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

Heat are simply playing harder , their personal is not better.

This really is it. From the coach down these guys should all be ashamed of themselves. Terrible performances. Honestly, this Heat team is much more likable at this point than Boston.

This team is such a disappointment. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Edit: jpotter beat me to it

Does anyone know why TIMELORD didn't play in this one?

On to game 3.

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

They keep 1 upping the choke job every game. This team can’t get out of its own way...

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

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.

Pretty much this. Brad seems to have no clue how to deal with a zone D, or when to call timeouts, or how to properly rotate players. And the players seem to have no clue how to deal with a zone D, or how to stick with what works and shun what doesn't work (isos), or consistently make shots.

[KrazyLegs]

EPIC. EPIC. FAIL.

The bright side is that this will (hopefully) grease the wheels for them to make some changes.

The bad thing is they may never get a better shot at getting to the finals.

Wow, what a MF'ing waste

[PhoSita]

I really hope they don't get swept.  That would really suck.

[BringToughnessBack]

Well, here you go..Celtics in 6...no more close games...See you on weekend..2 bottles 🍷needed

[keevsnick]

Jaylen Brown was 4-7, 2-4 from three 3-4 from the line for 13 points in that last quarter. Its a shame he couldn't hit that last one, it would have been an epic quarter. 

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Okay, it took me a long time, but now I'm riding on the "Brad Stevens should be on the hot seat" wagon. I tried really hard to defend the man but these third quarter collapses are just inexcusable.

[radiohead]

They are a better coached and tougher team.  Plain and simple.

I agree. 3 point game with 23 seconds to go and we don’t call a time out? And he had 2 remaining. Early success went into the Cs heads. Now they’re acting like spoiled brats if the calls don’t go their way. We should be better than that. This series is for the Heat to lose. I hope to be proven wrong but we simply are outplayed, outhustled, and outcoached. 

[Surferdad]

Sigh...we'll get there eventually.


























When Ainge wakes up and hires an actual NBA coach

This. THIS.  Sorry Brad but you’ve been exposed for 2 series in a row.

[Tr1boy]

F^#€$ Butler

Adebayo kept getting alleys

And Brad just sits there doing nothing. Instead of employing Timelord. What a terrible coaching job again

[CF033]

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

Well yea when you lose one of the quarters by 20.

It’s crazy by the end of the game I was thinking about how much I enjoy watching the Heat play... they play like underdogs and they never quit.

Our entitled team thinks they’re going to walk in to the finals. I thought they would have learned from the last series, or the Clippers meltdown...
