the positive in quarters 2-4 during last season’s Conference Finals, -6.3 efficiency in the first.

This is just another case of the Heat staff over-valuing the scrub battier… this puts a burden on CB as well.

 

[Paolo305613]

With UD in the lineup it is considered small, with scrub battier its a small and worse lineup

 

[avalon2423]

Our first shot was a Bosh 3? Ughhhh

 

[avalon2423]

2 bosh 3s? Ridiculous

 

[Paolo305613]

Wouldnt you know it -- scrub with a back-court violation

 

[Paolo305613]

another pass intended for scrub battier turns into a turnover… as always

 

[Paolo305613]

a lucky 3 from scrub battier

 

[avalon2423]

Missed FT cant happen

 

[Paolo305613]

The fact that we cant make FTs at a consistent rate given the make up of our team is troubling - yet not surprising - this team doesnt work on the things they need to work on… they just sit around doing other shit , eating shit… no reason for FTs to still be a problem for them

 

[Paolo305613]

Not gonna win this game/series by settling for 3’s

 

[Paolo305613]

Paul George a 3 in the face of scrub battier

 

[Paolo305613]

Spo finally removes scrub battier from the game so we should be able to get back into this one now

 

[Paolo305613]

They asked for it - an unnecessary slow and lackluster start for the Heat when you start the scrub

 

[Paolo305613]

LBJ again sitting too long

 

[Andresrenee]

Looks like their top players playing ours to a draw right now.

 

[Andresrenee]

Too many 3s...not enough driving. First quarter hurt with them hitting everything in site and now playing us plus 1

 

[Paolo305613]

CB should be released immeditately if he takes another 3 - its a wasted possession and points the otther way when we take a 3

 

[Paolo305613]

UD about to come in - this is wishful thinking but hopefully means they have given up on scrub battier
