That's a good timeout by Joe. Our zone offense is sputtering without KP. Jrue in the middle has been blah.

He's only doubtful to return so if this is a game 6 of the finals he might step out of that tunnel.

Biggest opportunity for Miami to come back are these upcoming Kornet minutes

Why is Brown just letting Herro walk into a three as if he hasn’t already hit enough of them…some of this defense is lazy af

His A/TO ratio may not be great but he’s averaging less than 2 TOs a game in 34 mpg.

Looked a fairly routine ankle sprain

Hurt like a mother **** but a bit of rest and should be fine.

He’s like AD, just seems to attract fluke sprains

Miami is playing their asses off, this game feels much closer than the score indicates.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
