It is kind of strange...

So Miami doesn’t show up in game 4 & gets embarrassed. Usually means they play hard and well the next game especially being at home. Yet Miami is +130..makes no sense..something is up…someone ain’t playing and Vegas knows.

I asked an official currently with an nba team about the heat canceling shootaround. They said they don’t ever remember that happening in the playoffs in all their years……..something is up I’m more convinced of it

Lots of Heat players are questionable.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams will test his left knee in warmups, but there’s optimism he’ll be available for Game 5 vs. Miami tonight, sources tell ESPN.

Fingers crossed.

Playoffs are about matchups and the Heat don't seem to have an answer for TimeLord.

During 67 minutes with TimeLord on the court in this series, the Celtics have outscored the Heat by 23.2 points per 100 possessions according to Himmelsbach.

I mean, should we really have brought him back this soon if this is going to be the status quo the rest of the postseason - a coin flip whether he can play consecutive games due to soreness? This doesn’t seem like it’s just standard post-surgery soreness at this point, though perhaps it is?

I know hindsight is 20/20, but with not needing him vs the Nets and his lackluster fit in the Milwaukee series, I do wish we would’ve given him a few more games off before getting him back in the fold, even on a minutes restriction.

R Truth looks just like Jimmy Butler in that gif I used. Had to find a way to use it.

I'm relaxed.  I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

I feel like I've been much more relaxed for these Miami games than I was for the Milwaukee games where I was an agonizing bundle of nerves.

The rest of what postseason? TL's going to get us past MIA because he negates Bam (and others):
