1. Grow up, grow a collective pair, stop moping around because it's physical and meet force with force - or go home. Probably the most important thing this team can do.
Then:
1. If Miami goes zone again, I'd get Tatum into the middle of it with the ball in his hands. He's probably our best overall combo scorer/play maker. I'd consistently flash him into the middle of the zone and make it a priority to get him the ball once he's there.
2. Bam is generally too big for Theis and too fast for Kanter. I'd actually "play" Robert Williams. I assumed he was injured last game and unavailable.
3. The Heat are jamming the dribble of our wings at the top of the zone, blitzing with doubles. We're not going to get into the middle of the zone trying to beat those doubles off the dribble. So again I'd make it a point to get Tatum into the middle of the zone as much as possible.
4. Play "hard" for 48 minutes and don't assume just because we get a big lead the other team is going to lay down. We need to learn that lesson - it'a common one for young teams to learn...
I firmly believe we're the better team (Hayward would help a lot, but even without Hayward I think we're better). But we can't just think we're better - we have play better and prove with what we're doing on the court in a focused, forceful way.
