Not encouraging, but in defense of the Celtics, Miami's D is playing well and Tatum and Smart are not looking healthy.  They've really got to give it everything in the 2nd half.   

Jaylen has to adjust.  I believe he will.

If Tatum is hurt, then sit him. He is doing more harm than good with his shooting.
Yup, said that too.  He’s a net-negative, and Brown too.

Always the dollar, speaking of which , money is destroying sports in this country.
College football is lost with NIL now dominating recruiting.

So sit Tatum and Brown and… what, exactly?

He always has, but not so much in this series. I wonder if his wrist is still hurting him, which could explain the lost dribbles.

This is where Stevens has to find a viable consistent third scoring option for next season. Too many nights brown and Tatum fall off the cliff esp in the playoffs

Derek White is pretty much the only player left without a lingering injury, and it shows.

I just dont understand how they can come out this lackadaisical in a game 5 conference finals. Jaylen is playing like a complete softy and its pathetic. Dude just cant hold onto the ball. The defense is looking like they have zero communication on the switches and covering shooters.

The heat are allowed to set moving screens every single time. Bam is literally pulling like an offensive lineman every single time and they wont freaking call it. Im getting p---ED
everyone got so sensitive after 9-11... thanks alot bin laden

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

Now that is funny ............ and exactly right.

Jaylen has been going into the defense with his head down and turning the ball over the entire series so far. If he was going to adjust you'd think he would have done it by now.

Good news…. Only down 5 and I don’t think the C’s could play any worse. Let’s go!
