Heat Decultured! Victory Cigar vs MIA 2/10

[strokerace]

Good win but I just don't understand why JT is on the floor with 5 or 6 minutes left and up 20. We need to find ways to rest him. Why not give some of the bench playing time as well. Also, what happened to Scary Terry?? He is scary for the wrong reasons these days.

Ga Dang It, I remember once upon a time, beat the Heat was a Big event.. 2 freakin Pages?? instead it's like "just a walk in the park"

It's not a Miami thing though, this is just how this forum works. When the Celtics lose to some random tanking team, there's 15 pages about how they won't be able to beat Cleveland or Denver or [insert contender of your liking here], how Tatum can't lead his team nearly as well as some random star that has never gotten past the second round and how Joe Mazzulla is responsible for all of mankind's problems. But when the Celtics win a game it's crickets.

People aren't interested in having basketball discussions, they just want a place to vent and it's cheaper than a therapist I guess.

Well, in my case anyway, I've tried set therapists. And it didn't work, so maybe you're right.

I take back what I said.

Don’t blow up the team.

I can't speak for others but I'm definitely not as checked in on the team this year. I've missed more games than I have in a really long time. I just got tired of watching this team give such a piss poor effort so often. I'm hoping to, like the team, feel more refreshed and ready to go after the all star break.

In general though people do tend to talk more when they are pissed off.

This part above is true
It is the expectations. We expect to win all winnable games. Lowly teams, teams missing starters etc. And the ones that we lose to powerhouses should be close
Every other result leads to the part you wrote above

Winning against this version of the Miami Heat is non news, It is expected. Although the team and JT played great. Even Joe made some adjustments (Scheierman in the first q, KP on the corners and the dunker etc)

The Heat getting Michell didn't make much sense. Him and Rozier aren't a good fit on the same team.

Maybe the plan is to unload Terry in the offseason and stick with Mitchell.

Cheaper and his hobbies don't include over/unders

NBA might just get rid of Terry for them if they uncover those over/unders.

gocelts said it in the KP thread, but I really liked the way they used him tonight. Less forcing the FT line post up and more movement. Got a couple corner 3 attempts, was in the dunker, had some nice cuts. Beautiful stuff.

Went Tatum, then him.
