Need to defend home-court...let's go.

[Surferdad]

I can't remember the last time this team had their top-9 players all available

[footey]

I expect Kyle Lowry to play today.

I expect the Heat to come at us strong.  They beat us in Boston just a short while ago.  They have heart.

We play our game hard the full 48, we will be fine.

Home sweet home!!!


Go Celtics!!!!

Game 1 vs. Milwaukee.  Hopefully this one goes better.

The pressure is on Miami. I look for them to come out strong. Celtics will need to weather the storm at the start. Once it settles down I expect the Celtics to take charge of the game. 

The Celtics need to match the intensity while not getting caught up in it. Stick to the plan play hard every possession.  If we play our game, play like we can play, we got this. Don’t get too up when it’s going well and don’t get too down when Miami has a run. Just keep playing hard and doing your thing.

True but RWill was not nearly full strength. We should be in a much better place for this game. Both mentally and physically.

At least I hope so.

Tp for the update!

MIA will be desperate to erase the stench in their mouths from the last game. Heat also have the reputation of being resilient and we're unlikely to have a shooting night like Thursday again anytime soon.

Don't turn over the ball and we'll win this series.

Intensity! Let's GO!

Per Heat: Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and P.J. Tucker (knee) will go through their routines with the intent to play in tonight’s Game 3 vs the Celtics. Heat could be whole tonight.

[JumpingJudkins]

Even if Lowry and Tucker play through their injuries, the Celtics should be fine -- unless they have one of those games where they keep fueling the Heat's fastbreak with live-ball turnovers. Protect the ball!

And play Pritchard enough to get him over the +40 plateau ...
