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

Can’t give crowder wide open looks....he’s been really good shooting lately

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

He IS new at this. A vet, but he hasn’t played NBA playoff basketball at this level before. Hopefully he makes some adjustments and finds his way. We need him.

No one knows except that he'll be leaving the bubble anyway when his son is born within the next couple weeks. So even if he healthy, probably not seeing him til like Game 7 at best is my expectation. Realistically I think we don't see him til next year, this team is just absolutely brutal with public injury timelines, either by choice or by ineptitude.

After All the absolute crap I see Hayward get on this board throughout the year ..... Kemba doesn't bring all the other things Hayward brings when he has a bad shooting game....

We Need Kemba to step up in a big way and soon...

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.


Maybe. Or maybe your star player being neutralized for 2 straight series says more about him then it would about the opposition game plan.

He needs to break through. Its not even a debate.

If the game is close and Kemba keeps sucking you have to consider playing Wanamaker over him down the stretch.

Kemba shouldn’t be having this many issues on offense again with the way they’re guarding him. He’s either hurt or completely in his own head right now

If hayward was on the floor it would free Kemba up more.

I hope he is able to go thursday.

Kemba needs to sit if he cant score. Cause he aint defending **** out there

I could live with defensive shortcomings if he at least gave us 15-20 pts.

Starters in the defense was good. Brads bench lineup opened up the floodgates unfortunately.

I'm just playing. Celtics just gotta hit their own shots and really this is a non contest.

Heat got 10 points on horrigle interior defense that I dont expect to continue.

I agree they usually are but Steven's saying he'll be back this series seems like a pretty good indication. Usually they're very wishy-washy with injury updates.

Jae is the one guy in particular that it is inexcusable we are letting him knock down open 3s.

Sooner or later we will have to put someone else on Dragic. If Kemba doesn't let him go off, we would be in the midst of a blowout now, he was looking like Doncic out there...

Put kemba on crowder. Dude has no post game. Just threes. Stuck to him. You can leave nun iggy and bam open for three. Career speaking you can leave butler too. Need better defense on dragic

Brad won't though... Spo was running circles around him in the second quarter. And why Brad never takes timeouts, you'll never know.

Our guys having whiplash going from Toronto's offense to these Heat **** running around half court like chickens with their heads cut off. We'll settle down soon enough. Can't continue to give up these open threes and cuts to the basket.

My guess is game 4 next Monday and it’s only a guess....puts him at 5 weeks
