I was at the game. A very satisfying experience compared to my last Celtics Heat contest - Game 7 last spring. Really enjoyed the send-off the crowd gave Miami tonight. Personally I was hoping for a 50 point blowout and Joe leaving the starters in till the end, but it turned out great just the same.
D. White just keeps turning it on. I hope they can keep him here long term. If he wants to test the market a year from now, he's gonna get paid.
The Heat shot 3 for 29 from 3 - what's that - 11%? The one game they won had them shooting over 50% and we didn't bother to guard them. We guarded them tonight and they sucked.
My one takeaway was that Kornet was terrific. Adabayo seemed to have no problem scoring on Al. But I don't think he scored one time on Kornet. I certainly can't remember him doing it. Luke's not exactly known for his defense, but Adabayo was a non-factor when Kornet guarded him.
We are going to miss him if/when he signs elsewhere for next season. I hope he gets a decent amount of minutes in the next series. We always play well with him on the court. We'll need Porzingis for either Milwaukee or whoever comes out of the West (should we make the Finals) but we'll be fine with Luke for the next round anyway.
