Miami 4 for 4 from three to start
All of the pieces never seem to be together at the same with Bam out tonight, but soon we will see it all at once
And it’ll be pretty scary – 8:19 PM

So as we debated who might back up Dedmon, with Adebayo out, it’s neither Yurtseven nor Haslem, but Markieff Morris, who has five quick points. – 8:19 PM

Ja Morant and Steven Adams get the Grizzlies on the board with 4 FTs the last 2 possessions to get them on the board. Still no field goal yet – 8:15 PM

With Duncan Robinson’s first 3-pointer, he made it 53 consecutive games with a 3-pointer, four off the franchise record he set in 2019-20. He is the lone player in franchise history to do it in 50 or more consecutive games. – 8:14 PM

Bryn Forbes collects his ring. There’s always cool stories with role players in championship teams. Forbes torching the Heat in the first round sweep and out scoring Jimmy Butler will probably be the memory from the one year he spent in Milwaukee. Huge series. – 8:09 PM

Here are your officials for Heat vs. Grizzlies: Josh Tiven, Brett Barnaky and Derek Richardson. Somewhere up in the northern central environs of the country, @badunclep is nodding his head in approval of this trio. – 7:51 PM

Dewayne Dedmon is starting in place of sidelined Bam Adebayo for the Heat. So expect a fair share of Dedmon-Steven Adams collisions. – 7:40 PM

Expected Yurtseven to get the start but Heat go with Dedmon
Makes sense in terms of facing Ja Morant since he would tear him up in that drop
Should get some minutes off the bench tonight though – 7:36 PM

More notes on Taylor Jenkins availability:
– Bench offense will improve with time
– Wants to see improvements with perimeter defense
– Presence on the glass tonight is going to be key against Miami
– They want to control the pace and have Miami in halfcourt less – 6:25 PM

Remember when MJ scored 56 against the Heat in the 1992 playoffs?

Pitt, Miami tied with 20 minutes left.
Entering today, I would have thought Canes fans would have loved that spot.
Given the way the third quarter has gone, I am guessing they’re not the happiest folks on the planet right now. – 2:28 PM

Something interesting:
Miami’s been really good in transition so far, but they’ve also been really good at slowing down opposing transition offense
Charlotte and Milwaukee lead the league in fast-break frequency
Miami slowed both of them down
Memphis is 5th in that category – 2:10 PM
