Heat (37-31) at Celtics (35-33) Game #69 5/11/21

Jeez Tatum. My dude.

[blink]

Miami center is dribble driving to the hoop, and our center can't catch a pass.
uggg

[jpotter33]

Oh man, when Tatum pulls up like that you know he's starting to feel it.

[ozgod]

Kemba better not get Td up for respectfully asking these incompetent officials if they have vision problems

[jpotter33]

12-7 fouls, even though we've been doing a ton of attacking the basket 

[slamtheking]

hmm, Butler's out for the game.  hopefully we can capitalize and win this

Thompson with 3 rebounds in 22 minutes and little else.

[blink]

The more I see of Thompson, the more I'm convinced he's a poor man's Kendrick Perkins.

Is that a compliment? I don't think so, but lol I am seriously not sure.

Not a compliment, lol...especially not in today's NBA. In Perk's era, maybe.

0 points and 3 rebounds in 17 first half minutes just isn't enough from the center spot.

I have a feeling Brad’s gonna go with Jabari as a small ball 5 sometime innthe 3rd quarter.

lets do it, I mean TT obviously can't guard Adebayo 
what do we have to lose?

Run out Tacko or Kornet. Mix it up we have nothing to lose.

exactly.  I hate to say it, because I know you love him, but I think Tacko may be gone after this year.
So yeah, get him out there right now, and let him get some real action.

I'd rather get the win than see Tacko?

I would rather us get the 8 seed than the 7 myself, so to me this game isn't as critical.  I mean we are in the play in at this point.  I don't think any of these remaining regular season games matter except in not getting any more players injured.

Ah yeah, I feel ya.

To be honest, most of anything, I just want this team to develop some grit. So I kinda hope we stick with the rotation players and get them to play through some adversity.

Having said that - I totally can see your point too :]

oh I like developing some grit too,  how about us getting mad / p---ed off about letting BA score so easy.
it would be really fun to root for this C's team if they would show some toughness with the season on the brink.

[ozgod]

Tatum took too long to set up his iso

[liam]

The refs doing a job on us in the 3rd!!!

Also why is Smart getting shots with Fournier on the floor?

Where's Nesmith?

Wouldn't mind having a proper rivalry with the Heat!

[Chief]

Do you remember the 1st play when Smart posted up a weak defender and scored with ease?

Did they outlaw that play?

[liam]

Tatum took too long to set up his iso

Got to keep playing fast!!!!

yeah, TT is a good backup center, but he doesn't do enough consistently to be a starter and help us
we need more out of our starting center.  Having a center be able to hit a 3 would be a huge

Yeah, rather have him jacking up threes....
