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

[BringToughnessBack]

Am I feeling… hope?

We have  hope and are due for a pendulum swing. Can we keep it going for rest of game?!

[#1P4P]

Tatum threes, pushing the pace on every possession, the defense forcing turnovers, Smart with the open three… this feels like a real momentum shift.

did they wake up?

THEY CANNOT PLAY HALF A GAME OF SMART BALL. THEY WILL CHOKE AND BLOW THIS

U THINK THEY CAN PLAY SMART 4 GAMES IN A ROW ?? 

LOLOLOLOLOL

NO MUCH LESS 3 MORE GAMES

Another excellent TO by Spo, and they've started aggressively doubling JT when he gets the ball. The others are simply going to have to hit those shots that he creates for them off the double team pass.

You mean after a 16-0 run?

Now they just need that for the next 13.5 quarters and they might have a chnce!

If the Jays wake up and play well together they can make this a series. Not win it but push it to 6 at least

Wow, actually a good TO by Joe. Saw JB was clealry going to turn that over.

But that's a microcosm of our offense: JT hits two threes in a row and looks to start a rhythm, and we don't find him on the very next possession on the fastbreak, instead going the opposite way. Frustrating.

The irony here being Brown managed to get off the ball without turning it over.

I think we can criticize Brown without crediting him for non-existent turnovers.

He was stuck in the corner on a double team right as Joe called timeout? Not sure what JB you all have been watching lately, but that's classic turnover JB at his finest.

He literally got the ball to Al BEFORE the timeout was called. I'm not saying he hasn't had some turnover issues, but saying he was going to turn it over when he literally didn't is... just factually wrong.

Just went back and rewatched it. They were calling the whistle right literally as he was passing the ball. Hard to argue that possession was going anywhere if no timeout was called.

Great defense

Brings a tear to my eye

Yessir!!

You can tell Harlan, Reggie and Stan are just waiting for us to pull away so they can hype us, they want this series to extend

[jpotter33]

Literally. Just play the defense we're capable of. That's literally all we have to do and we have the advantage. When you get the stops you can get the easier buckets on fastbreaks and not let them set their defense.

Sure, and I'm not arguing that. That's why Joe called the timeout. Not because "brown was about to turn it over." You used a little hyperbole, I get it.

Except he actually split the defense and passed to Horford. Why can't acknowledge reality? Unreal.
