Celtics (35-13) at Heat (26-22) Game #49 1/24/23

[radiohead]

Refs with another screw job.  White had all ball.

This is really becoming hard to watch.

GWill drives me nuts with how much he holds the ball. Virtually every time he holds it a second or does a fake, and it kills the movement and allows the defense to catch up.

[slamtheking]

Grant's only got 2 TOs but it seems he should have twice that at least with the way he's throwing crappy passes tonight

[Silas]

PP and Sam 0/5 from 3...not good tonight.

[jpotter33]

20  fouls called already. Just ridiculous incompetence. Two nights in a row with totally brain-dead refs.

Yep.

I know Jae Crowder has fallen out of favor, but one of the things I always liked about his game was his quick decision-making off the catch.  Either drive or shoot as soon as he got the ball.  Rarely ever held it.  He was much more effective driving closeouts than his size or athleticism would suggest, simply because he made his move so quickly.

Would like to see Grant work on that too.  It's an important skill for catch-and-shoot guys, especially for somebody like Grant who is trying to incorporate more driving to round out his game.

I wonder if we'd be better off playing JD Davison rather than Jackson

[slamtheking]

you know up is down and down is up when PP and Hauser are missing 3's but Jackson is hitting them

[Silas]

I wonder if we'd be better off playing JD Davison rather than Jackson

as he sinks a 3.

And followed it up wiht decent defense.  He sure showed me.

[jpotter33]

Good Lord, Kornet. You're over 7 feet tall. How do you miss that kind of bunny?

[Silas]

PP is now hesitant to shoot the 3.

[jpotter33]

So much for Hauser finding his shot last night.

[Atzar]

How in the world do you miss the foul against Pritchard at one end but call one against Kornet at the other?  What the hell?

[SCeltic34]

Bruh WHAT.  That is a clean block.  We are getting screwed on these calls.
