[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

So tired of Lowrys flailing and dramatics.

after what we have seen for years and with donaghys whistle clowing not sure how much more of this trash i can stand

Keys to 2nd half:

1. Get back to up tempo and transition ball.
2. Timelord you have to be our defensive presence this quarter.
3. Shut down Jimmy Butler.
4. Stop jacking 3s!!!

Oh, and how many FTs would the Heat have if it weren't for the and-1s? I've never seen a team hit so many of the shots they were fouled on in a half.

We better see the team that started the game to start the 3rd or this is going to be another what-if game.

[Yuckabuck33]

Imagine if we didnt miss those 5 bunnies in the paint and didnt let them live at the line the last 3 minutes. Shouldve ballooned to 20+ point lead but instead we gave them hope. They need to wake up!

We are not "letting them live at the line." The refs are not letting the Celtics play defense. In the regular season,  the Heat were one of the worst teams for committing the most fouls, the Celtics one of the best in committing the least. How is that continuously reversed in this series?
Because there is a double standard. The Heat should have 60 fouls called on them by now, including a moving screen on Bam on every play.

Ref agenda- keep it close, no blowout.
Mission accomplished

yup

i was thinking same thing

RATINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ratings will be terrible if we lose

they want ratings for this game

stevie wonder can see it

i agree, just saying if that's what they are doing they are playing with fire for the finals

[kraidstar]

Horford needs to wake up. And Grant needs to stop complaining and play. He has made some pointless fouls, and you can bet the refs will call every one of them.

[Mahk E Mahk]

celtics: 9 more shot attempts, 5 more made 3pt shots, better fg%, ft% is basically even, one less turnover, rebounds essentially even, but ft attempts are 8-22.

c’s aren’t playing their best but they are outplaying the heat in every facet of the game, they just aren’t beating the refs.

[hpantazo]

I don't get why, after 7 games, they still reach in and go for Butler's upfakes. Just force him to make shots.

TL has been terrible on switches and late getting in position this game. He looked like he was also mopping on the bench.

Yeah we are letting him and Lowry off the hook way too much.  Don't go for the fakes, challenge without fouling
make every shot difficult for them.

Yeah. We definitely made some sloppy mistakes, but the Heat are getting away with a lot of contact.

Gotta keep our composure and hope it evens out.

[jpotter33]

Good, force the issue. Make them close the foul disparity by forcing the action.

[Chief]

Quinn has a punchable face

[radiohead]

Miami har really clawed back. Ugh.

[jpotter33]

Just continue to leave points at the line, guys.
