Man, basically though out the year they've had this unbelievable 4th quarter defence where they would just turn that switch on. That was what basically gave them majority of the wins they got this season. What happened to that? Seems like they've lost it..
Re: What happened to Miami's 4th quarter lock down D?
They're being less aggressive with doubles, because they know that SA moves the ball too well. If they gamble, they'll get punished all night.
The Heat never had a textbook defense. They don't have the personnel to shut you down. They're risk takers, and now they are being punished by a careful team.
Re: What happened to Miami's 4th quarter lock down D?
Their aggressive defense shuts down scrub teams with crap ball handlers, but plays right into an experienced and ball-movement savvy team like the Spurs.

Have people just started watching this stuff last week?
When it comes to discussing topics about the Miami Heat and or LeBron, people lose all perspective, logic, and reason. I've learned this quite some time ago.

What are you talking about? LeBron made him look like a fool falling down and fumbling the ball around. All he could do is toss up a desperate shot at the end of the shot clock. I just happened to go in.
All you can do is force your opponent to take a bad shot. They're called low percentage shots, not 0 percent shots. Wouldn't expect a dude with a Melo avatar to understand defensive concepts though.

what are you talking about? Lebron completely bit on the spin and like an amateur went for the block, Parker followed through for a wide open baseline jumper

He was 4 for 7, with 8 points in the 4th quarter. 5 for 11 the rest of the game.

@ ppl who thought shutting down the pacers was an accomplishment.
