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

Stop it

Lol everyone's eyes tell them the same thing. The celtics charge and the refs let them. Their opponent moves forward and the refs call a charge.

Every game all season long. I wonder if that will have an effect on outcomes of games.

They aren't winning both on the road but that line is very high

I like their chances tonight but im biased. I loved the mindset they approached game 2 vs the knicks and thats likely a win if butler plays. I just need that approach instead of that comfortable with 1 road win approach they entered game 2 vs Milwaukee with

And?

How does it discredit them?

You are so focused on the negative man.

Having 1 explosive quarter that outweighs 3 losing ones isn’t a bad thing.

Especially when that quarter happens in the 2nd half like it often does for Miami.

It's like those 3rd quarters the Warriors used to have regularly where they'd explode and turn a close game into a blowout.

 

[trojanfan12]

It is basically saying miami wasn't the better team and essentially got "lucky" which is why you dont hear thr quarters BS when other teams do it

If they got outscored in the other 3 quarters, they weren't the better team in those 3 quarters.

It's being talked about because they have won that way 7 times while the rest of the teams in the playoffs have done it 7 times combined. That is noteworthy and would be talked about regardless of what team is doing it.

Also, it has been talked about with other teams. Warriors 3rd quarters have been talked about for pretty much their entire run.

[The Q]

The heat are the only team where quarters won becomes such a big deal. Same thing espn did last year in the ecf vs bos. It is discrediting them as always

It isn’t a big deal and it isn’t discrediting them at all.

It is an interesting stat.

Nothing more.

That's only ever brought up in heat wins vs Boston constantly

It’s mentioned cause the Celtics coach literally brought it up for why he wasn’t worried

Ok, so the Heat can use that as bulletin board material.

But that isn’t what the media is trying to do.

Can’t get mad at facts from the game.

He sounds like you.

Miami and the points again tonight.

Playoff Jimmy is a different cat.

Just take the sure thing with the over again

 

[thunderc]

My gosh, you feel like that you stay quiet and don’t say a fn word until they figure it out. These guys.

Sure they can, it definitely has at least one Heat fan triggered.

Personally I don't think the players care as long as they get the win.

I'd rather rule one qtr and win vs. win 3 qtrs and lose.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

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

No.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No.

Yes you do....so stop lying.

 

[bksballer89]

Yes you do....so stop lying.

I think they should lose 2-4

The excuses people been making in the media all playoffs for Miami opponents is nasty. This been ongoing for a month now

Soon as the comment was made, heat twitter went crazy and im talking media guys such as beat writers & reporters all saying here goes the quarter talk again. Espn ran with this lame story last ecf as well. Clear agenda

You don't hear it for other teams as didn't the stat say the entire league does not do it as often as Miami?

I don't see it as some anti Miami stat either. Just an interesting one.
