Heat (2-3) at Celtics (3-2) ECF Game #6 5/27/22

This is going to be a long and brutal 48 hours ahead, all for a ROAD Game 7. UGH...

In a game you needed to win, the player with the most shots…..Smart. They deserve to lose based off that alone. Tatum only 12 shots. Cs will never win anything with Smart on this team.

 

Yeah, let's not put anything on our superstar Tatum only getting 12 shots himself or turning the ball over 7 times. Or let's not forget about JB who essentially handed the game to Miami by choking two go-ahead free throws, and even Al was pretty much non-existent all night.

Lots of players had bad games. Celtics are not in this position without Smart's contributions all year long and his leadership.

This team has proven me wrong so many times. I’m not gonna count them out. It’ll be a tough game for sure but they’re been road warriors in these playoffs.

[Drucci]

I really think it will either be a close game throughout that can go both ways or a Boston blowout a la Milwaukee game 7 or game 6 in the '08 Finals (not with the same scoring difference obviously but in a "liberating" kind of way).

Turns out the first scenario was the real one 😭

We went from the « Derrick White game » to a terrible loss in the span of a few minutes, that’s tough. Didn’t expect Al to play this poorly but I just found out he lost his grandfather a few days ago.

Not feeling good about game 7 but we’ll see. Kudos to the Heat and to Butler, they made every big shot, some of them very lucky, but they made them.

This team is so mentally soft when things are going well.
They cannot handle success

4th ECF in 6 years

sorry no EXCUSES

miami is trash compared to giannis, jrue, lopez and portis

we shot ourselves in the foot that series also and had to perform a miracle in gaes 6 and 7

we have blown out bucks and heat so easily how do we show up like this at home? i mean we won by 20 last home game but you get the point
zero playing smart with any comnsistency

we are our worst enemy

[johnnygreen]

The refs were bad, but this is on the Celtics. How can your first team all pro only take 12 shots?

[blink]

It was a really tough loss to watch.  We probably all need to step back and go have a beer.  Let the Celtics simmer on this for a couple of days and see if they find what it takes to win game 7 on the road.  Series isn’t over yet.

I love Smart but JFC games like today are the frustrating part about him. SO many dumb plays, clearly can't shoot but for some reason he's still jacking up shots and taking them away from Jaylen and Tatum

What he did was inexcusable tonight. I'm all for a guy gutting it out, but if you can't be a net positive to the team, then sit down.

Ime and the refs lost this.

White shouldve been in for smart during the 3rd and rob needed to be in.

Refs just killed.us tho.on multiple occasions when a run was starting.

Gonna be even worse if Boston chokes Game 7.

[Indocelts]

One thing that  is so depressing is how stupid is Ime in managing the challenge. I think he lost more than 50% of the challenge. And the timing too.

Rule of thumb is if either Tatum or GWill asks for a challenge don’t do it.

[letsgoblue86]

Heat hit some lucky , timely shots. Ok. They gotta do it again. Don’t think they will.

Unfortunate that the Celtics got to play another game.

[lbgreen33]

A lot of coaches would be fired for a game like this

.  Ya, he should have told Butler Not to Hit that late game 3 Give me a break

[liam]

Smart and Horford 5-23... Keep shooting Marcus.

[seancally]

Haven’t lost back to back games yet in the playoffs. Let’s hope that continues. Bounce back and punk Miami in their home court to punch your ticket.

[zeitgeist49]

The fact is the Celtics play tight at home. They are 3-4 at home in the last two series. And they are 4-2 away in the last two series.
