    There ya go. Melo hedged and guess what? The pass went the other way and the Blazer got lucky and they missed the shot. Melo was about a second and a half late but he did hedge.

    Erik Spoelstra did not think that was a great strategy in Miami.

    A layup or a pass that leads to a three from the other side. This isn’t brain surgery. Hedging is a stunt. Not a defensive strategy.

    Can't get over how great they're playing. Regardless of the outcome, I'm impressed!

    That was perfect hedge by Toliver and Melo it was perfect play. This where we miss Zach because he does decent job hedging and switching.

    Seems like we should be involving Whiteside more in the offense; we only have a couple guys who can score consistently.

    This is exactly what they needed. Just be in the game at the end. Keep playing and keep working.

    You're under-estimating everyone's ability to use the Copy & Paste function from previous game threads!

    I've seen Hassan do it this season man. It's also better than literally giving Luka a wide open shot every time there is a screen for him.

    Tolliver hedges and gives us our 3rd team foul. It's so easy though.

    Bullshit ref! No way that gets called if Doncic makes the layup.
