E. CONF. FINALS – Gm 3: Heat (1) @ Celtics (1) – 8:30PM, Sat, May 21, 2022

[Ticket]

The only reason why I’m not calling the series yet is Spoelstra.

If they steal one of the next two, it’s game on again.

Nevertheless still riding high atm

Either Heat gamesmanship or Lowry really is attempting to get back. Still have to wonder how effective he can be with a bum leg.

A hobbled Lowry and Tucker would not be good for Miami, but sure.

Prior to last game, their only losses came when he played vs the Sixers (and ATL game when he got the injury). Might have come back too soon then. Hamstrings are tricky. Lucky JB is like half Lowry's age and his body recovers quicker.

He looked really bad against the sixers in those games definitely not himself.

Low key gabe Vincent has been the second best heat player so far in our series. I thought spo mentioned Lowry still isn’t quite ready yet. Maybe game 4 but I doubt game 3.

This is the stuff. Almost everyone back.

Sucks for Sam, but he can make his mark in the Finals.

Will get full report in next hour.

**** Hauser still out? Miami have zero excuses not winning this series, we’re doing a wonderful job playing as we are without him.

C's never won back-to-back games vs. the Bucks until 6 & 7. It would be super if they could do it in games 2 & 3 this time around. Hey, I'm not greedy, but 2 & 3 & 4 would be fine too.

Same here. Spo is a very good coach. The Heat play hard for 48 minutes. Celtics have to match that and can't take plays off. You do that and you go to the finals.

[exculpatory]

I agree we are the better team.
And we could indeed win the next 3 & finish this by Monday.

HOW THE **** EVER:

1) There were numerous games during the RS, Games 3 & 5 during the Bucks series & Game 1 Q3 VS the Heat where we let down our guard, starting turning it over, stopped moving the ball settling for repeated low yield ISOs, & got lazy on D - AND GAVE AWAY MOTHER **** GAMES THAT WERE OURS!

2) SPO is a great coach who makes great adjustments, there is a reason the Heat finished as the 1 seed & they have a very good team capable of kicking our asses if we play the wrong way - even at the Garden.

THEREFORE, COME OUT OF THE GATE AS IF WE ARE DOWN 0-2, do NOT make the mistakes described above, & be HUNGRY LIKE THE **** WOLF!

We have a phenomenal opportunity to get #18. DO NOT BLOW IT.

Spo is good enough to win 1 game on his own. I respect him that much..... He already won that game though. A coach can only do so much when the other team is just better.

Stauskas? STAUSKAS!?!

Game 3 at home. This is where the green team needs to step up and take control of the series.

[NYCelticsfan136]

They better bring that same energy for game 3. Can’t have a letdown .

I can't imagine them coming out relaxed next game. I'd be shocked.

This comment from a Heat fan on the GB, lmao:

don't think Rob and Horford are much better than theis and kanter ... it is it's just that Boston defense works a lot better and bam was not as corrupted as he is now... he still knew he was not an undersized Center but nimble power forward

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2194671&p=99184680#p99184680

Same guy who said the celtics have a mental block/trauma for 5 years after that block by bam on tatum. Hahahaha

They always do that. Everyone has hamstring issues, but end up playing. This is a lame attempt to have the celtics relax. I expect them all to play. Even Lowry. If he does play, we should just target him from the get go. Even harrass him bringing up the ball. My only problem with lowry, is just he flops too much, and would probably get some charging fouls against tatum. If we win game 3, i’m sticking to celtics in 5.

Need to. I don’t if we can afford another 7 game series against a likely rested warriors team. Celtics need to be all business here.
