I agree, Ronnie needs to step up but his thumb is just not right. We all know he's never been a great shooter but there was a point where he was starting to nail his mid-range jumpers with somewhat consistency. But that thumb is going to be affecting his game whether hes shooting, playing the baseline or playing d. Look at Jo, seems like he bangs up his thumb once or twice every game.
I do think Brewer has brought some good defense in his limited role and hes knocked down critical FTs in the end but we still need more.
I saw a tweet posted by i think one of the Heats nut huggers on ESPN, showing teams plus/minus the last 5 minutes of games. Guess who is #1 and by a wide margin? The Chicago Bulls. Despite our horrid play for basically 3.5 quarters every game this series, we still finish really well in the 4th.
I know Thibs loves Bogans D and he has played IMO exceptionally well on that end but outside of his 3-3 shooting from 3 in game 3, we need more offense from that position. Why not play Kyle at the 2? It works in crunch time, why not during the early stages of the game? WHY!?!? Look when the double Rose, someones open, right? Lets get a shooter out there that needs to be guarded. Give more opportunities to Deng and Snoozer. Noahs doing what he can with his limited offense.
