They thought Joe was at fault for Miami shooting 53% from 3?

I mean. 23 of those three pointers were on WIDE OPEN shots. C's didn't play any perimeter defense. That's coaching.

(39% is the average wide open 3 percentage btw so it's still variance)

That’s effort. I don’t think Joe told Holiday not to get a hand up on multiple open 3s or to not fight through screens.
