Another obvious foul uncalled. This crew should be fired into the sun.

The officiating tonight has been atrocious. But the heat are playing great and they are great at pushing the line on that. Celtics simply have to be mentally tougher about the game and not the officiating. That’s the layers and the coach failing.

This is the type of series that transforms expectations going forward - no one will care about the regular season after this.

Every moving screen call benefitting the Celtics, there's a 150% chance of the make up call right away on the other end. Might as well hit Jimmy Butler with a 2x4 if they're going to look for a foul that closely.

Great shot there by Marcus
I'm pretty sure he was getting held.. but Miami doesn't get called for any of the shit they do down low.. he's trying to force calls instead of play smart basketball.

74 points given up in 27 minutes. Getting crushed and you come out to get 5 points in the first three minute, and you give up 13? Ridiculous

I was told you need to hit the floor to get a foul. Marcus just did that and once again no call. Unless you think there was no contact and he just decided that he was going to take a shot with no chance of going in while falling over just because.

Both teams in fact are trying to win, just like I said last week. One team is just doing a much better job of it right now, and it aint the Celtics. What i said was absolutely correct then and still is.

But cry away if it helps distract you from the fucking dumpster fire the celtics were in the first half.

I just dont want to have to go back to the hospital tomorrow and tell my 83 year old life long celtics fan that they are down 0-3.
as @lars10 said, we can take this to PMs after if you want but this is all I nees to say. I said that I was shocked they lost that game (something everyone else agreed with). You came back with a pithy, douchey response about how every team wants to win and that I should basically feel stupid for thinking the Celtics should win. It was an asshole response then and it still is now.
After that you dug in deeper and tried to be cool and above it all to also make me try and look stupid. You’ve continued the pattern of acting like you’re above it all now.

separate from all of that, I hope that the Celtics pull it off and that your 83 year old family member feels better

I understand that Celts D leaves a lot to be desired, and Miami D is good. But miami hits 'everythin'g that's open, the celts 'nothing'.
The difference in D isn't that much.

I'm sorry, Marcus made that great play to open the quarter for the and one, but since then, he's been a disaster, and the fact that Al is in there over Rob is fucking coaching malpractice at this point.

At least he got White out for Grant on the other end, after White got torched.

The fact that our opposition can hunt whoever they want whenever they want, and we are completely incapable of it, is on the coach. Bottom line. Jimmy Butler is working constantly in wide open space against whoever he wants.

Different officiating would maybe AT BEST make this like a 15 point game. The Celtics have played fucking terrible from the tip and just happened to hit some early shots on minimal ball movement but have not had offensive flow for a single minute of this game. A season worst performance on all fronts.

The officiating has been lousy and hurt us more than them. But we’re also shooting 40% and playing horrific D.

This team is so unlikable. I checked out of the season until the playoffs. I feel bad for you guys who are diehards. This is pathetic.
