Am I remembering correctly. Didn’t people question Anthony Edwards competitiveness and desire to be great heading into the draft?

I’m looking forward to the Celtics destroying this Heat team.
Mismatches across the floor.

If this isn't a sweep it's a failure. Destroy this team.

We are getting WAY too trigger happy from 3. Also, where is Jaylen after starting en fuego?
Good first quarter but I need Horford and Tatum to make better more calm decisions given their experience.

I prefer the first few minutes Celtics. They should play like that instead.

That's exactly what we need. Tatum doubled, gives it up, swing it around, high percentage open 3 attempt. Take what they give us.

What a hideous half of basketball. This Miami team is so untalented. This should be a two possession game.

Brown seems a bit careless, unfocused

Took too long to get to a 30 point lead.

I really can't wait to hear the contrarian hot takes tomorrow.

Honestly I don't think it would be a terrible idea in those situations to give guys like Brissett and Hauser with fresh legs run. Its obvious when they are gassed and mentally checked out and this is a thing with them.
I understand them taking the foot off the gas but IF you know they are going to do it, something needs to change faster.

yep. These starters can't be trusted with a big lead. They just dont want to be on the court if they are winning by 20 points or more. Be better off if they let the bench come in, at least they would give effort. They let Miami feel good about themselves at the very least going into game 2. This team makes winning frustrating way too often.

Miami balled like their lives depended on it in the 4th, I don’t think anything of it.
Caleb Martin tackling Tatum was classless.

Easy win with Holiday and Brown not at their best. Hope they make quick work of the Heat.

Relying on 3pt shooting variance against significantly inferior opponents won’t win you the championship this season.
But it will probably at least get you to the finals 😂

It's not about this game, it's about a mentality that has been going on with this team for years. The way teams can score in the NBA, a 20 point lead can be erased, especially when a team gets hot from 3. I don't think this will be a big deal against Miami, maybe not even in the next round, but this is about winning a championship this year. Having mental lapses in the playoffs for a quarter shows a lack of killer instinct. Letting off the gas, as even Tatum admitted in his post-game interview, isn't acceptable for a team in the playoffs.
It might have been an overreaction in the moment. I want them to win as much as anyone, but I dont want them to repeat the same problems they have had in the past, I want them to overcome them. To me that's how they're going to win this year.
