Everyone has been great except Jaylen, which is so weird, he was so much better all year, playoff game 1 he forgets what to do on offense

Congrats to the Heat on overcoming the early 14 point deficit and cutting it to 15 at the half. That is some heart / Heat Culture.

Don't know that Tatum should have played 21 minutes int he half but that's a relatively minor concern.

Was thinking about this yesterday.... is Perk the worst former player analyst ESPN has ever had in any sport?

Steven A, Perk and Wilson. Wooooph, pass. I like Malika but not enough to listen to those 3.

Pretty good first half. Too much isoball from Brown and soft D at the end are areas for improvement though.

One nice thing....
Yes you would expect the Heat to shoot better at some point (though low volume from 3 too is an issue).......
But also for all that it felt like an avalanche of 3s..... Celtics basically shot their season average from 3, they will have better shooting nights, some worse too, but this is not one of the shooting outlier games for the series so far.

it really feels like he’s come in thinking “I’m going to prove everyone wrong!” and in the process he proves everyone right. He wants to play 1 on 5 instead of finding his teammates. It’s noticeably different than the approach the rest of the team is taking.
