  1. Bad take. You need to show how many 3 point attempt from heat instead of percentage, denver forcing you to shoot 2

  2. BBALLBREAKDOWN, You don't know basketball. The game has always been an in-the-paint game and will be forever. It is just much easier to score and rebound in-the-paint. Why do you think winning basketball players are tall? Sure, some teams can play winning basketball behind the 3-point line, but it is inconsistent and often misses the mark. No team in the NBA would draft Steph Curry today ahead of Nikola Jokic. You are over-thinking the numbers and the game.

  3. u fail to account that all those play in game 4 and 5 are close 3,4,5 points etc. These close point maybe lead all heat player to take action quickly than their standard offense sequence.
    So i cant really blame all those drive to rim instead passing to open corner.

  4. Miami was good after game 2. I think historic performances by Jokic and Murray who both had triple doubles stole Miami's soul.

  5. “Bam has to know he’s been struggling to finish”. As my girl is out of the country visiting family I can relate. 😢

  6. they were just trying to capitalize on attacking "the worst defender to ever play in the NBA" but they find out too late that the media lied and he is actually an elite level defender

  7. maybe the heat wanted to be aggressive…1 match they only attempted 3 or 4 ft

  8. Might be a consequence of Game 1. They were accused of not playing aggressive enough. They only got 2 free throws and kept bricking their jump shots. Maybe the plan was to play more aggressive and attack the rim, especially after game 3, when Denver started to turn up the effort on the defensive end.

    I don't know where I saw this stat, but Denver's defense, during the regular season, was very good at protecting 3 pointers and not so good at protecting the rim, which may have lured the Heat into something they do not want to do. The shooting in this series was for some reason abysmal though. So maybe they didn't want to be to dependent on three pointers and shooting variance and lose like they did in Game 1.

  9. Miami Heat's failure to have a 6'11 TALL-BALL CENTER they can feed in the low post with Bam Adebayo at Power Forward.

  10. You can do the exact same video even for the dreaded warriors.
    Meaning i see all teams doing the same. Because paint shot's percentage probably is better than 3 point percentage. And there is a chance of interception in almost 50% percent of the videos which you have chosen.

  11. You nailed it coach. Heat looked like they took their foot off the gas on maximizing their 3 point output; And Jimmy Butler had a steady-Eddie kind of finals.
    I expected Butler to be the key for the Heat, very aggressive, getting his buckets, and generating open looks for teammates. But it didn't happen.

  12. Butler and Spo got exposed in the Finals. Butler was passive AF and he made poor decisions throughout the Finals. Spo kept putting… wait for it, Cody freaking Zeller on Joker 😂
