It wasn't fun.

Too many turnovers for the Celtics. Just awful turnovers, lazy turnover and bad pass turnovers. There was a lack of "sense of urgency" for the Celtics. 3 point shots were terrible for the Celtics: Smart 1 of 8, Hayward 2 of 6, Brown 4 of 7, Tatum 7 of 11, & Walker 3 of 8. Tatum did not score a point in the first half, not a point. A 20-year-old kid named Taylor Herro scores 37 points for Miami. He couldn't be stopped. Celtics screwed the pooch. 1-3

Haven’t watched one game. It’s the 3 on 3 league. All they do is shoot threes. Such a horrible product. Most players have no guts. They pack it in. The crazy money is guaranteed.

I take it you don't like NBA basketball. Why do you follow and post in "Celtics/NBA" thread? Maybe you are like me, can't sleep. Enjoy.

I realize that now.

I didn't realize Brad was on the court turning over the ball constantly. That's the reason they're losing. Not that he's coaching great or anything, but he's not even close to the reason they're losing. He can't just mind-force his players into not committing turnovers.

Adebayo looks to be ok for game 5


Hopefully his performance takes a dip because he’s a killer

Sure is. I’d like to see what he can do against Anthony Davis

lakers obviously have the 2 best players in the series but Jimmy Butler is kinda close (possibly top 10 if you factor in everything about his game) and the heat are MILES deeper

I’d lean lakers because the superstar advantage and it’s a superstar league but honestly this heat team reminds me a little bit of the Pistons from back in the day (not the bad boys, the Billups-led one). It’s not an exact comparison but it’s the same energy. They’re just loaded with solid ball players and they’ve got their big defensive nightmare anchoring everything

My wife and I were just discussing this, agreeing that the Heat are a very likeable team, they have worked like a machine in the bubble.

Superstars get the calls and LeBrons the biggest superstar in the league unfortunately

Sunday is going to be a thriller. Get your popcorn ready.

So hyped for tonight.

Brad Stevens should be very nervous

Some Celtics fans seem very hypocritical because Ray Allen even to this day gets hate from the fanbase. Because he left for the heat at the end of his contract compared to Doc Rivers who outright admitted he quit on the team when he was still under contract Doc Rivers admits he 'walked away' from Boston Celtics.

Big difference between the two - Allen left Boston and signed with Miami who had just beaten Boston in the Eastern Final the season before. This was no different than Damon or Ellsbury signing with the freaking Yankees. Boston won only 62 games total in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons and everybody knew that Rivers was done in Boston. - and the Celtics even got a 2015 1st round pick ( Boston picked R.J. Hunter 28th overall ) from the Clippers.

I’d move Hayward if they could add him into a deal for a reliable big. Would entertain Smart, too, but would depend on return.

Don’t care if they make a coaching change either.

 

[JRull86]

They aren't changing coaches, especially for the insanely overrated Doc Rivers IMO. They literally just signed Stevens to an extension like a month ago, he has at a minimum 1-2 more years here even without a championship/finals appearance.
