Heat (10-12) at Celtics (18-4) Game #23 12/2/22

[SCeltic34]

That was some shot by Butler.  He's been hitting every clutch shot

[Roy H.]

Butler ices it.

[MattyIce]

Tatum has played long enough to know when it's not his nights to take those.

*should

[letsgoblue86]

Butler thoroughly outplayed Tatum tonight, and that's the difference.

Butler has had a 2 week rest so he’s fresh.

[liam]

Butler ices it.

refs baked the cake and Butler iced it!

[slamtheking]

that JT three was lazy....
we need to attack, move the ball...if we take a 3, take a rhythm 3 not an ISO one

yup, horrible shot choice.  he's been giving us nothing on offense tonight

[SparzWizard]

Butler with the dagger. Well, glad it was this and not Game 7 down the wire.

[RPGenerate]

And that's the game. Butler has scored on Horford everything single time he's switched onto him, and we've done nothing to change.

[Sophomore]

They had a lot of chances, abut they let Miami dictate how they played offense. Iso ball on a night Tatum didn’t have it.

[SCeltic34]

I hope we face the Heat in the playoffs.  I'd love to eliminate them again.  They can't beat us in a 7 game series.

[Silas]

JT 0/7 from 3 really hurt.

[slamtheking]

3 OT games this year, 3 losses

[blink]

so frustrating after we made it to Overtime.....uggg

[Silas]

Tough loss.

[Somebody]

Heartbreaking loss, but if this is our worst basketball we're in a fantastic place. Tatum needs to have better game sense though - he's been pampered way too much and needs to learn how to defer to others when he's having an off night.
