Celtics (44-22) at Heat (42-25) Seeding Game #3 8/4/20

Can we somehow force overtime

[jpotter33]

Haha Miami closing out the end of this one out like a Brad Stevens team! 

[Ogaju]

So many reason we lost tonight.

But what I'm left with after these first few games is a reminder that our bigs are just inferior.  No chance of ever controlling the paint or making other teams think twice about driving the lane.

So why not put Robert Williams in there???

this energy the final thirty seconds p---es me off. where’s it been all game, c’s?!?

I really don't think this was an effort loss.  Effort is always going to come and go over the course of the game, but I generally thought we tried.  We just didn't play well.

No Jimmy Butler and they still lose? SMH

[jpotter33]

Glad we ended with three timeouts left! Clearly no need for any of them during any of those big runs or anything  Classic Brad Stevens poor in-game decision-making. God forbid he do any coaching during the game.

Yet the refs and our poor effort were bigger factors tonight. I feel like anytime we play a team without their star we play down to the competition.

We struggled against the zone all night

It happens.  Miami played extremely well in the first half and deserved to win more than we did.

Exactly

Bam gets to the line repeatly and CBS just sits there

Tatum and Brown rack up fouls

Stupidity coaching

[RPGenerate]

My power flickered a bit during this game, which kind of sucked. Now I wished the power stayed off for the rest of this awful game.

[BASS_THUMPER]

Who was dat interviewing Bam


i like the at&t gurl 2

[radiohead]

Outplayed, outhustled, outcoached the whole game. C’s talent made it close towards the end. Bam was wrecking havoc the whole game and yet Brad insisted on small ball. And how can you allow Smart to foul out that early?? There were bad calls but this loss is squarely on the Cs. We had a chance to lock uo the 3rd seed with a win tonight. Oh well...

WHEN are timeouts going to become a tradeable commodity. That stash Brad has collected will definitely make him a rich man.

[keevsnick]

So many late shot clock buckets for the heat today. Also we just missed too many threes. Jaylen/Hayward/Semi were 1-15 combined.

Just a disjointed game. But its disapoitning becasue the C's dont have a ton of games here to test Themselves. lost against MIL, now MIA, only really good team they play the rest of the way is TOR. Also the 3 seed is now sort of in play.
