How the heck did Pat Riley turn Caleb Martin into Carmelo Anthony? Butler is getting all the credit but Martin so far is the Heat MVP.

Barkley had an interesting observation. The Celts play great D when their 3s are falling, and bad D when they aren't. Also...break the zone with ball movement and dribble penetration. Isn't every team different when the 3's are falling? Least favorite Heat player? Without a doubt Lowry. 2 quick phantom calls, wtf?

They only outscored Miami by 2 in the second quarter. Gotta come out strong in the 3rd and nail this one shut. Totally agree but man people are hitting the panic button in a quarter in which the Celtics outscored the Heat. Sorry but this is not about how you feel it's about the score. Did Miami even get under 11 the whole quarter? It was a very even quarter but the D overall held them to 44, if we do that again, it's on to game 6. The D could be more consistent but at times was outstanding. Drive at Duncan whenver possible and shorten their short bench more. The offense overall has been good, Brown who has been the worst Celtic in the series finally woke up today. That could be a turning point in the series.

They’ve hit some threes here but keep giving up points. The Heat shouldn’t be able to score off Duncan Robinson pick and rolls and Kyle Lowrie isos. I'd like the Celtics to attack Duncan as he has 3 PF already and their bench is already thin. Edit: Did White get a foul for playing excellant D there?

So is Williams but that didn't stop him from blocking the shot.

Stop? And you belive everything the media feeds you? Weapons of mass destruction? Here's the thing you think I come from one side of politics, because that is as far as your mind can think, I'm for neither side. I'm sure you can't fathom that. I see reality, you see what is fed to you. I don't want to belive sports are sometime fixed, you don't even belive that last sentence but I don't ignore reality just because I wan't to belive in something different. Really read that last sentence whether or not you agree with me that should in the least give you some pause. I fear it won't. Just as I suspected. You are a nutcase. If I could figure out how to hide your bullshit, I would. I avoid people like you like the plague. And that's why we are all doomed. Edit: And you never adressed any point I made, you ignored it, pushed past it. That is the blueprint of those on the wrong side of reality and what they do to a T. You cannot adress any of the points I made. Reality is we live in a world of corruption that's rampant. Sports is something many of us clung to, (I'm guilty to) becuase we all wanted to believe it's the one true level playing field. We we are taught as children by coaches we cannot blame refs becuase that makes us think like losers. Those coaches are actually right for them and for those participating in the game. But here's the rub it's not true for anyone else especially sports with gambling involved. WAY to many cling to those thought drilled into our clayable thoughts. Well there are several documentaries that PROVE that idea is simply wrong, and wanting to believe different does not make you ignorant but it makes you dumb because once you have been exposed to information you can't claim ignorance no matter how much that thought comforts you and others make you mad. Sorry.

Under 5 minite left, first 6 free throws by Miami, 21 seconds left he announcers are laughing at how bad the refs were, just STOP! Stop listening to your coaches when your were 8. Are you one of those bizarre conspiracy theory types? Just stop. It's like you live in an alternate reality. Stop? And you belive everything the media feeds you? Weapons of mass destruction?

Boston 21-24. Stop. The total means nothing at ALL, it's when they are given that actually matters, 5 minutes left in the game Miami took 6 straight. Out of bounds late and the man throwing it in is doing the moon walk so much so that even the National anouncers were laughing at how bad it was, nothing called.

Brown -22, Horford (who looked OLD) -15, Smart (who did not play smart) -13. 15 turnovers and missing open 3s killed them. Outscored 36-22 in the 4th. Richly deserved loss - again. Brown was terrible tonight, one of his worst games. This sucks!

That is a mistake but EVERYONE should be noting the call discrepancy here at the end it's INSANE. Dude, the Celtics have gotten some very generous calls. Under 5 minite left, first 6 free throws by Miami, 21 seconds left he announcers are laughing at how bad the refs were, just STOP! Stop listening to your coaches when your were 8.

I’d be shocked if we win a close one. Look at it as if we are due. To many calls late in the fourth have been all for Miami, just saying an obvious observation. Edit: It is beyond ridiculous, seriously.

We've had a tough time in close games this playoffs, 2-5 by my tally. We need to pull this one out. I'm getting heart palpitations. Come on Brown!

In this game you actually have ball movement with Robert Williams. Yeah some turnovers, yet they are moving the ball and run a few plays. Every game with the Heat is so stressful. You can hate them all you want but you have to respect the hell out them. Edit: Except for Lowry, mabe Love too.

Defensive intensity needs to be greater - Tatum took that defensive possession off and it led to a dunk. Playing with their food - time and time again. The alley opp/shot he was the last man back on the court and he jogged slowly. You can't take plays off. Overall he's been on of our the best players on the court but their is to much at stake to take a play off.

If Lowry and Smart played one on one who would foul out first? Lowry is such a punk.
Edit: Martin keeping them in this.

Great end to the quarter. Grant Williams needs to be playing 20+ a game this series. One thing I like so far is how well Butler has been defended. One thing I don't is seeing Tatum hit some early 3's because his best games seems to be when he mainly drives to the hoop in the first half which gives him some space to mainly drop 3's in the second, but I may be overthinking here. Rob is active and that's always a good thing. I feel like we are about to erupt.

It's very basic but the team that hits more open shots wins, Celtics have not.
Edit: I do think in the second or third the Celts will drop it (shots) like it's hot. I think they are due.

Fun game so far - both teams feeling each other out. Boston figuring it out, opened a lead. Strong game by Rob so far. As has Smart and the last basket before the half from Smart to Rob exemplified that for both players. Has Smart ever had 10 assist by half time? Rob is allready at 12 pts and 6 Rebounds. Miami is pesky and will stick to us like white on rice but I'll take more of this first half as no-one stands out as having played poorly for the Cs.
