5/21, Game 3 @Miami

[BigSoxFan]

Think this will be the end of the Marcus era. He’ll be the one to go.

Good. Sick of his shit and this is exactly why I never warmed up to him.

 

[lars10]

Bam moves on every single screen

 

[scottyno]

Smart will not get the benefit of the doubt

Kyle Lowry does, which kind of kills any argument that Marcus shouldn't.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

COUNTRY ASS-WHUPPING

 

[lars10]

All of these calls are a fucking joke.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

YOu just know this HEat shooting will pumpkin after a week+ off in the Finals. (And I won't mind it)

 

[lars10]

Two more moving screens before the pick and roll.

 

[benhogan]

mismatch

Celtics weren't particularly good against the Sixers or Hawks

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

How is this the same team that started the season with all the thinkpieces about our soccer movement style offense.

 

[Caspir]

Brown and a pick for Lillard and Simons?

I don’t know if it’s the players, the coach, or both, but changes are needed to get over the hump.

 

[Section15Box113]

Heat are shooting 52% from 3.
Celtics are shooting 40% from the floor.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

The way the Heat are shooting is just bonkers.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

It's the refs, obviously

 

[Van Everyman]

The officiating tonight has been atrocious. But the heat are playing great and they are great at pushing the line on that. Celtics simply have to be mentally tougher about the game and not the officiating. That’s the layers and the coach failing.

It reminds me a little bit of game two in the finals last year when they lost their composure with Draymond. It’s not that there aren’t things conspiring against them, but they haven’t handled it well.

 

[bosockboy]

The Denver Nuggets are going to win the NBA FINALS. Crazy

 

[Obscure Name]

All those posts about how Miami can't keep shooting like they did in game 1 sure look silly now.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Can we go zone? Try something different. Watching the same shit get toasted over and over again is depressing.

 

[soxin6]

Kyle Lowry does, which kind of kills any argument that Marcus shouldn't.

I didn’t say he shouldn’t, I said he won’t.

 

[lars10]

Another moving screen

 

[8slim]

The first 5 minutes of this quarter felt like 105.

 

[soxin6]

That would require a coach with a clue

 

[Curt S Loew]

At least the Sox are competitive through the All Star break. Fuck this.

So were the Celtics. And I agree.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

I understand that Celts D leaves a lot to be desired, and Miami D is good. But miami hits 'everythin'g that's open, the celts 'nothing'.
The difference in D isn't that much.

Miami is playing elite three pt. defense. Every time a player gets the ball in an open spot behind the arc there's a Miami player flying at them. It's pretty much the difference in the whole series.

 

[ifmanis5]

Pull all the starters.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Five Heat in double figures. Bench with 27.

 

[gammoseditor]

Has a team ever been swept being favored in every game?

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

They aren't even getting shots off.

 

[Jinhocho]

I hope they lose by 50

 

[bosockboy]

They quit.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

I think Joe is making his point here.

 

[Van Everyman]

Wow

 

[ifmanis5]

They quit. This team has quit.

 

[kazuneko]

Will this at least get Mazzulla fired? Looking for a silver lining..

 

[8slim]

All those posts about how Miami can't keep shooting like they did in game 1 sure look silly now.

They were silly then. All that dumb make or miss nonsense. Defense is half the game and we don’t play any. This isn’t a mystery of magical shooting.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

LOFL time now.

 

[JakeRae]

They have given up. It is way too early to give up.

 

[teddykgb]

Has a team ever been swept being favored in every game?

There’s no way we are favored in GM 4 and there isn’t going to be a game 5

 

[Just a bit outside]

Empty the bench. This is gross. Tell the ducking starters they don’t deserve to play.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

I hate Strus

 

[Auger34]

The Jays, including the vaunted Tatum, are 11-29 with 6 turnovers and 3 assists

 

[Jinhocho]

I think Joe is making his point here.

What point?

 

[Senator Donut]

The Denver Nuggets are going to win the NBA FINALS. Crazy

Are we really going to keep doing this until Miami lifts the trophy?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

C’s may lose by 40. It ain’t the refs.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Another moving screen

Yup. That's the problem

 

[kfoss99]

Everything is so bad, Tatum's been dribbling like Brown this series. Everything's Broken.

 

[Coachster]

Pull the starters. What difference does it make?

 

[bosockboy]

Remember when they were positive at halftime?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Brogdon on that break... leaves his man for no reason, then doesn't rotate, then tries to closeout from 20 feet away... just garbage.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Heat are literally on a shooting heater. Its kind of insane.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Denver Nuggets are going to win the NBA FINALS. Crazy

God I hope so.

 

[soxin6]

Will this at least get Mazzulla fired? Looking for a silver lining..

If it doesn’t then there is no point watching this team next year. He is not ready for prime time.

 

[radsoxfan]

Has a team ever been swept being favored in every game?

I texted my friend that the fitting way for this season to end is exactly like that.

As a 5 point road favorite down 0-3 in game 4.

The perfect end to a very bizarre year.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Caleb Martin is +30 in this game. lol.
