Miami odds for tonight is crazy.

This is the most important game of the series. If the Celtics win then its normal service resumed but if Miami can pull it out, the Celtics chokejob train will be leaving the station and they'll collectively be shit right up. The analysts/social media will rip them apart also.

Celtics starting out too strong, Jaylen Brown making sure to balance it out with a little Mamba Mentality. A solid six points on 9 shots in the first eight minutes.

Maybe not tonight or even in this series but I fully expect Jason Tatum's annual postseason disappearing act to happen eventually.

When was the last time a playoff team had 12 points in the first quarter?

Happened in the third quarter of last game lol. I'm with you, he disappears to often for me to have enough confidence in him to have a killer instinct and take over games like his idol Kobe.

Btw, solid first quarter defensively. Offense was subpar outside of Jaylen early on.

It must be so wild to be Payton Pritchard. The majority of Americans really dont know many NBA players, and he is easily the least believable guy in the league if you just met him out and about and he said he was an NBA player. He probably has to pull out his phone constantly and show incredulous people clips of him dropping threes over Lebron and Curry because nobody believes him

Dallas scored 8 in the 2nd quarter the other night.

Gonna throw Tj Mcconnell in there too. Trae’s kinda famous so people know he can ball, but he felt shorter than me when I saw him(I’m 6’1). Like, noticeably. I felt like I could body this dude one on one(obviously I don’t stand a chance).

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the kid but until he goes on an entire postseason run where he doesn't go Houdini, I'm not buying into the hype.

His lack of a killer instinct in tough moments is where a lot of Celtics fans grow weary of him.

the Heat organization as a whole is just gonna have a tough time pondering whether this was a result from playing young and reckless, or finally playing up to their maturity.

I don't think he's that bad.
