all i have to say is what the *@%+ is going on @ the FT line ??? what was it 17-39!!.... still this loss doesn't frustrate as much as the GSW loss
off to Denver a place Miami hasn't seen a W in a while hope 2 change that
YEP. And that continues to be the REAL issue with this team throughout the entire games that they've played. Make no mistake I'm Incredibly pleased with how often they're attacking the basket and the frequency of which how they're maintaining aggression but as a collective, it is IMPOSSIBLE to continue momentum when you shoot that poorly from the FT line. It filters into your psyche as a player even as evidenced by Bron taking more shots late game instead of continuing to go to the Basket.
All in all, not a major issue that can't be corrected and/or improved with some intense drills in practice which I know will be waiting for them arriving back home to Miami after Denver. No worries .... absolutely no need to either. Fun game nevertheless
Idk if they make the same amount that's the problem. Talent wise its the same but money issues remain.

Spoelstra shouldve had them slow the game down. They were trying to play at a fast pace that was only benefiting the Nuggets. Like I said, you cant run and gun with a team of shooters. Especially when you don't have any consistent shooters of you're own. They were missing shots and struggling to handle Nene in the paint. If it's not working and the opposition is pulling away then make the changes that need to be made in order to win the game. I really forgot how much of a noob Spoelstra can be. Slow it down, bring Bosh back into the fold to make his 10-15 footers, have Bron down in the post as well getting double and triple teamed only to pass it out to one of several open guards for an open shot. After a while of that they'll move from that very restrictive zone, start playing more man and then Wade and LeBron can do what they get paid to do.Originally Posted by alex2182

What defensive schemes need to be placed when there is no effort.The game against the Warriors they just couldn't get a shot to fall and didn't close out on shooters, so next game they go man where CP3 slaughters Cole, Chalmers, and Bosh bringing double teams that gave Caron space to hit. Tonite they let them get ahead and didn't get momentum back. With three days off ya'll should be able to beat the Spurs
