The Heat are like jitterbugs out there, constantly moving without the ball. Soooo tough to defend.

Four of those were sloppy plays by Kemba.

Resetting expectations, and that’s okay.

Game one came down to the buzzer. We led most of it. We're leading now. It'll probably come down to the buzzer.

It's gonna be a tight series. If what you're seeing on your screen is telling you that we're overmatched, that's a little too pessimistic, imo.

These teams are as evenly matched as any two playoff teams from this season imo. Neither team has an edge really and either team can win this series and it wouldn’t be a shocker.

Then they went 1-8, and now we lead.

It's a simple game, sometimes.

The point is that you don't want the games to come down to who shoots better. Because that's how Miami goes to the finals. The Celtics need to win in other areas (rebounding, getting looks inside, taking care of the ball and sharing the ball) and take the make-or-miss out of it.

It feels so sentimental seeing Kanter out there again

I just checked the stats and he only has 1 foul.

Did Stevens just find a matchup that Spo doesn't want to play Bam for against Kanter?

I'll take the tradeoff of having a turnstill in Kanter if it means we get zero rim blocking on the other end for Tatum drives to the basket.

I think that's a horrible overreaction by Spo.

Yeah I found it odd Kanter forced Bam off the floor seemingly, but I'll take it if it's a sign of things to come

I mean he played 8 minutes, which isn’t that low for a center.

The ball movement is just poor.

Kanter scores, with 2 men on him.

Offense looking good...not sure we can keep it up though. Making difficult shots.

Celtics not defending the 3 ball at all

Ill News · Post #517 » by **Ill News** » Thu Sep 17, 2020 11:48 pm

Ugh, I feel like this is one of those games when I don't have to look at the score until the final five minutes. This is gonna be close throughout.

Smart never sees a shot he doesn't like... Had Tatum in the corner

Again Tatum with a lazy rotation
