Celtics (2-3) at Heat (3-2) ECF Game #6 5/27/23

[TheReaLPuba]

WE SHOULD BE UP 15

THIS CAN TURN BAD IN NO TIME

WE TAKE TERRIBLE DUMB THREES

3RD QUARTER WILL MAKE US OR BREAK US

We also miss WIDE open ones.

Bad combination.

Should be up at least 8 but Heat can’t stay this hot from 3….Celtics need to D the EF up!

9 offensive rebounds for Miami. And several 50/50s bouncing right to Miami guys for 3s

Honestly the 3rd really is the game.

But just keep playing tough defense. Hopefully the 3s fall a little better.

The abuse JB takes here is ridiculous.  11 points on 5-8. 6 boards. 2 steals. 2 blocks. I get the turnovers. I still want him in the game.

There is another side of the ball, too, and he was downright atrocious defensively, as he has been most of the season. Numerous miscommunications (along with White), as well as having no chance of staying in front of Vincent even on a bum ankle.

Offensively he's been good other than the forced shots and turnovers; it's the defensive end that he's truly killing us at.

I just want him to defend, like he used to.
His defense is beyond bad

SCRUBS ARE DESTROYING US  LIKE JORDAN AND BIRD

We hit a lot of 3s the last few games thanks to passing

Today it’s mostly pull ups early on and we’re missing

+1...he had two turnovers that were his fault, he had another where he was fouled.  he has taken good shots, he has moved the ball.
He had 2 def breakdowns, but that is pretty much everyone at one point tonight.

He got us off to a strong start, and that helped a LOT.

100%

Stop leaving their shooters open.

Clean the glass.

Those were their two problems in the first half. Fix that and we will win.

JB has to be smart with his defense. Can’t pick up a quick foul after the half.

YUP NO BALL MOVEMENT WE NEVER LEARN

Chuck isn't wrong. We should be up 11. Letting the heat hang around is recipe for disaster. See game 1 and game 2. And the Milwaukee series.

Hope we come out with a renewed focus on. The 3rd. If we can just heat up a little bit from 3 and Miami cools down we can take this

[celticinorlando]

Just an average close to the half and the Celtics are up double digits. But they took terrible 3s and brown had a big turnover to get this all started

3 TO in one half of elimination game is bad and Smart has the same.
