Mostly happy with Jaylen (played a pretty measured game when he could have gotten attack-happy) and KP (played with an edge, which we will need later on) although Tatum was the best guy on the floor as usual.

Yeah, a similar beatdown in game four would imply they're not going to dick around as much this year.

The general board has been fun but frankly I'm disgusted by some of your efforts. I'm over there getting flamed for stating the obviously and ain't no body over there backing me up.

Why go to the GB when this is our home?


Because I like getting a rise out of entitled heat fans after their smug attitudes last year.

I stopped listening to the Jays a long time ago.

If you're also listening to Joe then you're being conned.

It's literally up to them. It's in their control.

When guys like Paul Pierce and KG speak, you listen.

But the Jays and Joe, they're like robots.
It's like what they say was programmed and not really coming from them.

Nice win.

VC to White and KP.

We won for mainly 3 reasons:

1. Team defense. Props to coach Joe and the entire coaching staff for the game plan.
2. Overall scoring/balanced scoring. I keep saying we are at our best when the other players step up and Brown and Tatum stop ball hogging and share the ball. KP and Pritchard came up big in the 1st quarter when Brown and Tatum started out combined 2-8 from the field, mainly Brown starting 1 -6. White was huge in the 2nd quarter with 12 big points.
3. KP outplayed Bam. KP had 18 points on only 9 shots and defended well.

Al was good off the bench. Pritchard still hasn't scored in the 2nd half through 3 games. We need a lot more from Jrue.

I want the limited Kornet minutes to go to Tillam. Someone needs to remind Joe and the coaching staff that Tillam was starting in the playoffs last year and defending really well against Anthony Davis and the Lakers. I'm sure they can find 8-10 minutes a game for him.

It would only be weird if he was a leader. He isn't. Neither is Brown.

KP and Pritchard were key in the 1st quarter. White was the difference maker in the 2nd quarter. Team defense was amazing.

I'm not looking for more from Tatum and Brown. They will disappoint most of the time. This season is about White, KP, Jrue, Brown and Tatum. Whenever it's about Tatum and Brown like it was in game 2, we struggle. When everyone is involved and the entire team gives effort, plays defense and shares the ball, we are a very strong team.

How many times do the Heat get to hit Derrick White in the face, before a foul is called??

Gawd, these Refs SUCKED.

Much improved perimeter defense. We had enough good looks to easily win that game by 30+.

If Heat don't win another game, JB will just come right back at him and tell him "You only got one!"


I prefer we don’t clown anyone till we win it all. Bad karma will get you. Plus this is the 1st rd. We supposed to win it.

Cs shoot 29.7% from 3pt land and they still won by 20.


The Heat are ass, but the Celtics are a incredibly stupid team.

Yeah, I don't disagree.

But experience is making the Cs better.

The stupidity is mainly from needing more experience.

This bunch, especially the Jays, always went on a deep playoff run even when they were rookies.

Life was easy for them when they were not the 1 and 2 option.

Now that it's their time to lead the way, they're learning what it takes to win in the playoffs.

Next season will be the start of their peak.


I prefer we win it all this year. If we do, everyone will elevate their game even more. Can be a dynasty.

This win was like next win after we lost to Hawks back to back.
Everyone was mad at players and next game they beat the sh*t out of Pelicans and everyone was happy again

Fierce1 wrote:KP finally getting some real playoff experience.

The hard work in the regular season is paying off.

KP starting the game knocking down 2 3s is a good sign.

Guess we'll have to get used to this not so high, not so low mentality that JT and this team has.


I like that KP is hitting shots, but i prefer him at the high post more, except if we face the nuggets. Chucking 3’s ain’t sustainable. Let the others chuck 3’s.

I just get sick of Tatum sucks, Brown is horrible, Mazzulla is the worst and oh by the way the Celtics won by 20. Who wants to be a part of that?

The people who do won't be posting here today so don't expect answers.


Whining about whiny posters lol.
