    This team is so trash. Terrible at getting rebounds. Swis cheese defense when will we fire stotts ever?

    This. You've got a lousy crew and they screw you over with one bad call. You challenge it and get it corrected, but now you have no way of addressing the next three horrible calls.

    Dame has literally been a different player lately, wonder what's going on with him?

    With all the load management in the league right now, why can’t we give Melo a DNP - Rest? I would love to see how the 2nd unit performs without him in there.

    He has 0 options out of them. Guys are open but he has no window to get them the ball.

    Good teams trap him well and we play Dame into it and give him no options.

    And it’s been like this for at least six years. It truly takes a special kind of moron to not be able to solve such a universal problem. For fuck’s sake watch a GSW game and see why teams don’t dare trap Steph Curry.

    I think it’s a combination of him being hurt and the fact that we’re playing better teams that know to trap and blitz him incessantly because we don’t have an answer for it.

    It was close. So Dame had to take a couple of unnecessarily more-difficult shots because he'll bet that he can pull it out at the end. We have a 3-on-1 to tie, miss the shot and don't hit the offensive glass. RoCo misses a 3 and doesn't follow his shot which would have been a pretty easy offensive rebound for him. Now we're down 8.

    Nurk's always hurt. If he's not hurt, you still don't know what player you're getting. Anyone putting their faith in his hands right now deserves whatever they get.

    I don't think it has anything to do with CJ running the point because our offense does not rely on a PG. The 2nd unit as a whole is just not very good.

    We have 10 more rebounds than they do but go off.

    yes, but his reads have been slow. spoelstra is a genius at mucking up offenses. dame is forcing stuff. we know terry isn't helping at all, but shots like that pull up contested three when he had both roco and CJ under the hoop can be avoided

    I think this is a good opponent for using 3 guards. It worked in the 1st quarter. Miami traps a lot. We need the 3rd ball handler and we need to attack the basket.

    Smart point guard would get rid of ball the trap. If they don't work on then it's the coach but if they do then it's the guard fault but we don't know what they work on so I am saying it's probably little bit of both fault.
