Celtics (0-0) at Heat (0-0) ECF Game #1 5/17/22

[Who]

Heat struggling to keep up with a BOS team without Horford or Smart. Does not bode well for their chances in this series.

[Atzar]

Looks like our starters can do work but we're going to struggle when anybody needs a breather.  Have to expect that, to be honest. 

[SCeltic34]

Happy with the 3 point lead but that wasn't even close to as good a quarter as we could have had.

[BringToughnessBack]

Will take a 3 pt lead. Tatum and Timelord looking good.

[mobilija]

Good response to Heat run

[nickagneta]

Up three. I will take it.

[Roy H.]

A lead is a lead.

[letsgoblue86]

Feel good so far. We looked like the better team when our starters were on the floor.

Will need to maximize those minutes because the heat are a good 4th quarter team.

[Phantom255x]

Overall I'll take it! One sloppy stretch but that was a solid quarter by the C's

I do think there's a chance one of Tatum/Jaylen goes nuclear at some point this game

[Silas]

Anytime you win the 1st quarter you are doing something right.  Go Cs!

[gouki88]

Simply LOVING Tatum's aggressiveness getting to the hole. I think he smells revenge and a chance to win ECF MVP in his future!

He wants that Bird trophy!

[scaryjerry]

Heat are like the land of misfit toys…are they capable of winning this series? Absolutely but eh I would take both the nets and bucks over them so no excuse to lose imo

[tarheelsxxiii]

Heat look like steaming rubbish.  We won the first without Smart and Horford.   

[Goldstar88]

Good start. Miami has quite a few defenders that JB and JT should be able to abuse.

[gouki88]

A lead is a lead.

Especially without the DPOY and another top-10 DPOY
