Heat (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) ECF Game #2 9/17/20

[Somebody]

just disgusted right now. 

can blame Kemba for the game one loss for not showing up (amongst others but primarily Kemba) but this game is on Smart primarily (but with plenty of blame to go around).  bad shots and turnovers.  9 TOs  between Smart and Kemba -- team cannot win when it's 2 primary PGs combine for that many TOs

so Tatum gets a pass?  lol He doesn't from me.  He gets stripped every time he drives, 1/3 of the time it is a turnover, 1/3 time he gets a shot up, 1/3 time he almost turns it over and gets caught and we have to rush a bad shot.

14 turnovers between Tatum, Kemba, and Smart lost the game for us.  Jaylen almost shot us back into the game...

If you get physical with Tatum he'll cough it up a few times.  But 9 TO's from your 2 PG's in a playoff game is unacceptable.

Considering how Tatum's on ball load is probably the heaviest on the team a lot of the blame should go to him.

Chairs being thrown?

Watch out for Hayward's ankle.

Is his ire aimed at Tatum or Theis?  He should look in the mirror after this one.  Smart was as poor as any of them.

Sorry for the curse word.

apparently they are still fighting as per Washburn

Its because you have a 17 point lead.  And even 5 point lead with 3min and change to go.  And as Heat raise the temp,  Celts buckle on both ends

Its disgusting

This is good I don’t mind this. No matter what level of sport we played we’ve all been there frustrated after losses, he’ll we’re doing it as fans 

They should have been mad and yelling at halftime and during the 3rd quarter. Bit late now but I want them fired up

This players are so lucky they play pro sports in America. Do this nonsense in soccer and fans will be paying you a visit after the game.

Yikes, team might be imploding now...

Marcus Smart is screaming at someone in the Celtics locker room — or several people. The yelling continues as Smart exits the locker room, swearing.

Considering how much of a culprit he was tonight he has no right

Yeah, Marcus Smart was garbage tonight. It's great that he hit a couple of early 3s, but he had some pretty memorable bad possessions.

Also, not sure what we are saving Hayward for, but if he isn't playing next game, I don't know what to say. The guy has been a complete waste and we needed him tonight. How can you be practicing hard all week, but still refuse to step on the basketball court in a crucial game?

Stevens has lost this team.

Thus far, Heat are the more resilient team. They make more big plays when it matters most, look more confident and, frankly, outhustle us in crunch time. Kemba had a solid bounce-back game, Jaylen hit a couple of 3p in the end (tho not the crucial one); Smart is guarding everybody, but he needs more help there (lots of easy lanes for a guy like Dragic, for instance). JT just seems tired. Didn't demand the ball in the deciding minutes, reluctant to take a 3p for some reason; can't blame him, he is giving his all there, on both sides. I hope Rob will get some time in the next game - Theis does a lot of good things, but we need presence under the rim TL can provide (Kanter had a good stretch today). TO killed us, and not getting the defensive rebound in several possessions late.
Basically, it's win or go home in #3.

I have been waiting for a long time to say this.... Perk needs to really hush up.

Yeah, his turnovers down the stretch and dumb shots were cringeworthy. He needs to have strips torn off him as much as anyone

[footey]

Right now Tatum is the most overrated player in the NBA.

Given reports of stuff being thrown I might actually agree
