This is good, let this happen now instead of against a greater opponent.

I mean it’s been happening for like 4 years but yes..this should be the last one. Believe it.

Yeah we just went 64-18 because we blow leads all the time.

Honestly. As long as team closes out then this may be for the best. Just a bit of a wake up call not to get carried away going into game 2.

Brother, they lost three games in a row last year. Wake up calls don’t really exist for these guys.

Joe is a **** clown

Against the far depleted talented team like Miami it's probably no big deal but once we start playing More talented teams Joe is a useless **** literally just stands there wondering what the **** is happening..

Meanwhile why are we playing this double big line up which hasn't been good Most of the time

As long as they get past Miami, the only team to worry about is Denver. Miami knows how to play the Celtics better than anyone. Don't use this series as a barometer for how they'll play if they move on.

If this gets under 10 the way these guys will shrink up lol

They already shrank

bunch of clowns

Tatum isn't aware that he's even the problem.

[CelticsPride18]

It was a fake rally, but Tatum played like a clown down the stretch

Worry about every team because this teams consistency in the playoffs has been questionable.
Gotta prove it to me this year!

[JaMarco]

I have to admit, Bam has been fantastic in this game.

[Parliament10]

Celtics have to learn to not take their foot off the gas.

There's been way too many wake up calls already for JT and JB. It starts with them regardless of who they're surrounded with. Will ease on the high expectations after they raise the LOB.

Anyone who is genuinely concerned about this match being in the bag right from the off needs to have a quiet word with one’s self. I know it’s Miami but come on guys

[Fierce1]

Meltdown Crew warming up.

It's not like the Cs will lose this game.

Stupid play is stupid in a win or loss!

I agree.

But it's not like something like this disappears in an instant.

Cs will get better over time.

[ThePigeon]

Instead of burying them by beating them by 50, deflate them, ruin their culture - you fuel it. you give them hope
We will win, no doubt, but why make it hard?!

[BK_2020]

fake comebacks happen all the time. not even worried.

[meatball sub]

this is why people think the NBA is rigged, and it likely is. there's so reason the celtics shouldn't have wont this by 25-30 points. vegas wanted us to keep it within that 13-16 range

[PierceFan4ever]

DIRTY **** HEAT

[BK_2020]

And now Caleb Martin undercutting Tatum. You can't tell me with a straight face they aren't doing this on purpose.

[CelticsPride18]

**** dirty team

[Bar Fight]

Dirty ass team
