I'm no Lebron lackey, but he seems awfully low tbh

 

[N o o d l e s]

Herro is out

 

[DangleCity]

Scottie Foster coming to save the Celtics lol

 

[Alicat]

Looks like Tatum was practicing last night

Game plan is simple. Take care of the f***ing ball and don't turn it over.

That's it.

Win tonight or it's over. Short of the entire starting five of Miami going down with injury, they aren't beating this team three times in a row including twice on the road. Same situation they faced in Round 2, but worse because they don't have a potential game 7 at home.

It's night like Saturday that make me pause and question whether this team can truly win a championship yet. Absolute amateur night out there

GOOD.
Pump the cortisone in that knee and go.

Is Smart playing?

Ngl I think it was more smart to have him ice it and be out the rest of the game being that they were down so big most of last game. I appreciate the heart and effort but now they’re at decent risk to lose both games.

Not sure it would have made a difference because that was a pretty f***ing bad roll but I do wonder.

 

[Alicat]

Smart is out w/ a high ankle sprain

 

[Mione134]

Let Marcus rest. It's up to the rest of the boys to STEP UP. White, Pritchard they can get it done.

Ball security is the #1 thing. Don't turn the ball over. Win.

We got this. Believe.

 

[pgm16]

Take care of the ball !!

Ice only slows healing. Unless there was structural damage it's unlikely he made things worse.

They haven't lost 2 in a row since the all star break, no Smart is going to hurt defending their guards but if they can stop the turnovers they're still more talented than Miami. I want to see them make adjustments on defending the screen handoffs though, Strus and Vincent haven't always made them but they are getting a lot of good looks when they run it. Blitz the shooter and turn them into playmakers instead of what they are good at, the C's are athletic enough that they can cheat on defense and still get good contests if their shooters can make plays through the double team

 

[CDJ]

No Marcus will be really tough

 

[McGarnagle]

Why can't anyone on this team play two games in a row without getting hurt

 

[DangleCity]

No Marcus will be really tough

Would it be too much to ask to ask the guy to gut it out? This in and out of the lineup is driving me insane.

It was moreso the coming right back and playing 100 percent for the remainder of the game I was thinking about

 

[DangleCity]

Honestly, in this series. I think Robert Williams is more important to have out there since Thesis has become useless
