Heat (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) ECF Game #1 5/17/23

[Phantom255x]

Spo would have called timeout as soon as the lead was cut to 3. Joe just waited until MIA briefly took the lead, and when it's tied later on...

[RJ87]

We were up 14 like 2 minutes ago JFC

The Jaylen Brown effect.

I said what I said.

50% of our turnovers from him. Not good

I want JB to be great. I really do.

But he kills us sometimes and tonight seems to be one of those nights.

Crowd was audibly yelling to Mazzulla to call a timeout there.

Just unbelievable. And this isn't high-level stuff either. It's basic coaching.

[PAOBoston]

Miami's scored on 8 straight possessions now

Easy to score when Cs play no defense. Miami shooting 60% from the floor, 50% from three.

Butler is good but he's not on the level to get the star treatment he does.  Don't get it

[Indocelts]

Cs just don't get back on defense quick enough to stop a fast break. Long passes kill them.

[Phantom255x]

Go on a run right now

[CelticSooner]

Mazzulla with the fake throw lol

[blink]

So when are we going to start playing defense?

that is what I want to know.
If we play our best def, we can beat this team.

Brown is a very good player, but he shouldn't be tasked with doing too much. He has put in an extreme amount of work to become the player he is today, but he still kind-of lacks the natural basketball instinct that so many other players have.
