Unfortunately that's not the case with the heat. He's taking those jumpers all year and he's pretty good at it. It creates room on the inside for Lebron and Wade.

Yes, but a lot of his jumpers have just been in iso situations so far. I'll take those. It's a lot more dangerous when he starts hitting them off the screen and roll with LeBron or Wade.

if gray had a sneaky mid-range game like nesterovic then he would be lethal when people play off him

I think maybe, they're slightly trying to establish Bosh early in iso a bit because they think they have an advantage there....?? Not so sure myself. He's even settled a couple of times when Gray has been on him.

The difference between miami and raptors right now- off the ball movement

I like Gray. Always plays pretty smart, and solid team defender, and on top of that, you can't teach someone to be a giant. HE's perfect as a matchup big, and a good enough reserve that he can move up a peg in the rotation. I mean, he's basically a 4th or 5th big who's been doing great as a starter just by not trying to do things he can't.

Like what Derozan is doing missed a couple midrange shots early so decided to attack the basket and get to the line.

MMMm...rainbow fadeaway...if that ever goes down consistently for Demar, I'll be very happy

True enough

our guards are the least athletic in that lineup. Loving the energy from Amir, Gay and Derozan

I can't find those stats (scoring by quarter) anywhere on the net, but I think going to Bosh early happens a lot.

Yeah, he was pissed I think that Wade was doing well on him. You can see he got a slight edge after one of those Wade And1's

Ok, was just not sure if it was a thing they were specifically trying to exploit tonight against a relatively solid starting defensive duo of Gray and Amir

Screw Derozan's higher assist numbers, Amir Johnson is passing so well today.

Who do we have here? Amir Johnson or Gasol? 4 assists already

Gay is balling right now

Rudy Can't Fail.

At first, I thought that was Amir with the left hand down low....he and Gay are like exactly the same size

This is crazy

Rudy is the real deal

It's so nice to see a Gay as a Raptor. We got swagger now. He has scored all 10 of the Raps points this quarter. Wow.
