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

[Larry for 3]

Tatum needs an attitude adjustment big time, I’ll bet Smart is getting right in his face in the locker room

[yelkao]

Brad is being OUTCOACHED. Does he know he can challenge plays like the KEY block they called on Kemba when tied at 95 and sending Dragic to the FT line? Many lazy passes in this one that Jimmy Butler snagged or deflected. Looks like they want it more. It's disgusting. How do you constantly lose 17 point leads? The 3rd Q the same play over and over again to Bam for uncontested dunks and layups. Sad

He already used up his challenge by that point

Yea. He was forced to use his challenge on an atrocious call early in the 4th. He would have challenged it if he didn’t have to waste it on that dumb play where the ball flew off Herro’s legs and they gave it back to the Heat.

[KrazyLegs]

Celtics deserve to be swept.

What a clown show.

We are going to see what this team is made of in game 3. These games have been close. I think we are missing the garden now and the Celtics seem exhausted after the Toronto series. It's time to sack up guys.

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.

The challenge had already been used on an equally egregious bad call that got overturned. Blame the stupid system that doesn’t reward coaches for getting challenges right

Brad needed 10 challenges tonight.

I want them yelling at each other. I want it to fire them up for game 3. They should be mad at each other for their performances, hopefully they hold each other accountable and leave it all on the floor for game 3.

It also goes back his terrible last shot @ end of regulation 

[hpantazo]

Our only hope is that Hayward returns in game 3 and he's a big enough difference for us to win 4 out of the next 5.

The Heat so far are having one of the most dominant playoff runs in history. Only 1 loss.

Why did Nurse get 47 challenges every game, tho?

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

[scaryjerry]

Go denver!

Yeah I'm all the way in on Jokic.

Right? Love that team

[jpotter33]

Okay, it took me a long time, but now I'm riding on the "Brad Stevens should be on the hot seat" wagon. I tried really hard to defend the man but these third quarter collapses are just inexcusable.

Ditto.  I also don’t think he’s a good influence on the players. Too passive and it rubs off on them.

This. Look at Spo. He's a pretty even-keeled guy, but he absolutely advocates for his players and holds them accountable.

After a really good first series, Brad has really been coached under the table these past two series. Just a complete flop by him, and he just seems to let it run of his shoulders. Frustrating.

[slamtheking]

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...

no pass for Tatum.  not at all.  he's been bad on his drives all playoffs but today Smart gets that fingerpointing today.
