Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
The one thing Miami can’t do in this one is fall into the trap of playing the Warriors game
You can’t beat them like that
The offense needs some added layers instead of constant PnR, kick-out, repeat – 10:21 PM
Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Warriors obviously think Lowry on Wiggins is a mismatch, and so far they’ve been right. – 10:20 PM

If the Nets, Bucks, Bulls and Heat end up being the East’s final four, who would you like to face who in the second round?
I think I want Bucks-Heat and Nets-Bulls. Really build up that Bucks-Heat rivalry, and DeMar/LaVine trying to match buckets with the Nets would be awesome. – 8:48 PM

Alykhan Bijani @Rockets_Insider
Sometimes not possible, but wonder if Theis can use the defense playing off of him to the #Rockets advantage by catching, then dribbling into a dribble hand-off with a ball-handler when the Big is camped in the paint and willing to give up the open 3. Similar to Draymond + Steph. – 8:09 PM
Noah Levick @NoahLevick
Transition defense a big first-half problem for the Sixers — 16 fast-break points already for the Rockets.
Tobias Harris and Seth Curry have combined to shoot 3 for 16 from the floor. – 8:08 PM

James Wiseman has cleared health and safety protocols and is out on the court getting shots up ahead of Warriros v. Heat. He is still inactive as he recovers from a right meniscus tear, but this is a good step forward for him pic.twitter.com/1tB6HZLXcZ – 7:50 PM
