Cs need to stop fouling Butler.
18 attempts for Jimmy is just too much.
Celts will be fine.
The Heat are not the better team. They just outworked the Cs in the 3rd qtr.

We won 3 of the 4 quarters. Unfortunately we lost the decisive 3rd quarter again, and we lost that VERY BAD.
I agree that we are the better team, but we need to show it all game long, not for one half. Otherwise we would lose this series. Our peak is better than Heat, but our low is lower than theirs. So I could say they are the more consistent team.

You're right, if the Celts don't play for 4 quarters, history will repeat itself and Tatum, Brown, Smart, and Horford will once again exit in the conference finals.

Good coach - he made adjustments at halftime Tough Defense - they forced several turnovers Clutch players - I'd rather face Giannis, without Middleton, than Butler.
Who was it who said this team is dangerous and not to be taken lightly?? Oh, yeah, hedley!!
Celtics in 7, unless Smart and Horford don't play, then Heat in 6!

Took me a while, but do you know who Butler reminds me of?
Do you guys remember Andrew Toney?
He's Andrew Toney, with great Defense. Toney was unstoppable once he got it going. Strong enough to score down low, and talented enough to create his own shot.
Butler reminds me of him.....................and Jimmy Butler will be tough for us to stop or contain this entire series.

Any further questions??

I'm beginning to think the NBA uses the Covid Protocols as some kind of self-imposed handicap to place on whichever team they want to see struggle.
Read this and tell me what gives: www.masslive.com/celtics/2022/05/celtics-al-horford-not-officially-ruled-out-for-game-2-vs-heat-its-not-a-definite-that-hes-out-for-2-games.html The Celtics found out Al Horford would be unavailable for Game 1 just hours before tipoff, according to Boston coach Ime Udoka. Horford is officially out because of health and safety protocols and will miss Tuesday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat. Marcus Smart is also out because of a foot sprain he suffered in the Game 7 win over the Bucks. It’s unclear yet if Horford will miss Game 2 against the Heat, which is set for 8:30 p.m. Thursday at FTX Arena. But the Celtics haven’t officially ruled him out yet.
Udoka said he won’t comment on Horford’s status on whether he tested positive for COVID-19 or not, but did say “he’s feeling fine.” Horford will go through further testing which will determine when the big man could potentially return to the court.
... the Celtics will need to rely on Rob Williams more Tuesday as the Heat employ the likes of Bam Adebayo and other physical players. Without Horford, the Celtics will have Grant Williams, Rob Williams and Daniel Theis as their big man rotation. But Udoka added that he could dip deeper into his bench to get some more rotation minutes from guys like Aaron Nesmith.
“If we want to go deeper into the rotation there, Aaron would be a guy to lean on,” Udoka said.
Admin Comment: This is starting to sound like a scam ... Nobody can argue with the rules imposed by the league so they can pull any player they want whenever they want w/o any evidence to back themselves up. Is there a player rep there when results are revealed in the lab doing the testing? Does Ryles know or pay someone off in the lab to target Horford? I don't trust the NBA anymore and I've never trusted Ryles! Something smells ...
pretty messed up.

And the whole safety protocol is very similar to what alot of "conspiracy theorists" were calling out for, control. But I am not going there, not in this board. But there you have it. Governments worldwide have created a monster.

Governments worldwide have created a monster. Unfortunately, you are already there.... right up there with the tin hat crazies!
Horford may have exposed the entire team to COVID in the last 24 hours.
That's the scoop.... and the league office is practicing due diligence by sitting him and not talking about medical issues.
I'm sure that team owners have been property notified and have signed off on how this is being handled.
If not, they would be yelling/screaming to high heavens.
If you are so concerned about the basic integrity of the league.... find another more respected sport to follow.
Maybe women's roller derby.

Agree. I'm not much of a conspiracy nut (except I think oil companies lower gas prices when Reps are President, but that's just me). The league has an obligation to tell us Horford can't play. I hope he did not expose anyone, since Brown is unvaccinated, but I don't believe Riley or the organization had anything to do with it

No Smart No Horford
No win.
40% of your starting 5 out = disaster.
I said the most healthy teams wins.
Middleton being out proved it last series..

Florida is doing just fine. Florida is to be mocked and ridiculed, until the people doing so need a vacation. they head to Florida, shed their useless masks and take in some weather, R&R and beach time. Then they come back and mock and ridicule Florida again
