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

Tatum's 10 rebounds are nice but the Cs need him with 29points not 9points for the half.

He should've gone to the line 10 times not 0!

Turning point was in the 1st quarter where Jaylen was clearly fouled on his drive, but didn't get the call, and the Heat turned that into a fast break 3 by Strus. It turned what would have been a tie game into a 5 point lead for the Heat and they haven't looked back.

Also, getting absolutely nothing out of Brogdon when he is supposed to be our rock-solid, calming influence really hurt.

And, then, yeah, Jaylen going 2019 2nd round Kyrie certainly isn't helping.

Denver will beat the heat in about 5

Well a big part it’s because Denver offense is complex as opposed to ours which is all about the 3s with no plan B

[liam]

Tell em Charles! "the refs are awful, they've been brutal'

A blind man could see it! Disgraceful!

[Silas]

Chuck...so right, the Cs with a lack of mental toughness.

[Yuckabuck33]

Heat bench have played about twice as many minutes as our deep best bench in the league. Joe?

[celticinorlando]

Embarrassing.
Just an insult to the Celtics tradition

When Lowery grabbed his leg or the one after the leg grab? Hard to keep track of all the noncalls!

[radiohead]

I wish we get a coach who can maximize JT’s potential. This equal opportunity offense isn’t gonna cut it. He’s been doubled everytime and Joe has zero answers. Zero. Maybe this series is a blessing in disguise. Joe isn’t ready.

[liam]

This game is a joke...

[celticinorlando]

Turnovers. It’s the Celtics albatross. Has been for two seasons

[Who]

Jaylen 5-13 FG and 3 turnovers for 10pts. 16 possessions to get 10 points.

Tatum isn't much better. 4-11 FG with 2 turnovers for 9pts. 13 possessions for 9 points. Not as bad as Jaylen but still bad.

Our 3rd scorer, Brogdon, is 0-4 FGA. 0 points.

The three players have a combined total of 4 assists. Not scoring. Not creating. Bad offense.

[Silas]

Brogdon needs to show up and Brown needs to wake up.

[radiohead]

Wow Kenny just ripping Smart and Brown apart at halftime.

[kraidstar]

If we play with composure in the 2nd half we win. Our own panic is our worst enemy. When your mind is working calmly and efficiently. you keep your man in front of you. The see the opening to pass when a teammate cuts. You double team at the right time.

You make the other team uncomfortable with your resolve and strong decision making.

This is all mental.

Let's stop pressuring ourselves and just PLAY
