Heat (36-30) at Celtics (50-18) 3/18

[celticinorlando]

why is anyone surprised? this has been a problem all year...up 15 on a team without wade and they QUIT...just like the QUIT last night when they got up big in the third...has nothing to do with injuries..it has to do with desire. they got up big and quit playing.....fools gold....

Nothing to do with injury.

LOL, that may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

really??? up 15 cruising with miami not having wade and they let miami do whatever they want to take over the game. quit using the injury excuse...tonights tank job has to do with letting miami have life...even Doc said that

[Change]

pathetic & garbage play. Where is the passion? Once again C's came out flat.

[crownsy]

sorry folks...but is has to do with the want to win...they don't have it. no reason they should have lost to the bucks, clippers, bulls or losing to the heat tonight without wade....going through the motions just ****ing around...had a chance to put them away but quit in the second quarter...this team is pathetic

you are out of your mind.

I don't care about your will to win, when you have 7 key players down due to injury and your running lineups out thier that include players who have never played together before because you have to rest your 3 remaining starters, your going to struggle keeping the other team from scoring.

I hate to break this to you, but as much as i rag on him, JO is still a really, really good player. Beasly is a really good player.

mikki moore and bill walker are not stopping them. its not happening. they can want to win all they want, once you lose davis and perk and miami starts playing JO and beasly in the post vs. moore and bill walker, you are going to give up open shots.

when you have to run out a lineup that has zero big men in it because you have no depth due to injuries, its going to hurt.

Two things:

A) Do you HONESTLY think they do not want to win?

B) if your answer to A is yes, then don't you think having KG back will help that just a bit? Which means yes, injuries do play a small role when you are playing 2 big men all game long.

This game isn't over yet... Let them finish the game before we crucify them tonight. Plus, Mikki and Steph haven't defended with KG yet. They'll be better when the reigning DPOY is back.

i am strictly speaking about tonight...there is no reason they should have stopped playing like they did...

Alright then. PM me when you wanna get rid of your tickets. I'll be glad to watch this disgraceful team of heartless losers play night in and night out.

a 33-15 quarter without d wade playing playing is unacceptable.

strictly speaking about tonight??  You just mentioned the bucks, clips and bulls in your previous post.


....and i do understand that Miami is without D-Wade, but not only are we without our D-Wade but all the other back ups at his position are injured.

So basically take out the rest of Miamis guards and we'll get to an even playing field

again, out of your mind.

were playing our 10th 11th and 12th men major minutes. to try to make out like this is just a desire issue is retarded.

TP.... there is a level of complacency in this year's team that wasn't there before. Same thing happens to all defending champs, unfortunately. KG's intensity is sorely missed.

The injuries are mostly to blame. The lack of desire to finish teams off is also a big part.

that will never happen...sorry but this is a frustrating team. yes injuries....but even doc said they are letting the heat back in the game because the energy wasn't there. this team tonight should be able to beat a wadeless heat team esp after getting a 15 point lead

[crownsy]

a 33-15 quarter without d wade playing playing is unacceptable.

im sure, as your saying, it has nothing to do with this lineup having to play for 5 minutes because pierce and rondo were sucking wind and perk was in foul trouble, keying a 12-2 run that extended to a 20-4 run as the starters checked back in out of rhythm.


eddie house (defensive captain)
marbury (3 practices, not known as a good defender)
gabe pruitt at the 3  
bill walker at PF, giving up 5 inches to beasly
mikki moore at C ( 3 practices, terrible shot blocker)

clearly all desire. nothing to do with the fact that miami isn't retarded and abused moore and walker with JO and beasly.

I just registered to tell you that I'm sorry but your comments are pathetic and not this team. I'm not gonna continue cause it's simply not worth it, I've been reading the boards for a while and you're always negative. Are you even a fan of the team??

Anyways...

Let's go C's! We can do this!

[celticinorlando]

how am i out of my mind when they are losing games because they don't play with the energy needed to win them? they get big leads and blow them...some of you guys think that when the playoff start all transgressions of the regular season are forgotten...i recall many on this board complaining when boston was healthy that they didn't finish well.....there is no guarentee that they will be 100 percent healthy come playoff time and boston has had a problem ALL SEASON letting teams back into games and not being able to finish teams off.

Come on crownsy, it's all desire... That's why even if this team started Eddie House's kid, Donnie Walhberg, and Matt Damon at the 3,4, and 5 they should still beat everyone.
