Heat (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game #1 4/21/24

The wait between games is agonizing lol, not gonna lie. And then after Wednesday, another two days off.

Just hope we don't agonize heading to Game 3 being 1-1. I rather agonize being up 2-0.

True

It's ubsurd  the amount of time off between each game. Clev could be done and get extra rest while we still have a game 4 to play on Monday. Why is the 1 seed getting less of an advantage?

Extra days off only help Miami. Cs have sat around long enough. Now they have to sit another two days in between games.

I think it because the 1 seed gets the early extra rest as a "bye". Or could be scheduling conflict with other venues etc. But after Saturday, they play every other day for the rest of the series.

Heat podcasters and blog boys saying they expect the Heat to win easily in Game 2. Said they liked what they saw from Miami and now know the stakes.

Joe should be out there begging for the refs to have the teams play within the rules, warning everybody that Miami is going to try to muck up the series.

Is he saying they weren’t in Game 1?  Miami only had 13 fouls called on them, 4 of them in the last two minutes when the game was decided but they got aggressive even by Miami standards.

God I hate that team.

I think that should be done behind the scenes before the game — everyone knows that’s how Miami plays, and the C’s just need to be ready for it and fight through it.  Our guys are at their worst when they’re worrying about the refs — no need for the coach to make that a public issue.
