SVG said it best.

Heat double JT.

We play straight up on Butler.

That...is coaching

[tenn_smoothie]

Should have been layup + foul shot, cut the lead to 1. That was weak.

[Yuckabuck33]

This board is insane. Everybody whines about we have no dawgs. Then JB gets an offensive rebound in the middle of three Heat and tries to put it back while he's at the rim (instead of throwing it out for a 3- something else this board hates), and the response here is BENCH HIM. SMH

new to basketball?

Been watching for 35 years. And reading this board when it was still a part of SB Nation. But the atmosphere here is worse than ever.

[PAOBoston]

Why is Horford playing right now?

They want his shooting for the zone, I reckon.

The guy who shooting 15% from 3 in the plyoffs???

Terrible ball-handing by Tatum.

Refs bailed him out with a soft foul.

Yup, absolute choke job level ball handling

[Phantom255x]

2nd straight game Tatum is frozen out in the 4th quarter. Unreal

[celticinorlando]

I legit am ready for this season to be over. I find no joy in the team.

Beaten by a bunch of G leaguers

We do not just refuse to double Jimmy. We leave G Will out on an island against him. MIA clearing out half the court and letting Jimmy work G Will one-on-one.

Whoever you are. You give an NBA player, a top NBA player, that much time and room to attack a defender = they will score the basketball more often than not.

You can't give Jimmy that much space and time to work. If he can dribble the ball 10 times and nobody comes to help, that is a defensive breakdown.
