The shooting difference was huge in the first half. MIA hit so many jumpers in the mid range. Hopefully that will flip in the second.
Things will turn. We'll hit 3s, the bench will come alive. Frankly we've played pretty crappy and are still even. It'll start to click like in Atlanta. We'll win this.Heat shot chart. Forcing a lot of mid range/floaters but they are making everything.![]()
This is our biggest issue this game and this season. Last season it was our biggest strength and this season its our weakness.We can't win with 20% 3pt shooting. 2-10.
I have thought they have been pretty good, if a little homerish (which i guess they should be)All the Miami announcer can say on every 3 is "kaboom". Ugh.
I agree that it was a flop but it was also a foul. Clarkson shoved him with his forearm. Hard enough to move lowry and provide clarkson with a better shot at getting the rebound (a foul) but not hard enough to knock him down (flop)Clarkson is hurting us but that was a flop from Lowry.
So the basic level of defense we are playing seems to have gotten better. We are playing better d on the perimeter. Hopefully this can hold, and translate into the playoffs. Because our 3-point defense has been solid. So far.This is our biggest issue this game and this season. Last season it was our biggest strength and this season its our weakness.
Last year team 3 point % was 39%
This season so far its 33%
The good news is that last year our opponents shot 34% from 3 and this year they are only shooting 26.5% from three. So even though we are sucking from three our opponents are sucking more.

Bogie with a 3 and a turn around jumper.
