5/21, Game 3 @Miami

[BigSoxFan]

They look like a team that’s ready to start their vacations.

 

[Just a bit outside]

How does Jaylen not get that foul? Absolute bullshit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

No foul, and an ensuing three? You gotta be BULLSHITTING ME!!!!

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

 

[soxin6]

I hope the NBA enjoys Disney asking for money back after the disastrous ratings coming in the Finals.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

This is not good, already.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Show some fucking fortitude and GO INTO THE CONTACT. Force the whistle!

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Miami is shooting 90% from 3 this series

 

[soxin6]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

Two fouls in about 30 seconds.

 

[Van Everyman]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

Two fouls

 

[Brand Name]

Lots of contact both ways, not called, although game has been fairly/consistently called to my eyes. Still frustrating, think that plays into Miami's hands. If you're the team with better raw shooters, getting roughed up like that isn't ideal.

 

[Auger34]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

he already has 2 fouls

 

[bankshot1]

I remember when the celts had ball movement like that.

Those were the days.

 

[chilidawg]

Really struggling to get good looks here, Miami's defensive rotations are really good.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

2 fouls, both of which were probably BS, moving screen and the block.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

He's Brothers'd.

 

[Senator Donut]

Rob was in for what, one play? Is he hurt?

Two fouls

Do you believe they will get the calls with Brothers?

 

[JakeRae]

Jaylen had a legit complaint there, especially after the bullshit foul the other way.

One thing I like early is that Jaylen is getting his offense without initiating.

 

[OnWisc]

This is not good, already.

Or still.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I hope the NBA enjoys Disney asking for money back after the disastrous ratings coming in the Finals.

They dgaf about ratings for a given Finals the TV deals make all relevant people as much money as they could ever ask for regardless.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

They look like a team that’s ready to start their vacations.

Can you point out a play or two where this is apparent?

 

[Helmet Head]

Really struggling to get good looks here, Miami's defensive rotations are really good.

Yep and the Celtics is not.

 

[JCizzle]

WTF? NO FUCKING CALL ON THAT JB DRIVE

Anybody who defends the quality of the officials that the NBA puts out there is suspect

 

[Auger34]

That’s a 5 point swing. Miss the foul and the Heat get an open 3.

tony brothers is in the wrong line of work

 

[Cellar-Door]

Jaylen got fouled, but he never even got back in the play, it's the playoffs, you're down 2-0 you can't just give up on getting back like that

 

[Montana Fan]

Another Butler assist for a wide open 3. Guy is a player.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Lots of contact both ways, not called, although game has been fairly/consistently called to my eyes. Still frustrating, think that plays into Miami's hands. If you're the team with better raw shooters, getting roughed up like that isn't ideal.

Fouls are 4-1 in Miami's favor.

The only foul they've called on Miami was the moving screen on Bam

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Miami is pretty good.

 

[NavaHo]

Boston's playing poorly enough, don't really need the Heat to be inhabited by the ghost of Ray Allen and for the refs to call the game like they're on a mission to put the "extender" talk to rest.

Anyway, Succession starts in 10 minutes.

Not called... except the 2 fouls on Rob already after he's been one of their best players

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Even when they were scoring early it was iso play and random threes. The offense has no answer especially without Tatum in the game.

 

[kfoss99]

Miami is shooting 90% from 3 this series

You're wrong, I think it's 120%.

 

[ifmanis5]

We can dispense with the Silver will ref us into the Finals now, right?

 

[jablo1312]

Tatum to the bench and an instant 7-0 run. They lost the 6 non-Tatum minutes in game 2 by 11. Need to not get blown off the court when hes not out there (easier said than done!)

 

[nazz45]

Are Brown and Horford supposed to be two feet apart at the top of the 3 point line? That type of spacing happens way too much.
Brown got fouled but needs to get back on defense. Just jogging back.

 

[JCizzle]

Give me a fucking break anybody defending that no call on Jaylen.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

You're wrong, I think it's 120%.

Feels that way. Cs just have to weather the first quarter and get into the inside game. Just keep it a few possessions

 

[Auger34]

Holy fuck what an awful fucking no call. Jesus Christ. Go play in traffic Brothers

 

[ObstructedView]

I turned it on at 12-9 Celtics. Then missed Tatum layup, two straight turnovers, foul trouble and more insane Miami execution and shooting. Not enjoyable

 

[JCizzle]

Holy fuck what an awful fucking no call. Jesus Christ. Go play in traffic Brothers

JB didn't seek contact lol

 

[Cellar-Door]

Brogdon taking contested pull up 18 footers... fuck that guy

 

[Montana Fan]

Tatum to the bench and an instant 7-0 run. They lost the 6 non-Tatum minutes in game 2 by 11. Need to not get blown off the court when hes not out there (easier said than done!)

Tatum should be on the court guarding Butler 100% of the time and not worrying about averaging 30. Benching him while Butler is on the court is stupid.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Sometimes you need a bit of a lull by the other team. Miami really doesn’t lull. They miss shots sure. But they just don’t lull.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That's good offense against the zone.

 

[benhogan]

Jaylen got fouled, but he never even got back in the play, it's the playoffs, you're down 2-0 you can't just give up on getting back like that

Yep its a habit this entire team developed the whole season. It was permitted and now Tatum & Brown + others do it all the time

 

[Van Everyman]

I honestly believe the Celtics should do Tatum in the high pick and roll until the Heat prove they can stop it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Miami was 23rd in 3 point percentage this year and their best shooter is hurt.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Tatum out of control

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

SVG with the "get up" flex. I mean, JB got up after hitting the deck, but it takes a few seconds to get momentum going back to the other end.

 

[bohous]

WTF Tatum going to the hoop with 4 guys in the paint
