Losing home court to an 8 seed missing their best player. Disappointing, but unsurprising.

Those last two 3s were barely contested.

C’s have made some of their bad luck tonight.

Heat just seem like a bad matchup for the C’s. They aren’t afraid of the C’s, and the C’s seemed spooked by them. Spoelstra expects to win this series, and he might.

if the other team shoots threes like this margin for error is very small. That’s just the math.

need to be efficient on offense and tighten the d

I might just not watch the rest of this 1st round.

It's so infuriating. 22/40 on 3s. Again this nonsense.

Just wake me up whens it's over and let me know what happened.

You can chalk it up to shooting variance, whatever. What time really is is the continuation of totally awful basketball from the fourth quarter of game one. There was always going to be a carry over for letting a team feel good and see shots go in. This group really reaps what the sow.

It's not just variance. They're shooting threes like that because we're leaving them entirely open.

It's not like the Heat are getting dunks and layups. They are just shooting the hell out of the ball, and most of it is jumpers.

Can’t imagine the heat can shoot this well consistently in the series. This just may be one of those games where a team just gets too hot.

Though I recall thinking that last year too.

Damn.

On the one hand the Celtics are not playing great...on the other being -33 on 3pt differential is just absurd bad luck even if you aren't defending that well.
