1/25/24 at MIAMI: The Heat is Off

[Imbricus]

When you've got three Heat players collapsing on Porzingis in the paint, someone's gonna have a wide-open shot.

 

[ifmanis5]

Is it my imagination or does Tatum get pushed into the second row a lot on his break away chances?

 

[Ale Xander]

Most points allowed by the Heat in any quarter this season

 

[SteveF]

True shot attempts even. Celtics -2 on TOs, +1 on Orebs which is remarkable given they haven't missed too many shots.

 

[Ale Xander]

Missed two straight shots cmon guys

 

[ifmanis5]

"It all comes down to execution" aka, 'don't blame me.'

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

PP destroying Duncan Robinson is chicken soup for the soul

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bam literally can’t set a legal screen. Can’t do it.

 

[SteveF]

I think I have some kind of prejudice against these Kornet/Horford lineups because of the easy looking middies it gives up, but I don't think it's actually been that bad.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Rozier is really going to fit in with the Heat like a hand in glove, isn't he?

 

[RSN Diaspora]

JT has had a couple of uncharacteristically bad bricks…and then he does that.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Bam literally can’t set a legal screen. Can’t do it.

Frustrates me to no end.

 

[dhellers]

Would you say that Hauser >> Robinson, but not >> than Herro?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I enjoy it when the C's shoot >60% from the field.

 

[Euclis20]

Feels like every weird bounce is going miami's way (starting with the opening tip, never seen that before) and Tatum is back to tossing up bricks from behind the arc. Very nice start considering.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Josh Richardson is putting it upon the C's, but he's the only one.

 

[SteveF]

Denver feeling the other side of shot variance tonight in NY.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Blow this clownshow out.

 

[benhogan]

Tatum settling for mid-range fadeaways is sub optimal

they can get any shot they want

 

[osori]

Kornet made 2 rotation mistakes in 1 defensive posession...

 

[Helmet Head]

Celtics d sucks tonight

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I'd like to see some more stops.

 

[bohous]

Celtics d sucks tonight

Fortunately Miami's is worse

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Seems like a good time for a time out, no?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The fucking bounces are killing me.

 

[Ale Xander]

Heat culture sounds like a bacteria breakout.

Cmon Celtics, defense please.

 

[JCizzle]

Unfortunately the game didn't end after the 1Q.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Every loose ball seems to fall right into the Heat's hands.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Tatum and Brown behind the play again.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

The fucking bounces are killing me.

It’s unbelievable.

 

[patinorange]

Celtics d sucks tonight

Holiday is a statue.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Some bad ball-bounce luck in the past few minutes helping fuel the heat.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Feels like every weird bounce is going miami's way (starting with the opening tip, never seen that before) and Tatum is back to tossing up bricks from behind the arc. Very nice start considering.

Have we got a 50/50 ball yet? Celtics are scoring so effortlessly they’re letting up on D a bit.

 

[Imbricus]

Argh, frustrating. They play good defense, then no one is there to grab the deflection/rebound/blocked shot.

 

[SteveF]

Miami just getting up more shots this quarter. 18 to 13.

 

[Helmet Head]

Shooting a million percent and only up 7. Reminds me a bit of last Friday against the nuggets . Hopefully it ends better

 

[Helmet Head]

That is a terrible call in our favor. Truly awful

 

[The Mort Report]

Wow that was an awful call

 

[osori]

GOOD GAMBLE

 

[JCizzle]

What a great read by JB.

 

[Ale Xander]

JB!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

GOOD GAMBLE

Felonious

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

There's some nasty stuff brewing in Heat culture.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

That is a terrible call in our favor. Truly awful

What’s funny about it is that DWhite was clearly fouled, they missed that, and then called an atrocious out-of-bounds in our favor.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

DWhite with another swat!

 

[Brand Name]

I hear the Pats need a corner to play robber alongside Gonzalez. Jaylen Brown to the white courtesy phone, please.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That is a terrible call in our favor. Truly awful

well, it was an egregious foul on Bryant on White so the call was really a minor favor to Heat

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

What’s funny about it is that DWhite was clearly fouled, they missed that, and then called an atrocious out-of-bounds in our favor.

It was almost like she realized she should have called a foul but it was too late so she called a bullshit out of bounds.

 

[Ale Xander]

They're still going to do a 3 minute video for MArcus when the Grizz come in, right?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It was almost like she realized she should have called a foul but it was too late so she called a bullshit out of bounds.

that is clearly what happened
