A: Based on the postgame rhetoric from both Erik Spoelstra and Dwyane Wade, it sure sounded like it. And based on Luol Deng's singular focus as the inbound passer, it sure seemed like it. And based on just about every action from just about every player when you slow down the video, it sure looked like it. And Wade did get about as good a look as you could expect in that situation. But . . . and there is a HUGE but when it comes to that final play Thursday against the Hornets: How do you run one of your primary options on such an action to a player . . . who has not converted a 3-pointer since Dec. 16. Yes, Dec. 16 against the Nets was the last Wade has made a 3-pointer. Set him at the end of a two-point game? No issue, no matter what type of night he is having. Set him up to get to the foul line? No issue there. And while it would be the preference to have everyone live in that situation, I could appreciate the desire of having Whiteside on the court to set a screen (although hasn't one of the ongoing questions been Whiteside's screen setting?). But Wade on the court over Josh Richardson, in that game, in that moment. What is overlooked in Saturday's victory in Toronto was Luol Deng's tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation came off a busted screen. It's not as if that play worked as designed. There has to be better design. Has to be. That's what the playoffs are about. Off a timeout, busting a bad, a career-bad, 3-point shooter for a tying attempt does not seem like the most advisable action. This time, the play ended a game. In the playoffs, it could end a season.
