I don't plan on watching a minute of the Finals, but my guess is Denver didn't leave him wide open for three pointers?  Didn't play a really soft drop coverage?

Strus, Martin and Robinson with a combined 2-23 shooting night

Of course  ::)

Sadly they actually did. martin and Strus missed wide open 3 pointers all game....

It was obvious IMO this was going to happen. Martins "Jeremy lin" run is over and he's back to being an undrafted player...

Not surprisingly, Miami's shooting fell to earth.

Strus was 0-8 on catch and shoot threes, six of them were wide open.

Martin made one catch and shoot three and missed literally everything else, including 5 shots where he was the primary ball handler for the shot (e.g. held the ball between 2-6 seconds).

No matter how you slice the shooting, these dudes had a bad game:

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

I predicted this and wish I could have bet my mortgage on it. They were obviously going to turn back into pumpkins immediately.

Yep, Miami was 5-16 on wide open 3-pointers.  16.7% percent of their 3's were wide open.  Compare that to the 58.2% they shot against us on wide open 3s, on 9.6 attempts per game.

Caleb Martin missed today’s practice with an illness

Imagine if he has a bad Game 1, then misses tomorrow with illness. So annoying

Sadly the modern NBA game has become a 5 on 5 three point shootout. You can actually see it in the finals.

Yet again, a no-show from this guy so far. Predictable.

Remind me how the Celtics lost to this scrub and their D-league bench again.

Wait, don't remind me.
