This is not on Mazzulla - its an embarrassing defensive and all-around effort from this group at home against a group of ragtags.

I really need Jrue to have the self confidence to shoot that. Regardless great end to the half.

The offense is moving in slow motion right now. They need to get into their actions faster, swing the ball, and then go downhill. Miami has zero size to contest when they do that. Agreed. When we play with pace and get into actions quickly, we force mismatches and destroy Miami.

I’m not usually one to complain about officiating, but it’s absolutely insane what Bam is allowed to get away with out there. Guy is playing football Miami has subscribed to the Seattle Seahawks legion of boom mentality for years under Spo - push the limits of physicality and "legal" maneuvers so far that it becomes untenable for the game to continue if each illegal movement is called. It's really just gross. No excuses for losing the game right now or series in the past - simply calling a spade a spade.

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.

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

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.

We are going to annihilate the Heat. I have no doubts. Really hope Jimmy can play but it's looking doubtful.

Tatum is still so confusingly inconsistent. I think we would take the Nuggets in 7 but it would be a hell of a series.

Nothing really substantial to add, but man what a beautiful, perfect trade it was to get KP. The man is just so perfect for the role Boston has given him. He's arguably the best trade any Boston team has made in the last decade. IMO only thing that can keep us from a championship this season is something going wrong with Porzingis lower body.

Gotta say I am liking the focus of this team much better than the teams of past. They show up, run their sets aggressively, and put teams away that they should.

Disasterclass. They should be embarrassed for the way they played tonight.

Whole team kinda choked at the end, looked exhausted, it happens. Fun game overall taking out the last 4 mins, at least we battled on defense and matched their physicality.
Jrue has been worse on offense overall than I thought he would be.

With Shai at an MVP level the Thunder are legitimate championship contenders. Can't wait to see them again.

You knew that a Tatum midrange miss was coming there. So predictable, lol

Queta needs to be a regular rotation piece, take over Kornets role and take a few minutes from Horford too. I've seen enough. He's actually legit, great signing by Brad. One thing he's VERY underrated at is screening, which has been a key piece to unlocking the offense. Not even exaggerating, he's been that impactful. Would love to sign him to a guaranteed cheap deal.

So...Derrick White is an all star. Is the league ready to acknowledge that?

I hate this Warriors team with every fiber of my being and cannot wait until their franchise is irrelevant.

Playing like they are seeing finals ghosts. Insanely tight and missing bunnies, just so sad to see to a massively inferior team.

I know we loved Marcus Smart's heart, but wow. Derrick White is so much better than him, not to even mention Jrue.
