Could More Detailed Direction Be The Key For Miami Heat?
With Bam Adebayo, it’s fairly simple. Tell him, as his coach and as the guy that’s been there with him since the beginning, “hey, need 12 attempts nightly, at least seven in the paint and five jumpers”.
That should be the expectation, flat out. If he never takes the shots, he can’t make the shots, nor even get used to taking them.
For the last example and in Goran’s case, it’s simple as well. The Miami Heat could take advantage of early rim runs, post looks, and dives, if they actually looked.
Goran Dragic and a lot of the other ball handlers for the Miami Heat, to be fair, are scorers more than playmakers. That means that instead of looking to the paint for an easy basket first, they look to the rim for their own shot and do other things off of that.
If Coach Spoelstra literally told Goran to look more, then maybe he would. It doesn’t have to be every time, but sometimes and especially more than he has.
They are pros and this stuff seems simple, however, they aren’t doing it. Perhaps it’s as simple as needing to be told, because if it can be seen on the television then surely Coach Spo can see these things from the sideline.
They would all go a long way towards helping the Heat solve their offensive droughts at times.
