Series Thread: ECF: 2) Boston Celtics vs 8) Miami Heat

Have to consider this game 2 tonight in Boston as a must win for the C's...no?

No doubt.

Obviously a must win for Boston. Teams down 0-2 are batting 7.4%, and I have to think all of those lost the first 2 on the road.

Heat +10 seems like an easy bet

SPO is an all time Top 10 for sure, could be Top 3-5 greatest coach when all is done, but my main issue with him all these years has always been his rotations. He plays guys that should not be playing at times and doesnt know when to sit them. Duncan Robinson should not be playing, Cody Zeller is good, but this is not a good matchup for him.

Duncan Robinson is fire and ice. I see no issue at all with giving the man some burn to gauge if it's a fire day or not.

Which is part of why the spread is what it is.

But take it how you want.

He's been more ice than fire

Ok? But you can't blame a coach for throwing out a possible wild card. Look at his usage rates. Spo is doing exactly what you would expect with a fire and ice guy.

Knicks would have beat both if Randle wasn’t on crack

Impossible

Tatum in the zone early

 

[PPhan]

Player interview between quarters is dumb. Didn’t know that was even a thing

Pretty neat trick to be an NBA superstar while you're on crack

 

[bksballer89]

Way to hit back

 

[Manster7588]

Had to leave after the 1st, listening to Miami broadcast is unbearable. The homerism is pacific ocean deep.

It's a helluva drug.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Boston relying too much on 3’s

It appears a lot of us badly underestimated the Heat and badly overestimated the Celtics. Or maybe coaching matters more in the playoffs? Or some combo.
