Yessss! Loving this aggressive start. Shocking the Heat a bit. Just gotta keep the intensity. Up to Ime to get creative w his rotations

Prior to this season, I didn't think you could play defense like this in the NBA anymore.

amazed we caught Miami coming out so flat this game.  looking good for the C's so far

They haven't played anyone yet. We are coming off playing the two best teams in the East!!!

Very true. The defenses they've played thus far can't even kiss our shoes. They're clearly shell-shocked by our aggressiveness on that end thus far.

Also I personally think they got a bit lucky playing the Sixers without Embiid the first two games. If Embiid was healthy I think they split the first two and PHI probably wins the series in 6 or 7

Stephen A said the Heat would win. Is he some kind of reverse jinx like Barkley? IDK, I don't pay attention to him.

Yep. For all their warts, the officials this year have been much better at allowing physical, contact D at least.

[Phantom255x]

White having such a good start

It's nice to have someone who can backup Smart really nice on games he doesn't play

[jpotter33]

Keep attacking, JT. Don't start chucking.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Miami has no answer for the Timelord down there!

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

STOP CHUCKING JT
