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

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.

So sit Tatum and Brown and… what, exactly?

Naw it’ll never happen. Just moaning

Injured Tatum is our best passer tonight.

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.

Yeah, someone needs to go off here. Jaylen needs to start channeling that 2nd half magic from game 3.

Guys need to trust each other and read these blitzes a little faster. There are vulnerabilities in that defense we can exploit.

Too much standing around watching when Miami shoots. Putrid on the boards

[SCeltic34]

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

It really is something else.  We're playing far below where we're capable of playing.

[Redz]

My kingdom for a shot maker!

Let’s go Celts!

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.

I think that defenses just know to go for the ball and not guard the body.  Jaylen has to play some chess out there -- can't keep doing the same thing.

[BringToughnessBack]

First team with offensive spurt wins. Lets hope its us!

Get the ball to a healthy shooter.

16 second chase points for Miami. That’s the game

[gouki88]

5 turnovers for the half, and 5 offensive boards, and we win

[Neurotic Guy]

Nice to see Smart contribute.

[RockinRyA]

I think guys are too injured than they're letting on. The defense is clearly there but the offense.. we're missing wide open shots tonight plus of course the turnovers.

[RPGenerate]

Good play for a nice start.

[Phantom255x]

Honestly even though they're down 5, I'm not feeling confident at all. Would be nice if they could start the half on a bit of a run

[gouki88]

More like it! Attack inside and attack early
