Celtics should stay away from hunting for mismatches against the Heat. At least not as often as they are right now.

Scal said the Heat foul on every possession.

Maybe that's Spo's secret sauce.

I would’ve called time after the 8-0 run. Celtics getting bailed out by the whistle, playing no defense and haven’t generated any good looks on offense

Now there’s a random timeout. I really don’t get the mindset there

We haven't played well the last 5 minutes or so. Can't carry that over into the 2nd half. Finish the Q strong.

Option 1:
Beat the piss out of them, so that the Deep Bench can finish this Game.

Option 2:
Get Tillman in there, for some stints. Horford and Kornet may not hold for the whole Game.

They've been hunting Herro all game and it's worked for the most part.

Ain't no way we losing this game.

But it getting close would be just as unacceptable.

Length trumps girth in this situation.

Bam loves those jumpers, so Korny being 7-1 makes it tougher to see the rim, if you're Bam.

Honestly I'd be more worried about this run if we weren't getting to the line at will. We're not one and done on threes

I’m old enough to remember when they blew a 30 point lead to the Hawks reserves.
