No answer for Point Olynyk. He just stood at the top of the key and picked us apart at times...especially in the early 4th. Nine assists in under 19 minutes.
That team can really clamp down when they want. Dragic and Herro are probably their only truly bad defenders, but they can platoon them largely and mix in some combo of Bam, Butler, Crowder, Jones and Iggy and be pretty good. That zone they ran in the fourth was frightening.
Dragic and Crowder played starter minutes. In fact, had Herro cut into some of Robinson's minutes, they would have had more minutes than anyone other than Butler. Without Leonard, Miami platooned Bam and Olynyk and surrounded their single big with wings. Derrick Jones Jr. and Crowder are considered their PF's. At the most they are Power Wings, but probably more wing than power. Both, along with Dragic and Leonard are free this summer.
