Game plan seems pretty simple to beat the heat, guard the 3 point line and force them to shoot 2’s
our offense is suspect and predictable, the heat shoot 3's, we hit mid range 2's.
In ths fckng day and age, we have only attempted three 3 pointers, while the heat have taken 18

Yea man Lee had 2 critical passing turnovers that gave the heat the lead

That is why I think we need to stop ISOing KP so much on the midpost and try and get him 3s in PnR and let Kanter go to work on lowpost.
there's just no spacing, they pass the ball and stand 3 feet away..

We need go back to basics and get him open looks at the basket.
agree
I don't get the offense Jeff is trying to run
There's not enough 3 point shooting options and little open shots for KP.
A good offense in today's league is where you can get good looks - 3 point shots- off and one where your stars can get scoring chances.
I don't see ball movement at all from CLee, Thomas, Kanter.
Porzingis is a one on one guy.
Last year Jeff let Phil get all the blame.
This year? Sorry this is on him.
He's supposed to get these guys to run and play with freedom without the Triangle
Instead we are a slow grind it down type of team
BTW Jeff is also making this call because he is starting a slower less skilled starting 5.

He's made no adjustments now that the scouting report is out in full, i guess thats why phil insisted on the triangle right about this time last yr

We have lost 7 of 9 3-13 on the road and no starting lineup changes.
No adjusments in the offense.
It's the same thing we have been trying to do since Detroit road loss.
Just don't get it ... does he not see the team needs more open looks and more 3 pointers?

The lack of three point shooting is weird. We have Doug who launches every time and misses a lot, no one else seems to want to shoot a three. Lee gets s a couple and that's it. Feels like KP hasn't hit one in years and Ron and Frank don't hit any threes consistently. Can't win the NBA without hitting some threes. Don't want to see a team that chucks every time down the floor, but this is just so strange.
Philly just CRUSHED detroit
Baker is playing solid D tonight, I get that he's hurt, but he cant play shooting guard, and not shoot. Not surprising we're in this situation with so little scoring from our guards.
