pretty dull to be honest. Um, didn't, uh, and you know, Steve Kerr said at post game and I, you know, I thought he was right. I mean, this is kind of Miami's crowds vibe, which is, you know, he, he put it in a very complimentary way of like such a great city, so much to do. Nobody's ever too amped up. Uh, and you know, even talking to some of the warriors people, uh,
pre and post game, how much it didn't compare to Kevin Durant going back to Oklahoma city. Right. And obviously like there, that one was deeper and, and just, there was more nuance to that, but also that's a ferocious, uh, you know, I guess road atmosphere typically. And this isn't. And, you know, Jimmy Butler got some tepid booze, some cheers and some acknowledgement.
They were half-hearted. And the other thing is, I think the Heat kind of did this on purpose, but they did it pregame. Right. Which, you know, and this is a notoriously late-arriving crowd, right? They're just kind of lounging in from the beach or whatever. So, sure, I mean, you could tell, and, you know, Curb made this point also, like, the Heat were very motivated.
Eric Spolter had his team very motivated. Andrew Wiggins was flying around. Bam Adebayo was super aggressive offensively. Davion Mitchell played really well. You could tell that it meant a lot to the players, the coaches, the, you know,
know, front office, the organization, but it didn't feel like it did again with like in Oklahoma city, that was an entire city descending upon the warriors and Kevin Durant. It was not like that on Butler.
To be honest, I was at the De'Aaron Fox return game a couple of weeks ago in Sacramento and
that was like fiercer wow well that makes sense sacramento is a great crowd right yes agreed exactly yeah but you know he doesn't have the history or he certainly didn't have i mean it wasn't a great divorce but not that level but it wasn't butler's uh but yeah i mean i don't know it's so in a sense like the scene and this and the moment in the event was a little bit underwhelming yeah tonight yeah um
Yeah. I mean, it's the potential Achilles heel for sure. And they missed, you mentioned a 14 straight threes by the starters to start the game. I think they were like nine to 38 from three. Meanwhile, the heat were 17 to 24 from three. But some of it is just like bad luck, right? Moses Moody went on nine for three. He's been shooting it really well for, for a long period of time. Yeah. But yeah,
even Jimmy Butler, who without Steph is supposed to kind of be the offensive creator. Like he's scored 11 points, had a couple of assists. Of course, there was a lot of potential assists that were missed, but he hasn't been overwhelming offensively. He's had a couple of nights at a couple of quarters, like the quarter that Steph got hurt in against the Raptors, right?
Jimmy kind of, you know, took him home down the stretch and he's at moments. But I think,
I will say like if we're telling if we're going to be telling the postmortem on this team in the playoffs or play in theoretically, but probably in a playoff series, I think it is going to be they just couldn't score enough against long active defenses, you know, at the rim and from three and from a creation standpoint. And they're still despite being, you know,
the burden is not quite as tough on Steph Curry. I still think it's going to be too much against the best defenses, especially because, you know, Jimmy Butler doesn't have quite the offensive pop. I don't believe that he used to have, he's an all around great player. That's changed their team. And then the other thing, maybe we're going to get to coming at like the, the coming of reintegration.
Well, I'm glad you brought that on a smooth.
Yeah. I mean, they're talking about wanting to have more spacing lineups, getting Quentin Post out there more often, you know, and like Jonathan Kaminga is not, you know, you're more traditional, like catch and shoot spacer. When he was playing really well in the middle portion of the season before he sprained his ankle, he was being featured more.
It's kind of in some ways in like the Jimmy Butler role. He comes back to a team that Jimmy Butler's on and like, We'll see how they fit long-term on the court together. I'm not sure it's gone that great through seven, eight games, whatever it's been, because Jimmy Butler's kind of stagnant. They're isolating Jimmy Butler a lot more.
Kerr had some stats the other day that Jimmy Butler's the best isolation player in the league, according to their metrics. They're going to feature that. Typically around your more ball-dominant isolation guys, you want you know, space shooters who don't need isolations themselves. And I think Kaminga is trying to learn.
He's had a couple of games where his cutting has been very good and he does stuff that they really need, right? Powerful downhill slashing. But he also kind of wants to get to his mid Ranger at times. And he wants to be featured in defenses, sag off them, which naturally clutters the lane. So there's a little of that. And, and then the bigger picture two steps back is just like, I don't know.
