Heat defense

[volman]

They were certainly allowed to ramp up all of their physicality against a more finesse team like the hawks without ever getting into foul trouble. 
 

hell, Morris had the balls to even hold Hunter when he wasn’t even in the game. 
 

One thing they did well was press us… we couldn’t seem to figure it out or make them pay for it. 
 

Will the heat be able to be as physical without the foul calls next series?

We can beat the Heat but we do need someone to take Oladipo from them as well as Gabe Vincent.

Depends on who they get.

If they get Philly, you can expect them to go after Embiid's thumb.  They will be "hacking at the ball" but the hand is a part of the ball.  They will also be physical with Harden.   The disappearing act of Tobias Harris should get him fired. 

 

If they get Toronto... It's a wash.  Same tactics Miami uses, Toronto Uses. Toronto won't care if Miami isolates van Vleet.   But Toronto will make Butler do all the work.   Butler will have to be all 5 positions because Toronto plays the same way.

As much as i hate the sixers I'd love to see them beat down the heat.

Not enough time?  We saw that same defense some time before last night, I believe.  How long does it take to prepare to play against any defense?  Remember, these are professional players.  They are paid big $$$$ to play this game.  Last night wasn't their first time to step out on the floor.  It wasn't their first time to play as a team.  Dang, it wasn't their first time to miss free throws either.  Missed 4.  Lost by 3.

I just want whoever wins that series to get swept by the Bucks/Celtics in the ECF

The Heat are better than the Sixers, hell the Sixers gotta get past Toronto who is one miracle three away from being up in the series.

Yeah, I really want the Bucks to repeat this year. 

[macdaddy]

Yep.  Bucks are our only hope.  But Middleton being out makes them vulnearable.  When's he coming back?

Doubtful anyone is getting past the Heat this year, as long as Butler and Lowry are healthy.
