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

[slamtheking]

glad to see that Sheed was nowhere to be found in the 4th qtr

Yep.

This is ridiculous--it was a big win, there's no need to scapegoat the guy for anything. Sheed actually played very well. Miami went small and BBD went off, that was the only reason.

Agreed -- Sheed wasn't a problem tonight.  He played with some effort.

Ray, Perk and 1st half BBD were the downsides of the game

hey i called the turnaround..that should rate a few tp''ssss! Huh?

I got your back. TP!

CHEIFFFF, we always seem to agree on posts.....That is why you are the Chief.....the Cheif was always GREAT.....and he always had everyones back....! Yay for the CHEIF...! TP too

[celticinorlando]

rethinking the KG elbow...afraid he is going to sit game 2....they suspended howard last year for an in game elbow. this might be considered worse

[MaxwellSmart86]

is there really THAT much difference in Ray's defense and TA's defense?....Ray tries really hard, but Wade goes through him like a hot knife through butter----Wade looked scared of TA.

tirico is a bum...he lives in ann arbor michigan

Yea..he is bum allright...but what has living in Ann Arbor got to do with it?

[Slugger]

Tony Allen, MVP!!!!!!

Indeed.  And credit to Doc for leaving him in there.

[slamtheking]

Wow, Donny Marshall is actually saying something worthwhile in the postgame.

calls out the refs for not protecting PP while he was on the floor and taking Ray to task for not giving anything tonight.  that's a first

[Meadowlark_Scal]

for some reason some guys 9in my night league) play D on the sides of guys...TA stayed in front....of him...butt to the rim....NO LANE EVER...that is what TA did......no fouls either...... ray is our shooter...and layups...and more

Best part about this game was the emergence of some championship level defense by the C's.  Mediocre teams can't handle that and that's what the Heat are.  

The big question now is whether the C's can play this level of D consistently through the playoffs.  If they can, then it's going to be interesting from here on out.

that's my point. Sheed only played 14 min and BBD played 24. Sheed should have been benched along time ago, his minutes need to go elsewhere,  I think he should be playing even less, 10 min a game for that bum---BBD showed the guts & heart it takes to win along with TA, sheed cant be a problem if he plays limited minutes

[Chief]

Tirico was unprofessional in my mind as he was openly lobbying for a KG suspension. Of course, he can't do basic math so what do you expect. Tirico 75 from 81 is 6 not 5. Its called subtraction we teach it in grade one you jackass.

He was claiming a ref got pushed. Besides Q-Rich pushing Pierce into one, I saw nothing like that. I did see, J. O'Neal push about 5 people into Paul Pierce while he was on the ground. The same dirty thug that was a major part of the Malice in the Palace.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

KG looks like one of the BORG........KGkutus....!

[MaxwellSmart86]

Doc Rivers should have the brains and guts to Start TA and bring Ray off the bench to spark the 2nd unit......but it won't happen  

[Tenacious D]

Dunno about Sheed, he's still slapping at the ball as it goes through and not moving his feet, 1 rebound in 13 min. But at least he didnt force a ton of 3s. Perk definitely earned some pine.
