I know you love this angle but I would imagine that everyone will be pretty vocal and negative
Bingo. This year’s Cs is an exercise in seeing if million dollar talent can overcome a 5 cent head.
52% from three is crazy. Some of those are on the Cs defense, especially in the third quarter, but still.
Miami won’t shoot like that all series but my god are the Celtics just a dumb basketball team. The unforced errors are unconscionable.
Got it to 5 with 4:50 left, then scored 1 point over the next 3 min.
Obviously this game was lost in the third quarter but still had a chance, just couldn't capitalize
Missing 7 free throws is tough, they all felt huge.

Miami also shot 75% from midrange tonight. Wide open midrange in the NBA is normally like 55%.
As I was told they learned their lesson.
Good thing it's only G1.
And there is time for them to get a PHD

Jaylen had a bad game but I really think this game was a 95+%th shooting performance from the Heat. Not worried just yet.
To be fair, it seemed like the Celtics totally neglected Tatum at times. Maybe take your Porsche out besides the weekend? He finished 11-11 from the FT line and he'll get many more calls than JB gets on the "superstar" front.
They didn't chase any of those shots. Malcolm Brogdan probably didnt lift his arms above his head on defense once tonight.
As badly as they played in the second half, this game really came down the sequence late in the 4th of Brown missed 3, Horford missed 3/turnover, Tatum turnover.
They needed points.
And wasted those trips.
Costly.

But then they turned the reins over to Tatum and he totally shit the bed.
Miami played a great game tonight. Butler was by far the best player on the court. But I'm not sure they have another one in them.
Let's hope.

This is the story to me. Celtics finally knuckled down on defense after getting it down to five and then had six terrible trips.
Miami was always going to win some games this series by outshooting us. This was one of them.
You watch enough NBA to know this sucks but nothing that happened was surprising.
When people lock in to predictions - which is insane because nobody can know the future - all they are doing is setting up a battle between their bruised egos (and again they shouldn't be - predictions are silly) and reality. Then we get angry posts because someone is wrong and that can't happen. I opted out of that twisted dynamic years ago.
You’re right but then he got the ball and had 3 straight embarrassing turnovers (I honestly thought it was going to be 4 but he got a foul call). The entire team was really bad in the 2nd half.
