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

Only the Celtics could win 3 out of 4 quarter but somehow lose the game.

The truth is, championship teams don't blow big leads this often. Clippers are out for a reason.

Also, this team for some reason sucks in the 3rd quarter. It's inexplicable

[BringToughnessBack]

Well, we need to win 4 of 5 now....

[cltc5]

Trash

[jpotter33]

Just pitiful effort and execution down the stretch. Crap decision-making and effort from our soft coach all the way down the roster.

The play the last two games has really made it hard to root for these guys. Watching them consistently outwork our guys is disgusting, as well as these baffling rotation decisions and futility by Brad to figure out how to deal with this zone.

The men vs the boys.

[Surferdad]

Well, in the words of Belichick, 'we got outplayed and we got outcoached'.

Mostly out-coached. 2nd series in a row.

This team doesn’t have a leader.  That’s a big problem in the playoffs.

This series is demonstrating the limitations of each Celtics player and our staff, the same ones on display for the majority of their careers.

[PhoSita]

Maybe we just don't have answers.

We don’t

The Heat have two guys who are more seasoned and more confident in late game situations than anybody on the Celtics.

They've got a guy who makes an impact in the paint in a way nobody on the Celtics can.

They've got way more shooting.

They've got a better coach.

They simply have more quality players.


No shame in losing to a better team.  It's on Ainge now to find a way to get this team more reliable depth.


I don't want to hear about Hayward, either.  We can't rely on him to be available and healthy in these games.


The Celts went farther than I thought they would before this season.  They hit every mark I wanted them to hit this year.  I think they really could go further this year if they had some more help.  But they're young and there will be more opportunities.

[Ogaju]

I told yall to be careful asking for Miami over Milwaukee.

[KGs Knee]

Sigh...we'll get there eventually.


























When Ainge wakes up and hires an actual NBA coach

[BringToughnessBack]

One of the biggest chokes with a big lead in critical conference finals game for us..we cannot beat a zone

[blink]

announcers praising Butler but it was more on our bad turnovers.  big deal Butler was the recipient of bad turnovers

[slamtheking]

If this is how we're gonna play for this series, just get the brooms out and put us out of our misery.

that ought to knock any feelings of overconfidence out of these knuckleheads.

thing that aggravates me the most is that Lakers are looking at cruising to their 17th title in this bubble.  makes me ill
