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

Bam is such a dirty player

Lol, what? Because of the hit on Grant? Seriously?

You didn’t see the flagrant on Rob?

Of course I did. But that was a genuine boxout attempt as Brown looked like he was shooting (I thought he was). Adebayo was already in that motion before TL went up

That’s not the definition of a flagrant

What are you actually talking about? Flagrants are not inherently dirty, especially flagrant 1s

That one was.

Backing into a player and undercutting them while they are high in the air is super  dirty and could have taken him out of the series and season. I agree.

He didnt even know he was in the air lol. You guys are clearly drunk.

Nah man watch it again---he was stopped and backed into him while in the air---totally on purpose.

He was /no attempting to circumvent the swear filter please/boxing out.

I like Theis but man he just doesn't match up against some of these teams (Bucks, Heat). He makes Bam Adebayo look like Wilt Chamberlain lol just like in the 2020 bubble

Brown makes his free throws when the game is over

[JSD]

Based on the (poor) quality of the defense, I  would say our guys are tired. No one on the bench to soak up Al and Smart's minutes.

It's really a shame the Western Conference got the Wednesday game. DAL is going to be nice and rested up after their 7 game series, while we lost Smart and Al at the last second. Smart would have likely been back for a game tomorrow. And, yeah, I get Al would be gone anyway, but it may the difference between him missing 2 games and 3 games. Also, maybe he never gets tested if they wait another day.

Yup, this is a schedule loss. Ridiculous for the ECF

Now JB decides to make free throws.

miami should be concerned and you guys should relax. this was an uphill battle game with two starters out, one day of rest after a brutal seven-game series vs. miami’s five days of rest, plus travel.

we get al and marcus back and we’ll be fine. 

[Phantom255x]

Thanks Jaylen, you finally hit 2 FTs in a row when it's probably garbage time...

[gouki88]

The Jays with their worst collective 2nd half in a while

[gouki88]

Just blowing the whistle as soon as Butler gets into the paint.

[Phantom255x]

Miami is just making insane shots like HUH...

[angryguy77]

18 ft for butler.

I'm at a loss

[86MaxwellSmart]

Butler doing his Giannis gimmick and getting all the calls.

[scaryjerry]

The heat are complete and Utter hot garbage, credit to there coaching staff and how hard they play but no excuse to lose this series

What??

No excuse to eventually lose this series?
Couldn’t care less if the heat had the number 1 seed, one of the worst number 1 seeds in any sport ever and half there roster should be in the g league

[PAOBoston]

Pure emasculation tonight. Heat trying to take the Cs soul from game 1

[Phantom255x]

So Butler may have 20+ FTs by the end of this game...
