April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat
- Thread starter Ale Xander
- Start date
I'm heartened CJM took a break from his Fenway heist plan to work on his 4th qtr Escape the Garden with a win plan.
Get a 34 pt 3q lead

Any injury is on CJM. Playing with fire every minute key players are on the court with the Heat when they don't need to be. Dirty team.
How was that not intentional? He flung himself into Tatum and didn’t even try for the rebound at all.
Agreed. It was very dangerous, but it seemed like he was going up, hit Tatum, and kind of folded under him because Tatum is that much stronger.
Yeah. I don’t think it was either. Don’t really think he saw Tatum and was just going up for the rebound.
Or, like, a couple minutes ago. I get that it isn’t a 30-pt lead, but starters shouldn’t be in right now
Have you ever seen someone sprint and pick up speed 5 feet from the hoop down 16 with a minute left?
100% dirty. He went in to slam Tatum.
On the contrary, I really liked finishing with the starters. There should be a consequence to that run*.
* never got under 13 points I think lolol

Not sure how you can tell that.. to me it looked like he jumped into Tatum.. unless he didn't know he was there I guess?
Shocker that the Heat would try some dirty-ass play late. Coach Spo talks softly but he was hand-picked by Riley who was a dirty SOB as coach.
They’re allowed to dick around a bit up 30+. Can’t win every game by 50. End of the day that was a fucking beat down. It ain’t 2023 anymore.
He didn’t see him? Is he a horse with blinders on? Reckless play by Martin, he barreled in like Rodney Harrison
The full angle of it is weird, MArtin is running in, looks like he trips or something, throws off his timing to jump and he just kind of stumbles into him.
Hard to believe that a professional basketball player would have so little body control and spacial awareness. Martin threw himself into Tatum’s lower body while Tatum was in the air.
Looked more reckless than intentional, but still a shit play in a game that was over.
Next game isn't till Wednesday nite. They'll have plenty of time to rest up.
They almost took out 2 starters on the Celtics. The Heat will need better effort in G2 to make them leave the game for good.
On the replay, the beef between Brown and Martin was simply because Caleb extended his hand to help Tatum up.
The Heat definitely play over the edge but that was just two guys playing hard and colliding imo.

You know their job is to downplay those things.
you also know the game—you cannot undercut a guy at that angle AND there’s no basketball reason to be low at that angle. Can’t do it in pickup, can’t do in the nba. Full stop
