Heat (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Round 1 Game #5 5/1/24

Lots of game 5 failures by the team up. Need to finish Miami off

[Vermont Green]

Horford will be fine. The starters will be fine, the bench is the concern. Big opportunity for one or more of Kornet, Tillman, or Queta.

Could be looked at one of two ways...the team up failed, or the team behind played above themselves to stay alive (like we did last ECF). For our sanity lets hope neither occurs tonight

This could very well be Mike Gorman's last game tonight.

This could very well be Mike Gorman's last game tonight. 

That is significant and makes me a bit misty. So, no chance NBCSB can pick up 2nd round, ECF or Finals games?

No.  It's all national games after round 1.

I am confident the Celtics will take care of business and close this out convincingly tonight. They better not overlook the Heat though. If they somehow lose this, they head back to Miami with a chance that some of Butler, Jaquez, and Rozier return and we could end up in a game 7 vs Butler without Porzingis. Close this out tonight.

Jaquez and Rozier might be able to return if this series is extended, but I'm pretty sure Butler is out for this series no matter how long it goes.

The bench needs to step it up. I'd love to see some Q, Tillman, and Oshae... Just for the energy they'd bring. The Heat are going to bring all their energy tonight for 48 minutes and we need to do the same!

Put Horford and Queta out there, then we could have Al-Queta 

[Celtics2021]

This could very well be Mike Gorman's last game tonight. 

A very small part of me hopes we go 6 games for an extra Gorman game, but I know Mike would like to make his last call in Boston than Miami.  So win it for Mike!

Gotta admit, that gave me a chuckle.

Let GO CELTICS!!!!!  No excuses tonight, I don't care if KP isn't playing, we are 14.5 point favorites for a reason, we are a LOT better than this heat team.  Time to put to bed all this bad mojo at home.   Come out in the 1st quarter and dominate them.  Starts on the def end.  Play great team def and everything will come from that.   I want to see great games from JT and JB tonight.  I think it is going to happen.

[celticinorlando]

Cs have not shot well from 3 in the last 3 games. That has to level out soon...esp for Sam Hauser.

We have more talent but it'll go to who plays harder and who can make the breaks!
