KICK ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO **** MIAMI!

[lon3lytoaster]

Why do we have two days off when everyone else has one? To accommodate Miami’s lazy no show squad having to play an extra game?

I want blood, now.

[Memokerobi]

Gotta come out with the same intensity and concentration for this one

[WeLikeOurGuys]

Miami will come out and play better but ultimately, I don't think it matters because they don't have enough scoring to keep up with us.

True.

But the Cs are their own worst enemy.

Agreed, but they can get away with that in this series.

Agree.

I have the Cs sweeping the Heat.

[Jellybeans]

If we keep playing like this on D then we will finish really fast against Miami

Felt like we played our B-/C+ game which is normal to expect after not playing competitive basketball for weeks now. Don’t expect Tatum to keep missing open threes. Celtics will play better.

Heat Culture!

Don't see the Heat having enough offensive firepower to keep up with the Celtics.

[Gant]

▪ The Celtics’ addition of center Kristaps Porzingis continues to be a game-changer in their matchup against the Heat.

With Porzingis finishing Game 1 on Sunday with 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 shooting on threes, four rebounds and two blocks, the 7-foot-2 three-point shooting big man has averaged 19.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game on 11-of-22 (50 percent) shooting from three-point range in four games against the Heat this season.

“Last year was a lot easier because they didn’t have Porzingis,” Heat second-year forward Nikola Jovic said. “I think our zone really made a lot of problems for them. I think it can make a lot of problems this year, too. But with Porzingis in the lineup, he stretches the floor and he can just shoot it over almost anyone. It’s just really hard to guard him.”

The Celtics are 4-0 against the Heat this season.

Finish the series tonight. Don’t even let it get to Game 3!

By tonight, I mean whenever the game is.

[KamikazeK]

Winning game 1 was good but not enough. Can't let them steal one in Boston. That's a fast track to an unnecessary long series.

[Homerclease]

Hopefully falling asleep in the 4th quarter in game one can be used as a kick starter for game 2 to come out with the same intensity. Punish these guys

[Fierce1]

That's by design from the best coach in the league.

[Parliament10]

Gotta come out with the same intensity and concentration for this one

Yep. And don't let up on the gas.
Put the Bench in, when the Starters get complacent.

[BK_2020]

If falling asleep means we win by 20 instead of 40 that's not a big deal.
