April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

I'm pissed. The game sucked... but you have people in this thread thinking that tonight's game means this team is exactly the same as they always are or using it to draw whatever conclusions they want to about JT and JB or whatever re: the Celts. You don't hear from them at any other point in the year after the team wins.. just every single time they lose disappointingly it's an indictment of the coach, the players, the approach and blah.blah.blah. A lot of the take are in no way reasonable... we can agree the effort wasn't there, but then to say this team is what we thought they were and they'll never win and they'll never beat Denver or whatever the fuck...
This place sucks whenever the Celts struggle at all. Pitino was right about Boston's fans in that it's a morass of negativity.. even after decades of winning at their core they haven't changed.. they're only happy when they're absolutely miserable regardless of years of winning. Theres' a portion of Boston fans that are only happy when the Celts are losing so they can wallow in their misery.
edit: and at 50 i just can't let myself get as angry as I used to.. it's not healthy and it just makes me feel miserable. Game sucked tonight and I just had to walk away from the thread and take a shower and get rid of the game... because it did indeed suck.
edit2: we expect these 20 year olds to never fail or express emotion or etc... but the second there's any adversity this place immediately falls apart.. and I presume most of us are older to much older than the players we criticize about not being able to control things that we ourselves can't control.

It is just fucking insane, a shit team should not be hitting 50% of their 3's no matter the contest level, yet they somehow just can vs. the C's.
Even with the 23 3's they got to 111, so just play your game, let them hit 23 3's and the C's will still win most of the time.
Play better next game and keep moving forward
MIA is very comfortable against BOS.
Om the positive side, this is a great match-up for BOS: it looks like it's going to require some growth to win. KP in particular will have to figure out his way around the new officiating.
Looks like emotional hedging the sky is falling I told you so posting has infected many of the Port Cellar threads which makes sense from a PTSD from last year's ECF perspective.
Last night sucked however it was one game. KP was awful and the Heat got historically hot from three. I don't think those two things are going to be repeated.
Bam was getting bucket after bucket over KP and Al. He made a bunch of tough shots. I think the Celtics can live with that but the wide open 3s they gave up were a real killer. If the Celtics can tighten up their defense they will be fine.

They did the same thing to the top-seeded Bucks in the first round last season and then to the Knicks and the C's before coming down to earth against Denver.
Hey. At least this game was on my laptop as I watched the B's on TV.
So I didn't have the full frustration of watching this by itself.
So I go that going for me. Which is nice.

I still feel good about this series. It's going to take a ridiculous shooting night for Miami to be competitive. Boston in 5.
