Kanter's been playing his tail off, running hard down the court every trip. Big credit to his sitting all that time and then coming in and giving us big minutes right now.

I can always tell if Wanamaker threes will go in based on how his feet slide. Hard to explain but I can always tell lol

I feel like BOTH the Celtics and Heat are playing about 200% above their heads at the same time haha.

I mean statistically at least you do miss some open shots haha.

It’s obvious these guys have been hanging out in the Florida sun instead of Boston lol

Good minutes from Kanter. Nice adjustment by Steven's. They cannot defend him in the paint. Make them defend you.

Tatum looks disengaged. On offense it seems like a good thing, because he doesn't try to overdo stuff, but on defense he is horrible.

Tatum needs to get rid of even more ISOs to fully unleash the Celtics offense.

Kanter not use to playing more than 3mins a game. Give him a break...In all seriousness love what I'm seeing from him so far.

We had several careless turnovers to start the game, but seem to have cleaned that up lately.

It takes literally a second of looking away from Herro/Robinson and they get free.

Feels like we've played like hot garbagé but hitting shots and can't argue with the lead.

I love that we have the lead. I like the offense. I hate our defense. We’re getting lucky. Transition d has been bad and we’re not staying connected on their shooters. Tatum has just missed Herro twice in a row and has been late in transition multiple times because of hopeless offensive rebound tries and complaining about ****.

We need to tighten this **** or they’re gonna come back on us.
