Seems swell

KP 17 on 9 shots
Jaylen 15 on 8 shots
Tatum 14 on 8 shots
White 12 on 8 shots

Now just need the team to play a bit better defense lol.

Our worst enemy coming up.

I'll be OK with the team scoring 154 on the Heat, even if the defense is subpar tonight. Do not disappoint.

Celtics 20 assists on 27 made baskets

Great offensively. Poor defensively.

Better than looking lost offensively against these guys like we have done for years now.

Embiid getting blown out.

Only 5 turnovers so far, and they were just Jrue and Jaylen forcing some passes, which whatever. Nobody else has any.

I’d say they take great care of the ball as a team, but I’m scared to jinx the second half, so they suck at ball management.

Nice push back after cHeat got it down to 7, encouraging

What do you expect against Aaron Nesmith’s Pacers.

The only time the Heat really picked up any ground was when the Celtics went to the Horford/Kornet lineup. Would be nice to pick up another 3/4 or play Brissett

I’ll say it btw, Hali’s numbers are absolutely inflated by that system lol. He’s an insane offensive player, but it’s true.

They have 95 against the Sixers halfway through the third without him.

That’s not really close to being on pace, but yeah.

Embiid got his 70, season over for him. He might even retire after the regular season.

Denver getting spanked by the Knicks. Gotta ask them how they're doing it.

He could easily do 7 TOV in the second half.

In other news, team-wise:

How about coming out on fire in Q3?
How about it?
And play **** D.
The Heat are awful.

Still an excellent offensive player, needs a lot of work defensively

Gotta hit that, DWhite.

All starters in double figure scoring.
