Horford hitting 3s helps enormously.

Too much is wrong. They shouldn't be this disjointed.

Glad Grant hit that, because White not pitching that up to JT was an awful decision

It starts and always ends with defense

You play defense you have a chance. You have to outwork the hardest working team in the league. Celtics are not getting down and dirty enough. The heat look like they’re playing with their lives on the line running as fast as possible to close out. The Celtics all series have been casual about things. If they can match the heat, they should win because they are the more talented team but I don’t know if they have that in them to do it all game

You cannot tell me those shots that VIncent and Martin keep taking (and often making) are shots that should be going in 40%+

I know he made it but don’t take a 3 on a fast break like that

wow, hell of a response! That's the celtic team I know.

I thought once miami went up by 8, they were just gonna keep rolling and blow us out again, lol. But love the response and now we're up by 3. Hell yeah!

I don't want to get swept! We gotta win at least 1 game. Gotta have some pride...Celtic pride!

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

He struggles mightily with anyone who will either get under him or show active hands. Heat do both.


He should study Paul George. Tatum looks naturally stiff though.
