April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Spo is the best coach in the NBA at present. He gets the max out of whatever talent he is given. Its pretty remarkable.

 

[Manzivino]

Little bit in love with the deep ball the last 4 minutes. Missing good looks but still.

 

[mikeot]

Heat seem confident they get friendly whistles (or lack thereof).

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Even down 5, Miami has to like how that quarter went. After a quick start, Celtics played right into their hand…

The Celtics missed a billion open shots, of course

 

[jablo1312]

If Love is going to play the 5 they could try to put him in the basket a bit more. Still, they got a ton of good looks, just missed them all. Wide open Hauser corner 3 is about as good as you can hope for. Could use Al making a shot.

 

[Jake Peavy's Demons]

'Whistled for a foul'. I'm so tired of Mike Breen & Doris Burke.

 

[bankshot1]

Als front rimming. Doesn't have his legs yet.

 

[SteveF]

They missed a lot of good looks. Celtics were +7 on true shot attempts. I'm not that worried... yet.

 

[Caspir]

Getting wide open looks?

They are. I guess I should be more specific and mention that they are also repeatedly missing them. Feel better?

 

[bigq]

I’m okay if the Celtics win every quarter by 5.

 

[tims4wins]

Took 18 3s. That’s a lot.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Even down 5, Miami has to like how that quarter went. After a quick start, Celtics played right into their hand…

Yeah. C’s were way too loose at the end of the quarter. Seems fixable, but not great.

 

[Ale Xander]

Horford and Hauser building a house together.

And the builders won’t hire Holiday
Can’t make a house with air

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

They got wide open shot after wide open shot. Miami is clogging the lane and giving them threes. They should keep taking them.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job Samuel

 

[Red Right Arm]

If Love is going to play the 5 they could try to put him in the basket a bit more. Still, they got a ton of good looks, just missed them all. Wide open Hauser corner 3 is about as good as you can hope for. Could use Al making a shot.

The open looks are going to be converted eventually. The only thing that really bugs me is all those offensive rebounds getting wasted so that the next guy in line can chuck it up and clang one. Need those second chances to mean something.

 

[bigq]

More ball movement like that.

 

[McBride11]

The BB of the NBA!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Making Jaquez look like Pete Maravich

 

[Spelunker]

Sammy

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Hauser needs to hit those wide open corner 3's.

Shooting his way through it!

 

[bigq]

Sam is the man

 

[mikeot]

Sam now I am again!

 

[Red Right Arm]

Hooray for regression!

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Nice D

 

[dhellers]

I am so happy that the hauser hunt has backfired!

 

[Caspir]

Much better.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Heat gonna need to switch up that D now.

 

[bigq]

So many open looks for Hauser

 

[benhogan]

Doris "if there is a weakness with these Celtics it's the bench"

who had that on their Dumb Doris bingo card?

 

[timelysarcasm]

Much better! Time out, motherfuckers.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Keep leaving Hauser open. Seems to be working.

 

[osori]

Heat gonna need to switch up that D now.

Yup. Good gamble by Spo, but Hauser!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Bring help to Tatum there seems like a gift

 

[Imbricus]

Ha, ha. No answer for that.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Give me wide open Hauser threes all playoffs long.

 

[TrapperAB]

Live by it, die by it, kill with it

 

[tims4wins]

9-21 winning formula

 

[SteveF]

86 pace to this game. Glacial.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They are collapsing on Tatum like every possession is an end of quarter iso. Tatum doing a good job recognizing and moving, whereas Jaylen was forcing it early.

 

[bigq]

Doris "if there is a weakness with these Celtics it's the bench"

who had that on their Dumb Doris bingo card?

Did she really say that? I am watching with volume muted.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Goaltend?

 

[The Mort Report]

PP!!!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

PP has fucking hacked come on

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That's a big play by Pritch.

 

[Spelunker]

Pritch is a real one

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

More Hauser!

 

[JakeRae]

Spo may want to rethink not guarding Hauser.

 

[Cellar-Door]

MIA needs an adjustment, you can't let Hauser take all open 3s

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Pritchard is a hero.
