Petey, how do you underestimate the Heat and expect a 4 game sweep? I don't underestimate the Heat. A mature, locked-in Celtics team that plays together and with urgency should have no problem beating a Butler-less, Rozier-less, Richardson-less HEAT team. We're not losing because of the HEAT. We're losing because we're playing like we played in the 4th quarter in game one.

Robinson a 3
JT a DUNK!
Duncan an OF
Heat lineup change (Caleb Martin, Bam Adebayo, Delon Wright, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez Jr.)
JT runner off the glass tossed up expecting a foul but "no FTs for you!"
That ends Q3 ... 85-79 MIA

Q4: 85-79 BOS
Heat lineup change (Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson, Delon Wright, Haywood Highsmith)
JT makes 0-2 FTs
Wright a corner 3
Jrue a driving layup
Another in & out by C's
Hauser missing 3s now
Celtics lineup change (Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday)
BAM! And just like that it's 90-81 MIA (-9pts)
TIME OUT CELTICS ... 8:23 TO TURN THIS SHIP AROUND MAZZ!

Holiday has been horrible. Porzingis has been atrocious. And White has been nonexistent.
Two players in double-figures!
And here we go back to our old playoff ways losing games at home.
WE ARE NOT READY!

I am not pitching anything here. I think this is the path we have chosen for a while. ISO guerilla style of basketball. Let them coach themselves out there and figure it out on their own. Some will call that professional. I will call it fkn dumb. And our coach needs to go.

Petey ... we're losing because we're intimidated by the hacking and grabbing they are getting away with and our refusal to do the same to them. They are more energetic as well and in your face defense while we have been slow to close on the perimeter. Coaching has something to do with this as well.

Admin stop! Let's not place blame on officials.
MIA is making WIDE OPEN shots and we are not defending.
They are defending in our space and they are shooting wide open shots.
And we're getting NOTHING from 3 players.
The officiating doesn't factor in this game in any way. Please don't suggest it does.
COACHING has A LOT to do with it too.

They are more energetic as well and in your face defense while we have been slow to close on the perimeter. Coaching has something to do with this as well. well. We have tough guys in the bench. Svy, Queta and Brissete. None of them will ever be played. Give this roster to Spoelstra and he would cruise with the trophy

It's funny watching games one and two.
When we are up on a team, we have a tendency to stop playing, take our foot off the gas.
However, when we're down, we play with the type of urgency that we should play with when we're up big.
