"Miami last year {2021-22] was a top shooting 3pt team"..........
I did. They were 3rd. https://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/three-point-pct?date=2022-06-17
They basically ran that team back.
Many of us were frustrated as they did not shoot well during the season and we think its "Man, knicks suck, we letting a bad team shoot good!!!!"
Fact is they used the regular season as "preseason". Sneaky ****ers!

Also noted: Miami shot 45% from 3 against Milwaukee, 31% against the Knicks and 51% against Boston in their only game so far.

We can obviously conclude that Thibs is the only coach so far that knows how to get his team to defend the 3point line appropriately.

I thought we suck at defending the three? Remember?

Hart could have shaded over better towards Brunson. I definitely would have been happy with him shooting a 3 there. He wasn't shooting well this series, but he made plenty of clutch late 3's in his short time with the team.

Anyway not hating on Jalen at all, who was superhuman when our backs were against the wall. Just a total superstar performance. I bet you he will take this mistake and use it as his own motivation to come back even better next year. Was just his first year here and his first year as a full time go to player. I believe he will be even better than what we saw this year.

Spo’s strategy against Brunson by having two on ball defenders with him will be copied a lot next year. We need a Center who can actually hit a jump shot that’s the only way you counter that and keep defenses honest

LOL, PhilC offering "That's the only way" for Thibs. That's comedy from mr "conspiracy".

Grimes was a PG in high school. His handles should be good enough to help get the ball up. Hell, he should be able to initiate the initial movement of the offense within a pass or 2 of getting it to Brunson to really drive the offenseive set.

I think Grime's draft scouting reports listed a lack of concentration with ball at times. We saw that a couple of times this season with boneheaded plays. I think it's something that can be improved upon with more reps tho. But I think Grimes will be more of help on offense when he starts hitting thees at a higher clip.

100%. That was my biggest gripe with him, and the high expectations everyone had for him. The kid's a dog. But it's like a easily distracted but well meaning dog on crack. He seems coachable though, so I think he can work through it.

You may have stumbled on to a very effective life philosophy there.
