With the series tied 2-2 and coming back to Miami for Game 5, the Heat failed to capitalize on home court dropping into a 2-3 hole.

No where worse was this seen than in the 3p shooting, with Miami going 7/45 from 3 with Boston daring them to take more. We also go over some quick observations and look ahead to what the Heat need to do in order to win Game 6 and force Game 7.

After splitting the first two in Miami, the series traveled to Boston where the Heat would need to at least split the next two.

After a blowout Game 5 win, the Heat continued to ramp up the defensive pressure to close out the Sixers in Game 6. Embiid looked gassed and Harden was elimination game Harden, which is to say not good, while the Heat rode the contributions of Butler and Strus to a 99-90 win. We also go over all the tiny battles Miami won and how they finally stacked up to outweigh bad 3-point shooting, and then look ahead to wait for our Eastern Conference Finals opponent.

With the series tied at 2-2 coming back to Miami, the Heat blew the brakes off the Sixers to take a 3-2 lead. The Heat's depth shone with 7 players in double digit points, the Sixers wilted as Embiid and Harden got the clamps put on, and the 3-point shooting disparity swung to Miami finally. After the major takeaways, we go over some closing observations and look ahead to a closeout Game 6 Thursday.

While Game 1 and 2 followed a similar script, Game 3 and 4 followed their own. Miami continued to be ice cold from 3 while Philly were absurdly hot, making the difference in a game the Heat only lost by 8. We go over great performances by Jimmy and Bam, the struggles of the supporting cast, and what Philly did to close this game out. Then we look ahead to what's hopefully a bounceback Game 5. The 3-point shooting disparity can't go on for a third game right? Right?
