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

It is over. No fight.  Jaylen is the only one. Leaving their feet on 3 pt shooters is high school level stuff.

[letsgoblue86]

On another note, lot of game left.

[Phantom255x]

No fight, just like Game 5 against Milwaukee last season

What bridge did they find Solomon Hill under?

He has to be a starter on the NBA's All-Caveman team.  Patrick Beverley and Robin Lopez would also be there.  I'd have to think about the others, lol.

Add Anthony Davis - the guy is trying to look as ugly and disgusting as possible ............  and succeeding.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it looks like most of our team - including our coach - is ready to go home at this point. They have not been playing with any kind of urgency or purpose whatsoever.

[Greenality]

So far this game has been a disaster for us. They are better in almost every component.
I hope guys can turn this around, but the level of effort, to beat team like Heat, is not there.

[Atzar]

Smart is terrific at missing Jaylen Brown when he's open for easy shots.  That's such a weird thing, but it's happening enough to consider it a trend at this point. 

[Csfan1984]

They look toast can't make the right easy pass or take the open shot. Then on defense too many guys out of position and not paying attention to loose balls.

[RJ87]

Why is Marcus playing so selfishly?

I find when the games become more important he generally does become selfish on offence

I've noticed that too. I get he's an "irrational confidence" guy on offense, but he just makes the most frustrating, dumb plays constantly.

[BringToughnessBack]

Ok, getting my desperation Redsox 2004 sweatshirt out of closet..breaking glass..changing shirts!

This is turning out to be like the Milwaukee series last year. But we obviously can’t blame Kyrie now. This team just doesn’t seem to have the mental toughness and discipline to dig deep into the playoffs. What a pathetic showing so far.

[Banner18now!]

Smart needs absolutely benched for that one. Likely killed a run for us. That's the kind of dumb crap that Stevens has let him get away with all season (and career) long and leads to this kind of crap. Of course he doesn't have the stones or character to hold his guys accountable, though.

This is the most perfect comment that explains Smart’s  career under Stevens. Stevens never reeled him in and this is the type of crap you get with Smart. I’m sorry, just because he plays lights out every 1 out of 6 games doesn’t make up for all the crap in between. He never understood his limits.

Enes gonna put up 20/20 and foul out

[Ogaju]

Kanter dominates and the selfish Tatum and co go away from him.

WE NEED BIGS!!!

[Phantom255x]

In a do-or-die game, the team has 30 points in the first 18 minutes. SMH
