Series Thread: First Round: 1) Boston Celtics vs 8) Miami Heat

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Celtics are putting the Heat on ice in this 1st half.
It's looking like a 5 on 3 scrimmage out there on the court.
Spo gonna lose whatever composure he had in the locker room at halftime.

Celtics uni's are horrible. I was going to root for them tonight, but meh...

The old let me wait to see if the shot goes in or not to make a call. Got to love NBA refs

Refs have nothing to do with the Heat getting outrebounded, shooting 36.1% from the field and 28.6% from downtown. Fouls in the first half. Celtics- 10. Heat- 6.

lol who said anything about the refs being the reason why Miami are losing? I made a comment about a stupid late call where they wait to see if a shot goes in or not before calling the foul which will always be silly to me. If it's a foul then call it soon as you see the contact. No need to wait until after the shot is missed

Seeing Boston play with effort and edge tonight makes you wonder why Boston doesn't play with this kind of intensity every fu#kin' night.

It's the playoffs, gentlemen. Don't just play like this after a loss.

Loved this and this is why i hate espn. Doesn't just happens to Heat but other teams as well. A team like the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, or etc lose and they act like they were playing against themself and completely ignore the opponent

Yeah because the media never talks about the Heat... Ever. Not even Stephen A. Smith would ever push the unhappy Dame narrative nearly a full year after he's traded.

Sure it was only about one late call.

This isn't the first time you've had something to say about the refs after you team got outplayed in the first half of a game.

They actually dont lol. The national media mainly talk about Lakers, Warriors, and Knicks

I talk about refs across the board. I watch games in real time and if i see them do something I disagree with then I'm going to comment about it. Has nothing to do with the Heat losing because the refs are not the reason for that...ridiculous and disgusting take from you

 

[bksballer89]

So sick of clowns on this board making the biggest deal because I make a single comment on a call lol. Didn't even say it was a bad call. All I said was i hate when the refs wait to see if a shot is missed before deciding if it was a foul or not. Extremely minor

Pretty big hops on the jump ball.

Herro losing his composure... lol.

Odd you don't have something negative to say about the refs when your team is leading at HT. Ain't that funny how that works out?

This is a welcomed change from game two.

Playoffs are about adjustments. Po will be back at it tonite watching videos.

But they showed the Heat more respect tonite and actually guarded the 3 pt line

Effort was totally different tonight... that was the difference, IMO.

Our 3 pt shooting gets the headlines... but if we want to win a Championship, we gonna have to do it with consistent effort on the defensive end... that's the key more than any other factor.
