Spoelstra discovered a lineup last game that he's going to use to win tonight

Question

Dragic,Goran - Johnson,Joe - Johnson,Tyler - Richardson,Josh - Winslow,Justise

Used this extra small lineup for 6 minutes in the 2nd half of last game. Had a 153.7 OFFRTG and 72.3 DEFRTG. This lineup gives them their best offense. They hit 5 threes all game and hit 3 of them with this lineup. Amare, Haslem, and McRoberts are all waste of space anyways. Spo will go extra small a lot more this game. Dwayne Casey will not make any adjustments.

Take Miami -4

if you are aware of what the coach is planning to do, then why wouldn&#x27;t toronto&#x27;s coach also be aware and make some adjustments to counter it?

If that&#x27;s the case...I&#x27;m slamming the over.

Some coaches are stubborn, some are not very good.

Joe Johnson (and Luol Deng) looks finished to me....he can't finish and he can't hit threes. Winslow is a good defender, who is very limited offensively. There is a reason that Toronto's stars have been terrible, yet they are still up 3-2 in the series. Miami's veterans haven't done their share, except for the incomparable Wade. Losing Miami's big man is a huge loss....Wade is gonna have to score 35/game tonight and going forward for Miami to stay alive.

I'd play Richardson ahead of Joe Johnson and give Tyler Johnson minutes and tell Dragic to take the ball at the basket a minimum of 20 times. When Dragic sits out on the perimeter he is not nearly as effective as he is when going to the hole.

On the other hand Corey Joseph has been probably the Raptors best, most consistent players...until last game I couldn't figure out why he was getting limited minutes and DeRozan was bricking everything in sight.

Coaches tend to stay loyal to the players that did well in the regular season and they'll sink or swim with those players. It worked for Casey last game with Lowry and DeRozan....I wouldn't have stayed that loyal...maybe that's why Casey is getting the big bucks and I am watching the game from my couch.
