Celtics (1-2) at Heat (2-1) ECF Game #4 9/23/20

[Larry for 3]

The Celtics don’t seem to interested in winning this game, especially Tatum. I don’t get it, it’s like they don’t care that they are about to go down , 3 to 1. Where’s the passion?

[hpantazo]

What happened? Why do we look so out of synch and slow? Our whole team looks out of it. We should be down 20.

Someone is going to have to re-teach me the rule book because I have no idea what a foul is. They called 3 offensive fouls for the extended arm but when the heat extend the arm CLEAR as day it's not called. Dragic has drawn like 2 flagrant fouls this series on shots to the face yet he elbows Hayward and it's a foul on gordon lol

[slamtheking]

Tatum, Smart and Hayward are hot garbage shooting tonight.  need to turn that around in the second half because Kemba and Jaylen won't be enough.  also need to stop turning it over and bricking 3's.  5-19 isn't going to get it done.  need to go back to driving the ball like last game

[ozgod]

We look so out of sync...horrible rust it appears

With both teams executing poorly and defending grimly, this game really will come down and who wants it more who makes more effort plays

[keevsnick]

Heat have 2 fouls this quarter.

Seems like the Cs have 47.

Make that 50

C's have 9 personal fouls and heat have shot 8 ft's. MIA has 10 personal fouls and Celtics have shot 10 fts. So fouls dont feel like a factor either. Both teams are playing disjointed, the difference was just Tyler Hero was on fire with jumpers.

[Phantom255x]

Only way they win this is if they come out strong in the 3rd. Otherwise Miami can just dictate things the rest of the way and stay ahead

[RPGenerate]

7 turnovers from Brown and Tatum isn't gonna cut it. We also need to start hitting open 3's. They're packing the paint on us, and it's working because our team minus Kemba can't hit anything tonight.

Definitely..a great coach will find the right trigger to win the next half and game..Please let it be Stevens!

[bopna]

the heat have a lead at the half which hasn't happened, they also usually take the third qtr....Now its up to the guys to step it up and not lose the third again which they usually do.

If they win this third qtr then it will be a loss.

[makaveli]

i see the refs get a lot of hate on this thread, the game has been called more than fairly

no excuse for not attacking the rim when bam is on the bench,
no excuse for 10+ long contested 3pters,

P.S.
and that challenge was one of the worst ever, clear foul, while brade choose not to challange a much better one with a bad call on marcus.

[Greenality]

With 26% 3pm, 11 TO and JT playing his C-game we're only down 6..
However, this can move away quickly, if we continue like that.

[BringToughnessBack]

If Tatum simply wakes up 3/4 next half, we win..

[footey]

Brown and Tatum have committed 7 1st half turnovers. That really hurts.

Luckily no one besides Herro had it going on other side.

[SparzWizard]

This game is winnable.  Miami isn't lighting anyone up tonight.  We need to raise our intensity and just execute better.  We gave away so many possessions with turn overs and bad 3s in the first half.

As what the Celtics have been doing all series long lol. Not winnable if they keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
