Heat (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) ECF Game #3 5/21/22

The turnovers in the first qtr have been downright terrible. Risky passes that just. Aren’t. There! Bam has playing like an all-NBA player too making all types of shots. Plus C’s look like they have a better chance making threes instead of these open layups lol

lets get our head in the game! Let’s get it C’s!!!

Everyone but Jaylen took the first quarter off.  Pretty pathetic effort out there.

Jaylen and Al. Everyone else should be ashamed of themselves.

Al?? He's been rubbish

[SCeltic34]

That was some of the sorriest basketball I've witnessed.  Our defense is soft and we're frequently overhelping and out of position.  Not matching the physicality on either end of the floor.  Just walk off the court if this is how you're going to play C's.

They got caught off guard by Miamis intensity, probably because of the thrashing in g2. Roles reversed this time. We have to stop the bleeding, Miami will want to humiliate us. First few minutes of q2 will be crucial. In q1 we let missed shots affect our defense and when they didn’t miss our defense fell off

[Atzar]

Hard to figure how this team can look so good in one moment and so poor the next.

This isn't just about results, either.  It's about decision-making, execution, and effort.  We're letting them have the shots they want while we're taking the shots they want us to take at the other end.  That's just not how you win basketball games.

I mean, it's like clockwork. Everyone with a brain knew Miami was coming out strong after that last whooping we gave them, yet we look like we're unprepared to start the game. Just insane. How do you respond like that?

[RJD1974]

Absolutely pathetic. So typical of this team, to act like they already won this round simply because they won game two in Miami.

Completely unacceptable post. Do not do it again.

[Mahk E Mahk]

I'm telling you, CBS has to look what Derrick White and Theis package could get in the offseason.

maybe a case of beef jerky? we’d probably have to add cash to sweeten the deal, though.

[radiohead]

Terrible quarter.

Get that quarter out of the way and start playing Celtics basketball! It’s amazing how this team can get really bad at times.

[Silas]

Potential 5 point swing from White alone. Misses a layup, gives up an offensive rebound, gives his man a layup AND fouls.

yup, White not making a positive impact in his minutes.

Not true...5min.  2reb, 1assist,1blk and zero turnovers.

definitely seems to have been the mentality coming out tonight.  seems they ate up all that press proclaiming they'll take this series in 5 after how they played last game

[Phantom255x]

Literally all we need is one run and we're back in it. Just one run, and ASAP

[Surferdad]

Everyone but Jaylen took the first quarter off.  Pretty pathetic effort out there.

Jaylen and Al. Everyone else should be ashamed of themselves.

Al?? He's been rubbish

He missed 2 point-blank bunnies and can’t guard a chair.

Al?? He's been rubbish

He's playing hard and making the right plays at least.

that 5 point swing is far more notable
