🍎-πŸ”₯

 


I mentioned that after the game. I featured that point.


I don’t remember if I mentioned that in print but I did tell my family, with whom I watched the game, that Miami seemed very handsy and sticky in the second half and 🍎 seemed, yeah, like they had lost their fight. They weren’t as energetic as they had been in the first half when they were getting every goddamned rebound, blocking shots—You could see, NY was daring the “Heat” to try to penetrate, it was like they had surrounded the paint with barbed wire. 

What HT adjustments can a coach make to account for the way the “Heat” were in the second half and the way NY was? The play call that Spo made to have one Heater leak back on a NY possession and then turn Lovey Dovey Turtle Dovey into Aaron Rodgers was huge. That seemed to me in real time to have broken  the “Knicks” will, but Kevin first has to get the rebound before he can gunsling the ball. How did he do that? Why wasn’t Mitchell Robinson getting those boards?
