You know what, let's watch some Heat/Grizzlies

I am prepared for a complete adventure in the 4th quarter.

For all the nitpicks I have of Ja Morant he *creates* so many plays out of nothing. Heat switch this double drag, Morant has Robinson and somehow gets this pass off.

Heat staying aggressive defensively against Memphis. Good possession here. Hoping for activity, trying to force Memphis into different type of plays, protect the paint and recover. Look at the help. Rotation on the pop, rotation on the skip, help on the drive.

Issue with playing aggressive for Miami is you're taking plays away but you're opening plays up. Great play from Xavier Tillman. Bjelica is setting up to get to level. Tillman starts/stops, sees Bjelica in front and screens *him*. Brooks turns corner, help comes, open 3.

It's a balancing act. Because ultimately Miami just wantws to make Memphis do something they don't want to do. Bam traps hard, weakside is in and recovers. Good job by Iguodala of fronting but also spinning to get the steal over the top.

5 points in a row for Desmond Mane.

Fun possession here. Grizz trying to put Duncan Robinson. JV runs up and then runs back, Heat switch Iguodala on to Allen. He goes back, tries to run up again and Butler switches on to him. Ja Morant did not care a single bit said bleep it and drove left.

The switchability of Butler/Ariza/Oladipo/Iguodala is fun. Duncan Robinson just can't get beat by Grayson Allen middle. Also no way he meant to pass this.
