I have no idea why Kemba isn’t initiating more of the offence. I know Smart is hot right now but seems like a massive missed opportunity.

Same for Dragic in the other side.

I am impressed by Jaylen Brown's 2nd leap. He's like a pogo stick out there.

Keep that confidence, Smart. Your teammates are trash. Definitely never trust them.

I gained a lot of respect for Toronto in the last series...So Toronto fans, don't take this the wrong way. But it is refreshing to see Spo on the sidelines and not Nurse looking like he's about to have an aneurysm

Great D by the C's respect. Miami second unit calmed things down a bit but the starters have to be more aggressive and purposeful on the offensive end. Get to the Line if anything.

Brown is 2 inches shorter than Tatum, yet he plays so much bigger than him.

What is this guy smoking? Tatum is all nba potential, and will be for a long Time.

It's from a super extra very hilarious comedy sketch about two regular fellows who board a commercial airplane flight hoping to catch some terrorists. It's all meaningless nonsense, but it is very funny. Thank you for your explanation.

MIA has to feel relieved they are only own by 8. Celtics were playing with their food that quarter, and took like 4 terrible heat checks. This could easily be a 16 point game right now.

Like what I'm seeing from the Celtics. Heat are struggling with the Celtics speed and ability to switch everything and not lose much on that end

He's better built to throw his body into defenders. Tatum is kinda lanky.
