Kemba is **** awful. Just get him out and bring Tatum in to finish the last 17 minutes. Can't even beat Adebayo off the dribble, can't get into the paint, can't shoot, can't defend. What else can't he do? Stay tuned.

I seriously can't understand why Smart is forcing so many 3s tonight and why we keep leaving Crowder open

Ugh, after taking that lead, we come up with three straight turnovers.

These two teams are evenly matched, man.

Kemba, turning it over is one thing. Sitting on your butt clapping while Miami runs a 4-on-2 break the other way is quite another.


Fortunately Wanamaker breaks it up.

Kemba is literally giving the ball up as the shot clock winds down like he does NOT want the ball. It's amazing.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Smart is infuriating to watch on the offensive end. Stop chucking 3s

Kemba is looking off himself and forcing Smart to play the Kemba role...

this is bad.

He has to have re hurt his knee.

It's the only possible reason.

Walker has Duncan Robinson on him. He sees Bam and Butler are in the paint waiting for him if he drives in. What should Kemba do? Do a razzle dazzle on Duncan Robinson or drive into the paint with 2 Heat players waiting to block him? Of course Kemba drives in recklessly and gets blocked leading to a fast break. What kind of decision making is that????

Can the Celtics stay with Crowder. Dude seems to be wide open on every play.

Get Kemba out of this team. Get a player who is not a shrinking violet.

What a horrendous display. Marcus had JB wide open under the basket and took a horrible three. Kemba dribbling the air out of the ball.

Jaylen Brown hasn't touched the ballin about 4 minutes. Brad Stevens literally uses this kid like he uses Semi Ojeleye. This is sickening.

Brad needs to go away from switching Kemba onto Bam. It's just not working, Bam's too mobile and big for Kemba to blow past.

Yup, keeps giving it to Smart. It's very strange.
