Nets have perimeter guys that can actually make shots.
Of course shots will fall in but will it be enough of that drop with dudes on 'em like a crackhead's mouth to a crackpipe. :stopitslime:

You're not getting what I'm saying but that's my fault for being so vague.

The Heat run a blitz in nearly every pick n roll becuz of their athleticism. The problem with running the blitz at the pg is that it usually opens up someoneon the perimeter. If the other team had guys or there that can consistently make open shots, you're forced to switch and that will leave a big on the PG. That's not good.

:yeshrug: we'll see but their rotate game is sick. Of course Garnett gets 5 free fouls that do not get called.

Pretty much why Danny Green went crazy in the Finals

The Heat's trump card is sticking LeBron on whoever is cooking and sticking with the shooters.

The way to counter that is have a solid low post scorer... and the Nets don't have a big man that can do that. Sure, KG can post up but he'll be shooting fade aways from the block and doesn't have the quickness to get to the rim off a step. Plumlee and Blatche? :dead: no way in hell

Nets need to shoot 60% from 3 to win the series and even that isn't going to be enough.

The Heat switched it up breh, they stuck LeBron on Tony Parker and they stayed on the shooters which is why Green was rendered useless.

The result? Tim Duncan getting 30 points and 17 rebounds at age 37.

The Nets don't have a post scorer of Duncan's caliber to make the adjustment to play inside outside as SA did. They do have the shooters as Dallas did in 2011 but they don't have Dirk who is always a matchup nightmare.

The only way to beat Miami 4 out of 7 is to have effective bigs and also be able to space the floor with enough shooting and penetration.

It is economics and one has to pick their poison.

Let me get this straight guys...

The Nets had the personnel to beat the Heat FOUR times in the regular season, but now they lack the talent and personnel to beat them again?

I think the Heat will win this series but some of y'all are bugging with this 4/5 game talk. Did the Heat turn into some different team that the Nets have never faced? Regular season games matter, ask Pacers, Houston, Wizards, Clippers etc. Doesn't mean the team that won the most games is gonna sweep but it just means that these games will be tough for both teams.

People said the same thing a few years ago when Chiraq beat us in the regular season. What happened during the playoffs? 4-1 Heat
