Was a really good ball game. The Heat just do not quit under any circumstances, down 1 or down 21, them boys just compete. My only concern is Heat made 17 3pts and only won by 3 and shot a BLAZING 50%. I think DEN took the Heat best shot but to win this series DEN has to play better. Down by 11 then up by 15, back down to 10+, and lose by 3. The kicker is, I don't think MIA can win W/O shoothing at least 40% from 3pt. I believe DEN played the laws of averages of MIA 3pt % coupled with probably the worst PnR defense I've seen in a while. They also played very undisciplined committing bone-headed fouls

Kevin Love in the starting lineup paid out dividends and was an underrated factor for the HEAT. Would if they explore that throughout the series and curious to see how they integrate Herro back into the rotation. Spo got his work cut out managing that rotation bcuz bringing him back will cause disruption in their rhythm with him being out since the 1st rd. If they were down 0-2, then yeah why not, MIA would be desperation mode but now with the series 1-1, it's a series that's winnable by the team that wants it more. Game 3 & 5 will be critical.

The Jokic debate in whether making him a scorer or facilitator, I believe he scored out of necessity bcuz he felt his team didn't have it going offensively. They were missing makeable shots and came out flat so Jokic took up the initiative to come out aggressive early. On the other hand, MIA defense took alot away from what DEN loves to do.
 
He really was.

He was one of the main people who was getting lost on switches defensively and on offense he didn’t do as much cutting as usual. Not to mention settling for a lot of bad jump shots.

Porter Jr. & (not as bad overall as Porter) Caldwell Pope didn’t play well at all.
Porter’s been damaged goods for years now. On par for him to have atleast one terrible performance lol
 
I see Winslow was hurt at the time lol

Speaking of, I would want him back as a role player but he got a lot of baggage with Miami so I doubt he would

Whats your keys for game 3?
 
The series being 1-1 going back to Maimi without a Butler game is good
I was going to say earlier being tied going home with butler not playing well yet and with Herro looming in the background is pretty good

Caleb played game 2 sick as well and has time to get better

It’s also great to have decent finals experience throughout the roster compared to only guys like KCP and Jeff green having exp on their end
 
What point of the game would you first check Herro into the game?

My thinking is end of the first quarter to get his feet wet with your best unit. If that goes well he starts the 2nd quarter with the 2nd unit. If it doesn't go well you resume your regular rotation.
