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

[PosImpos]

This is where we see what this team is made of.  If they can't close out this game with a series win in sight, then I don't have much confidence in them going forward.

Let's see some killer instinct.

That Chalmers offensive foul was bogus.

Yes, but it's one of those fouls that ultimately has no effect on the game unless Chalmers picks up more fouls in this last quarter.

Garbage foul on Ray unleashed the zone defense on us...which is death with TA.

[Neurotic Guy]

Miami with the momentum as they end the 3rd.  It will take another monumental performance by Wade -- but he's shown nothing to make me think he can't do it. 

[snively]

Couldn't ask for a worse way to play with a 21 point lead.

[mahonedog88]

This third quarter collapse can only be blamed on themselves.  The refs I will admit completely kept the heat in it in the first half.

But plain and simple, we got up by 21 and the Celtics just simply stopped playing, stopped caring and let the heat back into it.  That was absolutely pathetic.  If played right, they should be going into the 4th up by at least 15.

Doc should reem into this team regardless of a win or loss after this game.

yay RAy

[butterbeanlove]

RUn some picks for Ray and see if he stays hot. Can't be worse than anything else we've tried on offense lately.

[Neurotic Guy]

Second chances

Yeah man, exactly.  I'd been hoping they've saved it all up for the post-season.

[slamtheking]

cripes, a bonehead foul on BBD leading to a Wade bucket.

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

they're collapsing faster than I can type!!!!!

[Drucci]

Wade is heating up, we're in trouble.

[RJ87]

Wow. What a shock.

The regular season Celtics and the playoff Celtics are the same team.

We'll see.  The regular season Celtics would lose this game by 15.

Not necessarily - they'd beat Miami just like they did all year. They won a number of games where they squandered big leads. Just barely, mind you.

My point stands, I think. We're the same team we were all year. Very inconsistent. A couple ticks below championship level. I keep hoping I'll see something to change my mind. Tonight is really just more of the same.

Still think we'll win tonight though...

I disagree.
Opposing teams are going to make runs, its in how the team responds. If we can barely get it together and lose this game or squeak out a 1 pt win, then yeah I see your point.

[j804]

Rondos gotta dunk, he gets blocked to much!

[Roy Hobbs]

Way to go, Ray.

[nickagneta]

Nice Ray. We obviously need you this game.
