Steve Kerr has been harping on this, and he’s right: the Miami Heat aren’t really running any plays right now. The guards are dribbling aimlessly, and nobody is cutting.
Miami Isn’t Running Lots Of Offense Right Now
Here, again, is where the absence of Chris Bosh is felt a lot. With Bosh in the lineup, the Heat can run a horns set, where two big men stand at the elbows and either LeBron James or Dwyane Wade cuts in from the baseline to take a dribble-handoff. Bosh is excellent at this because he has the ball skills to execute the hand-off and is enough of a threat to require attention after setting the screen. Nobody else on the Heat has a chance to execute this play.
This is why we were saying that losing Bosh is a big deal.
