Game Threads / Re: Heat (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) Round 1 Game #2 4/24/24

What bothers me as much as anything is the lack of push-back when there is a confrontation on the court.

Scooby mentioned a couple,
Draymond Green during finals taunting Tatum with no response.
Draymond Green during finals walking into the middle of our huddle during a timeout.
"Oh well, that's just Dray, he always like that, he cool." Of course, Cedric Maxwell was the only Celtic to come back on Green.
Maybe the worst Celtic villain since John Y. Brown, Kyrie Irving, walks around the Boston Garden blowing incense to "purify" the place.
Then after the game and a win over the Celts, Irving makes a special trip back out to the center circle to step on our hallowed logo, designed by Red's brother, no less to show his disdain for the franchise he damaged.
Caleb Martin makes what should have been called a flagrant, dirty foul knocking Tatum down hard and somehow Jayson thinks acting cool about it is the best way to handle it. "They'll know better next time, I'll really be non-chalant then. I might even just run back on defense to show how little I care".
All three of these opponents should have been knocked on their ass at some point by a Celtics player.

Can you imagine .......... how Garnett, Posey, Bird, Max, DJ, Cowens, Silas, Russell, Satch, Heinhson would have responded ?

This is must-win game for the Celtics.

I wouldn't characterize this as a "must-win" game for the C's.  The C's can definitely win even if they somehow fall down 2-1 in the series.  I'd characterize losing two games in a row against a depleted and inferior Miami team as unacceptable, however.

I'm wondering what adjustments Joe will make for game 3.  Game 2 was atrocious.

Agreed. Not a "must win".

It would be laughably sad if they lost though.

Bol Bol is in the rotation today with Grayson Allen out injured. They are going with a double big lineup with Bol Bol next to Nurkic. This might be the slowest least mobile big man duo in the league. Wolves are playing Naz Reid next to Gobert.

Polk at 37?!? Why… ugh

Who did you want them to take at that spot for a WR? I’m not familiar with Polk, so I don’t have an opinion on him.

I think he was projected towards the end of round 2 or a 3rd rounder. The should have picked Adanai Mitchell, an OT, or even one of the CB's that slipped out of the first round.

Mitchell does look like a nice prospect. Definitely would have stretched the field for the Pats. 6’2” with a 40” vertical. Ran the 40 in 4.34 secs… Think it’s safe to say that Thornton is a bust for them.

Eric Gordon saving the Suns again. We'll see if his coach benches him for playing too well like he did in Gm 2.

D Booker looks weird on this team. Like there is no structure to the offense and he doesn't know where he fits in. He is just wandering around the court. Dribbling around the court. Wondering what he should be doing. No direction. No structure. Lost.

Such a talented player. I think he is taking a beating (criticism) that is more down to the problems of the team / group than it is because of him. This group has not worked together.

I see some calls for Kawhi to retire. Broken down physically. Can't get through a season. About to turn 33 years old. Maybe he is close to retirement.

Then I look at his contract. He is on the books for another 3 years at $50mil a year. So I guess he is playing 3 more years!

Great defense by Beal until the last moment when he bailed out Ant with a soft reach in foul.
