Hunter is waking up. I still have faith that Miami can hit a big scoring drought.

Stay aggressive Trae

All of our runs start with your scoring.

Shoot the damn ball.  I don't care if you go 1 - 18.

Yeah keep shooting so he can set the Playoff record for worse fg%.. We'd never hear the end of it.. smh

Hunter scores on two possessions then immediately gets benched.

Hell of a rip by Lowry.

[NBASupes]

Scust! Trae just having the worse day and his defense hasn't been bad today.

[Hawkmoor]

A clinic.  The Hawks might get swept.

He's already at 8%

[NBASupes]

So many adjustments need to be made. The biggest thing we need is our legs back.

Dude lives and dies Trae Young.  Nothing else matters.

[Peoriabird]

Young has 6 turnovers...Capela would have zero impact on preventing this so please stop with the Capela nonsense

Y’all see why I’m a closeted Heat guy since homeboy arrived.  Long series though.

[Carmine]

On to the next one

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The Heat are showing the proper effort that you have to exert on defense.  None of them guys are taking any plays off.  Not even weaker defenders like Robinson.

They are effectively keep Trae out of the paint.  And all of this 3 point shots are short, due to the pressure.  He has to find a way to either continuously get to the line or find his shot in the midrange.

But then again, we're not running a lot of pick and roll either without Capela.

If Collins is good to go for about 20 - 28 minutes, I expect him to start Game 2.

Live and learn, and get ready for the fight on Tuesday.

Delon and John the only dudes who can stomach looking at their +/- right now.

[h4wkfan]

If we just hit half the wide open 3s we have missed it’s likely a single digit game. Good heat d and tired legs is not a good combo. Play to win the 2nd half for some momentum for game 2. 

im also a fan of us picking up the “they can’t call every foul” mindset the heat have.

26 assists to 9 what?
