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

This team blows chunks.

Well, I’m going to Game 3 in Miami on Sunday, but I didn’t expect this scenario.  Maybe the team will surprise me (in a good way).

FWIW, the last time I went to a playoff game was Game 5 of the 2008 ECF.  Maybe I can repeat my magical influence.

Going down 0-2 is one thing. Like the Lakers. But going down 0-2 with both those being in Boston is pathetic

Yeah this team ain't winning 2 straight in Miami. At best they'll be down 3-1. At worst, getting swept.

they’ll get swept. they’re mentally soft and won’t come back from this embarrassing beat down.

I can't even be mad at Miami. I wish we were like them. Lot of respect for what they are doing

Exactly.  I ain't mad at them.  I wish we played like them too.  Everything I wish we were

Robert Williams playing 23 minutes is a crime!

Cannot run this team back and cannot have Joe back. He is underwater.

Brown is a cancer. Selfish.

Before Game 1, Barkley went on and on about all the advantages the Celtics had over Miami, how the Heat would not be able to stay with Boston's "firepower." This is so bad. Weak and Weaker.

Talent wise it's a mismatch. But Miami just keep playing disciplined basketball. The Celtics don't.

Lose both home games in a row .

They don’t deserve anything but a butt kicking and sweep.

4-0 , would be nice ,  fire the owners and his wife and let Joe go back to Maine .

So thanks owners hope  you all got your revenge for Ime being human .

You just screwed Millions of fans .

The continued overreliance on Al when he's been atrocious on both ends is just mind-boggling.

Joe made some improvements in some aspects, but we're still at such a coaching disadvantage that it may be insurmountable. Overrelying on Al, not playing enough Timelord in his stead, not finding ways for his star player to get more involved in teh fourth, not even calling the timeout down 5 and ending up with a deep Tatum three for basically the season, etc.

Just a clown show. I don't know how you can bring him back next year if you're Brad, especially with so many good coaches on the market right now.

The C’s were done last series the only difference is Philly are chokers and couldn’t seal the deal. Guess that series was fools gold, you keep messing around and it will eventually get you.

I TOLD PEOPLE THAT THEY STAYED IN DENIAL

[kraidstar]

I want all these clowns gone. Time for a rebuild. Anything is better than this.

[CelticSooner]

I love seeing a team rewarded for playing the right way. Miami does that and the C’s rely simply on talent to do anything. A sweep here might actually do the franchise some good. Nobody is going to give you a free pass to a championship. You earn it like Miami are currently doing!

The Celtics can only win blowouts, but they lose every close game. Same thing against Atlanta first round and Philly last round too.

When MIA cut the lead to 6 with 4 minutes to go, they had the advantage.

This team becomes a PUDDLE when it's close late. They don't know how to function. And the coaching is also abysmal + there's inconsistencies all around (like why is Tatum taking only 2-3 shots in the 4th??)
