The goal in basketball is to put the ball in the circle to score points and win the game. Why do we start to say such a sentence? Simply because it seems that Kyle Lowry and Max Strus have forgotten. With a sadly historic 0/15 shooting last night, it was impossible for the Heat to avoid defeat against Boston. It even seems that there is a board and some parquet to be repaired.
“And it goes bim bam boom splash ». Here is the remix with Miami backcourt sauce, of this magnificent song which will now camp in your head for the entire morning. Last night, it rained hailstones on the South Florida city. Notice of upcoming natural disaster? Given the extent of the damage to the FTX Arena, we are on the plausible. It’s time to send a stone into the pond: 0/15 shooting for Kyle Lowry and Max Strus, what kind of choke is that? Well the guy never seen before in the history of the Playoffs, since 1971, when the NBA started counting the stats. It’s not complicated, eh, Pat Riley was already talking about charging them for the cracks in the plexiglass and the blades coming off the floor. We’re joking, but it’s not impossible that Boston will also send them an expense report after the no less frightening 1/13 combined by the two outsiders in Game 4. During a very poor collective performance, it is possible to leave a match of side in terms of success, although lines like that are quite rare for this type of player. But then, doing that twice in a row, no. There is really a problem with the address of these guys huh, go to the optician as soon as possible for everyone’s safety.
Kyle Lowry and Max Strus went a combined 0-15 in Game 5.
According to @EliasSportsthat’s the worst 0-fer for a starting backcourt in playoff game since starters were officially tracked in 1970-71. pic.twitter.com/PiGKhQQAA3

The advantage you will tell us is that after seeing this terrible spectacle, we know that there is a big problem with these two players. And if we know it, that also means that we can try to explain it. Already, the absence of Tyler Herro for two games logically pushes the two happy people Max and Kyle to take a small wheelbarrow of extra shots. Even if the Tyler Playoffs are really not folichons, the fact remains that the latter is an essential cog in the offensive success of the Heat. Please note, there is no question of not mentioning the Celtics’ defense, which also performs a tour de force by locking the Miami armada rather very correctly. Grant Williams, Jayson Tatum or Derrick White: all do not count the efforts and burn their thighs to prevent South Beach from putting their paw on the rhythm of the game, and being content to be led on the scoreboard. We have already mentioned the Lowry case a little bit, explaining that he had undoubtedly returned to the game with a form of lightness, or precisely the opposite, namely a few extra pounds. Negligence, Playoffs: two words that do not mix, classic in the NBA. For Strus, on the other hand, be careful that the boy did not show us signs of limits in terms of offensive contribution. If a well-organized defense has so little difficulty in unscrewing it in terms of precision, it will not be easy for the boy’s career ambitions.
The Heat starting backcourt has made one field goal combined in the past two games.

Splash splash splash! It sends bricks in all directions in South Beach, be careful not to hurt the public anyway. We target Lowry and Strus for their shameful address, but it’s the whole Heat that has to get involved, because it’s starting to smell like the holidays this story.
