Hot Sweaty Roller Coaster Ride From Hell! ECF Game 3 Loss 5/21 (MIA 2-1)

OMG that was a lot you guys.

Shockingly atrocious first half and then a rousing comeback in the second half. Both Smart and Tatum went down with injury but came back to save the day. But the day wasn't saved, unfortunately, and in the end the C's took a bad loss.

Credit to JB, he had his ups and downs like everyone but came up huge down the stretch to give us a chance.

Gotta shake it off and stop sucking. We were in this same boat after 3 games vs Milwaukee.

Game 4 Monday, GO C'S!

I don't know if this team was overconfident or has maturity issues but this game was over in the middle of the first. Boston can't dig themselves into a nearly 30-point hole and expect to come back and win.

I had high expectations for this game so I'm pretty disappointed right now. Once again one bad quarter cost this team their second loss in this series and once again the Celtics backs are against the wall.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It's be lame if we all agreed about everything :)

Well, in terms of entertainment that was the wildest game I've seen since maybe the 2007-08 Celtics.

The game was a mess, though. I'm wondering about Smart's and Tatum's injuries, hopefully they'll be fine tomorrow.

No one said it would be easy. On to the next.

Refs low key carried us for a stretch too.

We lost 2 quarters in the series so far......And we lost both games. How is that even possible? Next game is do or die. Enough said. I'm going to sleep.

Jayson Tatum hang your head in shame. One of the most pathetic performances I’ve ever seen by a so called Celtics star. Airballing jumpers, dribbling like some 7 foot dope, throwing awful passes, I could go on and on. Never been more annoyed with one of our players.

how can we possibly play that bad. i didn't even know it was possible to play that bad when they didn't even have butler in the 2nd half. disgraceful performance with all the turnovers & general lack of focus the entire game.

Tatum has no heart.

Brown can't dribble.

As a whole, the team doesn't have enough basketball IQ to win a championship.

This is as far as they are going.

Massive choke.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Did you forget Jimmy Butler missed most of the game?

Tatum needs to learn how to impact the game when the shots aren't falling. He's too talented to have games like this.

Really gross loss to Max Scrub, Kyle Burger King Lowry, and PJ Retirement home Tucker.
