Celtics (0-2) at Heat (2-0) ECF Game #3 5/21/23

[Banner18now!]

Sweep coming. Blown out tonight guaranteed I see these guys quitting. Came come back with the same coach and players next year.

[RPGenerate]

Horford isn't a starter in this league anymore. His defense is woeful. Dude is getting blown by on a consistent basis. Finding his eventual replacement should be a priority this off-season.

I think it’s over fellas.  Miami shooting over 60%
…and we have Hofford and Smart taking 3s.  How is that a winning formula

[Phantom255x]

Can't wait to come out of this break with some Smart long 3 or Horford fadeaway 3 

[Silas]

They’re losing this game on the defensive end. What the hell is happening? Not even trying to defend

Refs are making it tough for the Cs to play D.

Flat out no show from the jump

[ozgod]

Nothing about our performance that deserves praise.

We’re getting poor shots, missing them, playing soft defense, giving substandard effort, and whining too much.  This ain’t it.

The whining is what proves to me that their minds aren’t in it. When you start blaming external reasons for why you’re playing so badly

100%

Celtics have quit

It looks like it.  Shades of the last Kyrie team against Milwaukee.

He did pretty well against Embiid but struggles against quicker players

[radiohead]

Every night a different role player steps up for Miami gotta give them credit, they looked terrible in the regular season but look great now. Makes a mockery of the seeding system really

Apparently Spo put a new system in place during the regular season. They didn’t mind losing games at the expense of perfecting the system. Now they’re reaping the benefits. Hats off to Spo.

[Phantom255x]

The C's losing this series and not reaching the Finals despite the path they had (and injury help) to me is still gonna be more embarrassing than the Bruins losing first round despite their historic season.

This team is Charmin soft, and it starts at the top with the coaching staff. We're also not appropriately built around our superstar Tatum.

Time to clean house.

[Who]

If we lose tonight I think I'd prefer we get swept.

Maybe that will open their eyes and lead to some changes in roster and/or coaching staff

Agreed.

[ozgod]

They’re totally rattled. Miami sense blood
