Make Tatum and Brown beat us and shut everybody else down. I don't think the C's can handle that

Their single coverage defense leaving their guys on an island is pretty bold too. They have good defenders and size but still

Sure, but a single screen with drop coverage plays right into what Miami wants. It's the best possible situation for Herro and he took full advantage of all the space he got.

Yep that’s why I actually thought he may have been able to help on the finals last year. The other series not so much but against Denver’s drop we could’ve got something there maybe

All the other team has to do is make sure there's defensive pressure on him, don't drop on Herro and it's fixed or fight over the screen and have the big show on him until his defender recovers. It's like day and night when he has open space which is why he's usually much better in the regular season.

Miami need to make it a priority to run Porz off the floor and put pressure on Tatum.. restrict their 3pt opportunity…

Boston is going to come out hot like the front runners they are and try to end this one quick. Heat have to weather the storm in this one and stay attached, get this thing into the late 3rd with it being close, and I like our chances.

Boston is going to start seeing ghosts out there

I’m considering buying tickets either for game 3 or 4 and driving down to Miami for the day. It would be special because it would be my son’s first game. I very clearly remember going to my first game with my uncle (who was like my father) and my cousin, when I was about my son’s age. Now roughly almost 30 years later, I can’t wait for him to experience it.l, especially in a playoff atmosphere where the arena should be rockin’. I would prefer to go in a winning effort. I’m thinking that we probably have better chances of winning game 4. If you had to guess, game 3 or 4?

I really think if Rozier is ready to go they need to bring him back and not wait till we lose a game or something, and then hope we can throw him in there and he can be a difference maker.

If he can go for game 3, just do a last minute upgrade to his status and throw Mazulla's dumb ass off even more. Bring him back off the bench, but bring him back.

They need to pair up Rozier with wright and that’s it. If we see Herro with Rozier RIP defense

Game 4 would be my bet too.

Playing in Miami doesn't give me much confidence.

In the 2022 ECF against Boston, we only won 1 game in Miami the entire series (which was game 1). We lost games 2, 5, and 7 in our house.

In the 2023 ECF against Boston, we once again only won 1 game in Miami the entire series (which was game 3). We lost games 4 and 6 on our home court.

We play a lot better in Boston than in Miami, and the Celtics play a lot better in Miami than in Boston.

Yep, definitely one of the weirder things about our series with them. Maybe it flows different without Jimmy and relying more on role players but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’d say we lose this one but maybe can get game 4

If we score more points than them, we win. Not sure why they don’t do this every time. It never fails.

From the Heat Reddit;

If in attendance for today's game @ Kaseya Center – I will pay you a [redacted] amount of money if you + others can successfully initiate the loudest possible "You're Not Like That" chant, at any, and all of the following opportunities:

• When Jaylen Brown has the ball in possession

• Whenever Jaylen Brown is taking (2) free throws

The rules are:

• Chant must be loud enough to be audible over broadcast

• Must simultaneously film the ongoing chant

Bonus points if chant is repeated, successfully

Once completed, share the video in this sub, or share a link to the video, in the comments below.

Looking forward to this!

The team is so chaotic that you can convince me about any possibility.

Gentleman’s Sweep in our favor? Sure!

Lose 3 straight? Maybe!

A hilariously stressful 7-game series? No surprises there!
