I simply think Spo is the better coach. You could see for every run Boston made, Spo opened the floor and made Boston's shooters wear themselves out trying to fight through screens on those perimeter switches. Spo was playing chess...and I'm all for it Skap.😎👍
@OGSauceDaddy You're making my point. Spo knew that. So screen the hell out of them and wear them out for offense. See? Same thing. Take away their strength.
Eric Spoelstra is truly one hell of a "genius" coach.

Bird would NEVER. I really wasn't expecting Boston to win the title this year...but I also wasn't expecting them to lose the second home game to 14 and a half point dog smh
Regular season seeding is almost irrelevant to playoff success as Miami proved it over and over. Right now, Miami is the second strongest team in East after Boston. They are literally the last finalists. Just like we respect Denver for what they have achieved last year, people should respect Miami and stop underestimating their capability.
Crazy to think that Spo has only had 1 50 win regular season over the last 10 years with how successful he's been in the playoffs. He's made the Finals twice and made it to 3 conference Finals since LeBrick left town
Real heat fans know Jimmy is just the icing on the cake. The real superstar is Coach Spo with Bam as the anchor and foundation of their defense. And with Herro, Jaquez and Jovic stepping up. Spo got the sneaky talented players and recipe to pull a historic upset against the bum celtics. 😊

My problem with rest of the team where was Bam in the Philly playin game only had 10 points ,Tyler shot 9-28 FG, Jimmy was passing it wide open shooters and they just brick after brick !

@@skap_attack As a Heat fan, I at least have solace in the fact that this Celtics team isn't winning a championship. Doubtful Miami knocks them out without Jimmy, but whether it happens in the East playoffs or the Finals, I'll be content regardless

As you just stated, it won't happen but the mere fact this isn't going to be a sweep is an indictment on the entire team, especially the coach and the supposed superstar (which he isn't btw).
Now you can see why as a Celtics fan, i haven't picked them to win any championship in the pass 5 years. They have the ability to go all the way to the championship and they could also lose in the first round. It also shows me Spo the best coach in the league right now. Which is why superstar players don't go and play for the heat. Because Riley won't let them do whatever they want and Spo will coach them hard. Superstars today want things easy and don't really want to be coached. Just a yes man that will take the fall
I know Tatum is a BIG Kobe guy, which I typically would LOVE...but if ANYONE should have been a LeBron fan, its Tatum. Dude is a masterful choke artist.
He is a kobe wannabe. He wants to play on the perimeter. He wants to be all finesse(which wasn't all of kobe's game). His real strength is his size and ability to get to the rim but he never wants to use it. He hates contact
Tatum and Kobe are both shot chuckers, so Tatum modeled his game closer to Kobe. It kinda makes sense he plays this way in the crunch. Kobe only has 1 finals series where he shot above 41%. And he also shoots around 36% in the 4th. So I can see why Tatum shrinks
Because Kerr and Pop have more rings, even though they have struggled to win much without the core players they won all their championships with. A mark of a great coach is winning with different rosters, and Spo has long since crossed over to that level
Bro is a certified Celtics hater. Can tell he does not watch any games. How’s the series going now after the heat made their franchise record in threes
lol, yeah...Spo said, "Take 43 threes and hit 23 of them." Really an all around brilliant gameplan on his part to tell them to hit over 50% of their threes...
I feel like Kenny Smith's takes are usually obvious or wrong, but when he said Brown and Tatum relies on their talent and not their effort he hit the nail on the head
@@Riles3152 To be fair, MJ played 3 seasons before Scottie, 1 of which he got injured early and played only 8 games, and 2 seasons after Scottie when he was in his late 30s had no help, and ended up getting hurt. And MJ certainly did a lot when Scottie was choking his brains out. When you look at the rest of the list all of the other "side kicks" were frequently the best player on the court. Very much Superman and Batman type duos rather than Batman and Robin duos.
@@kostastube2010 Look, I'm no Pippen fan either. I think he was overrated as an all-time player, but in proper perspective, he was basically the perfect "Robin" to MJ's "Batman". He was a very good overall player and 2-way player. I know people don't like him or even can't stand him because of his cringingly continual hating on MJ, but in all objectivity, he's one of the greatest #2 guys in NBA history.
Holiday is averaging 7.5 points on 30% shooting in these two games. That's who Giannis won a championship with. That's also the level of player Jamal Murray would be without Joker. That's what Klay Thompson would be without Steph. Real great players can win with that supporting cast. They don't "need more help" every single year.
I don't really agree with that. Jrue was a dog in New Orleans. I think he is just old now (he'll be 34 in a month). The problem for Boston is he just signed a 4 year contract totaling $134 million. The Celts are stuck with him now. You are right about the other 2 though. Both of those players would be serviceable without Nikola and Steph. To use a football reference: There are a lot of 2s and 3s masquerading and getting paid as 1s. In the NBA, there are truly a handful of 1s but the league wants you to think there are dozens of them.
@jaypeoples3044 Even when he was a 30yo player in the Bucks, he would still shoot between 30 and 40% in the playoffs, especially when it mattered most. He has just always been bad on offence in the playoffs, but that was masked by how good Giannis was, the same way all great players cover for their teammates' inefficiencies and make them appear much better than they truly are.
If you ever have the chance to come watch a game in Toronto, please thank Darko Rajakovic for a permanent sound bite in one of the best basketball channels around! IT'S A COMPLETE CRAP!
Coach Spo continues to be underrated. It almost seems that he will never win coach of the year because James tried to get him fired when he was with the Heat. Meaning, LeBron thinking he was not a good coach made the media and all his fans think that too. If that's the case then it's really damn sad. Thank god for Pat Riley
We aren't going to talk about OKC CRUSHING the Pelicans by 30? "Worst number 1 seed in history"? The Thunders new mascot should be the Exon Valdez because they just killed a pelican.
This channel only revolves around hating on Lebron, glazing Kobe, and occasionally propping up other players to again attack Lebron. Skap is not concerned with nba journalism or the nba at all. He thinks the league is trash now
Because it is irrelevant. The Pelicans are not supposed to win games, especially with Zion out. If Thunder crushes the top four seeds, then we will talk.
@@danielbattle7620 Well he's right. The league is trash right now. I only watch during the playoffs because that's when the players actually compete. Notice the level of intensity and effort now vs. the regular season. Hell, points are down by double digits already and we're not even a week into the second season.
I am a die hard Celtics fan. Have been since their worst season ever in 1996-97. Watching the Celtics completely crap all over themselves the last 5 years in the playoffs has made me start to question life. This team is stacked and yet always shoots themselves in the foot. Embarrassing to watch how many times they didn’t hedge and didn’t go over on screens.
@2:46 and @4:37 I fell out!! 😂😂😂 Great editing and great analysis as always Skap!! When you have the time, I'm looking forward to a video on the small forward position of the 1980s. I want to see what you have to say about the mighty Bernard King.
Slightly off topic but, in 1971, the top three all time in points per game were Wilt, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West, all on the Lakers. If LeFlop had been on that team, they would have lost and he would have claimed he didn't have enough help.
Jimmy may very well be out for the rest of the season even if they make the Finals, so that's not in the cards unfortunately. Not looking likely that Terry will be playing this series either
@@davidriedy5977 damn that’s super unfortunate. I honestly think they could’ve made a finals run. They have the Celtics number historically and match up very well. From there the field is wide open.
These bums are probably going to come out swinging next game, but this zombie Heat team will probably take the punches and continue playing, and that’s what should worry Celtics fans. Boston has to get used to being uncomfortable and stop assuming teams will fold early on. So, if the Heat eventually come back from whatever lead Boston gets, like I assume they will, that’s when we’ll find out what this version of the Celts is really made of.
Unfortunately for Celtics fans I think the peak of this core was their 2-1 finals lead over the warriors. They blew their best shot and will most likely split the team up in the near future.
Got to be some of the most deluded heat fans in here. Great for believing in your team, but when you cant realize that it took your "lukewarm heat" to shoot a record 23 3s to beat the celtics by 10, idk what to tell yea. Point differential was 78 points this series. Lost by an average of 22.6 points in the last 3 games. Learn to tell the difference between the norm and a rarity because clearly many of you struggle with that.
Heat had to shoot at a historic pace last night. I understand being amped about a W, but we're talking about a version of the Heat that franchise has never seen. Great win but a little perspective is necessary.
Nope. What the Heat showed is thar they belong. In a redraft, jaquez and jovic would be lottery picks. So lowkey the Heat morr firepower than most would think.
As a celtics fan, I can't even be mad at the ridicule this team is getting right now. how can a team led by two perrenial all-star players choke this much when it matters most for multiple years now. the entire tatum and brown era has been nothing but frustrations and disappointment. They're making me miss the IT era where they were underdogs overachieving, or hell even the 2013-2014 years when the team was rebuilding and there weren't any high-stakes expectations. Watching them back then was more fun than right now tbh
they'll completely blowout a team one night, and then lose handily to that same team the next night. this has been their pattern for years, since the Tatum-Brown era started. it's a consistency issue, which i don't think is coaching, it's heart. you can't coach heart.
People are so blinded by stats and 60 wins in the standings. It obvious this team doesn't have any leadership. They have no grit and just "expect" to win through talent, so when things get hard they struggle. They don't have a team captain like a Chauncey Billups or Kyle Lowry to keep them level headed and focused. The Clippers also have the same problem which is why they haven't won anything in 5 years with Kawhi Leonard, despite having the best roster in the NBA year after year.
It's always surprised me a little that people adore Tatum as a player when in actuality, he's not really that good. Some people say he's a great scorer, but he's not even in the top 20 all-time PPG. For example, for his career, he's a 23.1 PPG scorer in 513 games, totaling 11,852 points. In the playoffs, it goes up slightly to 23.8 ppg. His advanced stats are even worse. For example, his PER goes from 20.1 in the regular season to 19.1 in the playoffs. In contrast, Luka Doncic in only 400 career games has 11,470 points and is the third-leading PPG scorer in NBA history behind Jordan and Chamberlain. Not to mention his production goes up significantly to 32.5 ppg in the playoffs, which ranks second all-time, only behind Michael Jordan. His PER in the regular season goes from 25.7 to 27.6 in the playoffs. Some people have “IT”. Some people don't.
Lmfao this is gold as a Heat fan 😂😂. Although listen, we did have an insane night shooting 3s. You can't expect that to continue so you have to find other ways to still beat them. But my god, could you imagine if they actually pull this off, without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier?
Thank you for this vid as a Celtics fan. Captures our collective frustration perfectly. While the Heat shot a ridiculous and unsustainable 23-43 from 3, it was STILL a winnable game and they blew it with untimely turnovers and bricks
that's what I'm saying, yeah the win last night was awesome but we can't get too cocky as Heat fans because you can't expect to make that many 3s on a consistent basis. And we know how Boston is with the 3 ball. There will continue to be adjustments and competition and we'll see what happens. And also yeah, despite their historic night from 3 the game was still close. The 3 ball kept them in the game, if they're not hitting 3s like that they probably get blown out again
The only way for Eric, while in Miami, to play against Bron in the Playoffs is if Bron forms another superteam in the east conference. Cause let's face it, he's more likely to form another superteam rather than bring the lakers to the conference finals.
As talented as the Celtics are and regardless their league-best season record, I was never fully sold on them being the title favorites mainly because of their play-style. It's either chucking up 3s or iso-iso-iso. When the going gets tough the team cohesiveness is lacking and that is on the coaches, who don't seem to have a plan B, if plan A isn't working. In this game, it certainly didn't help that Heat were hot from 3, but Celtics coaching staff were unable to come up with any kind of counter-measures the whole game.
You couldn’t wait to make this video huh? 😂 It took a historic shooting night for the Heat to win one game then proceeded to get killed in every other game. Are the Celtics still bums?
The best version is Jason Tatum was when he was in the 2022-2023 post season facing the warriors and being forced into a scoring/ facilitating role on offense; it forced him to find that balance between the two while initiating the offense. I think Jason Tatum should run point gurad. They place Derrick white at SF, JB at sg and trade jrue holiday for a versatile defensive PF like Pat willams or Jarred Vanderbilt.M, Aaron Gordon ( They won’t get AG) but someone who fills that role like those players because JT at PF isn’t that and it limits him offensively because he’s not initiating the offense/ getting as many shots
@@skap_attack It was just an extraordinary 3p shooting night for Miami. Very hard to repeat that kind of shooting. I would be super surprised if Miami wins another game.
What in the Name of Affirmative Action is, going on with sports teams coaching hiring system. What’s on their RESUMES? Qualifications? Experience? Anything or are we just supposed to, not question the hiring practices of these franchises.
Exactly you gotta get them out of there in 4 games and rest up for the next series. Can't take the foot off the gas and the Celtics seen to have that issue.
On one-hand I enjoy triumphant underdogs, on the other-hand the solution almost always revolve around "shoot more threes" nowadays (Miami was 23/43 from three-ball).
The bigger problem is their coach. They don't have a capable person steering the ship when needed. The players have bad habits and regress to 3s as always. They don't know when to shoot less 3s, when it's not falling, not versitile like Denver.
When I see Eric Spoelstra, I always think back when LeRoids tried to get him fired in 2011.
I'll never forget that, and I'll never forget LeBlame James for that... 🤣

Because Kerr and Pop have more rings, even though they have struggled to win much without the core players they won all their championships with. A mark of a great coach is winning with different rosters, and Spo has long since crossed over to that level
Bro is a certified Celtics hater. Can tell he does not watch any games. How’s the series going now after the heat made their franchise record in threes
That Cinderella reference was Gold😂😂
I swear. Just saw that as I read your comment bro😂
Well this didn’t age well
Coach Spo is soooo good at in-game adjustments.
Joe got out coached.
Lets see how they respond in game 3.
lol, yeah...Spo said, "Take 43 threes and hit 23 of them."
Really an all around brilliant gameplan on his part to tell them to hit over 50% of their threes...
@@leq6992cope
Miami Warm busted them up!
LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And they don't have Himmy Buckets as well. 😉
The edge that Miami has in coaching is huge. That fact alone gives them a shot to win.
I feel like Kenny Smith's takes are usually obvious or wrong, but when he said Brown and Tatum relies on their talent and not their effort he hit the nail on the head
Kareem-Robertson
Wilt-Jerry West
MJ-(no need to even mention the sidekick)
Curry-KD
Tatum-Brown
Spot the weak link...
Well, I’ll mention him, Scottie Pippin, the guy MJ won a total of ZERO championships without 😄
@@Riles3152 pippin won zero DPOYs.
@@Riles3152 To be fair, MJ played 3 seasons before Scottie, 1 of which he got injured early and played only 8 games, and 2 seasons after Scottie when he was in his late 30s had no help, and ended up getting hurt. And MJ certainly did a lot when Scottie was choking his brains out. When you look at the rest of the list all of the other "side kicks" were frequently the best player on the court. Very much Superman and Batman type duos rather than Batman and Robin duos.
@@kostastube2010 Look, I'm no Pippen fan either. I think he was overrated as an all-time player, but in proper perspective, he was basically the perfect "Robin" to MJ's "Batman". He was a very good overall player and 2-way player. I know people don't like him or even can't stand him because of his cringingly continual hating on MJ, but in all objectivity, he's one of the greatest #2 guys in NBA history.
Holiday is averaging 7.5 points on 30% shooting in these two games.
That's who Giannis won a championship with. That's also the level of player Jamal Murray would be without Joker. That's what Klay Thompson would be without Steph.
Real great players can win with that supporting cast. They don't "need more help" every single year.
I don't really agree with that. Jrue was a dog in New Orleans.
I think he is just old now (he'll be 34 in a month). The problem for Boston is he just signed a 4 year contract totaling $134 million. The Celts are stuck with him now.
You are right about the other 2 though. Both of those players would be serviceable without Nikola and Steph.
To use a football reference: There are a lot of 2s and 3s masquerading and getting paid as 1s. In the NBA, there are truly a handful of 1s but the league wants you to think there are dozens of them.
@jaypeoples3044 Even when he was a 30yo player in the Bucks, he would still shoot between 30 and 40% in the playoffs, especially when it mattered most. He has just always been bad on offence in the playoffs, but that was masked by how good Giannis was, the same way all great players cover for their teammates' inefficiencies and make them appear much better than they truly are.
Speaking of bums.....LeBum's about to get swept TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jrue Holiday still has PTSD from last playoffs
🤣
If you ever have the chance to come watch a game in Toronto, please thank Darko Rajakovic for a permanent sound bite in one of the best basketball channels around! IT'S A COMPLETE CRAP!
Coach Spo continues to be underrated. It almost seems that he will never win coach of the year because James tried to get him fired when he was with the Heat. Meaning, LeBron thinking he was not a good coach made the media and all his fans think that too. If that's the case then it's really damn sad. Thank god for Pat Riley
tatum just isn’t a guy you wanna build around he doesn’t have the killer instinct required to win in the playoffs
How does a 60 win team lose to a 46 win team without their 2 best players and at their home.
We aren't going to talk about OKC CRUSHING the Pelicans by 30? "Worst number 1 seed in history"? The Thunders new mascot should be the Exon Valdez because they just killed a pelican.
This channel only revolves around hating on Lebron, glazing Kobe, and occasionally propping up other players to again attack Lebron. Skap is not concerned with nba journalism or the nba at all. He thinks the league is trash now
@@danielbattle7620sounds like you want to cry 😂 if you want lebum glazing content, go to lespn 😂😂
Because it is irrelevant. The Pelicans are not supposed to win games, especially with Zion out. If Thunder crushes the top four seeds, then we will talk.
Who cares about the pelicans getting beat.
Let's stop acting like okc was a clear first seed.
@@danielbattle7620 Well he's right. The league is trash right now. I only watch during the playoffs because that's when the players actually compete.
Notice the level of intensity and effort now vs. the regular season. Hell, points are down by double digits already and we're not even a week into the second season.
Video brought to you by a casual fan after game 2.
I am a die hard Celtics fan.
Have been since their worst season ever in 1996-97.
Watching the Celtics completely crap all over themselves the last 5 years in the playoffs has made me start to question life.
This team is stacked and yet always shoots themselves in the foot.
Embarrassing to watch how many times they didn’t hedge and didn’t go over on screens.
Wow. That video was amazing. You said all the perfect points with impeccable delivery. Well done
Pat Riley has to be held accountable for not getting enough talent for the Heat over the years
This team makes me so nervous when the game is close. We never should have gotten rid of Udoka IMO.
This video got old real quick 😆 🤣
@2:46 and @4:37 I fell out!! 😂😂😂 Great editing and great analysis as always Skap!!
When you have the time, I'm looking forward to a video on the small forward position of the 1980s. I want to see what you have to say about the mighty Bernard King.
Don't forget: Andrew Wiggins is Tatum's father. Bro got outplayed so bad on the only stage that really matters...
When the celtics coach attempted to actually block an opposing player on the court i knew he was clueless
Slightly off topic but, in 1971, the top three all time in points per game were Wilt, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West, all on the Lakers.
If LeFlop had been on that team, they would have lost and he would have claimed he didn't have enough help.
They better hope the Heat can’t extend this series far enough for Jimmy to consider playing early…
Jimmy may very well be out for the rest of the season even if they make the Finals, so that's not in the cards unfortunately. Not looking likely that Terry will be playing this series either
@@davidriedy5977 damn that’s super unfortunate. I honestly think they could’ve made a finals run. They have the Celtics number historically and match up very well. From there the field is wide open.
Skap your take is always so sharp yet so entertaining. Keep up the good work!
What would be more embarassing: the Celtics losing to the 8th seed Heat with Jimmy Butler, or the Lakers getting swept by the Nuggets...again?
Your title always makes my day lol
This didn't age well huh? How is it looking there with those Miami bums after getting massacred 3 straight games? LMAO
Gonna wait for Skap's Nuggets game summary 😂😂😆😆
These bums are probably going to come out swinging next game, but this zombie Heat team will probably take the punches and continue playing, and that’s what should worry Celtics fans. Boston has to get used to being uncomfortable and stop assuming teams will fold early on. So, if the Heat eventually come back from whatever lead Boston gets, like I assume they will, that’s when we’ll find out what this version of the Celts is really made of.
Unfortunately for Celtics fans I think the peak of this core was their 2-1 finals lead over the warriors. They blew their best shot and will most likely split the team up in the near future.
Bro love your content! Thx for keeping ish real 👍🏼
My pleasure! And many thanks to you for coming out and supporting me. I appreciate you 🙏❤️
Hey Skap, Celtics fan here since the 80s thanks for calling my team out. They need to get it together!
What is the matter? No Celtics choking posts today?
He made a video just because of a fluke game… they did that on purpose to finish in Boston and sell tickets
Today they showed up
He’s a Celtic hater he’s crying in his little bed since he knows they about to win it all now😂
Checking back in…
I don't think anybody's here, lol😂
where's the follow up video to this?? 🤣
Apparently Celtics still giving us the similar choke Celtics vibe. This is why tough mentality is so important especially in playoff.
Got to be some of the most deluded heat fans in here. Great for believing in your team, but when you cant realize that it took your "lukewarm heat" to shoot a record 23 3s to beat the celtics by 10, idk what to tell yea. Point differential was 78 points this series. Lost by an average of 22.6 points in the last 3 games. Learn to tell the difference between the norm and a rarity because clearly many of you struggle with that.
All the media will talk about is how the Celtics lost and not how the heat won.
Heat had to shoot at a historic pace last night. I understand being amped about a W, but we're talking about a version of the Heat that franchise has never seen. Great win but a little perspective is necessary.
Nope. What the Heat showed is thar they belong. In a redraft, jaquez and jovic would be lottery picks. So lowkey the Heat morr firepower than most would think.
You better pray it doesn't go 3-1 in heats favor or 2-2 at the very least that's how you know it's not a fluke
To be fair, a lot of that was bad defense, not them making tough shots.
@@jjcometa9333it indeed was a fluke…
@@Averagedre yup😂
As a celtics fan, I can't even be mad at the ridicule this team is getting right now. how can a team led by two perrenial all-star players choke this much when it matters most for multiple years now. the entire tatum and brown era has been nothing but frustrations and disappointment. They're making me miss the IT era where they were underdogs overachieving, or hell even the 2013-2014 years when the team was rebuilding and there weren't any high-stakes expectations. Watching them back then was more fun than right now tbh
As Skap once said, Tatum is a perennial All-Choke First Teamer lol
they'll completely blowout a team one night, and then lose handily to that same team the next night. this has been their pattern for years, since the Tatum-Brown era started.
it's a consistency issue, which i don't think is coaching, it's heart. you can't coach heart.
Celtics look good after this series. Good warm up.
People are so blinded by stats and 60 wins in the standings. It obvious this team doesn't have any leadership. They have no grit and just "expect" to win through talent, so when things get hard they struggle.
They don't have a team captain like a Chauncey Billups or Kyle Lowry to keep them level headed and focused.
The Clippers also have the same problem which is why they haven't won anything in 5 years with Kawhi Leonard, despite having the best roster in the NBA year after year.
Celtics gotta sign Udonis Haslem
It's always surprised me a little that people adore Tatum as a player when in actuality, he's not really that good. Some people say he's a great scorer, but he's not even in the top 20 all-time PPG. For example, for his career, he's a 23.1 PPG scorer in 513 games, totaling 11,852 points. In the playoffs, it goes up slightly to 23.8 ppg. His advanced stats are even worse. For example, his PER goes from 20.1 in the regular season to 19.1 in the playoffs. In contrast, Luka Doncic in only 400 career games has 11,470 points and is the third-leading PPG scorer in NBA history behind Jordan and Chamberlain. Not to mention his production goes up significantly to 32.5 ppg in the playoffs, which ranks second all-time, only behind Michael Jordan. His PER in the regular season goes from 25.7 to 27.6 in the playoffs. Some people have “IT”. Some people don't.
Waiting for Skap's GOAT postgame 3 analysis
Game 3 is a must win for Boston. All the pressure is on them. If they lose game 3 then I don’t think they have the mental fortitude to bounce back.
Title of the year 😂
Lmfao this is gold as a Heat fan 😂😂. Although listen, we did have an insane night shooting 3s. You can't expect that to continue so you have to find other ways to still beat them. But my god, could you imagine if they actually pull this off, without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier?
Isaiah Thomas was a helluva player in Detroit, but no one talks about him cause of MJ 😢
I love the channel, but Tatum sprained his ankle early in game 7 last year lol why is this forgotten?
Doesn't fit the narrative lol
As a Celtic fangirl It's shameful to see such a talented roster go to waste by a limited and arrogant coach as Mazzulla
Thank you for this vid as a Celtics fan. Captures our collective frustration perfectly. While the Heat shot a ridiculous and unsustainable 23-43 from 3, it was STILL a winnable game and they blew it with untimely turnovers and bricks
that's what I'm saying, yeah the win last night was awesome but we can't get too cocky as Heat fans because you can't expect to make that many 3s on a consistent basis. And we know how Boston is with the 3 ball. There will continue to be adjustments and competition and we'll see what happens. And also yeah, despite their historic night from 3 the game was still close. The 3 ball kept them in the game, if they're not hitting 3s like that they probably get blown out again
Coach Spo could coach just about any damn player to mediocrity. He truly is best coach in the league by a faaaaar margin
The only way for Eric, while in Miami, to play against Bron in the Playoffs is if Bron forms another superteam in the east conference.
Cause let's face it, he's more likely to form another superteam rather than bring the lakers to the conference finals.
the heat in the playoffs play like a western conference team, i don’t think boston understands that
Celtics and Lakers both looking nothing like their historical legacies. Disgraceful and rather depressing.
How does the Celtics allow the Heat to hit 23 3s at home
The worst part is it could've been more, but the Heats passed up a lot of open 3s for a long stretch before the last run.
Absolutely PATHETIC.
As talented as the Celtics are and regardless their league-best season record, I was never fully sold on them being the title favorites mainly because of their play-style. It's either chucking up 3s or iso-iso-iso. When the going gets tough the team cohesiveness is lacking and that is on the coaches, who don't seem to have a plan B, if plan A isn't working.
In this game, it certainly didn't help that Heat were hot from 3, but Celtics coaching staff were unable to come up with any kind of counter-measures the whole game.
I'm not worried about it one bit. It's only one game. The Celtics are still winning this series easily
Exactly we be alright
You couldn’t wait to make this video huh? 😂 It took a historic shooting night for the Heat to win one game then proceeded to get killed in every other game. Are the Celtics still bums?
Yee this is a bad look for him
The best version is Jason Tatum was when he was in the 2022-2023 post season facing the warriors and being forced into a scoring/ facilitating role on offense; it forced him to find that balance between the two while initiating the offense. I think Jason Tatum should run point gurad. They place Derrick white at SF, JB at sg and trade jrue holiday for a versatile defensive PF like Pat willams or Jarred Vanderbilt.M, Aaron Gordon ( They won’t get AG) but someone who fills that role like those players because JT at PF isn’t that and it limits him offensively because he’s not initiating the offense/ getting as many shots
Yes sir let’s go heat!!!!!!
STUNNING win last night in my opinion.
@@skap_attack It was just an extraordinary 3p shooting night for Miami. Very hard to repeat that kind of shooting. I would be super surprised if Miami wins another game.
What in the Name of Affirmative Action is, going on with sports teams coaching hiring system. What’s on their RESUMES? Qualifications? Experience? Anything or are we just supposed to, not question the hiring practices of these franchises.
Miami advances to the second round congrats 🤣
im actually disappointed with the Celtics... imagine being beaten by MIA with no Butler is a shame on that team
Exactly you gotta get them out of there in 4 games and rest up for the next series. Can't take the foot off the gas and the Celtics seen to have that issue.
Imagine heat going 3-1 lead or 2-2 😂 celtics fans gonna be on suicide watch
On one-hand I enjoy triumphant underdogs, on the other-hand the solution almost always revolve around "shoot more threes" nowadays (Miami was 23/43 from three-ball).
The Celtics need to blow the team up if they don't make it to the finals and win it honestly.
The key to Miami's success is Coach Spo.
The bigger problem is their coach. They don't have a capable person steering the ship when needed. The players have bad habits and regress to 3s as always. They don't know when to shoot less 3s, when it's not falling, not versitile like Denver.
This just proves that the regular season no longer means anything...
Heat fans really think their team is like that 🫵🤣
If Boston doesn't get it done this year they need to totally rebuild that team
I 100% agree with your last statement.
