I'm surprised they don't post up Jrue. At least not yet. He had some games killing the celtics with post ups. I was shocked how good he was in the post.

Definitely started out looking like last year.... All tho, last year's team made runs too. I need to see how they come out in the second half. Last year's team would almost without question get dominated in the 3rd and then try to play catch up in the 4th to this heat team.


Yep. Third quarters were absolute horror shows last year. That is definitely something that has to change this year.

Run away from these mofos in the second half.
We are a much better team.

JT finally wised up & spent a month w Truth.
Love it.

Brissett a team-high +11 in 7 mins. That tracks. He was key to the comeback.

Looks like our top 8 guys are set in stone. 9th man is Kornet when we face teams with more size at the 4/5 spots and Brissett when we face smaller teams..

Like the energy Brissett played with. He was an absolute beast on the offensive boards, really crashed those boards hard. That dunk he had was big, too to keep our momentum going.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Thank goodness Caleb 'The Celtics Killer' Martin has not seen playing time yet. Is he injured?

This would be more meaningful if Miami wasn't a team that is actually good and consistently goes deep into the playoffs. Like it or not, those nobodies have proven time and time again that they can get wins including when it matters most (except in the Finals)


yes again. Coaching matters.. they have the TOP coach ours might be bottom 3.

JT willing to score more in the low post will be a game changer.

His shooting % will go up and it will be much harder to guard the Celtics overall.

Even if what you're saying is true, a bottom 3 coach is good enough to lead this team to Banner 18.

They were legit a couple of years ago. Last year they mostly rode shooting variance and injury luck to the finals.

They're good, and if you take them lightly they'll make you pay for it, but they aren't a top 5 team in the league.

Need more of that from JT in the 2nd half. Could take its toll on his body though, even if he's an iron man.

Yes, commentating with Mike and Scal. Showing a bunch of highlights and reminiscing about the days. He said he'll drop by all season. :D
