I’m just not sure Al’s legs can handle it? His shot was dead in the ECF last year, from what I remember, because he had no legs left.

You are right but it just feels like the Heat already know the outcome of this one.
Miami breaking out the full-goon defense where they dare refs to call much of it.
A Riley classic back to his late-era Laker days

Heat use Thomas Bryant instead of Love to stay in man.
I guess he's better in man and switch than Love? But that's not saying much. Celtics should be able to abuse him defensively

I kind of wonder if they try Highsmith at center - sure, you risk getting beat inside but Bryant isn't helping a lot there and Highsmith is a good switch defender at least
And they are doing it really well and the Celtics are doing a great job of winning even when having to play out of their comfort zone.
I love how sports commentary takes a one game sample and asks whether or not player X has leveled up their game because of a great result. No, Tyler Herro did not level up his game after game 2.
Agreed, you have to play the game in front of you. That said, the replay of KP under the hoop getting shoved and grabbed by two heat players on the jump ball call was pretty egregious
Yup. Going to have to make shots because the refs are going allow the heat to get away with whatever
They would for the Celtics. I feel like the Heat are about to get the overcharged NFL Blitz style catchup treatment.
As you know the NBA has been letting them play the last two months.
Were I am member of the Cs staff, I would tell them that Miami should be expected to get really physical and the officials will likely let them get away with a lot. Play through it and don't let it take you out of the game. It looks like they all understand that already so its ok.
The Heat are manhandling them - and getting away with it. But scoreboard.
for sure, I'm 100% with you. that replay annoyed me as a fan, but the C's are handling it and that's what matters
Totally agree.
The calls tonight are bad because they are inconsistnet - but it's a certainty Miami will be pushing the limits of physicality each game this series and a bunch of it won't get called. Tatum and KP in particular need to realize that and stop gesticulating about it
