Game 1: Come Tomorrow, Wake Up Anew, See the Sun.

Two bad plays by Brown almost led to a poor ending to the half, but Miami missed a few open looks and the C's capitalized.
All in all that is a great, great offensive half from Celts- nothing really unsustainable (55%/38/85) and just tremendous passing and execution especially in second quarter.
Defense in second quarter pretty solid, really. Miami had some open looks but a lot of stuff we won't see regularly (Lowry!)
My halftime grades (not that you were asking)....
Offense: A

The layup line surely can't last forever, but nor can Kyle f'in Lowry turning into mid 2010s Steph Curry.
I just need the Heat to keep playing Lowry. A team worst -12 despite shooting 3-4 from 3-point range, hopefully they don't realize he is unplayable against the Cs until Game 6 or 7 like last year.
Tatum has 18 and I'm not sure he's been in the top 2 for the Celts so far! Smart with the dimes and TimeLord on the Offensive boards might be my 1-2.
And PS: my YouTubeTV hasn't frozen but it has gone low-res a couple times to make me feel like I was watching the 86 Celtics on Cape Cod with our roof antenna and 27" RCA TV.

they don't have many other options, they literally have no other guards who can dribble on the bench with Herro hurt
This feel a bit like last game in that Miami almost has to adjust to cut off our penetration and when they do it is going to be open season from three.
If you factor in defense, Tatum has been really good tonight. Flying around all over the place.
on the other hand, I wouldn't count on 11 to 5 turnover ratio in our favor, regular season both turned it over the exact same amount, but we were pretty bad at forcing opponent turnovers, while Miami was top 5.
Still, Celtics should be the better team, just need to take care of the ball and play decent defense, 2nd quarter was excellent
Reggie's right that it reminds a little of game 1 of the Sixers series. Cs not getting up threes and not quite getting separation. If Miami clamps down a little, things could tighten up. But the 2-pt shooting in the Sixers game was way more unsustainable, and Cs defense much better.
Kinda sad for Bam that they just said the Heat have no shotblocking whatsoever. Isn't Bam supposed to be a rim protector?
After dealing with Embiid for 7 games, they don't look too scared in the paint
Yeah, I really don’t understand the concept of even a healthy Gallinari making his Celtics debut in either the ECF or the Finals.
