Heat (3-1) at Celtics (1-3) ECF Game #5 9/25/20

[Csfan1984]

I've been willing to give Hayward an extremely long leash, the misfortune he's suffered in green has been horrendous but looking at it objectively, it's becoming increasingly difficult to not see him as the worst FA acquisition this team had made in some time right now.

Compared to Hayward, Avg Al is Epic Al. Hayward is such a misfortune.

The good news is we are only down 7 after a truly awful half.

I couldn’t envision a worse combined effort on offense and defense. Missed too many easy shots, gave up way to many open looks.

This could very easily be a much larger deficit. Let’s hope they re-focus at halftime because clearly the urgency wasn’t there at the start.

Herro or Robinson havent gone off yet or the rest of the Heat members so no worries - the pain will be quick and swift hopefully by heat to end us once and for all and this core

If Kanter is going to be missing layups what’s the point of playing him

Kanter is the one complaint I don't have in this game.

Exactly. Kanter a ball of energy fighting for a bucket and rebound he’s the least of this teams worries. If he wasn’t in this team is prob down by 18. I don’t know why he wasn’t played more throughout the series.

Celtics FG 40.4% - 3PT 37.5% Bench - 32 minutes 12 pts
Heat FG  45.5% - 3PT 22.2% Bench - 33 minutes 7 pts

If this was a TV series, it would have been cancelled after the second game.

It's frustrating to see our supposed superstar getting outplayed by a rookie and a role player for the second game in a row. This must be how Raptors fans felt when they watched Siakam in the bubble.

i just don't wanna go down with 10-40 shooting 3-s all game long.

yes they are collapsing and closing on drives, but we have to find a way to get easier shots.

Miami has been awful but Boston keeps sending them to the line.

That might be just as true if we lose this game

It looks like the refs are calling the game in a lopsided manner to me.

What’s the excuse tonight?

Heat simply have a better, more mentally tough team and a better coach. Been obvious since game 2

Every 50-50 seems to go Miami's way but as players, surely they're smart enough to adjust to what's happening on the floor? Then again, Boston has proven they're low on BB IQ.

Refs have been very good tonight. One missed call on the crowder three but that’s it.

Refs call in favor of the aggressive team. We don’t deserve any calls or benefit of the doubt. They are settling for long jumpers and not fighting for loose balls they don’t deserve squat.

Someone on Reddit said this:

"Stevens is a floor riser but not a ceiling riser"

Honestly if they lose tonight... I can't really argue with that?

[Phantom255x]

I'm not even trolling, but could Tacko Fall really do worse than someone like Theis right now? Even if he grabs a few rebounds or makes a few putbacks that's already more contribution
