NBA Eastern Conf. Finals: Gm 1 – Celtics vs Heat – Thread #2, Overtime

Too much iso late in the 4th.

Miami offense just better. We knew that coming in.

No excuses though. Let's bounce back from this. My guys Brad (Stevens) and Kemba gotta do better.

Brad let's his players do what they want.

Oh well. Onto game 2. We tie it up in a dominant win. But ultimately, we need Gordon, otherwise we go home.

No clutch players in this team and the Heat just have the better coach.

Wtf! We dropped the ball on that. 2 straight 3’s by Herro and Jimmy in regulation lost us the game. Stevens dropped the ball as well. Tatum was gassed even in the 4th.

Easy W if he's remotely efficient on the offensive end. At this point I'm beyond hoping for him to figure it out. He's been struggling for too long. Just gotta hope Hayward gets back soon.

Bad game by Kemba but Stevens was horrible also. He’s supposed to be a wizard at drawing up plays yet settles for horrible iso shots. Little worried about Tatum’s ability to close out games also, have yet to see him hit a clutch shot in the fourth.

We need to go big and sit Kemba at times when Hayward comes back. Kemba has basically been struggling in 5 of the last 8 games.

That was absolutely the right play from Tatum at the end. Took it strong to the hoop. Just better defense from Bam.

HEAT now 9-2 in Overtime (regular & postseason)

Absolutely. Reminded me of a young Paul Pierce who always did the same at the end of games.

Great block and pathetic play call by Stevens.

Tatum going for the poster instead of the points. Just horrible.

We legit get blown out if not for Smart shooting out of his mind which isnt even in his wheelhouse.

Just isolation offense, gross.

Brad should be ashamed of himself

Ill News · Post #313 » by **Ill News** » Wed Sep 16, 2020 1:32 am

Our offense in the clutch has NOT been good for the past three games. Too much iso where we attack with just 5 seconds on the clock. We have many good isolation players, but that's not gonna get it done. Not against this Heat defense.

Fouling them on every possession starting the 4th quarter lost us this game. Being in the bonus for 8 minutes zapped our defensive intensity and the late game offense was awful. An ISO on every **** possession

When you have a 12 point lead heading into the fourth quarter you can’t blow that.

Anyone still think Brad is as good as Spo?? Lol the dude got his ass kicked so hard in this one. **** was twiddling his dick while Spo was kicking him from pillar to post

Gordon def would help but Stevens has to stop just allowing whatever. He hasn’t been a factor in these playoffs.

Someone asked Stevens and he said he will keep his private convos private

His son is going to ask him some day, "You left a chance to play in the NBA finals to watch my wet stanky body fall out of mom? What the **** is wrong with you? You know you made over 30 million dollars and we didn't need your midwife skills"

I think he’s still figuring it out. He’s tried deferring in the Toronto series and that didn’t work well either.

I don’t think the issue is Tatum, it’s Kemba. We aren’t going to beat them if he keeps playing like trash.
