Hell no. Dude is a walking bucket. We were just awful last year with smart, grant and Rob is useless on offense.

Nope Robinson and Herro are very easy targets defensively and Herro being out helped them slow our offence


Lol. Spo is a genius. He kept awful defensive players hidden with his system. Keep telling yourself that. Heat better off with Herro out is just laughable.

Wrong.

There’s only so many bad defensive players you can hide at the one time.

If his awful defensive players are hidden in his system, how come we are gonna score 140 on them?


Because we are much better on offense now???
He was referring to the finals last year lol.


We are finally cooking that zone defense!!!!

KP back on the bench which is a good sign. Be even better if we don't need him and he can just rest the rest of the way.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Pritchard !! LFG !!!
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I want JT to get one more assist for the Celtics to have 5 players with 5+ assists. I’m greedy

The zone crap does not work against this Celtics team at all. Heat have no defensive scheme against this years team. I’ll respect them enough to make it a fight if we ever do make it but they don’t scare me even if they hit bs shots. They had a historic shooting last series against us and won in 7, part of the Celtics not coming out ready to play to start the series, they can repeat that again if they wanted but the Celtics offense is so much better and would make quick work.

Real question with KP is if he plays on Sunday. Doesn't seem like he's long term hurt?

It has to be soul crushing to shoot pretty much 50% and 45% from 3 and getting smoked by 30.

Either way, we still gave up way too much.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

He was referring to the conf finals last year lol.

If you don’t think a defensive turnstile in Herro being missing had a significant impact on that series then I don’t know what to say.

We are talking about a guy who would have played 30 mins a game.

We didn’t lose last season because of defence

Our schedule gets spread out & much easier after the Clips/Pelicans/Pacers at home coming up!
