Miami had a pretty good offense in the regular season and vs. Charlotte, but their ball movement has really, really been disrupted vs. the Raptors. Toronto didn't have this kind of effect vs. Indy - have they stepped it up that much or gotten lucky (Miami floundering)?
Miami:
AST AST% AST/TO
Regular Season 20.8 54% 1.48
vs. Charlotte 19.1 50.6% 1.58
vs. Toronto 12.8 35% 0.82
Their scoring has fallen off just a bit, but they're being forced into playing like the Raptors - more creating off ISO and leaning on Wade rather than moving the ball and spacing the floor. They're playing Toronto's style of basketball right now, it's ugly, but the Raps are up 3-2.
(Knock on wood a whole bunch of times) If the Raps can win another one, what are the chances they can bring a similar impact to round three, disrupt the Cavs new free-flowing offense, and drag Cleveland into the same kind of back alley street fight that they've managed to drag both the Pacers and the Heat into?
