Pritch and Haus played 34 combined minutes and didn't score. I sense that will improve. Only 45 1/2 hours of rest though

Y'all are arguing with someone who is doing the message board equivalent of George Costanza taking his in-laws to the very tip of Long Island. Bam Adebayo could say in the post-game that he wanted to injure Tatum and the poster would still argue the other side.

For me, this post has made the all the absurd back and forth worth it.

Any road playoff win is a good one. End this on Wednesday, I’m so done with this shitstain Heat team.

Just finished the TNT broadcast and all I can say is …. wasn’t Bam Adebayo great tonight?

If that poster moved the goal posts anymore, he'd be electrocuted on Route 1.

Is van Gundy going to do any other games going forward.. cause for whatever reason he hates Tatum and the Celtics.. and talks incessantly about how much he loves the Heat.. I'm not sure which of him or Reggie Miller is worse.

Tonight was as bad as I have ever heard. He was far worse than Miller.

Only positive is that this didn't happen later... they can finish the heat without him, but they're going to need him in later rounds.

My last season coaching tennis my #1 player wore a walking boot around campus the last two weeks of the season for protective reasons and didn’t miss a match. Didn’t win a match either but that’s because he wasn’t very good, moved fine though!

A walking boot doesn’t mean a ton without more info.
Yah, given everything we already know, you would expect him to be in a walking boot.
. Woj said he it’s is believed he avoided an Achilles injury and will get more testing tomorrow. Likely a calf strain, just not sure of the severity.

Yes but PLAYERS still do it every single time. Are you saying that they don’t?
My impression is that NBA players generally respect each other, so I hope that their first priority in post-whistle challenges is to not come anywhere close to injuring their opponent. If it's not their first priority, it should be.

What do we hope for?

Best case: strain of some sort?
Middle case, still get him back for Finals, a sprain of some sort

Worst case: any type of tear or fracture

Is this right?

The most likely scenario is that Stan is overcompensating for the fact that his brother works for the Celtics. Stan is, undoubtedly, rooting for the Celtics to win the title.

They need to. Going back to Miami -- and the refs -- is asking for 7 games. Just finish this shit out.
Game 2 aside.. this team has been excellent at home. I would expect the crowd to be very loud and for the Celtics to come out hoping to close it out. If they get up early I could see the Heat fading...for once.

Based on listening to him talk it would seem it's more of a sibling rivalry.. especially since I don't think he thinks he can say enough negative things about Tatum.

No. I’m saying if they undercut a shooter they deserve a flagrant.
Jesus so do II!!! Go back and read what I said. My point was that yes he contested hard but his intention wasn’t to land in his space…..and none of this happens if Tatum doesn’t try to get a shot off. It was a bang bang play….all instinctual reaction. There is zero chance there was time to think hey maybe I can injure Jayson if I slide my foot under there. It was going to be a tech or a F-1 depending on how the rule read which was clarified upthread.

Agreed with you. It has to be this game. They've had so much bullshit with the Heat in the last 5 years. Just fucking end it. Stomp on them.
