Duncan Robinson is a problem. 

Of course he decides to show up in game one.  He’s been DNP-Ed a few times this season he’s been so inconsistent.

Haven't been able to comment until now, but do you guys feel like Heat defense is allowed to be physical as hgell and we are getting called for touch fouls?  Why does Butler get whistles when he barrels into the paint like a running back but JC/Hunter/Wright get nothing while slapped and body checked over and over.

This was basically a schedule loss either way but if that type of officiating continues its going to be a long and tiring series.

I'm not saying that it will change the score.. although momentum means a lot... but You have to call the game evenly.  If it's Physical, let it be physical for both sides... if it's touch fouls let it be touch fouls for both sides.

I was sleep like some idiot how did they defend Trae in the first half?

True.  Long rest at home versus no rest.  Can’t be getting waxed next game tho.

[NBASupes]

Butler has cooked JC and Gallo. Delon D on Herro been elite

No... This is a lesson...

Scoring inside... passing...  moving without the ball.  Making the next pass.  All of this is important.

Bruh what the hell.  

[klharper]

Can we get the third string in already? C’mon Nate

I think we need to try to do the same thing.  Or Trae needs to really start going back to foul baiting and see if he can affect the game that way.

[NBASupes]

Butler showing his ass. 

What this blowout time has showed me is JC needs to start and Gallo needs to come off the bench for game 2.

LMAO, Atlanta wasn't getting any calls today. Foul baiting wouldn't have worked.
