No, Spo outsmarted himself that game. Whiteside was doing okay and the game was close; he thought going smaller would help, it didn't :martin:
Kevin Love went off when Whiteside sat and our defense got worse when he was not on the floor.
I hope Spo learned from that. Spo does hate Hassan though :pachaha:
Love had 22 in the first quarter, as I recall

Hassan did not play the entire 1st. Love came out hot and Spo pulled him 5-6 minutes in. Love had 8 pts then Spo put the blame on Hassan, pulled him, Love went for 22. There was a point in the game when we put Hassan in, our defense got better and started closing the gap; Spo sits Whiteside again and boom our D is crap.

You don't watch Heat games :francis:
We play with depth and as a cohesive unit. Wade is obviously our closer and is still good at it. The Dragon thrives in fast pace games and solid on defense. Josh Richardson is really underrated, he'll do just fine guarding anyone on the perimeter besides Lebron. Tyler is hot and cold, so he'll give us one 20+ scoring game per series. James Johnson will be the important piece in a series vs Cleveland. No one stops Lebron, but JJ will limit him if his minds right. He's solid on O, if he's on. Kelly Olynyk in a series against Cleveland will make the high IQ plays, he'll be fine as long as he's not guarding Lebron in space. Wayne Ellington has a role and does it well. Bam is having a good rookie campaign. Justise is slowly turning it around, still scared he'll miss 10 layups in a game though.
With our team, we just need to get it close and have Wade do his thing.
Is Love going to be your center against Whiteside? For real? :patrice:
That might be a problem if Hassan's hips haven't healed up yet. If he's 100% healthy, I'm not worried though.
I see alot of nonsense rn breh im not gonna lie. A team thats barely making the PO is more of a threat of getting swept by LeBron than beating him. I think its completely astounding to be so assured you would beat them. I know you got some marginally talented cats but marginally talented, cohesive teams aint whats gonna cut it. Raps are led by two of the best in the game positionally, and a potential MVP candidate. Thats why they a threat. Cleveland can scheme Hassan to do a lot less damage and after that its GG

I can respect your take, it is fair. From the outside, I understand why you would feel that way. As a fan of this team, watching and studying them all year, and knowing how vulnerable the Cavs are right now, we can knock Lebron off or at the very least it'll be a tough fought series.
Outside of the Raptors (terrible matchup for us), we can beat any team in the East in a 7 game series.

its dependent on what the role playing guys do. I guess if Miamis core could just vastly play above their belt and everyone on Cleveland sans Love/Bron shyt the bed, they'd be in a dire situation.
