What are we doing here lol

Tatum 18/3/2 on 12 shots, +12
Jaylen 21/5/1 on 15 shots, -4

Plus minus doesn’t matter for a half, but I’m not sure what you saw?

We took their best punch I think, and they are still losing at the half.

Too close

Holiday on offense has been bad. Near the rim he's not close on what seem to be Pretty simple shots.

Clearly the Celtics need to guard the 3. Makes no sense. Coaching staff asleep at the wheel the last 2 days.

That's why he got 300m.

All that hard work for Miami and JB just hit them with a heat wave.

He's a career 36% shooter from deep which is pretty much what you'd expect from a career 72% free throw shooter.

I can't even believe that.

You mean getting the steal to ensure the Heat don’t get another chance in the half.

3 of 4 ECF losses last season were when Heat limited our 3-pt attempts. They're doing it again today. Coupled with Cs allowing so many 3-pt attempts. Not a good recipe.

Hes the one that stole the ball in the first place though. Prevented the Heat from getting a shot, I’ll take it.


+16 highest on the team.

Jb finding some much needed offense that was **** awesome.

Somehow played decent offense and put up 61. Defensively we need to go to another level way too many open looks. Good job forcing TOs tho.

Let’s see what our killer instinct is like in the second half shall we.

Yup. This is the playoffs, they talked all season about protecting home court, they better show it and take care of business. So far I’ve seen nothing from Mazzulla coaching these 2 games.

Miami is just playing above their capability.

I didn't see anything different from the Celtic defense.
