BIG 3 there by tatum before the buzzer. Big block by Jrue on Jaquez.

Let's win this in the 4th quarter.

Value the basketball - protect the basketball - move the basketball. Play tough, don't back down - play tenacious. And defend the 3 point line.

We do that, we win.

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

Heat relying on making contested 3s.

They should cool off soon.

As a board we really missed an opportunity to poll on predicting who would be this year's top game thread scapegoat players. Maybe someone did during my board down time.

Awful Q3

And they can’t miss from 3.

JT a couple of #7 TOs also.

Brissett doing the dirty work out there. Heat are just making contested 3 after contested 3. They made 5 that quarter with defenders draped all over their shooters.

Horford, 0-5. But 6 Rebs. 3 Offensive.
Brissett with 5 Rebs, 3 Off.

How can the Celtics be losing to these less talented palookas?

Maybe by holding them to 52 percent 3s?

What about inserting Brissett into the starting lineup?

And more Porzingis!

Jrue has been our best overall player.

Start balling.

We need to trade Pritchard for a larger person.

I like White and Tatum starting the Q together. Best two decision makers.

I think we have more overall Talent than they do, but I think they're a more mentally tough team than we are. They sustain their mental composure more than we do we. We have more times that we have metal lapses and play stupidly.

NBA can’t make consistent calls as it is and they want to add a flopping technical. Ok
