  2. Heat, +18 from the 3pt line… that needs to change in a hurry if they wanna win.

  4. Tatum has been pretty good scoring so far, but he needs to move more the ball. Our 3s has been pretty bad shots because we don’t move the ball

  6. They’ve hit everything, we’ve hit nothing. If it balances out even slightly we win this. Come on boys!

  7. There is a significant lack of ball movement I was seeing for the last two games.

  9. Regression of our 3PT shooting about to hit the Heat like a MFer in the 3rd

  10. That’s the half we want. We knew they’d throw a punch. They’re shooting the lights out, we’re shooting terrible from three and still up. We knew this would be a grind. I believe.

  11. It’s a miracle we have a lead with our shooting and Miami not missing. I don’t think either is sustainable so cautiously optimistic

  13. Jaylen gotta get some self-awarness man. This is no time for the your turn, my turn shit

    Also, refs tryna clutch it up when they realized the Heat were starting to fall behind 😩

  14. Smart brown and Tatum are on but the others really aren’t. We need a path to success and it might just have to be riding off our stars

    The game is so much less stressful when white or grant can hit shots though but tonight’s not gonna be that type of night

  15. If we can just start hitting our 3s we run away with this game. We’re just super cold from there and they’re super hot. Maybe the script will flip in the 2nd half

  16. 3/15 vs 9/15 and still up 4, you have to think those numbers will even out a bit

  17. You know when our 3s fall, when we play suffocating defense and run in transition. Game 5 Defense is way we win this game. Can’t put it all on Tatum to keep scoring while we shit the bed on the other end.

  19. If the Celtics can finish the game with more points than the Heat they’ll have the best odds on winning, they should just go and do that

  21. Jaylen single handily zapped our momentum with that offensive foul, whats new. Its every game with this kid calling his own number every trip down the floor. Possessions go to die whenever he gets the ball

  22. We need JB shooting not driving. Hopefully Rob is okay. We’re gonna live or die by Tatum so y’all chill about any bad shots he takes.

  24. Seriously though, if Rob is hurt, we’re fucked. Gonna need JT to go nuclear this game and the next if we want to win this series.

  27. The block on butler being a foul is fucking disgusting….not gonna forget that BS

  29. That pregame interview jinxed DWhite. That really sucked. We need him or Smart to hit some threes or for Tatum to finally hit some.

  30. “It’s over”

    “We’re back”

    “It’s so over”

    “We’re so back”

    “It’s so fucking over”

    “We are so fucking back”

  31. This is a Tatum carry job currently. Hes gonna be gassed in the second half so the other players need to step up. JB started off hot and I got faith in him to continue.

  32. Would really appreciate one of those third quarters where the C’s steamroll

  33. Yeah JT got 25 but the ball movement dead. We won last two thanks to movement dont give the D plays off

  34. Where’s brown? He went off to start and hasn’t done anything since

  35. I get that its cool that Al can spot up for 3’s but it is very annoying to watch caleb martin pull down 9 uncontested rebounds.

  37. The communication on defense needs to step it the hell up.

    Wide open threes, sagging off guys like Vincent and Caleb. The Cs should be up more

  38. We have a lead without hitting a ton of 3s. That’s hopeful. Defense needs to tighten up second half

  43. Heat have 18 more points from three on the same number of shots. They *should* cool down, but that hasn’t been happening this series.

  44. They’re up and can fortunately fix plenty. Need more movement off ball, need more passing but most importantly need to guard the line. Almost every stat says they should be losing and that will catch up with them if they aren’t better in the 2nd

  45. They’re shooting a ridiculous 60% from 3.. even if they come down to 45% from 3 in the 2nd half, we take this one
