Robinson goes off for 27 points 8/9 three pointers
Poole goes off for 30 points last night and then Robinson goes off for 27 points today...
Beilein could sure identify and collect shooters
I just read Duncan set a franchise playoff record for the Heat with 8 3-pointers. Seems hard to believe with all the all-star players, including Lebron, playing with the Heat.
And in only 23 minutes!
It’s an impressive record, and Lebron is an all-timer, but it’s not surprising that *Lebron*, a 35% career 3 shooter who can score in many different ways and distribute to teammates, doesn’t hold the record. It’s more surprising that Ray Allen doesn’t hold it.
But it’s a new era. And Duncan is well-suited for the age. Still remarkable that he’s made it to this point.
There was a guy named Hardaway who could shoot a little bit, too.
And Glen Rice.
Rice came to my mind too, so I looked it up. He really didn't play that many playoff games for the Heat (8 total). His playoff game totals are tilted a good degree more towards his time with the Hornets and Lakers.
Plus, players didn’t shoot as many threes in general back then. Even really good shooters would take 50% or more of their shots inside the arc. Steph Curry really changed the game.
Rice's playoff best was making 5 out of 6 in the finals for LA against the Pacers.
Lebron rarely put up enough 3's to hit 8 in any one game.
So nice to see Robinson come out and absolutely vaporize the Hawks after losing his starting spot. Strus is a great shooter but Robinson has a couple years of playoff experience to fall back on in these big moments.
Where'd the other 3 points come from? Did he get fouled on a three?
He made a 4-pointer (3+1)
I saw at least one four point play by him today.
As stated above a 4 point play and a beautiful reverse layup on a cut. Moving without the ball is one his specialties. I actually heard on the Warriors call last night that Poole sought out Robinson on tips for moving without the ball. M hoopers going ham. No big deal.
Awesome intel! Might haunt him during Warrrios vs Heat NBA Finals ;)
How do we get Beilein back in the fold somehow? Assistant AD?
executive director of 3&D wings?
What good would he do there?
If you want him on the basketball staff, hire him for that.
I miss having shooters!
Lookin' gooooood. Go Blue!
D-Rob, u da man 🏀🏀🏀
A great game by Robinson and he did it about as efficiently as possible.
It's awesome to see Robinson and Poole go off in the NBA playoffs. It does make me a little sad that we didn't win a Natty with them though ..
Robinson went off for 0 points in the national title game. I'm not blaming him for the loss--just was disappointing. With the way Nova was shooting we needed SOMEONE to be on fire in that game and we got the exact opposite.
Robinson broke his own record (previously he was tied with 2 other Heat players with 7 made 3 pointers in a playoff game). 27 points on 10 shots. Poole had 30 points on 13 shots. Neither of those guys ever went off like that at Michigan, in my memory.
The 3 point shot has changed the game massively, in a good way in my opinion. Trae Young was amazing in the previous game but 0-7 from 3 today and 1-12 overall. With more variability, there's more unpredictability and a chance for the underdog to win. In the old days, the higher seed almost always won.

Poole shoots deeper than Curry and almost as deep as Caitlin Clark (Iowa women team) --
Here are some highlights!
Wolverines going crazy!!!
