Heat (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) ECF Game #1 5/17/23

[celticinorlando]

Celtics in 6 with this one being a loss. Just think the Cs start series very slow, specifically at home. Will be a step slow from the other day.

Celtics come out focused and maintain momentum from last series. Not dominate but in control. Lead most of game staying 5-10 pts ahead. No let down!
Celtics 106
Heat 98

Go C's.   Not having Herro is going to hurt the Heat.  He is Celtics Killer.

I am hoping the Celtics have “finally” learned their lessons from:

1. The Finals loss against Golden State
2. The Game 5 loss against Atlanta
3  The Game 1 loss against Philly without Embiid.

4. The Game 5 loss against Philly.

If you’re a championship team you need to dominate mentally and understand the psychology of each game.

They need to come out tonight angry, aggressive and chippy - and stomp on Miami - Miami is not a group you want to give any confidence to.

Their goal should be a blow out. This should be a 5 game series, 6 game series max.

Got Marc Davis as lead official tonight.

We should win tonight but I could see a loss. Still wouldn’t impact my outlook that the Celtics win the series in 6.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

we are winning at home tonight.

i am done losing at home

REFUSE TO LOSE

we need to learn to grind out wins at home even if we do not look like we did in games 6 and 7 against sixers.

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREEN RUNS DEEP

ITS NOT LUCK

C US RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE

  Miami will be doing tons of holding with guys trying to get open so gonna come down to a lot of one on one heroics. Rules are different for Miami especially.

Expect Lowry to stick out his fat butt and hip check guys creating illegal picks.

Might need a late afternoon iced coffee myself. Had to wake up early the last three days so I'm exhausted. Thankfully the next few days are chill and I can sleep in a bit, but idk if I can stay up past 11 today without some caffeine.

I see past history of them like this too.  Always can hope for better ,  but it seems it’s in their DNA to make games difficult, with poor shooting , not sharing ball , looking lost on offense. Takes forever for them to find their team rhythm.

This Heat team will come out punching for the knock out at the jump .

[Silas]

I’m ready for the Cs to go 8-0 and celebrate #18!
