Another shocking stat last night is our first 5 FT attempts are all and1s free throws. 3 FT attempts only in the first half :lol:

I can't remember a game this one-sided since Game 6 Lakers vs Kings 2002. League is making sure a Celtic player would win the Larry Bird MVP award.

If the same calls happen in Game 4. I will quit watching and cancel my League pass for real :banghead: .

I didnt even realize this… i wonder if theres something going on between Grant and Tatum.. that was no friendly push..


PJ sold it as he should in such a one sided game, but the velocity of a guy running full speed on defense then receiving a top tier push off is being understated. Some peeps never played sports.

I actually kind of like Grant. I think he let's Tatum know what Tatum doesn't want to hear a lot of the time.

I think It was just Tatum there making sure Grant does not get a tech so he push him off.

With all the calls they were getting last night, this Grant Williams dude still has the audacity to whine.

And that's the biggest issue I see here. It was a terribly one sided game and the Boston players ares still complaining. Like Bam shot one free throw with all his attempts coming so close to the basket. On the other side, Bam holds his spot, hands up, while being driven in to and its free throws for Tatum. It's too much.

Truly special. Defensive playmaking is the core of how this team wins. Every possession we need to be hungry for that ball

Bam played 42 minutes last night. That's the most minutes he's had that I can recall. Maybe 2020 playoffs he played that many in a game?

Yeah, we need another Bam to come in and anchor the defense. That was supposed to be Precious I guess.

We need to draft another defensive gem to cover for him and PJ.

We also need a pass first point guard to back up Lowry.. Bam needs a point guard to set him up.. like i said in the game thread… dragic did that for him and lowry does that for him.. maybe bring back dragic on the minimum..

He's been mentioned a few times in the draft thread, but Kennendy Chandler from Tennessee seems like a logical choice and good fit for that type of role.

Udonis Haslem is theoretically supposed to be able to fill the role of defensive anchor for a couple of minutes per game. He obviously isn’t able to seeing that he only played 83 minutes this season, with 20 of those minutes being the last game of the regular season. 0 minutes in the postseason. Every spot on the roster matters. I got much respect for the guy, but he is no longer a player. It’s past time to retire and open that roster spot up for the Heat scouting team to get some more work done.

UD’s spot is a non-factor in the grand scheme of playoff minutes. Markieff Morris is sitting there perfectly healthy and Spo doesn’t play him, makes no sense to even worry about the 15th man.
