You predicted Cs in 5 games.

Cs will eventually have to lose one.

Why not this game?


….what?

There are those who predicted the Cs beat Miami in 5 games.

zoya didn't predict a sweep.

So the Cs would have to lose one game for the 4-1 prediction to happen.

If we gave Horford an extended run in the 2nd quarter we would be up double digits.

Needs to step up as well as KP and Jrue. Not sure why Jrue has 7 attempts when he isn’t much of an offensive threat aside from shooting open threes cutting for layups.

They are hiding Herro on him.

If the Celtics give them open looks, they won’t probably because that’s how it goes against the Heat. Make them drive in with their limited offensive players

Shaq is such a bitch he’s so upset the Celtics are up.

I wouldn’t be opposed to starting this quarter with hauser in for zinger. It won’t happen but kp was hurting us.

Biggest adjustment we need out of the half is to guard the three better.

Heat shot 54% from 3 in the 1st half.

That's not how good Miami is from 3pt land.

It's just an aberration.

The heat will give it their all this game. This is their only chance for the series. Lose and they are toast. We should not wait till the 4th before we play better D.

I didn't see anything different from the Celtic defense.



Almost every Miami 3 was open...no that's not how they play defense..not good defense.

It was the same in Game 1.

The difference is Miami was not making them in Game 1.


last time I checked 24 three attempts in the 1st half is more than 12...like last game..

It's not the volume, it's the makes.

Heat were just 32% from 3 last game.

This game Miami is at 54%.

You would think we learnt from last year with the whole “they can’t keep shooting like this” mantra.

I can't even believe that.

You mean getting the steal to ensure the Heat don’t get another chance in the half.



No. I mean throwing the all out of bounds instead of taking the easy 3.

Do you need glasses?
