Celtics (2-2) at Heat (2-2) ECF Game #5 5/25/22

[radiohead]

We're in great shape.  You can't get blown out when you play defense.

Game 5 on the road? Keep it close enough to let your star(s) try to steal it down the stretch.

I agree. We got spoiled with the calls going our way last game. Now they’re calling it differently. Could be HCA or they just wanna make sure this thing goes 7 games.  But we’re only down 5 at this point. If we can just play our regular game - play tough D, move the ball, and stop whining about missed calls - then maybe we can steal this game. The Jays are playing like crap and we’re only down 5.

We should be down by 15+.  Very fortunate.

I never yell at my tv, but those Bam moving screens have me acting like a madman. Yeah, the Cs suck (except Derrick), but how many of those 2nd chance points came off of misses where a moving screen should have been called?

[blink]

Apparently Bam is not allowed to get called for fouls tonight. That's a charge, and he *literally* moves on every single screen.

The Bam uncalled moving screens are getting to the point of ridiculous.  Bam freaking practically tackled Jaylen on the last screen.

This is what the NBA gets for scheduling a game every other night so that there is always somebody on. A bunch of injured players trying just to get through. Fun basketball, huh NBA?

What I don't get is, guys like Giannis, Bam, AD, etc. get away with these kinds of things but if a Celtics big does it they'll probably call it every time

If Tatum is hurt, then sit him. He is doing more harm than good with his shooting.

Always the dollar, Always the dollar.

Need to settle down and make better decisions with the ball. That's about it.

[jpotter33]

Ime needs to whip these guys up at the half and get them going.

He also needs to come right out of the locker room and continue to stress the Bam moving screens to the refs. Keep the pressure on them. They are WAY too obvious to not be getting called. He's not even trying to hide them at this point because he's gotten away with them all series long.

Watching this game with confidence is like watching titanic for the 10th time believe this time the ship won't hit the iceberg.

Yeah, it's crazy

[celticinorlando]

Don’t understand why they can’t put 2 decent efforts in a row together against a very underwhelming Miami team.

when KG did that for us they called it in a new york minute

Giving up turnovers AND offensive rebounds is a recipe for disaster especially on the road. We’re lucky to only be down by 5 after that.

The Heat not capitalizing on that half bodes well for us. They are ripe for the taking, just need someone to make it happen.
