Bring back Wright next year. Valuable bench asset when he can hit that 3 ball

celtics laying the smackdown on Miami,s candy ass.

It’s just one game but this one feels like a statement.

After last year if the Celtics didn’t make a statement it would have been more than a reason for concern.

 

[fightinfunbags]

lol that a 64 win team can beat up a team without 2 of their top 3 players?

Like we aren’t gonna play with our food this year.

We will see how that looks in round 2. This is obviously a different series if either Jimmy or Rozier was available and especially Jimmy

Losing a game to this Heat team would be a red flag as a Celtics fan.

What do you think they can realistically do with him in the offseason?

Put the bench in Joe

Starters tired. Have not played in two weeks.

I'm not looking for anything special at this point. I would honestly take a role player at this point. He's not really needed with Rozier and Duncan can provide the shooting we would lose without him

 

[bksballer89]

The Heat might cover lol

 

[thunderc]

At least Herro got one more shot up

 

[Wamu]

Didn't realize GOATum finished with a trip-dub.

Well as BKS said that’s a crazy contract and he should be able to do more.

He can be an asset but not as trying to be a 1

Yeah his best role is probably as a clear #3

lol and this clown really talk about Barkley and Shaq

A good (not great) start.

The Celtics got up big... but the danger there is losing urgency, and the C's seemed to get lazy multiple times. That ain't good in the playoffs.

But Boston got a pretty overwhelming talent advantage against the injured Heat... so it didn't bite them... in this one.

Looks like Miami is gonna have trouble sustaining consistent offense... they really need Herro to be at his best, and clearly he wasn't in this game.

Would not surprise anyone to see Miami win game 4 at home to avoid the sweep where the Celtics are kind of coasting. Happens all the time
