OGT 2/27/16 - Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

[zizozain]

20-10

10 minutes left, 1st Q

[BasedTom]

big game for the 3rd seed

[BasedTom]

****, celtics are right back in this

[r0drig0lac]

good game

[BasedTom]

wade's having a rough outing so far

but I think most of the blame for the C's coming back goes to switching out Deng for Green

[zizozain]

33-33

[WayOfWade]

Dangit, this game has to be right as I go play ball, I'll watch recaps later

Green is the worst player in the NBA right now. Can't believe how awful he's been the last month or more.

[InsanityKills]

Green is trash, every time they pass it to him the possession basically ends.

[PJR]

When Joe Johnson signs, Green's out of the rotation.

Hope we could nab Marcus Thronton too

[PJR]

Josh Richardson has been throughly impressive in his stint in the rotation.

[BasedTom]

wade playing kobe ball unfortunately

[kNIOKAS]

I might watch a quarter or two.

Hilldog's commercials are so sickening. Good that Bernie's aired just before hers, and made her look like a turncoat she is.

[r0drig0lac]

Amare :eek:

[kNIOKAS]

Looks like Celtics is going to win it. Wade ruining my fantasy team's percentages :mad:

[Derka]

Wade moving like he's wearing cement shoes out there.

[BasedTom]

heat once again playing like shit coming out of the half

[Derka]

Sorry Avery, only Lebron gets to elbow people on his way to the rim :lol

[WadeStan]

Richardson is legit. Showing more 2-wayness than Winslow in recent games.

[BasedTom]

Sorry Avery, only Lebron gets to elbow people on his way to the rim :lol
celtics have been mugging the heat all day. Clearly the more physical team

I was surprised they actually made that call.

[Derka]

Sick block. Richardson's a gamer.

[WadeStan]

Got dam Richardson :bowdown:

[r0drig0lac]

Wade :applause:

[PJR]

Richardson was the steal of last years draft

[r0drig0lac]

Goatside is a beast

[WadeStan]

Whiteside with the dumb bite on the fake... but hell of a recovery

[zizozain]

Hassan .. last 3 plays :applause: :applause: :applause:

[BasedTom]

****ing Hell Why Is Green Getting All These Minutes

[Dresta]

**** me: get Gerald Green the hell out of there!

[Derka]

Scared to death of Whiteside. Should be, too. Once again, we have a very hard time against size.

[WadeStan]

Green GTFO

[PJR]

Gerald Green has killed the Heat. Empty possesion as soon as he rises up to shoot.

[masonanddixon]

Dragic is creampieing Isiah Thomas. Yet another PG getting murdered by Goran.

[Derka]

A travel, a 3-seconds and two fouls in about 2 seconds...talk about letting them play.

[BasedTom]

green has spoelstra nudes. something has to be going on

[Wade's Rings]

Float like a butterfly, sting like Hassan Whiteside.

[WadeStan]

Ok put Wade back in now

[kNIOKAS]

The block party continues. I wonder whether it's Cs who's never faced a more intimidating shot blocker inside, or Celtics being stupid attempting suspect shots regardless.

[aj1987]

Ok put Wade back in now
**** that. Dumbass wants to take 16 footers when he can't make them. The whole team, as a matter of fact.

Drive, you ****ing idiots.

EDIT: That's ****ing game.

[BasedTom]

**** this rollercoaster of a season

[Wade's Rings]

Looking like this Game might be over.

[WadeStan]

Tough call... probably a bad one

[BasedTom]

biggest lead of the game out of nowhere for the celtics. same shit happened against GS

what a ****ing waste

[Derka]

I don't love when players do that on three-point shots, and I especially don't like it when our guys do it.

[aj1987]

**** this rollercoaster of a season
The game is definitely on Wade. Retard wants to take midrange jumpers when he can't make a jumper to save his life.

Now he wants to drive... :facepalm

[Wade's Rings]

Game over.

[BasedTom]

how the heat lost the 3rd seed

[Wade's Rings]

Wade's jumper has been off all year. He made a couple and I guess he thought he was hot.

[InsanityKills]

No offensive flow at all.:facepalm

[WadeStan]

Sigh... Shut down Isaiah Thomas and still an L.

[masonanddixon]

Dragic has been playing great though at least.

[Wade's Rings]

how the heat lost the 3rd seed

How many more games do we have against them?

Edit: Eric Reid just said there's 1 left.

[aj1987]

****ing idiots. Winnable games, this one the last one, but they just threw them away. **** this team. This is the first Heat game I actually tried watching since a while. I said I wouldn't watch one tip Spo is fired, but I did and this loss is on Wade.

I really hope someone punches Wade in his ****ing face. Dude needs to KNOW that he CAN'T shoot! Retard!

[BasedTom]

the bright (white)side:

-heat had the toughest february season in the league and still played fairly well. granted the ASG removed a week out of the month
-boston has a tougher schedule going forward than the heat
-joe johnson can't possily be any worse than gerald green
-jrichardson looks like a good defender and overall contributor
-**** boston

[kNIOKAS]

Thanks for nothing, Wade :lol

take care everybody

[Dresta]

EDIT: That's ****ing game.
Drive? It's like you don't watch this team. Driving gets you nowhere against good defensive teams when you have a grand total of zero 3-point threats. This whole game was guys driving into traffic and turning the ball over. You can't be so one-dimensional against a good defensive team and expect to get anywhere.

What were we, 1-12 from 3? and about 8 of those were wide open.

[Kevin_Garnett_5]

Big win. I'm really digging this years team. Even though they aren't built for the Playoffs at all. Luckily with a weak East, we might still be able to make a deep run.

[Black and White]

:banana:

That's just this season's Heat for you. Not remotely surprising.

Where's Bill/Henry Walker? I'd rather see him chucking than gerald

It's obvious that we're shit from deep. Wade, has been properly bad from midrange this season. Yet, he decided to chuck up a couple of them when the score was close. I'm a massive Wade stan, but I love the Heat more. Dude should've drove into the paint rather than chucking up 16 footers.

He was hitting 3s at a solid clip last year IIRC. I wanted to keep him. Green has been awful the last couple of Games.

Properly bad defender (Walker).

Green flat out sucks ass though.

20 TOs to 11

1 of 13 from 3

That's where the game was lost (i.e. lack of spacing). You can't win games by just driving into traffic; the Celtics just clogged the paint all game long; Wade's TO was criminal, his taking jumpshots really isn't when no-one else seems willing to take them, and no one else can make them either (Deng can't make anything atm--think his finger is bothering him). Dragic needs to be a 3 point threat if this team is going to be any good (and Joe Johnson will help).

You really can't be simple enough to think Boston is just gonna let Wade drive to the basket when there is no-one spacing the floor; what you're asking for is an impossibility. You need spacing in the modern NBA--simple as that.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Celts will get bounced 1st or 2nd round, but damn this team is fun.

Now if Brooklyn want to stop winning, that'd be cool

[LARRY BROWN]

Celtics win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bird is jumping for joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:coleman:

[WadeStan]

Green flat out sucks ass though.

Dude is one of most mentally weak players in the league. He's literally lost the ability to do anything positive on the floor. Fine, his shot is (way) off. But on top of that, he can't pass, can't board, can't dribble.

[Smoke117]

Gerald Green is averaging 6.3ppg on 6.7 shots during February...couple that with his usual horrible defense and he's just a pathetic joke out there. He averaged 9.5 points on 9.6 shots in january...so this isn't anything new either. We brought him in to get some scoring on the bench and he's done nothing for us.

green was leading the warrior game in +/- through 3 quarters with out even scoring

wade and whiteside had the worst +/- tonight

Well that changes everything doesn't it? 25 mins 0 points 0 assist 1 TO. Shut the hell up.

Single coverage and Wade decides to take horrible midrange jumpers with time on the clock. Not only that, a huge TOV in the clutch. Come on, dude. I love Wade, but this loss is definitely on him. Dude played like shit in the 4th.

Meh, the paint wasn't too clogged. We missed a couple of shots we should've made (in the paint).

I do agree with you that Miami DESPERATELY needs spacing. I don't understand why Pat always ignore the most crucial part of the teams' deficiencies. When LeBron was here, we had a ton of 3pt shooters and never a rebounder/rim protector, even though we desperately needed one. Since last season we've needed 3&d guys and we have none. We do have a rim protector and a rebounder though.

[Wally450]

Damn, Isaiah Thomas had a rough game. Good thing we picked up a W. 10 in a row at home I believe?
