Celtics (0-3) at Heat (3-0) ECF Game #4 5/23/23

[Who]

I think Tatum plays better away from brown and smart.

I am thinking this more and more. That Jaylen subtracts from Tatum. That team moving away from Tatum during games is because these two are competing for touches & shots too often.

Done with the Tatum brown experiment.  Done.  They’ve had their chances.  Gimmie 10 guys that wanna ball.  Put these two guys on a pedestal for what?

BEEN SAYIN

EXPERIMENT IS OVER

BUILD AROUND JT

BYE MARCUS AND JAYLEN AND JOE

Do you watch the TNT halftime show or halftime with Scal and Eddie?

Sadly only one choice for me….TNT

Man this has been a really long season.

I hope next season is going to be different but I just don’t think it can be without big changes and Brad doesn’t have the balls to do that

[Indocelts]

I think Tatum plays better away from brown and smart.

I do not think brown wants to stay in Boston

Woj report today was talking about brown and smart

Smart is a role player who should be coming off the bench

Agreed.

Yes, we need stronger support and team to be built around one true superstar.

Brogdon's been killing us tonight.

He’s been an absolute turnstile all playoffs and a complete losing player in this series.

FANS SHOULD BE AT LOGAN WITH TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS WAITING FOR JOE AND BRAD AND WYC

[jpotter33]

Bet Joe makes zero changes at half while Miami coach makes a few. It is not looking good barring a Sixers Tatum 2nd half explosion but they double him every time he touches ball and we have no pg that can maestro anything. Dont even see basic things like pick and rolls. We are pathetic

No, it's all iso and "by myself" offense. There's been flashes of better passing, but it's always fleeting.

And even if Tatum does go off, Spo will adjust, take the ball out of his hands, and we're screwed.

Yep. Ever since the 51 point game from Tatum brown has checked out and played hero ball.

Tatum is better away from them

[NextCeltic34]

There's no way these guys can work together again at this point

[Who]

I am thinking of Nash and Dirk -- how they both blossomed into MVP candidates once they were separated from each other.

Dirk needed Nash to go so that he would take a bigger role in the offense. So more of the offense would run through him in the post.

Nash needed to go so he could be the main man somewhere else with a system built around his strengths.

BROWN HAS CHECKED OUT

[Neurotic Guy]

Fitting end to the half on the wide open miss by Smart. Miami’s defense has been throwing Cs offense off all series. This series has been a train wreck.  I always wish and hope but expecting Heat to pull away eventually. 

[86MaxwellSmart]

Way better energy and effort, but missed FTs  and turnovers killing us once again....Oh and Refs SUCK--that was a BS call on the Tatum offense foul.
