Like I said after game 1, I am comfortable with 3-1 instead of clean 2-0. Now let us close the coffin in Boston. Go Heat, Go!

Damn. Gabe is questionable. I wonder what the minutes distribution will look like if he doesn't play. I can't imagine a ton of Lowry minutes to be a good idea.

Feels weird no NBA games today.

Good comments. Not much more to add. Boston played like they needed to and the Heat did not. Would be nice to close on the road, but my gut says this comes back to Miami. Go HEAT!

Yeah, I feel like it might end 4-2.

Yup. We had a clunker, lacked energy and intensity in the second half, and they didn’t miss. They were one of the best teams in the league for a reason and we knew that. I’ll be very happy with just one more win in this series.

Well, give ctedit to the Celtics. They finally played their game. And nothing was ever going to be easy. But, with three more chances, I still like our odds. We will need big games from a few players who were a little off last night, but it will come.

Nothing to worry about. Heat played too well for too long. Such game would happen sooner or later.

On to next one.

The "Turd Quarter" strikes again. At least they all sucked. Now all of them need to go into game 5 with big chips on their shoulders. Heat are 2-0 in Boston.

GO HEAT!

I was worried after the first quarter. The Heat were winning, but they weren't getting into passing lanes, deflecting the ball on defense, or winning 50/50 balls. I haven't seen the numbers, but the Heat supposedly lead the league in "hustle stats" in the playoffs. I'm willing to bet they lost those hustle stats tonight.

All that said, I called the Heat win in Game 2 when I was hanging out with a friend, and after the game he asked me what I thought would happen next. I said the Heat would split in Miami and close the Celtics out on their home floor. I still believe it. But if they don't win Game 5, I'm going to start worrying

Celts made their 3s Heat didn't. They had better ball movement and locked up on D. As a desperate team they responded well so props to them. Got to do it in Boston. Done it before. Twice actually. Bam will show up next game. Rest. Recover. Grind again. One win.
