Heat (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 1 Game 1 4/17

We're getting the USUAL First Round RAY ALLEN so far.

Didn't he score 51 in a first round game and hit about 10 backs to the wall shots last year?

We're getting the USUAL First Round RAY ALLEN so far.

They're not getting him decent looks. They need to get him through picks for jumpers.

He's had at least 3 WIDE OPEN 3's....and BRICKED them all.....familiar.

He should be taking midrange jumpers. IMO.

[Neurotic Guy]

Pierce 1 for 4 and Ray 1 for 4 -- not bad looks either.   This is about the only good sign.  They will pick up offensively.

Doc never acnowledges the Hot hand....TA..tonight..sheldon way back against SA  (12 points in 11 min) or so..

Players actually have to rest during a game, you know.

I agree!!! So sit Ray Allen and let TA play while he's hot.

TA should start.....bring Ray off the bench.

[kozlodoev]

Miami's D is good but our offense just sucks, there is no passing at all, just one on one.

This is the time where Nate's needed, but Doc won't play him 'cause he is "not part of the rotation" although Rondo is not creating anything for the team, thus not helping at all.

No, he won't play him because Nate has been playing like garbage for 80% of his time here.

[Tai]

Enough Raja Flops please, O'Neal.

[celticinorlando]

as bad as the offense is the defense is worse....heat driving at will

[MaxwellSmart86]

Miami scoring at will.

[Who]

First 8 minutes -- 19 points

Next 12 minutes -- 13 points

It all started to go wrong when Sheed and Finley came into game. Then that four bench player lineup and suddenly there is no direction offensively ... and by the time the starters get back in, there is no flow to the offense.

[fanofgreen]

6 pts that Perk has given away so far because he has 0 competence on offense.

And don't forget Baby had 6pts. worth of shots swatted.

so thats a combined 12pts. lost

[Meadowlark_Scal]

kg is maybe thinking of the knee..?

[Drucci]

Ray's gotta make these wide open shots!

[JohnBagleyValueMeal]

We need Ray to hit those 3's. Bottom line.
