Celtics (0-2) at Heat (2-0) ECF Game #3 9/19/20

[gouki88]

Just concerned...Erik Spoelstra is undefeated in the playoffs when the Heat is leading a series at 2-0.

But in the last two ECFs the team that has gone up 2-0 has lost

Scal just deconstructed some plays from Game 2 where he showed how Tatum complaining to officials about not getting calls led to Adebayo dunks off the pick and roll because he wasn't in position, wasn't committed to helping Theis and Kemba as the help defender, and even after the Heat had scored he was STILL complaining to the refs! 

The whole complaining to the refs just takes him out of his game. He was lackadaisical the next couple of plays while still chatting to the ref. The guy's not going to change his mind. Suck it up and move on to the next play!

Here's the video of what I was talking about from NBC Sports Boston

This absolutely has to be fixed tonight!!!

Celtics have to play closer to 80s pistons but not cross the line if they want to win tonight

I wish. Unfortunately 80's Pistons style basketball would get you banned for life in today's NBA

Ditto for 90's Knicks or Heat.  Too bad, I really enjoyed physical basketball.

The tossing up bad shots for the and one and not getting the foul has become a bad habit as well.

I'm hopeful they've fixed those for tonight, it's just simple things like that that can turn things around for us. I firmly believe we're the more talented team and we've shown it for the majority of these two games. Unfortunately the Heat have won the last moments, which really are what count in a close game.

Smart has been doing that a lot too

Woo!

Gordon is available!  And heck, Javonte Green could be useful in certain situations, who knows.

If this one follows the typical NBA script, Celtics win tonight fairly easily. Heat are due to lay an egg.

Man I wish we had Bird out there (or even Cornbread!)

[Ogaju]

Romeo out again? He probably needs an off-season to heal up.

[Kuberski33]

A healthy Max was a guy you win with.

LETS GO CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
