My favorite part was Tatum blowing kisses to the crowd in the 1st qtr :D and what came after.

Problem is you should expected Bosoton to made adjustment in game 3. What works in game 2 probably will not work in game 3. That’s something to consider and be prepared for.

Good efforts by Jovic but he needs to work on his turnovers.

He took 9 3s out of 13 shots last game. The problem with 3s is that they can be very volatile game to game. You aren't getting up that many 3s without "bad shots" sprinkled in. You just have to be capable of making tough shots. You don't get to pick and choose like a role player.

Herro's shots were in the flow of the offence except for a few. Hope we continue to put him in the right spots.

Mickey8 wrote:Play off Adebayo >Play off Embiid. Jovic almost played the perfect game if it wasn't for those turnovers. When he drives the ball to the rim , he hesitates to drive it to the end and then he throws the ball for the turnover , that's how he makes the turnovers most of the times. He needs to go strong to the end.

He's awesome going to his left hand in both the half/full court all his bad plays on drives are him going to his strong hand (right), if the Heat are going to use him as a ball handler with screens it should be going to his left he makes like 70% of his left handers and seems very little on his right.

Tatum looked real pissed they lost and slammed ball on court at end. Could be game three loss breaking point for Boston.


He did the same exact thing after losing a crushing Game 4 at home in the NBA Finals. He knew they dun goofed then, maybe he's feeling it in his anoose again now.

This is the Bam I need to see consistently. That aggressive mindset on offense when the game was getting close he basically told the Celtics "**** Off" and hit clutch basket after basket. I love it!!

Herro had a solid game. Made the right plays and kept looking for guys.

Caleb wasn't a bone head today which was great to see.

Other guys performed well.

This might just be me but I smell a Duncan Robinson sniper mode game coming in game 3. If we get Rozier back even for a few minutes next game things could really get interesting.

I really wish Jimmy and Rozier were healthy. We could've made some noise.

This is like a boxing match where the overwhelming favorite has been caught by a nasty hook, and is staggered. What you can't do is let them regain footing, and get their feel back. Have to pounce right now on them, and turn this thing into a war. Go up 2-1 and this series takes on a very different feel. At that point its a back alley bar fight, you can toss the records and injuries out at that point.

The key will be to continue to jack up 3s at the rate we were, and live with the 1on1 matchups inside the 3 point line on defense. When the Celtics could not drive and kick to wide open 3s they really seemed to bog down offensively.

I do wonder if we can get this to 6 games if there is any chance Jimmy rises from the grave. He would be 2+ weeks out off the MCL sprain
