Every available player for MIA saw at least one minute. All but one of the Clips, who have reverted to being Sterling-esque. The "Heat's" largest lead was 38, L-A C-C'S largest tyoo. It was never a game. The whole 4Q was garbage time and L.A. made the margin less deplorable with a +15 4th.
We shot 53% on 100 possessions. We took an astounding 46 triples and made a ridiculous 52% of them. Not much a game like this is going to tell you.
Individually, some players and numbers that stand out:
Norman was team-high with 30, tied for team high with 32'. He was +33, tied for second team high.
Davion. Unsung "Off Night" Davion. team-high with +37. 16 points, 12 asts, 2 t.o.s (6-1 is exceptional), 2 steals in 31'.
Bam 27 and 14 in 32'
Andrew: 22 in 32, 9 rebs, 3 assts, 3 t.o.s, 3 blocks. That stood out for a guard.
Tyler, among the starters, was once again low man in +/-, still a great +12 if you ignore the blowout. He took 15 shots, 3rd high, played starter-low.
Nobody on the bench was above water in +/-. In fact, they were albatrosses: -10, -2, -13; Kel'el was -16 in 16'. Every time Kel'el set foot on hardwood he leeched a point a minute. Dru Smith was the anchor man, -18 in 16'. 3J was -13 in 21'.
I'm glad Tyler shot less frequently. Tyler's like a black hole, the ball goes in, it doesn't come out.
Glad that Norman took the most shots. Tyler: Spo wants New Miami. You can't hold the fucking ball; you don't have the green light to shoot at will Let Davion play point and rotate the way the wheel calls for. Learn to pass the fucking ball, Tyler. You had two asts tonight, tied with two others who played 21+ mins. 3J had 5 asts in 8 fewer mins than you. Simone had the same number you did in 8 fewer mins. You are not fitting in, Herro. GET WITH THE FUCKING PROGRAM OR TAKE YOUR TALENTS ELSEWHERE.
I continue to see a Tyler problem that is gunking up a New Miami offense. He needs his role defined point blank.
We're playing .66 ball which translates to 55 dubs if we can keep this pace over 82. We;re in 3rd place, 3 behind Zollner.
