Only against the Raptors. No way they lay an egg in the third. Our starters clearly are better.

Agreed. We're not going anywhere with Kemba.

We need him to hit shots. We need it.

Heat are too good from 3 for us to grind it out on defense like the Craptors. No Siakam to wet his pants every single play and let us win a game 7 shooting what 25% from 3 and 70% from the FT line?

Nope, need to be a real NBA offense now. We need an all-star PG even if he is just more of a lesser all-star. We need it.

Its Brad. You will absolutely get Semi minutes and you better enjoy them! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nah, he usually reserves those scrub minutes end of 1st/start of 2nd. Unless someone gets in foul trouble, we'll see a 7-man rotation in the 2nd half.

Calling Semi starting the 3rd quarter right now! :wink: :D

JT awesome - needs more shots
BW - EXCELLENT - need to give him Kemba’s minutes if this keeps up
JB - waking up at the end
Marcus - made a bunch of 3s, but also gave back about 10 points wasting possessions in Kobe mode & some bad passes
Kemba - abysmal YET AGAIN - either he has forgotten how to play or it is his mother **** knee again - and they are keeping it hush hush. And they are abusing him on D as expected.

Miami is a very good team
Dragic has been outstanding
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

27% in one quarter. 68% in the other.

Not sure how we survived that 68% but we are not surviving another one of those. Defense has to tighten up.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

Maybe Kemba just doesn't have it?? I mean, its 4 games and counting now... when does a trend become the norm?

No, Pretty sure no later than game 3 if I had to put money on it.

If Kemba can't score, he needs to make up for it by being a defensive pest. Make life tougher for Dragic, man.

It could be worse.

We need to run some plays to get Kemba some easy looks. He is playing worse than Wanamaker at this point yet making 30x his salary.

Good thing we have a legit stud in tatum bc undersized all star point guards can only take u so far in the post season. Even being schemed out the game kemba has to hit the open ones and I think he’ll get on soon

We better attack Robinson and Herro everytime. Robinson has 3 fouls, and if they are both in, we better attack them, and make them unplayable like what they do with Kemba.

He is being gameplanned for and he is a little too eager to defer to his team. We need a little more uconn kemba at times.

Honestly it's easy to point to Walker, as the main issue, It's no question an issue but the main.problem is the defense. Heat shooting over 50% from three and Celtics almost gave up nearly 40 points that quarter.
