    Celtics in 5 but I hope I'm wrong.

    I really, really want Bill Simmons to suffer.

    Who is Nesmith? That was an amazing block.

    Boston's defense was lost in the story of Giannis going off, seemingly every game. But man, this is championship level defense, for sure.

    Miami's offense is UGLY. An 11 point deficit feels like a huge hole to climb for this team.

    Meanwhile Tatum/Brown are driving to the basket a lot more than I expected.

    Imagine going from playing against a lethargic SG and a C with broken body parts, to a team team, like the Celtics.

    Conversely, imagine going from playing against arguably the best player in the world to no one that singularly physically dominant, in the Heat.

    COVID was the best thing that could ever to Duncan Robinson. He shoots well in an empty arena, cashes out 90 mil, and then stopped giving a ****.

    I'm still a non-believer when it comes to Tatum as an MVP-level superstar.

    Tatum: GOAT'd in the first half, scapegoated in the 3rd Q.

    Jimmy Butler plays trash can basketball lol. This dude is the foul baiter everyone thinks Harden is.

    Did Harden give the Celts a pep talk at half time?

    I get that Nesmith has to play because of Smart's injury.

    But man, aside from 2 highlight blocks, the dude is so undisciplined.

    The loss of Horford and Smart really hurt.

    The big men from Boston's defense to show on Miami's picks has been so poor tonight.

    Tough to overcome 2 of your starters being out.

    Only a small few calls I can recall thinking that's a bad call - all went Miami's way - but the way this season has been officiated it's probably one of the better games officiating wise.

    Everytime the crowd yells "Ref You Suck" I wish the ref would be like.. "Okay, the next call is definitely not going your way now"
