Are you insulting Tatum? If so this is 'Murica pal, home of the fuckin' Whooper. Insult him in english. Thank you.

Tatum = Pussy whopper boy

That was a no-doubt foul on Robinson.

Throwing your body into someone isn't a foul if the defender does nothing. Robinson didn't swipe, move into Smart space, hit him on the arm or anything. The only other way Robinson could have played defense there is run the other way and give Smart a dunk. I even see Celtic writers on twitter saying it was a no call. You have to be a real homer to actually think Robinson fouled him

Funny thing is, Miami has averaged more FT’s than any team in the playoffs and have attempted the most. But when other teams shoot a bunch, they need to let them play and they are bad calls.

Robinson threw his body into Smart.

The Heat attempted 34 tonight.

LET THEM PLAY FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Nah, he’s a solid 3rd option on his team...

This was the best officiated them of the series. I just think that Smart call was a bailout

Better for Boston, obviously.

• The C's were much more effective attacking the zone. I loved how they got the ball in the paint and made the Heat pay.
• Hayward's back. Boston is finally at full strength.
• The C's did a much better job of not giving up as many easy shots at the rim to Miami.
• Boston also did a decent job of targeting Duncan Robinson on the defensive end... finding that mismatch has to be in the head of every Celtic player whenever Robinson is in the game.
• Jaylen Brown was a monster this game... the C's need that from him every game.
• Boston still isn't shooting the 3 ball well. But if they can attack the paint like this, that'll be ok.

Seriously. Tatum has all nba skills, he’s just playing like a softy right now... Brown is obviously the alpha on that team.

12-44 from 3 is almost never going to end in a W

Physically Boston showed their advantage with strength and speed. The problem I have is they did this for three quarters then once again went into ISO and acted like the game was over. They just need to drive drive drive against that zone

I want to hear about another shouting match in the Boston locker-room tonight... that sh!t works.

The trolling is great. Tatum had 25/14/8 tonight. But Brown did have a better game.

Exactly... The only reason why the Heat have been playing zone is because Boston wasn’t using their dribble drive AT ALL. No pro team plays a zone defense most of the game unless the opposing team has no one to penetrate it

This is gonna be one of the best series in the history of the NBA. And I believe the Raptors/Celtics series will be considered one as well. The Celtics are going to be very very tired if they make it to the Finals.

settle down

Yeah in a blow out game when Brown and Walker were doing most of the hard work for him..

Yup. And if you have stronger faster and taller wings why not drive all day when they go zone ?

make them pay

They once again went ISO in the 4th. I would be laying into them big time
