Ouch

 

[srobbo]

We’ve gotta stop puckering up with leads late. Bad shot selection & trying to protect leads won’t cut it. We need to keep the foot to the throat. Ffs this should’ve been won in regulation.

 

[eth-dog]

Goddamnit. Didn't get to see it but you shouldn't be giving up a 12 point lead in the last with a defence like ours. Disappointing.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Really bitter and angry right now.. We pissed that game away, Kemba and Tatum esp let us down in crunch time. Don't think Brad made the right substitutions or tactics down the stretch either.

Day has been ruined.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Has Kemba been found out these playoffs? He's getting lost in games too often.

To be fair, I think his knee is still not 100 %.
Really hope Gordy comes back for game 2.

 

[srobbo]

If Hayward’s good to go, he has to play G2. No point waiting until we’re potentially 2-0 down. His playmaking down the stretch could be the difference in a series that will go the distance.

 

[Borough Blood]

I love Kemba but his 3 point shooting is just nowhere near.
I feel like we are never a chance as soon as it hits OT. As said before, need to blitz at the start of the 4th and make it impossible for Miami.

 

[srobbo]

If we lose from here the series is done. Again we’ve done the work to get a substantial lead, Stevens needs to remind them to keep playing aggressively & stay away from the iso ball s**t that brings us undone.

Keep the foot down lads!!

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Extremely annoyed and disappointed. Starting to really wonder if Brad Stevens is our guy to lead us to banner #18.

 

[srobbo]

It’s becoming a bit of a joke now. 17pt lead evaporates in 5 mins. Stevens is becoming a really bad match day coach & we’re really only surviving on heart than nouse.

Why isn’t timelord playing? Unless he’s injured, surely he could’ve been thrown in when Bam carved us in the 3rd??

Hayward has to play G3!

[Wally Walpamur]

I've been super disappointed in Kemba and Brown.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Thank Christ for that.

Brown and Smart were huge, esp Cobra late.

 

[Borough Blood]

4 days break, hopefully Gordy pulls up well. Rusty but he makes a big difference off the bench and means we don’t need to play Semi.

 

[srobbo]

Much better adjustment to the Miami zone today. A total team performance & glad we stood up in the face of a couple of late runs.

Gordy back with his playmaking & D makes a difference. Let’s get G4!

 

[eth-dog]

Absolutely must win game 4. Need more of the same as today.

Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown were massive. Hayward too was vital with his cool head. Thinking we go:

Kemba/Smart/Brown/Tatum/Theis
Wanamaker/Hayward/Williams/Kanter

As the groupings. Would love to see Williams get an opportunity at the 4 at times.

 

[Memphis]

Wow.

 

[srobbo]

Tatum needs to pull his finger out!! Scoreless first half ffs....unacceptable! Looks timid today, needs to recalibrate & get his head right at HT.

 

[Memphis]

Needs to attack the rim more.

 

[eth-dog]

We're certainly struggling offensively. A 15 point second half from Tatum and we can win

 

[Soups]

Needs to attack the rim more.

The whole team does. Worked well for us last game and we have totally gone away from that. We also look ultra flat.

Miami want it more than us atm.

 

[Soups]

Good to see JT entered the game

 

[eth-dog]

Great 3rd quarter. Let's run over the top now.
