Heat (15-15) at Celtics (26-7) Game #34 12/20/17

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Had an open shot just didn't fall.

Yup. He makes that shot 9 out of 10 times.

crap iso setup from start

[blink]

we can't expect to bail ourselves out of games where we score 35 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters combined.  when need some help on offense.  DA gotta use that DPE on someone please, someone that can score hopefully.

[CelticSooner]

Guess what? It's on to New York tomorrow in a game they will see as their Finals.

[Neurotic Guy]

Tatum needs to be taking 12-15 shots a game.

Great game by Kelly, props to him.

Smart and Brown were great in that 4th quarter.  They laid down the entire foundation -- hustle plays, rebounds, blocks/steals, finishes -- for a wide-open look at the end.  Unfortunately, Kyrie failed to complete the only task he is ever given.   

He's expected to take the blame in the post-game interviews -- "superstar."  Better be focused on the game and not how cute he looks in his mittens and matching hat.

should not have to come down to desperation final shots to beat a heat team like this.
I have to admit I am starting to wonder if our hot start was a bit of a fluke.

Nope... Irving is playing too selfishly right now.  Especially when down he becomes even morr selfish

Al horford plus Irving game is all that is happening right now

Instead of hitting the open man

Until this changes celts wont be as good as they were at the start of the season

i'm hoping this game makes them wake TF up

they could have lost the last 2 games easily

What was the last convincing win the Celtics had? Don't say against Memphis or the Nuggets either. Maybe the Pistons, but they had lost 5 straight already.

I'm not really that worried, you don't get worried about a young team that's grossly over-performing both their talent and point differential. But there are some issues that need to be sorted out.

some issues?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

good one

I mean, beyond the Hayward loss, we've also not had Morris for most of the year, which is much more of an issue than people realize. Having his offense and shooting would greatly help on these types of nights.

KO deserved this game. Good guy

Our former players really get up to play us.   He had one game like that for us.

One could tell that we were going to lose early in the second half.

Very disappointing loss from almost a G league team at home.

This is a just a bit biased.  Kyrie scored 33 points in the game, without him we are steamrolled.

How many times we gonna say this? Feel like we've been saying this for the past 3 weeks

Bro, this is non-sense. How many clutch points did Kyrie score tonight, like 10? It's not even close without him. If you want to complain about someone, complain about Al who was non-existent all night long.
