Good news, guys! We have a 3% chance to win this series. :roll: . Does the media know something we don't know?

The analytics metrics are just based off of regular season team stats like net rating. We had a negative point differential in regular season. It ain't that serious

Wonder if we go with the zone right from the get-go? I'm thinking we will.

I think Caleb will be our first sub and once he's in we'll switch it up to man-to-man defense with the zone used sparingly as well.

We all remember the criticism that poured on Bam last playoffs. I'm actually excited to see Bam's performance here. Williams isn't the same as last yr. I'm going to come out & predict Bam will improve from last seasons ECF line of 15.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists. He's key in this series. I'm sure he doesn't want to have to tell media again about a loss being on him & he has to play better.

A solid outing str8 off the bat would be nice here.

Anticipating wether Jimmy will have some explosiveness today. Hopefully the 4 days rest helped a bit. We need Buckets to be Him.

Nice splashes frm Duncan. Remember Robinson was a big concern for Stevens & the Celtics. He's currently shooting 42.6% from the arc these PO's, which i believe is his best %. Hopefully he keeps draining from deep.

Super-Human Edrice would be ideal.

Tatum says he knows what it takes to win a chip. Hope Bam does too. Butler cant do it himself.

He shot 29% from 3 for us during the regular season, but he's actually shooting 34% from 3 for us in the playoffs. He just had a really bad couple games to close out the Knicks, he was actually pretty good up until those games.

I know just clowning.

But I also know that no ifs, ands or buts about it… we need guys who are specialized 3 point shooters to hit their clean looks at the clip that makes them specialized 3 point shooters on the court in the nba if we want a real chance at succeeding.

Those looks are hard to come by and are the result of star and team execution. Can’t be wasted

The Heat have won game 1 of their last 5 playoff series, 2 of those were away games (last two series). Let's go for 6 series in a row babyyyy. Let's suck all of the wind out from their sails and squash any momentum they might think they have coming off that game 7 win over the sham sixers.

Secret weapon for this series will be Haywood Highsmith on Jaylen/Tatum in the Dipo role of last year. Let's gooooo.

Jimmy rested that ankle and drank that big face coffee. Let's get this game 1.
