Wednesday's game was a harsh reminder that Jimmy Butler - who will miss the entire series against the Celtics - was not the primary reason the Celtics lost the Eastern Conference finals last year... the Heat made an outlier number of 3-pointers, shot mostly by role players, and because Erik Spoelstra really is an excellent basketball coach.
I just thought they made a lot of shots that we normally feel comfortable with... But it's the playoffs. It is what it is. We've got to adjust and we've got to play ball, so you've got to respond.
The guys that we wanted to shoot, not that we let them, but it wasn't like a get out to them and put it on the ground... But they started knocking them in. We know Martin can shoot, but they had guys out there that were knocking in everything, even Jaime Jaquez just knocking it in. So they're shooting them confidently and they're taking them, and they made them tonight.
