Celtics defense has been outstanding

Think Romeo takes it personally that Herro was drafted ahead of him? And all the talk about how Boston missed out due to the coin flip?

The Heat playing some of the worst basketball I've ever seen

a weakness for us has been getting back on D in transition. Nesmith has had 2 plays tonight where he busted his a$$ to egt back on D and his hustle and scrappiness erased 2 potential Heat baskets ..

If he keeps that up and keeps shooting, he'll probably get back in the rotation

There's a SMART sighting!!!!!

terrible officiating in our favor. Clear the game has been decided before hand. Embarrassing. I really hate winning games in this fashion

This is the Celtics we love. Stevens always said defend and you give yourself a chance to win.

This is the best defensive half I’ve seen from the Celtics in like 2 years minimum lol

Okay, Smart is playing better now.

He isn't drunk - he was just playing like sh&t earlier.

Do the same in the 2nd half. Calls and bounces are favoring the more aggressive team right now.

Bad take. Celtics are playing much harder and with more force than the Heat. They deserve to have this lead

Or maybe he just needed to sweat out the booze

Hard to see the D sustaining..this is pretty nuts. Hopefully they can keep the scoring up.

Green89 · Post #217 » by **Green89** » Fri Nov 5, 2021 12:39 am

That's how you close a half. Strong plays from Smart in the final minutes.

This doesn’t even look like the same team.

PierceFan4ever · Post #219 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Fri Nov 5, 2021 12:40 am

LETS **** GOOOO!!!

Honestly Tatum doesn’t even have to score like that if he moves the ball like he’s been doing. Some open shots missed from the Celtics but the heat are scrambling when Tatum is moving the ball instead of iso chuck. Obviously we need him to score but not in the way where he has to carry the squad post JB injury last season.

Well, that half certainly has me intrigued. Is there a chance?
