April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

[benhogan]

Its time for Tillman to show half the Heat what a real screen is

 

[SteveF]

What Mazzulla should be telling them, because you know Spoelstra told his guys this, is that game 2 starts in this 4th quarter.

 

[JakeRae]

he usually enters in the middle of Q1 & Q3.

Up 30, nothing to see there, but thought his 3s provided some nice early separation

Yeah, but the rotation is going to tighten for the playoffs. If this game were close Tatum would be playing 41 minutes. That eats into Hauser’s minutes.

 

[Average Game James]

Miami down my 30 with 8 minutes left, and Doris feels compelled to sneak in one last paean to Heat Culture. They will still play defense! They will not give up!

If not for the culture, they’d be down at least 35…

 

[jmcc5400]

Someone like Jrue should steamroll into a moving Bam screen

That's what Tillman is for.

 

[Scriblerus]

Doris and JJ had a moment of silence after Bam levels White. You could feel the wheels turning as to how to justify it. Then they moved on.

 

[OnWisc]

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

 

[Ale Xander]

Tatum still in? Wtf

 

[JakeRae]

Tatum still in? Wtf

He will come out around 4 minutes. It’s the playoffs.

 

[Eric Fernsten's Disco Mustache]

Tatum one assist from the triple double

 

[OnWisc]

Feels like there are people on the floor that shouldn’t really be on the floor right now.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Doris and JJ had a moment of silence after Bam levels White. You could feel the wheels turning as to how to justify it. Then they moved on.

It was a hard screen. Maybe I am dirty but I want the C's setting those screens too. That's how playoff basketball is played when I watch.

Doris and JJ had a moment of silence after Bam levels White. You could feel the wheels turning as to how to justify it. Then they moved on.

Yeah, that was awkward.

 

[128]

Stop dicking around.

 

[teddykgb]

Tatum really struggling with the double team this quarter for some reason

 

[Ed Hillel]

no clear path?

 

[lars10]

Tatum needs to wake up on these passes.

 

[radsoxfan]

This is about where the Celtics start to look like the Wizards randomly in just about every blowout.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Tatum still in? Wtf

One assist from a triple double.

 

[McBride11]

You have got to be fucking kidding. Bam took a step and leaned into the screen and fucking plowed DW in the chest.. there was no acting at all there.

Step, eh. Leaned into, ya. But on Bam BS screen level, that level happens for many players

 

[Ale Xander]

All too 6 guys in and they’re giving up uncontested bunnies

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He will come out around 4 minutes. It’s the playoffs.

And he's well rested. And next game is Wednesday. Players play.

 

[Spelunker]

Al looked pissed at KP

 

[The Social Chair]

Not pulling the starters until they got it below 20 was madness. Now starters are getting tight + extra minutes on their bodies.

 

[Ale Xander]

One assist from a triple double.

Who cares about personal statistics

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

What’s with the lack of defense?

 

[Ale Xander]

Um

 

[JakeRae]

He will come out around 4 minutes. It’s the playoffs.

More like 2-3 with the Heat closing the gap a bit.

 

[128]

Fourth-quarter Celtics. JFC.

 

[Ale Xander]

Stop fucking sucking

 

[The Mort Report]

Al really annoyed with the defensive effort

 

[lars10]

It was a hard screen. Maybe I am dirty but I want the C's setting those screens too. That's how playoff basketball is played when I watch.

It wasn't a legal screen though. He moved his foot and shoulder into it. He wasn't straight up.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Horford looked very pissed when Jaylen blew back to back possessions on D

 

[Ale Xander]

Time out please

 

[Ale Xander]

Soft

 

[radsoxfan]

Joe, feel free to call timeout and yell at them

 

[SteveF]

He was late with that TO.

 

[bankshot1]

48 minutes fellas.

 

[lars10]

another moving screen

 

[Manzivino]

What’s with the lack of defense?

They went up 31 and started coasting

 

[TomRicardo]

They have played like dog shit this quarter.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Neat

 

[128]

Has Delon Wright ever shot this well in an NBA game?

 

[bosockboy]

This is real.

 

[lars10]

Wright is something like 6-6 on threes?

 

[osori]

Is Tatum drunk.

 

[jmcc5400]

For fuck's sake.

 

[radsoxfan]

That was one of the most insane 3 minute stretches in NBA history. Hopefully it will not be remembered

 

[Ale Xander]

48 minutes fellas.

Even if they played 32 minutes hard this would be 30 point difference

 

[The Social Chair]

Absolutely shitty garbage time strategy this quarter.
