Celtics Defeat Heat, Advance to NBA Finals! Victory Cigar vs MIA 10/27

[Parliament10]

Let's also not forget that this is early in the season where most teams are fresh and healthy.

It's going to be a different story once the teams are around 20 games played.

I really don't like these guys playing over 30 mins, in the RS. It's too long of a Season.
Get those Quality Bench Players in there.

Svi should be playing. He can actually pass too.

Definitely. Go to a 10-Man, and/or have the Deep Bench come in on Back-to-Backs.

White for VC. That saving block against Jimmy was brutal. Jrue was awesome with an almost triple double. Brown redeemed himself. Tatum was fine, minus all those hurried questionable 3’s. Porzingis played his role as well, and bothered shots by Jimmy and other smaller guys inside, minus Bam. Great close game win. We now have two close games wins that we would have lost last year. It will bring confidence to our guys that we can finish.

[Fierce1]

Also, the Heat and the Knicks may not be the most talented teams in the NBA, but they're two of the hardest working teams in the league.

You take them lightly, you lose!

Doris Burke just said the win doesn’t count cos Caleb Martin didn’t play.

He would have helped the Heat, as will whomever they trade for closer to the deadline.

Celtics have a $6.2 million player coming later this year too.

[Tatumfor2]

I voted for the two most boring colours in the Crayola box.

[Fierce1]

I think the rotation will expand in the near future.

Joe just wants to win every game now.

It's understandable considering some Celtic fans want Joe fired.

Joe is coaching to win right now.

[TheMartian]

After 2 games, I think the Cs still need another big man.

If KP or Al is not available then Kornet gets to play a lot.

That's not good.

Is Queta still too raw to see playing time? All these kids need is a chance. Too bad our coach doesn't see it that way.

[ConstableGeneva]

What an odd stat. Porzingis only player in the negative. A -12 in an 8-pt win. Meanwhile, Love only one in the positive (+13) in an 8-pt loss for Heat.

Just boxscore watching. Every starter seemed to have played well enough. Horford and Brissett helped with the boards. Didn't get much from PP and Hauser.

[Celts17Pride]

Our starting unit is great. Our bench is ass. Al looks washed. PP/Hauser are not rotational players on a championship team. Brad needs to work his magic.

Big Al had 10 rebounds the most of any player in the game tonight and was +7.

Pretty good for a washed player

T'is true, and hopefully they can add someone like Plumlee. I also expect Philly to be better if they
ship Harden for Derozan.

[sam_I_am]

I'm still mad about that pick swap.

Agreed. The Derrick White trade was a disaster

If I knew he would shave his head and get rid of the ridiculous hairdo he had last year….I would have given another pick swap. He is very much a dude now.

It’s way early. Mazzulla will start incorporating bench players into the rotation as they go along. Getting off to a good start is the priority right now

Queta is pretty decent. Except for the high Foul count.
I think that he probably should stay on that Two-Way, for this year. And, Start up his NBA contract, next year?

[Celts17Pride]

Honestly my biggest disappointment today was that the Celtics activated Davison and deactivated Queta. I was looking forward to see what Queta could do with Bam tonight. Maybe later in the year

[PierceFan4ever]

Horford looks very old out there lol. A little concerning. I feel like PP and Hauser are rushing at times offensively. They need to slow it down and be patient

Celtics can’t play sloppy against the heat and warriors. Those are the 2 teams that kill us the most with turnovers

That Grant TPE can actually be made as late as the Start of next Season. -- They may hold onto it.
I think that we actually have who we need, for now. Just that Queta needs to really practice limiting those Fouls.

I noticed that, too. -- Why the heck did they Activate another Ballhandler?
We need Queta actually getting some time with the Boston group.

Celtics are over the 2nd apron and it gets much tougher next year. They will use it this year

I prefer the hair.

Heat Without Martleton (Tm).
