Winning At Home is Possible on May 19, 2023

[Auger34]

Butler is phenomenal at playing physical while staying on the right side of whistles on both ends. I think that is a big factor, and I can’t hate him for it because he’s not a Giannis that just bowls people over or a Trae/Harden who makes non-basketball plays to draw calls. He’s just elite on both ends at using his physicality effectively.

Hes not those two but he’s 100% an exaggerator/flopper. I mean, good for him, and it’s not at comical levels but it’s absolutely still there

 

[Just a bit outside]

Shit ball luck again.

 

[Seels]

the only time I ever hear of this Strus guy is when he's playing Boston.

 

[OnWisc]

We aren't being outshot in this one. Just outplayed.

That Strus 3 was a bit much.

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC

 

[Just a bit outside]

Why can't we get role player shooters like Strus?!

Like Hauser.

 

[Nator]

That shit where we knock the ball away and it goes right to Miami is infuriating.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

JB needs a break.

 

[JCizzle]

Why can't we get role player shooters like Strus?!

Hauser would average 20 a game for Miami lol

 

[ifmanis5]

Jaylen needed to be sat. Better sit him now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Brown trying to lose or what?

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Come on JB

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Clanglen Brown

 

[McBride11]

OH SHIT SPO CALLED A TIMEOUT! GENIUS

 

[mikeford]

staple jaylen to the bench, jesus how have you missed 6 shots already

 

[RSN Diaspora]

JB needs to wake up kinda like now.

I’m not getting the feeling that this is imminent.

 

[Auger34]

Jaylen looking like Jayson in Philly Game 6. Let’s hope he turns it around the same…and maybe quicker

 

[Ale Xander]

Why can't we get role player shooters like Strus?!

Hauser or PP or Grant?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The offense doesn't work as well when Jaylen and Al can't shoot.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jaylen does not play well against Miami.

 

[Helmet Head]

Are our stars going to be a part of this series? If not. Let’s just pack up and go home

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I don’t like most of the failed ex-coaches but I mean…can’t you understand people taking their opinions seriously? Especially people like the Van Gundy bros. Those guys may have terrible bedside manner but they know basketball

They are momentum reactors like fans. And I like both Van Gundys in isolation but there are reasons they aren't coaching anymore imo.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

Brown trying to lose or what?

Isn't he trying to win, but all by himself?

 

[TripleOT]

14 points in the opening 8.5 minutes isn’t the start I was expecting. One team is executing and hustling, and another is mistake prone and misfiring.

 

[Auger34]

Hauser or PP or Grant?

One of those guys is 5’11 and can’t play in any meaningful series. The other two are apparently buried by the coach

 

[JCizzle]

Hauser or PP or Grant?

Their guys don't turn into pumpkins in the playoffs.

 

[Just a bit outside]

All the people calling for JB to be benched. Did you also want Tatum benched in game 6 against the Sixers? JB will bounce back.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

What is the point of double bigs if you still get smoked on the boards.

Jaylen does not play well against Miami.

If they pretend he should be initiating offense all the time they will lose the series.

 

[McBride11]

Hauser would average 20 a game for Miami lol

Seriously. Can we hire their shooting coach?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Their guys don't turn into pumpkins in the playoffs.

Our guys haven’t gotten a chance.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Aylen Brown

 

[JCizzle]

All the people calling for JB to be benched. Did you also want Tatum benched in game 6 against the Sixers? JB will bounce back.

I just wish he would give up the ball here a bit. Shot isn't there and he's still forcing up bad looks. Make a play for someone else.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It's amazing how much different Celtics offense has looked last three quarters of this series vs first two quarters.

 

[scottyno]

Hauser would average 20 a game for Miami lol

Duncan Robinson disagrees

 

[TripleOT]

Boston 4-10 from two, 2-6 from three.

 

[ifmanis5]

Grant is in.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Seriously. Can we hire their shooting coach?

The guy that led them to 27th in the league in 3 point shooting this year? The shooting is going to even out.

 

[Cellar-Door]

MIA starters went the full way so far, we got White some minutes, so no idea what the bench will look like from BOS... MIA has few options, they'll likely run the same guys as game 1.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

All the people calling for JB to be benched. Did you also want Tatum benched in game 6 against the Sixers? JB will bounce back.

A lot of them did, in fact.

 

[benhogan]

Timeout Counter

Miami 1
Boston 0

 

[McBride11]

Give Hauser and or Grant some run. Al likely needs a break and he can't shoot, JB needs something.

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

Ahh, gamethreads where everyone is supposed to go 20/21 with 12 RB, 11 ASST and 0 TO

 

[OnWisc]

Jeez, is that what the Garden looks like now?

 

[Cellar-Door]

And as I posted, Brogdon and Grant, just like I asked for (though Smart out not Jaylen)

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Who is #12 for the Celtics? Asking for friends

 

[Ale Xander]

Enter Granite

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This series has been one extended dickpunch thus far.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who is #12 for the Celtics? Asking for friends

Jerry Sichting

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Jesus they can’t shoot

 

[Return of the Dewey]

I just wish he would give up the ball here a bit. Shot isn't there and he's still forcing up bad looks. Make a play for someone else.

I’d rather he not try to make plays for others..not really his game and is how TOS happens
