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

We really seemed to do better with Tatum out lol

Agree. He's not shooting and just throwing the ball away.

[kraidstar]

The Celtics win this game if Tatum does not play

[slamtheking]

I don't remember seeing a team pass the ball this badly.

we don't have a PG/ballhandler that can break another team's pressure D or get the team into an offensive set.

Literally - we lost this game by bringing Tatum back in. Honestly, Ime should've just made the tough call and kept him out after the injury. He was actively hurting us out there AND STILL IS.

This will be known as the Tatum game, and not for a good reason. Soft, foolish game by him. So irritated.

[BringToughnessBack]

Time for 9-0 surge to steal it

[blink]

all that effort from Smart and Brown, all that momentum just flat out destroyed.
what a freaking dump Tatum took in this game.
Gotta be better than that.

[cltc5]

Shoulda left Tatum out.  He looks like a 7 year old waiting for a lebron James autograph

[Billz401]

Ive never seen worse ball security in all my years watching celtics games..

My God, Tatum has almost single-handedly lost this game for us. Dude isn't a superstar. You simply cannot have games like this and be a superstar. Just the worst player on the floor tonight. 0 heart for him.

He has no clue how to help his team when he is not shooting well - weak-ass front runner.

[jambr380]

Just a real blown opportunity. To think that we got it to 1 after that whole mess. Just embarrassing as a team. Game 4 is going to be difficult with Jimmy back.

Yep, really good player capable of being great but still light years from being a superstar,

Pritchard has 0 turnovers.

[Mahk E Mahk]

The turnovers were always the key to this series. Miami forces them and is how they win games

except they didn’t force most of them tonight. c’s gave the ball and the game away tonight.

[CelticSooner]

C’s sucked tonight. Could have stole it but on to Game 4. This team keeps doing it the hard way.

Heart is what JT is missing. Doesn't have the leadership quality. He is soft.
