Celtics (3-5) at Heat (6-1) Game #9 11/4/21

[Neurotic Guy]

Talk about instant reverse over-reaction. Now we are the best team in the East after one great quarter.

This team has two personalities. They show they have enough talent to be a very good team.
It's the mental part that they struggle with.

It's more just excited to see that the team can have a very good half -- and play defense.  I don't think anyone thinks this is actually the turnaround.  Will be a mental test in the 2nd half I agree and that hasn't played out well over the last year.

Nessie and Romeo!!!!

Juliette always had her suspicions.

This is a learning moment for Udoka. He trusted the reserves with minutes and they’ve rewarded us. Their minutes sparked the lead and with one more spell in the 3rd-4th will give the starters a rest to finish strong.

This is a Top 5 defense; it’s what I expected before the season and why they’re capable of being a dangerous playoff team.

This Heat team will continue pushing until the end so they have to be ready for these counter runs.

25 bench points in the half!

I just noticed that KL for the heat is 0-5 from the field as well.
Lets keep frustrating him and not let him get on track.  He is really annoying.

Tatum's play or at least shooting is a mystery.  Need to focus on winning the game, not on getting him going.  The Heat are too good to mess around with.

That's what's been happening though. He was out for quite a while in the third. He's passing well. Rebounding heaps. Looking good.

Nice 3 by Al.  If I were the heat, I would try to get another foul on him.

Good grief, Tatum. How do you miss that with Duncan Robinson on you?

[Kiorrik]

W O W Jimmy Buckets.

[Silas]

Good timeout.

Tatum can’t buy one, wow

[jpotter33]

Jayson going to start forcing dumb shots now 

Great timeout by Ime there. Clear momentum starting to build.

[liam]

Good timeout.

Yeah, it was.
Tatum is drawing a lot of attention even though he's still scoreless, he needs to use that to set up teammates.
