There was no excuse for having any issues in round one before, but even more now
4 losses of that type this year do feel especially amplified for a team that only lost 18 for the whole season. Twice to the same team back to back (both road games to a 36-46 team with the Celts missing 2 starters for the 2nd one).You're talking about a Celtics team that lost to several teams this year when those teams lost leading scorers before the game. If anything, they seem to play worse when the opposing team loses star players.

Came here to say I'm cackling at the idea of Joe Mazzulla liquefying his $183.5 million dollar team by way of hitting a decibel level that's roughly twice that of a rocket taking off for space.
Saturn 5 produces about 220 dB. Decibels are logarithmic; every increment of 10 represents a power increase of ten times. 300 dB would be 800 times more powerful than the sound emitted by a Saturn 5 rocket. That's some game prep.
I’ve given up hope on this group if they lose to the Heat without Jimmy Butler. I still would not be surprised to see this go 6 games.
It’s in the DNA to play down to inferior opponents.
Yes, typical selfish ball. I think he got soft benched.15 point lead. Jaylen stunk in the first half outside of the first two minutes.
Are you only watching shot attempts? White was, as usual, their best player in both halves today. Dominant performance again.Hopefully he gets some rythm, DWhite too.
Tatum and Brown are going to sink them. It was obvious today. I don’t care how many points they won by, they’re me-first players who force low pct shots when guys are WIDE open.Tatum scored his first career playoff triple-double... yet somehow it felt like he had a crappy game. How many dumb passes did he make anyway? 3 or was it 4? I was pretty surprised with how many points he ended up with considering how terribly he shot. FGs were 7-18 (38.9%) and he was a pitiful 1-8 from 3. Ouch.
This might work against an undermanned Heat team, but he's going to have to step it up going forward.
Is this literally all you care about? Brown was fine after a tough stretch in the first half.Yes, typical selfish ball. I think he got soft benched.

Don’t know what game you were watching. Brown and Tatum weren’t playing selfish. JT got sloppy at the end. Probably didn’t help that Joe played him 40 minutes in a twenty point win. He looked tired toward the end.Tatum and Brown are going to sink them. It was obvious today.

Brown is atrocious against a swarming zone which is why I think he was soft benched. As soon as he went out for an extended time they moved the ball around the perimeter and had wide open 3s (Hauser hit those 4 which changed Miami’s defense.)
Tatum went out with 6:55 in the first quarter.Is this literally all you care about? Brown was fine after a tough stretch in the first half.
It’s the playoffs, I might’ve thought you had something different to add or talk about.
