Just have to keep Dragic in check


Dragic is the key. Stop him, you stop the Heat.

Been saying that all night. Glad someone is listening

I expect Butler to be a lot more aggressive this quarter

I like the energy in these threads when we are winning. It's nice to go a page without a player being called worthless or a scrub.

So far a masterful performance from Tatum.

All the side step and open from 3 shots I was praying for him to do against the Raptors he's doing in game 1.

I assume if we can pull this out in game 2 Spo will concede he has to double Tatum as the adjustment and get the ball out of his hands or at least take away the side step one on one 3 pointer option that is his trademark move.

That said, Kemba looks really bad... not just missing shots. Just not even close or wanting to take any shots. He has to have re-aggravated his knee injury. Hasn't looked like himself since game 5 of the Raps series.

I'll be nice and allow them to lose by 1. I think we can survive that.

More threes the better for Tatum.. Should be closer to 10+ then 5 a game.

Terrific close for a quarter. Now we have to put them away

The key is to be tied at the half, so it's like the 1st quarter of a 2-quarter game.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I actually think you have figured it out! :D :D :D :D :D

Shame on all of the Marcus Smart haters in here. You plebs don't realize how good he is unless he's scoring. Well, here you go - here are some buckets. I hope you all stub your big toe when you wake up tomorrow morning.

I love that it came out of a double trap on Kemba and Grant made them pay.

We need Hayward

That was an unexpected end to the quarter and I love it.

I really think we should be fine if we play our game.

Close it out boys.

Did it at the end of the first as well. Went too early. Might have been the 2nd not sure... but it happened.

He had an open look with like 30 seconds left. I mean, it worked out, but it was such a Terry Rozier move. Turn down the open look and the 2-for-1, then dribble it and hit a ridiculous and-1 so you look like a hero. Rozier would have hit the three at the end of the quarter too somehow.

I’m kinda starting to take it for granted. Glad you keep pointing it out.
