How hard is it to give Miami credit? They look (and have been) MILES better. This isn't Joe, this isn't whistles. I hate it as much as anyone but the truth isn't about dicking around happy joy feelings. It's reality.
They've been playing great but also getting every single call with a ton of non-calls on their end.

How is that not Butler initiating the contact?

Smart does that, Jaylen does that, Tatum does that, and they never, ever call it.

Once again tho you need another scorer. And Jaylen has some sort of mental block right now. This is a pretty critical game for him to show he can actually be the second star when needed

I have much more to say about this but you’re never going to admit any of it. All I can say is that when your response to PP being an awful substitution and that he sucked ass is “I have to watch the film, I don’t know” (just because Joe made the choice, if someone argued that PP should play in a thread before the game you would fucking roast them) but you’re more than willing to say another player sucks in a game thread and then cite single game +/- to prove it …there’s an agenda dude
actually I criticized his second stint in the game thread, I believe I said I'd have to see how much of an impact he had since it was 12 minutes of mostly score-neutral time. If you can't understand why it's easier to see when your high usage #2 guy playing 38 bad minutes where the team is getting smoked in his minutes is easier to identify the impact of than 12 minutes of a very low usage player in a mostly fairly neutral stretch, then i don't know what you're watching.

Folks will look up and see only a 9-6 foul disparity, and 7-3 in free throw attempts.

But folks won't recognize that the C's have 26 shots inside the arc, because they are attacking to 17 for Miami, and the C's have 7 offensive rebounds to 0 for Miami, but if you let one team reach and slap constantly, and never call them for it, it's hard to score.
And Robs at 4 minutes due to foul trouble when there were 2 awful calls on him and we had to use a challenge on 1.

The announcers continually saying “you can’t complain about the officiating” is a massive tell

This team does not need another scorer. That cannot be an excuse. They have the Sixth Man of the Year and White, who might have won it himself had Smart not been injured. And Williams off the bench! Miami is scoring with Caleb fucking Martin and Duncan Robinson ffs.

Brown seems to be completely one dimensional, and when he can't score, he's zero dimensional.

Yelling at him as he’s on the ground because Jimmy knocked him over. But I guess that’s just competitive spirit to Lipsy Miller

where I was last at
Celts get called for reaching in. Heat are coached to be "handsy" strip the Celts again and again and seldom get called.

Is what it is.

But probably doesn't mean shit tonight.
