    We were down by 20 at one point in the second so at least we closed out the half well.

    that 2nd T on Lowry was total bullshit. If I was a Heat fan I'd be real pissed

    Blazers have outscored Miami by 14 points from the FT line

    How did we fail to notice the huge advantage we have inside until the last five minutes of the half? They have NO rim protection.

    ...looking at the halftime box score, I predict the Blazers will have a huge second half comeback and win by 10+ pts :crystalball:

    Thats mean if we was making them we probably be closer in this game. 76 percent from the line is not good for us due to we need every point possible to have a chance to win.

    Saying this for years
    Couple of observations:

    1. I played hoops with a big guy. One game in college, he comes in and says "I'm fouling out today." And he did. Maybe took him 10 minutes. That's what I see sometimes when I see Nurk. He got his act together in the last 6 minutes of the second quarter, but some of the shots and defensive breakdowns he had before that were like my buddy just wanting to be anywhere but on the court that day.

    2. We have a bunch of guys who can shoot, but we don't really have many shooters. I mean guys who can catch and shoot and they're open you just feel pretty good that it's going in.

    3. The Heat are a well-coached, well-constructed team. They have their couple of stars but the guys around them fit. Most of all, their role players make 3s off the catch with consistency and they scrap, scramble and hustle on defense, even if they're out-athleted.

    So far the biggest cheer from the crowd has come from the halftime entertainment. Some dude squeezed his body thru a toilet lid, and tennis racket, among other things. Quite funny.

    Offense starting to click and I see Simons little more agressive on offense but the problem is you got stop someone on the other end.

    Ant just needs to go for it and he'll be a huge offensive weapon every time he does.

    he’s getting to his spots with ease. Him missing shots has nothing to do with Powell.
