Heat (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) ECF Game #2 5/19/23

Whether it's Tatum or Brown, someone always has these 1-10 kind of starts and it hurts us early in games

Against a team like Miami or Den/LAL, that'll hurt us big time

Being out hustled and out worked so far. JB might not know the game started as well. Should maybe look to get JT the ball and some shots.

You'd think our coaching staff would recognize this and adjust...

JTJB

Just Trade Jaylen Brown

lol....and we should have traded Tatum when he was 1-10 the other game.
Come on.

So tired of this "random" offense.  Still too much iso/hero ball.  Nothing in the flow of the game.  Everything is forced

14 pts with 2 mins to go is pretty bad

[jpotter33]

So, do the refs just literally look the other way when all these moving screens occur or what?

Call Lowery face guarding Williams!

pass ball to open man

stop the iso crap

the fact this coach cannot demand that shows he is soft and cannot do this job

They are looking right at them!!!

[PAOBoston]

This team is broken. 14 points with 2 mins left in the quarter. Just pathetic.

[celticinorlando]

EVERY player just chucks 3s instead of going inside

This series is over in 5. Celtics getting outworked, out coached and out played in every aspect of the game.

Ball movement is so much better on the heat.  They look like they know what they're doing on offense.

[Phantom255x]

The Heat, Spoelstra and Butler are on this team's heads. It's clear

One thing I have been wondering about since Jaylen made the All-NBA team is: Obviously, scoring more points and lifting his ppg 20 27ppg has been great for Jaylen in terms of his individual fame and recognition but has it really improved the team?

Is the team better today with Jaylen scoring 27ppg than it was when Jaylen was scoring 20-22ppg? Is the team better off with Jaylen taking those extra 5-7 FGAs rather than having them spread out among the rest of the team?

I mean we have one of the deepest teams in the league. We have 7 guys who are average to above average starters and an 8th guy in G Will who is a high end bench player to low end starter. Plus quality deep bench beyond that.

So is the team really better with Jaylen takin those extra 5-7 FGAs or would it better with Jaylen scoring 20-22ppg and the team sharing those 5-7 FGAs around the rest of the team? Taking a more team based approach.

I mean, Jaylen's scoring efficiency in the regular season was still around league average. It is not like he is a hugely efficient scorer that is far more efficient than the guys around him.
