	<description><![CDATA[Last year was for storylines. This year, the Boston-Miami matchup is just about the basketball, and with two of the league's best defenses taking the floor, the pertinent question to ask is how each team is going to score. For Boston, the answer comes in the mid-range. For Miami, wherever Kevin Garnett isn't.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The one constant for the Miami HEAT in their series against the Indiana Pacers was the pick-and-roll and the space it afforded Dwyane Wade and LeBron James when attacking Roy Hibbert. In the clinching Game 6, that pair scored more than 20 points off screens until Indiana was forced to change in the fourth quarter. Then, Wade and James finished things off.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The Miami HEAT took Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers on the strength of run outs, earning 22 fast-break points. That doesn't mean the team was trying to run more in that game than any other, though. In order to play fast, they need stops and rebounds, and they need the right sort of stops and rebounds. We look at the defense that became the spectacular offense.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 43 of Miami's 55 second-half points against the Indiana Pacers in Game 4, playing one of the most beautiful stretches of basketball we've seen all year. And it might have all started with one simple play in the second quarter, plus a ton of work without the ball.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The Miami HEAT need Dwyane Wade to play better than he did when shooting 2-of-13 in Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers, but it's not all on him. The team can help Wade by affording him more space to operate in, among other adjustments. Because the HEAT don't just need Wade to score, they need him to be efficient.]]></description>

	<link>http://www.nba.com/heat/news/how_indiana_is_limiting_miami_120516.html?rss=true</link>
	<description><![CDATA[The Miami HEAT's offense runs like a well-oiled machine when it is generating three-pointers, but not just any threes. It needs to create open, efficient, assisted threes, and knowing this, the Indiana Pacers have schemed to take those away, a scheme that starts with how they defend LeBron James and Dwyane Wade's pick-and-rolls.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The Miami HEAT outscored the Indiana Pacers by 15 points with LeBron James playing power forward in Game 1, but the decision as to whether or not to start him at that position in the absence of Chris Bosh is hardly as simple as going by the numbers. We ask the why, and why not, of the potential move.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers, the man who can play any position in the game played almost half his minutes at power forward, and Miami's lineups featuring LeBron James at the four were easily the HEAT's most efficient. With help from Ronny Turiaf and Joel Anthony filling in for Chris Bosh, here's how it worked.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[LeBron James is the 2011-12 NBA Most Valuable Player not just because he had the most statistically dominant season of any player in the league, but because it was impossible to watch him play and not think he is the best player, capable of doing the most thing, in the game. Sometimes, even that isn't enough, but the narrative was behind James, too.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The conservative approach is for the Miami HEAT to try to match the size of the Indiana Pacers, but with the creativity the team has shown all season, Miami can be the team that dictates matchups and rotations in this second-round series.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In the end, this series was decidedly simple. The New York Knicks may have suffered injury after injury, and the HEAT may have effectively tweaked both their pick-and-roll defense and perimeter coverage, but Miami’s fundamental advantage for five games was that they played a more sustainable brand of basketball.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Some may think the Miami HEAT don't run many sets late in games, but in the final 90 seconds of Game 4 against the New York Knicks, they ran one specific set twice for good looks. Then, on the final possession, Miami took advantage of New York's willingness to concede mismatches.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The Miami HEAT are severely limiting the effectiveness of one of New York's major weapons: the three-point shot. But it would be a wasted effort if that meant they gave up shots elsewhere as a result, so we look at film of how Miami is playing New York's deadly Tyson Chandler pick-and-roll with shooters in mind.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[New York made its adjustments and Carmelo Anthony is getting the ball on the wing, but the Miami HEAT aren't doubling him no matter who else is on the floor. That's because when Anthony is shooter from a certain range, as long as the shots are contested, the percentages are in favor of the defense.]]></description>

	<link>http://www.nba.com/heat/news/the_sacrifice_rebounding_120501.html?rss=true</link>
	<description><![CDATA[We often talk about, and easily accept, the concept of a player sacrificing offensive touches, shots and scoring for the betterment of his team. But other numers can be sacrificed as well, such as the rebounds Chris Bosh has given up due to the makeup of the lineups he plays in with the Miami HEAT.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After being denied for much of Game 1, Carmelo Anthony found the ball early and often in Game 2, scoring 21 points before halftime. But while the adjustment worked, the result was not sustainable offense, and New York's possessions stood in contrast to one of Miami's most efficient nights of the last two years.]]></description>
