Majority were expecting something like this to happen.

It's a good thing Brad didn't stand pat at the deadline.

X is not as good as KP on offense, but he's better on defense and one tough dude.

Yes. So nice that we have Horford,Tillman, Kornet, Queta to step up. Personally I like Tillman to get the majority of the minutes behind Horford but it seems Kornet is favored by the coaching staff.

agreed Tillman has that Vlade Divac passing skills downlow too. We don't need a 3 pt specialist at the 5, he's a banger. Looking ahead, Cleveland is solid at the 5 and will be a challenge at the rim on both ends.... First thing first, BEAT THE HEAT with a bush league sweep, aint no gentlemen on that team lol

Just heard Jaime Jaquez is out tonight. He might be a greater loss for Heat than KP is for us given they are already undermanned.

True.

Miami lost some size.

Jacquez is a big dude.

Side note, amazing the heat always pull off these random positive contributors. Jaquez, Jovic, and Highsmith...

[BK_2020]

Highsmith as a positive contributor is really stretching it.

[Homerclease]

You could argue that Jacquez has been their best player this series. Really tough loss for the Heat. We just have to avoid Patty Mills firing up the way back machine and going on a heater from behind the arc

Who else is excited for the Celts to evicerate the heat tonight??

I am

[Fierce1]

I'm excited to finally see JT explode!

He's been playing well, but not great.
The shooting % is low.

This could be the game JT gets 40 or more.

I guess there's a post on the NBA subreddit saying Tatum doesn't command special defensive attention and that post has 1500 upvotes lol. So then a Celtics fan posted this...

I am at peace with KP being out for a few weeks or whatever. We'll need him more in a month than we do now and if he's not playing for the next few weeks it means he can't get some worse injury with even worse timing lol.

I am

is water wet?

actually it feels far more like a need than excitement for me. Like stomping on an annoying Fly or something. We/Boston really need to move on.

[KamikazeK]

Now's the time to put this scrubs out of the playoffs once and for all.

[meatball sub]

honestly, getting to the point where KP returns that'll be such a HUGE morale boost for the team. Just finish off the Heat tonight, get through these next series as quickly as possible & then see how many games we can afford to have KP sit out in the ECF. The last thing we want is to rush him back and he pops his achillies.

one game at a time. Everyone's just assuming were rolling right to the ECF....Finish the Heat tonight! Clevelands going to be a problem. Their guards will be the ultimate challenge for White and Holiday and their BIGS are legit.

[PierceFan4ever]

The Jays are due for a big game. Please don’t **** disappoint at home again. Need to be dominant at home throughout these postseasons

[zoyathedestroya]

This is the most calm I’v been coming into a game this series. Which just means two things:

• I’m heavily medicated.
• I let my guard down and this doesn’t bode well for our chances to win the game. Nothing is over until that banner is raised. I say that calmly. Maybe I can relax, but our players can’t.

[The Corey's]

Some of y'all wilding.

The Heat came back to earth like thy should have and they ain't rising again.

Celtics win this **** running away.

[Larry_Russell]

30+ point win.
