BOTH FT MISSED

WOW TRASH

[CelticSooner]

Every time I see Tatum challenged at the rim on a fast break I just expect him to miss at this point. He goes up so soft.

[Who]

9pt lead. On track for a 36pt blowout win.

[Phantom255x]

Tatum with 2 points this quarter and already bricked 2 FTs too. Splendid

[jpotter33]

Horford air balls a 3.

Just imagine Hauser shooting that 3 instead of Horford.

Double big nonsense.

Mazzula special.  No reason to continue a double big lineup.  Especially against a Heat team that lacks size.  Even if it ends up working, it's still a bad coaching decision.

This. The double big lineup on its own is questionable, but ESPECIALLY against a Heat team that both (a) plays about as small as any team in the league already, and (b) is aiming to shoot tons of threes to try and win the game. Just no rational explanation for going double big, especially with a non-shooting big like Kornet.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Come on Tatum, another 0-2 from the line

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

this is celtics-sixers 2012 all over again

PUTRID games

slow boring

ZERO OFFENSE

[jpotter33]

My God, Tatum. Hit the dang free throws.

As my dad (my coach at the time) used to say to me when I missed a free throw in a game, "They're called FREE throws for a reason!"

[SCeltic34]

The defense is great, but the Heat are also shooting themselves in the foot.  We didn't play up to standards.  Poor.

[Silas]

Cs doing a good job of defending the 3pt line. 

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

we should be up 25 right now

pure trash game

[Neurotic Guy]

Really fine defensive effort to start this game.  12 points. 

Stretch this lead. Let’s go Cs. Js.  Sam - need to hit that. JT need to make free ones.

[hpantazo]

Despite the terrible offense, I'll take it. Fantastic defensive quarter. If we play defense like that nobody is beating us.

[SCeltic34]

I still can't wrap my head around the Kornet + Al combo.  It just doesn't make sense from any perspective.  We did not look good with that lineup.

Even the Al + KP combo isn't good.  Not against the Heat.  It failed miserably in game 2.
