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

[Atzar]

Rushing a few things that we don't need to.  The Jrue airball was especially bad - he flung it like he thought the clock was expiring (it wasn't). 

But we're getting a ton of wide open looks.  Those will fall.

Do not like that quarter

[blink]

we need to make it harder on the Heat when they have the ball.
That first 5-6 minutes was exactly the intensity we need on def.
Ever since we got the big lead, we softened up WAY too much on defense.
Giving them easy transition layups, easy drives to the rim.   
Got to be better defensively.   

And yes, shoot less 3's hahaa.

As I feared on Friday, we are getting punished by Jaime Jaquez Jr.

SAM "GORDON HAYWARD" HAUSER!!

[SCeltic34]

$am Hau$er

[Chief]

About time

[Atzar]

Please, do keep leaving Hauser all alone on the perimeter.  How considerate of you, Miami.

[Phantom255x]

THE BOOMHAUSER!!!

[celticinorlando]

Miami is going to just blitz Tatum every time. Tatum is going to have to be patient and distribute

[Silas]

Sam and PP are on...

You fear Jaquez Jr?  Lol.

[Neurotic Guy]

Really glad to see this start to the 2nd for Sam!  Missed a couple he should make in the 1st which got Heat back in it. 

[Phantom255x]

Please Miami. Keep playing the zone and leave our guys wide open. At some point it’ll also get open for the Jays and Porzingis too while they scramble

[jpotter33]

Lol we all complain about the extraordinary amount of threes, and then Hauser comes out and hits three straight threes.

I mean.... yes, many of those are open and will likely start falling at some point, but 21 threes in 14 minutes of gametime is just not a sustainable strategy.
