Celtics (1-1) at Heat (1-1) Round 1 Game #3 4/27/24

[CelticSooner]

Why are they trying to beat Miami off the dribble? We aren’t the Suns! Move the ball! This offensive strategy is dumb.

[Atzar]

Teams look horrible.  I'd feel bad for the people who paid to see this in person if they weren't mostly Heat fans. 

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

It's pathetic how much we struggle to score despite the amount of talent on our roster.

miami is shooting terrible and we are not capitalizing i hate these games

zero offense

[SCeltic34]

Honestly we don't look ready to play.  This offensive performance is pathetic.

[makaveli]

so, just more of one on one offense...this is not landing us another banner

[Who]

Horford air balls a 3.

Just imagine Hauser shooting that 3 instead of Horford.

Double big nonsense.

[smicker16]

Is the adjustment Joe made to play Kornet over Hauser? That is insane

[Phantom255x]

Literally like Game 7 last year. Not capitalizing on Miami's own ineptitude early. Surely it won't come back to bite us!

[Goldstar88]

I like that they are driving more. Wish they would hunt Herro and Robinson more, though. Those guys can’t stop anyone.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

why are we playing two bigs?

is kornet and Al supposed to be playing like the spurs twin towers duncan and the admiral??

[celticinorlando]

Joe’s rotations make zero sense. Two bigs are pointless

[Who]

If we are going to play double big, can we at least play Tillman instead of Kornet?

Tillman is the better defender in space, better defender on the perimeter, better defender in the PnR, better defender on switches, better defender closing out on shooters, better defender in transition. These are all the key areas to slowing down Miami's limited offense. Instead Mazzula plays Kornet who empowers MIA's limited offense.

Tillman is also the better man defender option on Bam.

Joe’s rotations make zero sense. Two bigs are pointless

INSANITY

[Atzar]

Pritchard three is one of the first shots I've liked all night.

[SCeltic34]

Horford air balls a 3.

Just imagine Hauser shooting that 3 instead of Horford.

Double big nonsense.

Mazzula special.  No reason to continue a double big lineup.  Especially against a Heat team that lacks size.  Even if it ends up working, it's still a bad coaching decision.
