    So frustrating watching these teams with multiple players you can expect to play well. Really drives home how weak our roster was this year, especially with Westbrook coming off injury.

    The winning is being done by the role players
    Kemba and Tatum were ass for the first half
    The Role players kept them in it. . . . . Fricking Ennis Kanter got them rolling

    The Heat was supported by Robinson's 17 in the first half

    That's funny, I just tuned in the second half. I would not have expected Kanter to contribute significantly.

    No one would have
    but he came in and got like 6 straight points
    on post ups and put backs
    before him everything was one and done
    Heat was kicking the **** out of them

    The Heat could not switch off him . . .which allowed Brown and the rest to start getting their rhythm

    Good to see a coach using his bench. Starter got nervous he was going to lose minutes. Kanter came in 4/4FG, energized, ready to play. Ending up sparking the whole team. Plus they did what their coach asked. Play hard on defense the rest will come. Plus a little size helps.

    I don't know if it's because the Rockets are now out and I'm not really paying that much attention, but these playoffs feels like it's taking forever.

    Neither Jimmy Butler nor Kemba Walker have looked very good this series. And by very good, I mean that they're supposed to be the guy for their respective teams.

    Tatum literally pushes off and the refs don’t call offensive foul, but they give him the shot and1. But if Harden BARELY shoves or anything, it’s a charge... why?

    Miami has only lost for the 3rd time, this postseason. Still pretty crazy.

    Do you think these teams are deeper than the Rockets? Butler has had some real stinkers that I think he avoided criticism for because the Heat pulled out wins.

    Refs were def. favoring the Celtics tonight but man, the Heat need to make their shots. Also Bam must be hurt cuz he was playing soft in the paint tonight.

    On Goran's offensive foul (raising knee in his layup)

    Mark Jackson: "If you do that in my park, you aint going home".
    JVG: "What kind of park (do you go to)"

    I do. I think at least more consistent.
    The Rockets need a consistent effort from Harden to even think of winning
    Need at least one or tow other persons to show up

    Look at each teams starters
    Tatum - Kemba - Brown - Hayward - Theis
    Jimmy - Drago - BAM - Crowder - Robinson
    Harden - Westbrook - PJ - Covington - Ego/House

    Celtics on paper look overwhelming the better squad.
    Heat outside of jimmy v Harden are better or equal to every rocket

    Harden is the best player out of every one there
    but
    If you ranking . ..you may not see another rocket in the top 10

    This Heat team aren't front runners. They have a better chance of winning when coming back from behind. Celtics get chokey when they give up a good lead.
