Game 5: Heat @ Celtics 8:30pm, 5/25/23

Lowry has been good every other game this series, but this is when we need him to step up. Gabe starting and Lowry on the bench has been cute, but we’re gonna need a solid 30 minutes from Kyle tonight.

This also seems very likely.

The lack of ball handling concerns me because of the turnovers that the Celtics forced last game. Really just gonna mean that we’re gonna rely heavily on Jimmy to run the offense.

May need Bam to step up and get his DHO game going.

While I want to finish it tonight, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we came back to Miami for a game 6. My only request is that the Heat keep this game close. If it’s within single digits going into the 4th then you know Jimmy will have a chance to get us to the finish line.

Next man up.. it is what it is..

Keep the game close.. dont throw up wild shots that leads to long rebounds and a fastbreak.. high percentage shots in athletic form make or miss..

Need some point Bam like we saw in the Bucks series. I agree with the idea of keeping Lowry coming off the bench to ensure we have one of Jimmy or Lowry in there to control the game. Get Caleb in the starting lineup for defense (we will miss Gabe's point of attack defense). Might need some serviceable Haywood Highsmith minutes to give Tatum hell.

Next man up mentality drives us. We need Lowry to have a fully locked-in game. He needs to hit pull-up 3s to snuff out any building Boston momentum. I'm confident in this team so long as the refs don't neuter us early by trying to get Bam in foul trouble.

Im perfectly fine with this ending back in Miami. We get one more home game, Mickey gets more money. This game 5 in Boston should have Bam in foul trouble. No way do we get a 10+ free throw advantage this game. If our shooters are hot we should win, if they are cold well back to Miami.

Seen a lot of people on Twitter calling for Highsmith minutes tonight. My main concern with that is that the Celtics will just not guard him. They tried doing that with Caleb by hiding Robert Williams on him and we killed them for it.

Unless you trust Hayward to hit his open threes, I think I’d pass on playing him.

And by hit, I really mean that he’s gotta be willing to get 4 or 5 threes up if he plays like 10 minutes.

Phuk Micky's money. End this tonight.

Would it be crazy to start Caleb at the 1? Keep Lowry on the bench and have Jimmy and Caleb handle the ball, with Bam bringing it up like the old days?
