The Warriors will probably rest a week too while this series will be a bloodbath and triple overtime game 7.
Robert Williams can play drop, rim protect, and alter shots. Horford, despite age, is still a good switch big. Grant is 3&D and can switch. They have lot of defensive options at the front court. They run four switch with Rob playing drop. Against an injury ridden MIA, Heat can't score. If Rob goes to bench, they play Horford at the 5. Tatum at 6'8" is also a huge wing. Tatum and Brown are two-way.
The Heat mailed it in. Jimmy Buckets no showed( 6 pts on 3-14)and Tyler the Herro was out. No fire from the Heat. They gave it to Boston.
MIA got swarmed. No other competent scoring threat other than Jimmy. Play great defense all you want eventually a superior offense with a relentless attack will wear down the best of them. You must have multiple guys who can be offensive hubs in spurts and who can keep the offense going. Sure MIA was missing shots, but thats where having guys who can go get their own buckets is huge. Having 2-3 guys who can score and facilitate? Parade time. GS v BOS is going to be LIT! (watch me jinx the F out of the Celtics lol)
if it’s GS-Miami, I won’t watch a single second I still don’t like GS, and Miami is visual melatonin for me…the Heat don’t interest me whatsoever
Interesting comments from Spo last night. Lots of us are talking about how the games have not been competitive but he explained that the blowouts are because the two teams are so competitive. Weird I know but it sorta made sense the way he laid it out. He didn't think the Heat's problem last night was effort or desire. They want it so bad and came to play but legit got shut down and outplayed. The two teams are so good and capable that they can shut any other team down on a given night and go on a huge run. So he doesn't think either team has played poorly at times in the series, for him it's about the winning team beasting out. He says what the Celtics did to the Heat last night, the Heat can do the same thing to the Celtics. Basically when two teams are so competitive you aren't always going to get close games. You're going to get each team leveling up and going on huge runs at times. Or something. Haha. Go listen to his interview, he said it better than me. Not that I fully agree or disagree but it was an interesting take. Spoiler: video
