Game 5: Heat @ Celtics 8:30pm, 5/25/23

[AirP.]

Naturally the call is overturned

You don't want this game close, you want a blowout to try to wake up this team, sadly I think Boston has way too much momentum to go with the superior talent, it might be over, they just have to play the games. If Miami loses this series yes, Miami should move Butler to wherever they can get the most for him, send him to Charolotte.

Butler isn't going anywhere. Your boy Bam will be outta here LONG before JB.

My boy? You have me mistaken with someone else, I'd be looking to move him for Embiid this summer if Miami doesn't win a championship. Miami was down to 1 PG and Butler took the night off, it's absolutely blowing my mind the lack of effort I'm seeing from Butler since game 2. I don't remember ever seeing him be like this.

Last 3 games the Celtics got called for 20,24,24 fouls.

Tonight 9 the entire game

The Heat played like crap, but when one team cannot foul, that may have something to do with how they performed.

Spos gotta cook something up before game 6. His defense is giving up wide open 3 after wide open 3 against elite shooters and on the other end we can’t get quality possessions and are working way harder than them to get good shots.

Mazulla is coaching circles around him these last 2

Take Game 6 off. Let’s get ready for Monday.

Lol

Ya, we need our backs against the wall.

[Wiltside]

Their shooters are dialled in now. How many times does Derrick White have to cook us for us to guard this dude on the perimeter?

[gom]

This was a very poor game. Lowry was atrocious. Bam was poor. Jimmy entirely uninspired. Really bad effort all around.

[goodboy]

How many buttery fingers did we do? 56 to's?

[The Dawg]

Butler wasn't aggressive AGAIN. Is he hurt?

All he was doing was pump faking and passing. Very odd.

[MorbidHEAT]

Jimmy’s a fake alpha. Need him to shut the **** up during the press conference and just say that this game is his fault. Then Bam needs to go in and do the same. I don’t care as much about the loss as I do about the effort and lack of urgency. Jimmy was out there like it was the preseason, not even looking at the basket. It was so bad that poor Duncan had to be our best playmaker. Bam will now be known as Bamthony. My man is as clumsy and offensively inefficient (at times) as Joel Anthony.

Saturday's game is a definitely a must...but not giving up. I know we will do this.

[UFAlum88]

Assuming Vincent is back, I assume We start Highsmith at the 4 next to bam and let love back up Bam… similar to what we did in 2H

Highsmith at the 4 and Caleb on the bench? Jimmy and Caleb should be the starting forward.

[Heat3]

Bam 6 TO
Lowry 4 TO, 5pts with a 3 in last min of garbage time

[SerialChiller]

Really poor last 2 games from Spo. Last game he waited too long to bring Jimmy back, and wasted a 2nd timeout to do so among other things. This time he should of started Highsmith, and stuck with that damn zone way, way too much.

Very bad turnover wise, very very bad

We should be guarding White more but it helps that Mazulla has legit NBA talent while we thought we could run the same team back with the corpse of Lowry and our big addition being the corpse of Love. I don't think Spo can make Bam or Jimmy play better. They have to step up themselves. It's on them. Spo can only do so much. He's made some bad rotation mistakes but Bam is missing point blank shots. Jimmy looks uninterested. Strus isn't that good. This team just isn't very good. We can still win this series don't get me wrong. I just don't blame Spo as much. I said this since the summer. This FO failed this team after being 1 shot from the Finals. But that doesn't excuse Bam or Jimmy in this game.

Lowry is 30 millions dollars of nothing.

last two games weren’t Miami heat like

They were if you count what we looked like during the regular season and first playin game

Just about to say the same thing. This is the team I'm used to seeing.
