We need to run Pack and Wong off the 3 point line and the game will be ours.  Whatever challenged 2's they and Miller make will not be enough.  They will scrap with quickness on the boards and loose balls, but they should be 1 and done a bunch.  A concerted effort into Sanogo and Clingan can very likely foul out their 6'7 center and then they have real troubles.  If 6'7 Omier has to sit with 2 fouls for 7-8 minutes of the first half, or, plays and picks up a 3rd...  We should be able to get at least 10 minutes in this game where Miami has no real center.  Their only strategy is denying entry passes.  We just need Jackson and Sanogo to stay out of foul trouble themselves, and not get sloppy with live ball turnovers into the post.  The more pressure we put on them in the post, the greater liklihood that we will have open 3's on kick outs.  Pack is 6' closer to 5'10, so Diarra can play a role sticking to him like glue and Hawkins has the size advantage to stop spot up 3's.  Newton/Alleyne is a size match for Wong.  Jackson could make life tough on Miller.  Avoid our own foul trouble and we're good.  All of our shooters have been hitting and the mojo gods will consent to at least 30% from 3 for us, on decent number of attempts.  Don't worry.  Be Happy.
