Heat are playing better period. They run stuff every play and get into it fast. That last play by Tatum was totally unacceptable.

Cs are not winning this game or series for that matter.

17 point lead, 37-17 point third down by 7.

Every. ****. Time they do this.

I shouldn't have waken up for this I guess. We were up, I feel like every time I start watching, we start sucking.
Good assessment:

We were up 17 on them. Now down 7, going into the 4th.

It's like doc rivers never left, and we're still waiting for KGs knee to get better, but we know how it all ends.

That was one of the worst quarters I’ve seen this team play. Maybe the worst, considering the situation.

One team really wants to go to the Finals: the Heat


I mean, did you hear Brad's "Wired in the huddle" speeches? He couldn't motivate a Tasmanian Devil.

Yep. Habit of Tatum that he has to shake off.

Our body language is **** awful right now. Do the guys want to go home?

We're being big-boyed by the Heat big time.

You can’t give up 37 pts. Stevens has to be better there.

I rarely blame coach, but what on earth are you doing as a coach? And where the hell is Jaylen Brown?

They are down 7 with a whole quarter left. I understand the Celtics don't have momentum but to say the game is over is just being emotional
