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

Pritchard, a pocket-sized Danny Ainge. He’s got mad game. And a Tyler Herro like performer.

Since Ime started giving him more than 5 mins a game after January, we’ve been darn good. Keep it rolling !

I thought you guys might have learned your lesson regarding Jaylen. He'll end up with his usual 20-23 points, 6-8 rebounds and 4-5 assists while playing great defense when it all said and done. Watch.

He needs us to talk smack. It's part of the ritual. Without that he wouldn't go on those runs

I'm nervous, nervous, nervous. Not sure we can maintain this.

[Silas]

Nice defensive effort by Nessie tonight.  Solid 5+ min.

[gouki88]

I'm nervous, nervous, nervous. Not sure we can maintain this.

I don't think Miami can (legally nor ethically) grow 3 inches each over the half time break. They can't stop us on the interior

I'm nervous, nervous, nervous. Not sure we can maintain this.

It's a mental test now

It's insane to me the Heat are paying Duncan Robinson 90M to do.. nothing

Like that might actually be an albatross haha. At least Westbrook, Harden, etc. actually play and can win games

Dream job. Tens of millions of dollars to HAVE courtside seats

As long as we don't run out of gas we'll be fine.

Speaking of Jaylen, has he been the best 2nd banana/2nd best player on the team in these playoffs. I think he has been

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Overall I'll still gladly take that first half given the injuries we're dealing with!

Tatum might put up 40 but we definitely need Jaylen to step up and help as well. Tatum can't do it alone

JB will show up in second half

mark my words

 

[gouki88]

At least Westbrook ... actually play and can win games

Nah

Feels like the Celtics have carried over their mindset from the Buck's series - kind of like this is Game 8. And Tatum as excellent.

The Heat looked a half step behind but got saved a bit by Herro. Scal and co on TV are saying it appears like the C's are just better - I wouldn't quite jump to that conclusion.  The Heat look like the C's in Game 1 vs Milwaukee. They'll adjust.

Going to be a tough 2nd half but hopefully Herro cools off.

Hell I'll take even just 1% of that and do some chores on the sidelines if they want me to! 

[kraidstar]

I wanna see a smart quarter here by the C's. Eliminate a few mistakes and we can roll.
