"The offense, though, will be a much harder challenge for Spoelstra and his charges."

-The Defector (previous)

Yeah?

-We outshot Ice 48%-47%.
-Zollner did outclass us 53%-38%
-We shot identically to Queens, 43%
-D. outshot us by one little peepy point 46%-45%.

Shooting does not explain 0-4.

-Against Ice it was rebounding, -18, and pts off turnovers, -14.
-Against Z it was shooting; (rebs -4).
-Against Queens it was rebounding, -11, and pts off turnovers, -10.
-Against D. it was missed FTs and rebounding, -9.

Somebody explain to me how a team with Giannis Antetokounmpo (9.9 reb/game career, 9.5 2026/27)and Bam Adebayo (9, 7.3) gets outrebounded in all four games, and badly, in three. Other than the obvious: Erik Spoelstra does not have his Bigs playing in positions (which don't exist since Spo plays positionless) where they can get boards.
