I knew the Celtics weren’t winning this game. They came out with poor energy from the Jump. That’s why an early timeout was called. They keep playing like this, they’re a first round and out team

Strus is being treated like the defensive player of the decade.

The Jay’s and Smart weren’t good enough in crunch time. The Heat hard trapped Tatum, and he is bad from three tonight. Jaylen is 1-7 in crunch time, and Smart just hasn’t played like he has been.

JT forcing that. As good as this unit has been, we still have no clue how to close out a game! They panic and always go back to ISO ball smh

Nauseating game
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

How are we losing to the Heat?

Well at least we got a taste of what it's like in the postseason, without Rob, in close games.

This is why I wanted more close games instead of blowout wins which while fun don't teach us anything.

James Harden gets that call.

Refs got in Tatum's head today..they gave him nothing.

In the last 5 minutes, every single drive by the Celtics with Heat making contact has been a no-call or now a call against the Celtics. It's BS

Not as troubling as Tatum never focusing on the game.
