are you being realistic though? they have been good for full games most of the time. i think what you are asking for doesn't happen for any team. this is why you try to get more stars, so someone can step up when other players are off.


I’m not trying to downplay what they all do id just like to experience it one day for my own selfishness hahaha

Hi folks,

A few wrinkles in the first half, but the primary job (respond/get your backside in gear) was achieved, Boston with the lead.

Miami is no joke, love the team and what they have going. The core pieces of what is driving Boston's success can do extraordinary things in this series, and it's going to be stressful but trust the guys to get it done. I do. :)

Hopefully that will be a short spurt rather than a long romp.

bucknersrevenge wrote:Miami doesn't really have any rim protectors beyond Bam. We settled for far too many perimeter shots in the last game. This team really can't defend us if we drive I don't think. I even liked the Kanter minutes. Pound them in the paint and in the mid-range. This is not the game to take 40 3's maybe.


but they have really good defenders who make it tough for you to get there in the first place, exactly like us.

That Kanter-Grant pairing was really, really good for us in the regular season. Didn't think we'd ever see that again.

0.0% to do with Stevens

100% to do with a team not respecting the game.

Up big so they decide to act like it's the final 15 seconds and they're up 30 for the last 2 minutes of the half.

Horrible.

And honestly I'm pissed for Smart, Kemba, Walker, and Kanter who gave it their all and played amazing to earn that 17 point lead.

To have it thrown away because some players on our team are too immature to know the game isn't over with 2 mintues to go before the end of the first half is **** infuriating.

So disrespectful and immature. **** put in the effort when you're playing or sit your ass on the bench.
Ok den

Unfortunately your feelings are justified. I can easily see a 12 to 2 run.

I am just going to expect this game is going to go down to the wire.

Kemba needs to continue to be aggressive. Jaylen needs to hit his open jumpers, and keep up his defensive effort.

That happens, and we got this.
He's tied with Theis @ 3 while Walker and Brown have 2 each. Lets not overstate the assist numbers for Tatum.

What's your gripe with Tatum? I notice you've been badmouthing him every chance you get.
When good Tatum shows up I'll have nothing bad to say.

Missed Smart 3 always equals The opposing team hitting a three on their end.

Like clockwork. Smart takes a dumb three they get a three. That happens countless times.

That flop gets the Lowry seal of approval.
