It wasn't a fluke. It was poor defense by the Celtics and I wouldn't actually be shocked if they allowed the Heat back into this game either.

Regular season Heat are back.

Boston had all of their defensive players and didn't think to pressure Miami until now

What a joke

The fact that even this sorry Miami team pulled out a flukey win but we still can’t is disappointing and embarrassing.

Boston looks more fluid on offense and feeding off transition

Mostly random thought: Miami's arena's stairs make those empty seats more noticeable, somehow.

Hopefully the Denver/Lakers game won't be a blowout too. Terrible games today.

Or if it is a blowout it's the Lakers on the receiving end of it and DLO goes 5-25 for extra fun.

No one's scored on him the entire series, best defense ever.

By far the most underrated thing about the LAL-DEN thing, with the twelve losses in a row, is how much the Nuggets "dislike" (for lack of a better word) LAL. In my opinion, it is personal for Jokic, Malone, and the fans, and that trickles down to every player on the team. It's just a perfect storm of talent differential plus an unusually, specifically motivated team. Specifically motivated against the Lakers. It's a very rare situation in pro sports.

Jrue has 0pts and 0 rebounds and might be the most impactful player on the floor this game

Defense ABSURD. He has locked up their whole **** team holy ****. Jrues defense is up there w/ almost any guard to ever play. Ridiculous............no wonder Milwaukees defense fell off a cliff this season after losing him
