Heat Scorch C's From 3! Game 2 Loss vs MIA 4/24 (Series tied 1-1)

[return2glory]

Must say I’m sick of hearing Tatum and Brown say we expected Miami to be tough etc with our history against them.

GTFO with that pathetic BS.

A team with our firepower and regular season success should be absolutely smoking an 8th seed minus its best player. And no, I don’t **** care how good their coach is.

There should be zero excuses to smashing this team.

Let's not forget they are playing without Butler and Rozier. The Celtics are a soft team, physically and mentally.

Fact fact fact. Saying they’ll be tough and all that after what happened last season is embarrassing. You would think they would get up to play this team every game but no

Team with 6 more made threes than their opponent is now 6-0 in these playoffs.

Cs hit 10 more threes than Heat in G1. Heat made 11 more threes than Cs in G2.

Three losses from the inevitable Joe Mazzulla firing. If Brad won't show him the door, Wyc will show Brad the door.

I'm glad smart is gone.

But I owe him an apology. I thought he was the reason this **** happens.

Starts with the Jays.

Only they can have massive points and still come out of it looking like they're missing something.

I’ve been saying it all season.

We will never win anything easily and will always have issues in crunch time because Tatum and Brown are good but they cannot effortlessly score buckets like KD, LeBron, Jokic etc can.

It’s been an issue going back to the Bubble.

Teams know this and throw bodies at them and they struggle when the intensity ramps up.

We still may be good enough to win a title but **** will never be easy.

Just getting clowned year after year. It's **** annoying. Put them away please.

KP was abysmal or whatever is worse than that.

I thought White was worse than Jrue, but only just.

JB was good and bad…

It was obvious to me after game 1 Miami needed to spam 3s to win, so this was beyond bad from Joe and team. I’ve been giving Joe faith and some rope this year but game 3 better be vastly different. Hard to know with our team and their habits regardless of coach if they just don’t execute what’s asked of them too…I don’t rule that possibility out, but I’d rather Joe had some balls to say that in the press conference if so.

Additionally, when KP is bad and Al was playing well, leave Al in longer and try Tillman or something different to change up the energy.

I expected a 5 game series, so that’s their one if we’re at all serious.

To be fair to Brad, Ime put him in a tough spot to make another change so fast but he'll have no choice but to change coaches if they have a similar playoff collapse. Regardless of the PO outcome, I think they need to move off Brown and try to find a better complement to Tatum.

The Ime situation was a joke. If it wasn’t bad enough to get him out of the NBA it shouldn’t have been bad enough to get him out of Boston.

That doesn’t mean anything.

The Rockets are unlikely to know what’s gone on due to NDAs signed.

Ime **** up in Boston and made his position untenable. Not the organisations fault.

Facts man PC Brad had to put his cape on lol.

**** LOL at acting like the decision was down to Brad.

Lakers made 5 more 3s than Denver in game 2, were up 20 in the third, and lost.

"Make or miss" is nothing but an excuse

I would have put Brad back as interim coach when Ime was suspended.

I'm a fan of Brad, that's why I don't hate Joe because I know it's Brad's system Joe is using.

I mentioned nothing about "make or miss". My posts this entire thread were about how we defended poorly and how it had little to do with luck. Spo came into the game with a clear strategy and identified a weakness in our defense, took advantage while we never adjusted.

Denver is the exception to the rule. It's hard to beat the math. Nuggets are one of the few teams that do.

The Heat are a playoff team that coasts in the regular season. The Celtics are a regular season juggernaut that fails in the playoffs.

[Fierce1]

Anyone here who believes the Heat are going to make 20 3-pointers every game until the series is over?

Better hope the Heat win this series or that post of yours will end up looking like troll poo.

It's hard to beat the math...

Unless you're the champions, and the clear cut championship favorites. So what does that tell you about about how reliable the math is if we want to win a championship?

We, a 64-18 team just got beaten at home, by an 8 seed missing their best player and an import roleplayer, and lost homecourt because our guys couldn't execute, and properly defend like you said.

The champions set a standard. We shouldn't care how hard it is to beat the math. If we are a serious championship team, we find a way to beat the math. Period. Especially against a team like this.

More symptoms just continue to pop up.

In my eyes, a successful season is making the finals, and making it competitive. Because this squad is not beating Denver.

Agreed.

But it’s also hilarious how over-reactionary it all is.

We just lost one game. ONE.

It’s going to be the same all playoffs. Quite funny.

Cs should have hired Doc to cure the symptoms.

If we keep defending it like we did tonight then I wouldn’t rule it out. Fool me once…

[JR Hawks]

Why we talking about Denver? Celtics aren't making it out of the East.
