Playing slow isn't always physical, this tends to be a mental thing with the top players on the team. Telegraphing passes, eyes off the ball when catching those passes, trotting to positions vs running, etc...

And lapses like these are why no one trusts these Celtics.
Seen this type of lack of focus for the last five years and keep waiting for things to change.

Against the far depleted talented team like Miami it's probably no big deal but once we start playing More talented teams Joe is a useless **** literally just stands there wondering what the **** is happening..

Meanwhile why are we playing this double big line up which hasn't been good Most of the time
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

I've been saying all year that Tatum is lazy AF with big leads and the rest of the team follows. I was hoping it would change in the playoffs, but clearly it hasn't.

This will not be our year.

Hauser hasn't attempted a shot in the second half. Did the Heat do something to take him out of the game?

Someone higher up, maybe Silver himself, has to step in and stop the Bam menace.

Honestly. As long as team closes out then this may be for the best. Just a bit of a wake up call not to get carried away going into game 2.

How do you allow an 18-2 run? It is just insane.

Stupid play is stupid in a win or loss!

We win if we just hold the ball for 24 seconds every possession.

Keep jacking up threes with a big lead and they go on a 18-2 run

Bam pushes off with his arm fully extended and no foul called.
