Celtics in six is the safe pick, so I'm going Celtics in five. Yet we'll see if that Bucks series was the Heat being that good or the Bucks not being that good. I like the matchup overall.

Ok Marcus settle down...
Does it worry anyone else that Kemba isn’t going to work with Tatum our?

Wannamaker being better than Kemba is a very bad thing.

Just a complete embarrassment on defense this quarter. This team coughs up leads at an alarming rate.

Bam just keeps getting smaller, not the guy I remember and certainly not the guy I remember from Kentucky. Like Robert Williams look much bigger.
This team likes to cut, which is new and they certainly didn't seem ready.
Brad we don't have a good bench, try not playing Semi, Grant and Wannamaker all at once.
Smart is just Smart, yet he's hitting hard shots. Walker needs to find his mojo, he got good looks all half.

Miami is getting every loose ball and is straight up the tougher team right now. Jimmy getting a rebound over Theis sums thing up right now.
It’s also tough when Spo is coaching circles around Stevens.

Oh look, the Celts blow a 14-point lead in the blink of an eye and Jimmy hasn’t even come back in yet.

This team can’t close games - they don’t know how... Hayward would probably be helpful there

The Celts went up big, and then the refs gave Miami 7 minutes of free throws. Unreal.

Complete choke job. This is all coaching down the stretch.

Just an abysmal play call by Stevens. The Heat are moving the ball on every possession, the Celtics are all iso ball and have been for several minutes.

You cannot choke a game away anymore than the Celtics just did.

That possession with Kemba attacking Jae one on one was a HUGE mistake. Late game execution needs to be better, but that was the one possession I think was truly moronic. Other than that, their guys made the plays when it counted and our guys didn't. At the end, Tatum couldn't get a stop and Bam did. It is what it is.

The Celtics decided to stop running offense, while the Heat kept the foot on the gas. |

Have you watched the team continuously cough up leads late? |

The Heat were near perfect for like the last ten minutes. That's more them than us. Yet I hated that Kemba drive on Crowder who he knows is bigger, nevermind draining the clock so he had no other choices. Yet he was good besides that. No Theis made things hard. That answers that, it was more Heat than Bucks.

I get why they do it, it's tough to pass the ball in the clutch and you don't want to not take a shot. But Stevens needs to balance that one out, the Celtics play not to lose in the dying moments and you will never chip playing like this. To be fair, I think the game was lost in the second quarter. Terrible, TERRIBLE defense. It could have been a blowout. At the end Miami just went supernova and made ridiculous plays. The second quarter defense was inexcusable and that late Kemba one on one against Jae was stupid. |
