For the Celts to beat this Heat team, I think the Celts must at least match the Heat's 3-point production.

Going to the game tonight. First I've felt like I don't want to wear my Celtics gear.

Let's see,

Miami's 2nd ranked offense going against Boston's 26th ranked defense.
Boston's 21st ranked offense going against Miami's 1st ranked defense.

Game in Miami.

What is there to worry about?

Looking forward to Celtics RealGM posters desperately running back to the Jayson Tatum Bandwagon after he drops 40+ on the Heat tonight in a Celtics win.

Don't ever change! :lol:

Forget about Tatum dropping 40 the way he's playing. And if he tries, that's worse for the team.

The player who is likely to drop 40 is Tyler Herro. His eyes light up whenever he sees the Celtics.

He shouldn't be immune to criticism. He actually should be held to a higher standard since he's supposed to be the franchise player.

It's okay to praise him when he does well. It's also okay to point out his flaws and expect more from him when he stinks. Fans can do both.

I'm talking about the let's trade Tatum posters. Of course it's fair to criticize any player when he is playing poorly. Tatum is off to a slow start and not playing well at the moment. Doesn't mean the Celtics should be looking to move him. That's just ridiculous.

Is this team instructed NOT to go under screens? Watching the Magic highlights, they just go over everything and give up easy buckets and drives.

Anyway, knowing this team, they'll actually make tonights game close and suck us all back in.

Pretty sure the season unofficially ended a couple days when they had the earliest players only meeting in NBA history lol.

Not really expecting a win. But I wanna see how we respond to Miami's physicality. Will we compete or will we whine and not get back on D? Will we put up a fight or will we crumble at the first sign that things aren't going our way?
