I really thought this series was over.

As I said a few minutes ago, when 6 of the 10 starters are in serious foul trouble (4+) then the refs are doing a horrible job

^ I agree with you here... too much whistles and too many stops in play.

Doesnt even compare to "series that shall not be named".

I wonder how James Harden feel watching the Heat players move when they don't have the ball instead of sitting in a corner doing nothing like he normally would do

You are assuming that he actually cares about winning a championship. Some players are not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get to the next level and then blame everyone else for their failures

Time for the Boston dick sucking media to come out for the next 48 hours like the Heat were not supposed to lose a game in this series

I really believe who wins game 6 wins the series

Man... two games in a row now Miami has put Boston in a straight-jacket in the 1st half of the game.

Boston finally found their offense and won a game they had to win... but damn, it was touch and go for a while.

Miami is like a piece of iron.

Anyway... look at the scoreboard at the end and Boston has put up 120+. That's how it has got to be for Boston, that is their big advantage (theoretically)... Boston on offense should be able (again, theoretically) to find weaknesses and score on a fairly consistent basis.

As we all know, that consistency hasn't happened at all... so we'll see what happens next game.

Glad for a game 6 opportunity, though.

Especially if it's Miami

Heat need to shoot better from 3 and mainly Crowder. I give Boston credit on the others but Crowder is getting open look after open look and can't hit anything

 

[bksballer89]

Spo also need to go back to a normal rotation. Bringing one guy off the bench who can score is silly. Get KO back in the rotation.

This 7.5 man rotation ain't it

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not wrong when it comes to his own team to be fair......probably not attracting a Jimmy Butler here let alone an elite player. Did not mean to say that as a knock on Butler as I've always liked him. But he isn't among the elite NBA players IMO (top 5-10)

He was talking about the Heat, not the Cavs in this case.

Maybe so but Celtics are a good team and sometimes they are gonna win the game. Tatum and Brown were great. Spo can't engineer a sweep every series.

I get that but Solomon Hill isn't better than KO and going with a 7 man rotation put too much pressure on the starters and Herro to score. Jones Jr and Kelly can give you 15+ points if you play them. Shit KO had 5 tonight in very limited minutes. Iggy and Hill will struggle to give you 5+ points. That puts too much pressure on the other 6 be at the top of their game. Basically zero room for error

Besides Duncan tonight, only player really making 3s has been Herro.
He doesnt start.
Celtics were letting us shoot start of 3rd qtr, then positioned to fast break.

Well, Miami only needs to win 1 more...they’d go straight to the finals, lol.

I don't know. Dude has an awful lot of hate for the Heat. They took Lebron's prime years.

Very true. But don't forget that he said if LeBron didn't drag an injured Lakers squad to the playoffs last year it would ruin his legacy.

I mean, it did take until year 6 with a team that is a FA destination. But agree they did not need a high pick to get where they are now.

As for Riley, if I am looking correctly as to when he was in charge, since wade he has had 3 picks that were worth anything. Though 2 were very recent so the "lost his fastball" comment is off base.
