Heat (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game #1 4/21/24

If Tatum did not get hurt in Game 7 last year, we win that game. SIGH

Eh I don’t think so.

We were rolling hot on fire winning 3 straight and applied pressure to Miami after they led series 3-0. C's win that series and would have made history at least.

Jrue playing great defense but he’s missed 4 on the rim

hes been good on the boards and played great defense.

[SCeltic34]

Big Al 10 points and 7 boards in 19 mins.  Old man still got it.

Hate these announcers making excuses for Miami.  How about more praise for the best team in the NBA.

The Heat were mediocre to begin with. If they'd put up a better record they aren't in the play-in and maybe Butler never gets hurt.

So yeah, they're undermanned, but it's their own fault for mailing in the regular season.

[Atzar]

Bam moves his feet like an offensive tackle and Tatum runs into him.  He flops, call on Tatum.

I hate this crap. 

[SparzWizard]

"And the Heat making a little run"

CP3 drains a 3 to cut the deficit to 42 points! 

[Goldstar88]

Getting lazy with the defensive effort..

Bam with another moving screen!

[jpotter33]

Tatum one assist away from the triple double, but with only 17 points. I think that's probably what we'll need/see from him this playoffs given our team's needs and how other teams guard us always doubling him.

You do wonder if that will change how teams eventually guard us. It's not as simple as doubling Tatum on this team.

[jpotter33]

Bam is by far the most avid offender of the moving screen that I can ever remember. He moves on literally every screen and barely ever gets called for it.

[kraidstar]

Why do the refs let Bam blatantly cheat on screens? I swear those plays lead to 75% of their points.

[Phantom255x]

You can't make this up. The Heat are down 32 and Doris is praising "Heat Culture" for still playing out there??? 

[perks-a-beast]

Uhm can Tillman get some minutes or?

[RJ87]

I selfishly want the triple double but I also want him to sit the rest of the way.

[blink]

if Horford or KP did what Bam just did to DWhite, that is a foul for sure.
Textbook moving screen and laid him out on the floor.  Call the freaking foul.
