Celtics (30-15) at Heat (32-14) Game #46 1/28/20

[jpotter33]

So we just letting guys pull the nets when the shot is on the rim with no goaltending call now? Smart's reverse layup had a guy pulling down on the net when it was on the rim.

So we switched it up.

Good 1st quarter, bad 2nd quarter. 

Yup. So a net gain of zero.

[tstorey_97]

Good execution on the last two plays.

anyone had the impossible whopper


is it good?

I'm mostly a vegetarian so am excited about the impossible/beyond stuff (although it's not super-healthy). Yeah, it's really really good and BK just added it to the 2 for $6 menu. Restaurants all over the country are catching on so it is so much easier to just go anywhere to eat now.

This made me laugh. How can you be "mostly a vegetarian"? Is that like where you don't eat meat except for the times you do?

Mostly plant-based, sorry. Trying not to sound like a db and say 'pesca-vegetarian'. I still rarely eat fish, but I still technically do, so I don't want to make this great declaration that I am a total vegan or total vegetarian because it is insulting to those who are (it's weird, but they do take offense).

Smart needs to clamp down on trying to go for the home run pass every time down.  It is hurting us.

yup.  bad enough we've missed some very easy shots but Smart has been killing us on offense.

[SCeltic34]

Just 17 points that quarter yet we still have a 5 point lead.  I'll take it.

Yeah I don't know how the zebras didn't see that.  Oh wait, yes I do - many NBA refs aren't very good at their jobs.

Brown was hot and really feeling it, calling for the ball a bunch in that 2nd quarter and his team mates mostly  ignored him. Don't get that. He's hot. Feed the man.

Good 1st quarter, bad 2nd quarter. 

Yup. So a net gain of zero.

a gain of +5.

[RockinRyA]

Is marcus smart channeling his inner Terry Rozier?!

[satch]

Rebound...This is two games in a row that the opposition has got at least 5 offensive  possessions on one trip.

So I'm not a true vegetarian, but because of religion and such I don't eat red meats. I can eat chicken + dairy products + fish, but never tried fish in my life (don't like the smell of it lol). That said, even chicken I don't eat as often anymore. The truth is, despite what people say, there aren't too many true vegetarians out there because technically if you eat processed foods or even dairy products, technically it's like eating meats, or you not being a vegan. I actually never knew until a few years ago there are many different types of vegetarians 

That said, I've never tried the new burgers/sandwiches at BK and even Dunkins', as you never know what's truly in those things (the "beyond sausage" one and others)

not enough shots for Jaylen or Gordon.  too many for Smart.  need Kemba to get untracked in the second half. 

[tstorey_97]

Celtics 45.5% - Bench 30 minutes -- 7 points
Heat 35.6% -- Bench 49 minutes -- 23 points

Heat are quite obviously waiting til the second half before they unleash KO on C's.

Good news is KO (Kelly Olynyk) isn't playing tonight

Rebound...This is two games in a row that the opposition has got at least 5 offensive  possessions on one trip.

Rebounds thus far:

Boston 22
Miami 23

Bad bounces happen.

The Celtics have pretty consistently had 4 guys crashing the defensive boards. I am quite happy with the rebounding given Tatum and Kanter aren't playing
