[Down 2-0, Do You Believe?] Updated: Down 3-1...How 'bout now?

[Phantom255x]

Goes without saying, the next few games will tell us a lot about this team. The biggest thing it'll tell us is whether this team is mentally tough. I do like that it seems they are emotional in the locker room and care, but on the other hand maybe they've imploded for good. We'll see, what do you guys think?

Game 3 will no doubt be critical. At this point, one game at a time I guess.

Also maybe Hayward could return in either Game 3 or Game 4, and no matter what you feel about him and his injury, you can't be telling me he'd be worse than Ojeyele off the bench (ugh).

The only thing I can do is believe. Why watch otherwise?

Overreactions and burn the team down is a bit much when our two young budding stars are 22 and 23....

Now people want Stevens gone? Seriously..would love to go back to 2004 with Sox down 3-0 and here what they wanted to do with Francona- That team was dead in the water

One game at a time..I have seen come crazy turnarounds before...Let’s win the next one..I believe

[wiley]

yes of course....and ship jumpers lose a share of joy in the final glory!

I remember we did it in 2017, though it helped Rondo got hurt. That was against a Jimmy Butler team too lol.

Absolutely. Ain't over till the fat lady sings.



We got 2 more losses before the wrist slitting can begin for real

If folks want to fire Stevens after 2 losses, I imagine after 4 they will want to fire Danny Ainge, trade Tatum and Brown, and have Wyc and Co sell the team

Absolutely disgusted about how it goes... But I still believe we can win.
A lot of negativity on posting here and a lot of negativity, lack of matirity also on our team. Also incredible partial whistle. Bad choice of Brad. Crowder and Dragic incredibly at their carreer pic during this playoffs. This led us to choke this two games. But with all this negativs things we were still in possibilty to close both games... They won it only with momentum and will...
The buble life and competition has given the Heat an incredible momentum. 10-1 now... Everything is going on their side. Clutch all time with many different players... You know this can still turn, but we need to give evtgh next 2 games

I can see reason of some reproach ag Brad or this team... But man don't forget what the expectetions were for this season... Don't forget the level of our bench (wich will improve). And don't forget it's not over. This strange decision not training tomorow may have good consequences; if all the players and CBS find the key to give more agressivity and maturity in the game. Remember we were not real contender. We are like Heat, an outsider that have a bg chance. Focus on what we controll. Give everything.
Be 100% the next 5 games. Hope the refs will be a little better... And we can still do it. This bubles lead to so much strange and crazy things... Even at 3-0 I would still have a little hope.

[blink]

of course I still believe.  When you saw the previous two series you have to still believe.  Heat are playing well, no doubt.
Win game 3 and the pressure shifts back to the Heat.  Toronto was down 2-0 to us and they pushed it back to 2-2.  No reason we can't.
But we need to play with intensity, effort and focus for 48 minutes.

TP for the thread!!

My initial prediction was that we’d fall behind 0-2, then win four in a row.  I’m wavering, but I’ll stick with that.

At what point did Hayward return in your prediction?

[Somebody]

Sure I do , we're winning banner 18 this season

[gouki88]

I've believed this far, still believe now. This team can take a punch

[PhoSita]

I believe the Heat are the better team.

I believe this will be an important step in this team's growth.
