Only 3 guys from the bench today....30pts.  Sam,Al,and PP shot 8/16 from 3.

Let’s get game 2

4th quarter aside, it was a solid win. Style points don't count, just get the W.

That's where I'm at.  The bad 4th is good game film to learn from.  We easily survived it because we slaughtered them so badly in the first 3 quarters.  Got the W which is all that matters.

Good game 1 win.

It's easy when we shoot 45% from 3. It's the inevitable cold shooting nights I'm worried about.

[Kuberski33]

That might fire up the Celtics next game. Getting chippy.

best thing that could have happened.  We need to play with more of an edge, especially against the heat.

Agree with this. Scal post game thought it was a blatant cheap shot and blamed Spoelstra.

[Silas]

Easy win with JT only shooting 1/8 from 3.  Trip doub was real nice.

I’m glad we won but towards the end you could just see Miami gaining confidence and figuring things out a bit. Still think this is going to be a long series.

Talent disparity just to big. As long as Boston plays hard and not casual, they win going away.

[JSD]

15 to go, guys. 15 wins away

KP was freaking awesome - offense and defense.

Yeah i was wondering how he would respond to the pressure of this situation. But he looked like the most composed player on the court.

Those guys played really well.  PP was going after it on both ends, Sam draining 3's, Al barking at our team when we we dogging it.

I’m glad Delon wright used all his threes up in one game.

If Boston is engaged Heat have no chance

He practically tackled Tatum.  Someone was saying he got pushed into Tatum, maybe a little push, but he was moving at Tatum the whole time.   It looked cheap to me.   So glad JT got right up after, and glad that JB gave the little shove to Martin, IE you just tackled him, stop trying to help him up now you jerk.  We need to increase our level of physicality.  We need to tell other teams that tackling our #1 guy isn't ok.
