Awful defense?


Some of the makes were defended pretty well.

Our defense is bad so they get comfortable. Sky high confidence.

When the refs look at that replay they see Grant's face and understand how you might want to hit it - common foul.

You know what pisses me off? Brogdon talks more than anyone on the team yet he’s been a no show for a lot of these playoff games. I don’t know if it’s coaching or what, but his passing and defense is overrated af. He can get hot but I always felt like he was a frontrunner getting hot when things are going well.

A lot of positives in that quarter even with the Celtics down 6 points. Just need to take care of the ball. Celtics with 5 turnovers

tatum killed us with all of his turnovers. him and JB playing selfishly is why we're down. everything else was decent outside of some **** defense on a few possessions

If you want to see why the Heat are up 3-0, just focus on watching each teams defensive players each possession and ignore the offense. The Heat are literally on their toes, and they are in a constant state of running. The Celtics are flatfooted and shuffle around.

For whatever reason, this team is broken. It’s truly unbelievable. 2 All-NBA players, second best record in the NBA and this is what they do.

I see a team that can't do anything but spam threes and when they dont hit the defense isn't good enough. It simply caught up to them because Miami doesn't beat themselves.

Not liking what I'm seeing at all. Celts are just behind, D is fair, O is weak. They really are a 3pt shooting team and that's it.

Not just him, most of our team are playing with zero confidence. It comes IMO from having no clarity on their plans and no help from Joe on different looks. The players need to step up but they are handicapped.

My mind says we have zero chance tonight and get swept.

My heart hopes they pull this out to make it 1-3

Go home and make it 2-3

Come back and even it up to force a game 7

It’s called low IQ ball. These players don’t have that great court awareness. Rob would be a beast with the right player…not Tatum nor Brown..they got low IQ
