[Roy H.]

Unacceptable.  Just p--- poor focus.

Nothing ever changes with this team

[Phantom255x]

If we're just going to exchange baskets the rest of the way, it's over

[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.

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.

Agree wholeheartedly. He's an athlete, but not necessarily a basketball player. And it shows at the most inopportune times.

Phantom calls

[SCeltic34]

31 to 18 quarter so far.  Not acceptable.

[jpotter33]

Another ridiculous call. White was straight up. The defender gets to jump straight up. It's an offensive foul if the offense goes into a straight up defender.

[JSD]

How is the Jimmy Butler constantly gets away with that upfake.

Just stand there with your hands up and let him take the shot, if he hits it live with it

[angryguy77]

Phantom calls

They're doing this to keep the game close. It's blatantly obvious

[SparzWizard]

They just spotting Miami a 1-game lead so their backs feel like it's against the wall so they can counterstrike

[Neurotic Guy]

Should have put it away this quarter.  Nope. And Smart is playing full of himself now.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

NOT SURE U CAN WIN  TITLE WITH THESE MELTS OUT OF NOWJERE

TOO MUCH TO OVERC OME

[Phantom255x]

White hasn't given us much lately

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Unacceptable.  Just p--- poor focus.

JOE MUST BE FIRED REGARDLESS WHAT HAPPENS REST OF WAY

[Yuckabuck33]

All the hallmarks of a poorly coached team. Low effort, mental mistakes, lack of teamwork, losing leads.
