  5. Probably sounds counterintuitive but if you attacked Jimmy and Bam to begin the game and got them in foul trouble… then Miami would be forced to sub them out a play worse defenders.

  7. Not playing Grant when getting crushed by offensive rebounds is fucking malpractice

  8. Can the Celtics just take a page from the Heat’s playbook and hack at the ball if the refs aren’t going to call it?

  9. Bam should have just disengaged that clinch on Tatum with an elbow. Tatum broke free with his hands down. He could’ve stopped the fight right there. Herb Dean was ready.

    Oh wait this is basketball and not MMA so why is Bam allowed to fucking hug dudes on screens?

  12. 4 fouls to 1, Rob gets pulled on an offensive board ref did nothing, Jaylen got clobbered by a tiny Vincent, red nada, Tatum hacked, ref not even looking but heat players go “ahhhhh” and it’s a foul

  14. I remember all the shouts. Jaylen Brown will never be a better basketball player than Jayson Tatum. Brown is absolutely awful

  17. JB’s can’t dribble well enough to blow pass the Heat interior defense, always settle for mid range J.

  18. They are not calling the same contact a foul on both sides right now…

  21. Our biggest issue is Al missing threes he normally makes gumming up our 5 out offense. The solution should be to play Grant but Joe seems to hate him so idk

  24. I’m sorry. The heat look like the much better team right now. Just the eye test. They shoot it better. They’re rebounding better and they move the ball better.

    This isn’t looking good.

  25. I’ve never seen a coach adjust to a small team by going even smaller. But I guess that’s mazzulla ball for you.

  26. JB has been straight up bad. Getting cooked on defense and taking horrible shots

  27. cant believe people think tatum has a lower floor than brown. i love JB, but when he’s off, he’s a total liability on BOTH ends. at least tatum is reliable as a defender both on and off ball if he isnt hitting shots

  28. Could use Grant on Love. Love is past his prime but still a generationally great rebounder. Smart is not going to be able to box him out

  29. Funnily enough for the more “cerebral” guy Brown is constantly outclassed by Tatum’s basketball IQ.

  30. Offensive game plan looks like no plan. Iso take turns driving it into miamis defense. Great plan Mazulla

  39. Man, if the team was as soft as some of the fans here, we’d be in contention for the top pick every year
