Game 3: Nuggets @ Heat (11/3 7:30PM) - Page 13 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

Ray also came up with one of the bigger defensive plays. His hustle lead to the long outlet pass by bosh ot Wade, to give us a 3pt lead with just over a minute to go

Yeah that play was huge.

This game was so infuriating for large parts, but in the end we got it done.

Really need to fix our defense though...all teams we've played have killed us. Either inside (Nuggets) or outside (Knicks), or both (Celtics).

Hopefully Wade and Lebron can have a signature game soon too. Who'se next?

Crazy how much the lower bowl filled out. I guess people just don't give a shit about being there until the 2nd quarter.

Watch most of the 3rd as well. While watching the Ray Allen 4 pt play over and over, I was shocked at how packed the lower bowl was at that point. Where the hell were those people for most of that game?

Ray with Jax in the post game show, for those that missed it

That video has that layup by Ray I was talking about. His finishing ability impressed me over the past couple of years in Boston. Great to see from a 37-year-old.

Here's some elaboration on that Battier quote and what I was talking about:

Quote:

“The most efficient shot in basketball pretty much is Ray Allen in the corner,” forward Shane Battier said. “I think, effectively, Ray Allen in the corner, has a higher efficiency than LeBron James at the rim, which is unbelievable, because LeBron is probably a top-five player in the history of the game of basketball.”
Battier, as usual, is correct. According to Court Vision analytics, Allen connected on 57.1 percent from the left corner last season which – because you get three points – is equivalent to 85.6 percent accuracy from two-point range. James converted only 75.4 percent of his attempts at the rim.

Just now getting to that Bosh video. Was hard to appreciate some of his shots due to all the stress over what was going on on the other end the whole game. The move around 4:10 is so sick. He really has shot-creating ability like a SF. Gasol seems to so often be his measuring stick due to their similar career arcs (both share the same career-high of 44, BTW), but Chris is so much more agile and skilled facing up.

Other thing I've noticed is some really nice looking sets we're running already. Lot of movement everywhere throwing off the D due to apparent confusion over whether or not to switch on screens and whatnot. At the end of the half, we ran the "Ray Allen Special," this time resulting in a Bosh dunk off a beautiful pass from LeBron. Spo seems to finally be figuring out ways to use everyone's strengths in the half court, often using Wade as an effective decoy, or having guys slip screens and roll to the basket. We saw a lot of standing around a la the last two seasons in NY, but this game seems drastically different. The offense doesn't seem far away from where it was in the Finals, which means we're way ahead of schedule. By the playoffs it should be pretty damn efficient.

@tomhaberstroh Accounting for the extra value of 3-ptrs, Ray Allen is effectively shooting 83 pct on jumpers this season. (via Synergy)
