Heat (48-28) at Celtics (47-29) Game #77 3/30/22

Pritchard being a non-factor against a team that defends is a bit of a concern. The Heat took him out of the game. They also really missed Rob tonight.

I don’t think we did him or Grant any favours. No way Smart should take that many more threes than those two

Two games in a row he couldn't get his shots off against good defense.

Smart you mean?

Pritchard. Smart I'm not worried about. He's played well in high pressure games his whole career.

Yeah, 3-15 with 6 TOs was quite a preformance. Clutch.

This is it folks.

This is the litmus test.

Do we have what it takes to be competitive without Rob.

Man, this is the most excited I've been about a game in a while.

_{Disclaimer: there's no such thing as a definitive test to see if you can compete, obviously. results may vary. but it's a great indicator. and it's not going to depend on getting a W or an L. That's just one statistic. terms and conditions apply. now read this disclaimer again, and say it out loud.}

I'm sure we will have measured and even keeled responses to this game. 

But adjusting to life without TimeLord within 5 games is gonna be a tall order.

So you want to make Pritchard the starting PG?

[liam]

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T THIES PLAY MORE? 6-6

Does Ime watch... He was a very passive coach this evening. Spo made adjustments but not Ime just went with top 5 and White.

[colincb]

Smart's shot the ball 41 times in the last 2 games and has had 12 TOs.

No, I don't. Didn't say that. Why don't you just say I want Kornet as the starting point guard? I want Smart to play well and not take 15 shots and not turn the ball over 6 times.

Dr Smart and Mr Marcus. We got Mr Marcus again tonight. We need Dr Smart!

Pretty dishonest to try and imply Liam ever said that

Everyone knows I want Bane to be our starting point guard.

You’d clone Bane and have him play 1-5 if you could

Smart's playoff box score numbers are very similar to his regular season numbers and his offensive and defensive ratings are worse.

Smart is a good point guard for this team when he plays within himself and doesn't overdo it. He's been one of the main reasons for the winning we've done since the first of the year. These last two games are Smart from the beginning of the year and it's not going to get you wins. I hope he goes home and breaks a mirror and gets back on track.
