Denver solved Miami last night. Series is over.
You don’t what Jokic to be a play maker? Fine. He’ll just take over the game offensively until you adjust to make him a playmaker again.
How many times in the past 4 playoffs did we "solve" Miami, only to have them extend or win the series? Spo is too good at adjustments for the team to get "solved"
I know. It's like Miami was born to negate/kill Boston. We've had trouble putting them away efficiently in previous playoff encounters. 2011, 2012, 2020, 2022, 2023.
Anytime the C's match up with the Heat in the postseason it's bad news lol. Against other eastern conference foes no problem adjustments are there lol.
They are our kryptonite. Their zone stonewalls our slashers. Their composure leads to decent 3pt shots due to our panicky defense.
They know if they make things hard on our offense we'll make mistakes, and they cash in every single time. Their half court offense is nothing special. But our turnovers and wild shots lead to easy looks for them time and again.
It's unreal, and it's something Brad needs to think long and hard about when making roster changes.
It doesn't work against Jokic, because he will punish them inside. And he and Murray make intelligent passes when they get into trouble.
We are too one-dimensional and predictable. Which is why I love it when Marcus, The Jays, or even Rob etc post up. That is the answer. It does collapse their zone. We just didn't utilize it enough.
