Heat (1-3) at Celtics (3-1) Game 5 4/27

[RJ87]

Seeing how Wade has alternated between great and awful shooting from 3 I hope tonight is a bad night. He's basically shooting as bad as Sheed how does he manage to go 5/7 and 5/8? Why can't Sheed catch fire like that?

Because Wade is actually trying?

Ditto.

[PosImpos]

good quarter. miami looks to be scattered on offense....and d wade doesn't look like he is goingto drop 45 plus tonight. gotta come out with the bench and get on it

You never know when Wade might get hot.  But the signs so far are encouraging aside from a few defensive breakdowns and some stupid turnovers.  Perk's looking good, though.  Hope he keeps it up.

Good FG % covered for the turnovers.

[FallGuy]

decent 1st quarter.  some defensive lapses and some dumb passes on offense but they came out with some effort tonight

No, they didn't. They looked lethargic all the way to the first timeout.

[celticinorlando]

Gotta say. I'm not impressed with how they came out tonight. Lifeless and sloppy for the first half of the quarter. Indifferent D throughout. Cleveland will eat them alive if they play that kind of D.

gotta to get to the cavs first. they turned it on at the end of the quarter

[radiohead]

Finally the crowd is alive! We just need to cut on the turnovers and play better D. Hopefully we break this game open and get the starters some rest in the 4th.

No, they didn't. They looked lethargic all the way to the first timeout.

compared to last game, there's some effort and a much better 1st quarter.  agreed it could have been better

[slamtheking]

Sheed's making an effort.  got a board and hustled up the court before this timeout

[fairweatherfan]

Feels like it's gonna be one of those games where Spoelstra is down to 1 timeout with 8 minutes left in the 4th.

[Drucci]

+10 with another caviar from Rondo! Keep it up and extend the lead while Wade is resting.

[Who]

decent 1st quarter.  some defensive lapses and some dumb passes on offense but they came out with some effort tonight

Surprising they finished the quarter up 8 given those mistakes

[Mr October]

Where's Nostradamus? ... I mean Bill Simmons?

[slamtheking]

Feels like it's gonna be one of those games where Spoelstra is down to 1 timeout with 8 minutes left in the 4th.

then that would be a very good sign for us 

[FallGuy]

Spoelstra knows his guys are in trouble. We could bury them in the next five minutes. They're ready to lose. We just need to be ready to win. Want to see more energy out of this timeout.

Also the crowd has reverted to a dull hum.

[celticinorlando]

want to see a 1-15 point lead at the half....miami doesn't look like they are attacking on offense. just kind of sitting back settling for the 15 plus foot jumper....need to knock them out
