Why has JT shooting free throws become an adventure?

It is such a relief not having to see that freakish 7 foot mobile, strong mega-athlete anymore.

amen

Miami's defense is good, but you can clearly see they're lacking the interior D and size that Milwaukee has. Tatum looking like he's going to have a field day with this D in this series. Much more easy penetration this series, leading to better inside scoring.

Also, it's amazing what them not having a Hall of Fame type talent like Giannis does to our defense. There's so much more room for error and aggressiveness with our D when you don't have to contend with a force like Giannis every play down.

Smothering defense. That's been this team's one constant since mid January. It's Championship Defense.

What a start.  We are locked in.

It's comical to watch the Heats players try to guard the Jays so far.  Vincent trying to guard Brown?  Please.  Struss on Tatum?  Come on.

Tatum is so smooth! Love seeing him improve game after game.

Our coach really got them to buy into D.

Feels so much easier doesn't  it?

This would be a crushing defeat giving who we have out coming off a game 48 hrs ago. Long way to go I know

[kiwiceltic]

wow this Miami starting 5 outside of Butler & Bam is weak, matchup gold all over the court right now

amazed we caught Miami coming out so flat this game.  looking good for the C's so far

They haven't played anyone yet. We are coming off playing the two best teams in the East!!!

i think u are on to something sir

Very true. The defenses they've played thus far can't even kiss our shoes. They're clearly shell-shocked by our aggressiveness on that end thus far.

One thing I wont miss this series is Giannis bull moves into us in paint every other play.
