I'm sure Reggie's daughter is enjoying her birthday, specifically because Reggie isn't there. Miller would singlehandedly make Disneyland no longer the happiest place on Earth.
Reggie’s not there?
“Think about that.”

(That’s Reggie’s clever contribution anytime another announcer makes a comment)

Take away RW (dunks and layups) and bench was 2-12 tonight

have to be better in game 6
For better or worse we may just be back to the Finals rotation.

I remain Hauser-curious, though. I want to see if he can goad their shooters into ill-advised drives like he did all season.

They played us straight up for 3 quarters without Vincent. The W is all that counts but they need the game of their careers Saturday.
The Celtics blew the Heat out in the first quarter.
The Celtics won the second quarter by two.
The Celtics won the third quarter by three.
The Celtics were up by 19 points late in the third when everyone basically pulled their starters. From there the Heat outscored them by six, making it look closer than it was. Before that point, the Celtics had even won the fourth quarter by one point.

This game was never, ever close.

That said, yes they need to play great on Saturday. Miami will have max effort. Whether shots fall or not is unknown, but they'll bring their best effort.

Celtics went up 15-5, the game was never closer than 10 again, in fact it only was AT 10 for a possession in extended garbage time. This game was between 15 and 20 for the bulk of the game, by NBA standards that's an asskicking.

I think there was probably a bit of playing to the score. When they won the 1st by 15 I’d have put a hefty sum on them losing one of the next two quarters and they didn’t.

Also worth noting they were one dumb Tatum pass from going up 26 and probably winning by 30.

A Lost Time
In the past couple of days, Miami has dropped back down to earth.

The thing is we won a couple of mini blowouts and we need to win a nailbiter. Saturday is the mother of all battles.

I agree with this. Saturday isn’t going to be a Celtics blowout. Going to have to win one close and late.
