Cs ended up as +17 in the 7 mins. Tatum was on the bench. Wild.
Also, **** Caleb Martin with that bush league hit.

Hauser and Pritch. Loved the team for most reasons but those guys were a spark the entire game.
F Miami. I hope we can end this in 4.

It’s sad the only reason you wrote this was to show disdain for Jaylen.
Be better man.
Let’s keep the game thread about the players. Remember, responding to you is an immediate ban.
Leader of the JB cult, please relax and enjoy the playoffs.
Voted for KP and Tatum because they had the most impact. I also thought White was solid and clutch as usual.
Move on to game 2.

We need to sweep these clowns and put them in the rearview mirror before they hurt someone. They came pretty damn close, way too close to it today.

Joins Pierce, Smart, and Rondo (10x) as the only Celtics players with a playoff triple double, post-Bird.

Why didn't he have a shot attempt in the second half? Did he even play? I don't recall noticing him.

It’s crazy that they pride themselves on being **** and dirty players. Garbage franchise.

Tatum missed a bunch of open threes, but god damn did he control that game. He’s found the weak spots in that heat zone, and it almost always leads to a wide open shot for somebody.

49 attempts from 3. Happy with the w but this team still clearly dies by the 3 point shot. My goodness. 49 out of their 82 attempts. When those shots don’t fall they keep chucking it. This is what concerns me down the road.

Holy hell Fck Miami and Fck Bam. Bunch of dirty aholes
It’s quotes like these that just take the fun out of it. People’s expectations are absurdly ridiculous. It’s a freakin playoff game. Be extremely happy that they were up by 30 and won by 20. I mean, wake up. This exact Miami team still blew out the Bulls last game and went toe to toe with the 76ers with Butler basically MIA. Be a little reasonable and enjoy the moment.

Your man Delon Wright is the only reason we didn’t get to see the deep bench today.
Also I thought the Celtics did a phenomenal job on Bam. Guy made 10 shots and scored 24 points but every single shot was a contested mid range or post shot. He got nothing easy today.
Also Jrue completely eviscerated Herro today. Complete non factor from a former Celtic killer

Relax, after we Win that Trophy; on the beach in Acapulco.
I'm not even sure how serious the guys took the game, it kinda looked like practice... and it's not like I'm not super critical of everything they do, but they just seemed too relaxed.. still won by 20.
Good assessment:

Cause Mazzulla went experimental role and tried the double big lineup out there when we were up 30+
Celtics need to stop going double big whenever they are up big like the Cavs loss. Rotation isn’t there to defend the threes properly in time. Three point attempts should be an emphasis to eliminate when up that big. That’s the only chance they have to ever get back in the game and we gave up 7 threes in a row

I vote for anyone except Brown. I will continue to be a broken record that if they win a championship it will be in spite of Brown, not because of him.

Still heated and confused why this wasn't reviewed.
Caleb was probably going after the rebound initially but as soon as he realized he had no chance at the ball, it was a clear hip check on an airborne player. Definitely NOT a basketball play. You don't turn your back away from the rim going after a rebound.

don't really need to argue this point because it's like I'm making excuses but the truth is this is about absurd expectations. We finished the season with one of the largest point differential in league history, which means we went up big and maintained that better than almost every other team in history! No one wants to see the Celtics stop giving max effort, but it's not realistic, if it was, how has it been so hard for the entire league in its history? Celtics were doing this when the league has been spamming threes that get you back in games easily! Teams get back into it because they hit 3s at crazy clips for a few minutes and then the game is close again, it's not rocket science.
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)

If they win a ship it will be because their shots finally fell but this team dies literally by the 3 point shot.

Ain't worried about the Heat. I am worried that the Celtics continue, year after **** year have trouble closing out games.
