SOUND ON
A quarantine film breakdown
(So excuse some things lol)
Miami’s offensive base in life without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo is quite intriguing
One entry pass, four guys on the weak-side, and a ton of off-ball movement:

The Miami Heat are 7th in the NBA in net rating and Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry have played in just 14 of the 39 games together.

The Heat is 11-7 since Bam Adebayo went out, with 10 of those 18 games coming on the road. Oh, and Jimmy Butler has played in only six of those games. Crazy. – 8:26 AM

Tyler Herro in his last 14 quarters: 10 of 43 shooting. The Heat need him to step up in the second half in Portland, especially without Jimmy Butler and now Kyle Lowry. – 11:28 PM
