#2 CELTICS at #1 HEAT | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | May 19, 2022

[@Somong]

The Celtics did what they needed to do. "A series doesn't start until the home team loses." I love this series so far. Box office!

[@marquisbryant1986]

Was thinking same. I would love to see a Warrior/Celtics finals. That would be exciting. I think Heat still 1 in Boston. 2-2 coming back to Miami. This will probably go 7

[@runtherace189]

If the Celtics play like they really want it every game… it’s over in 5. They are that good! Tatum, Brown & Smart have that heart/mentality you cannot teach. Other fans just keep 😴 You can put Batman & Big Al in there too.

Sorry to break it to Miami Heat fans, but Celtics have been the better team for 7 out of 8 quarters, including 1 disastrous/preventable one that costed a game. I think its very likely Boston protects home court to make it 3-1. I'll be somewhat surprised if it goes 6. This looks like a championship team, coming from a Lakers fan.

Marcus Smart's toughness and intensity has bled into this entire Celtics team.

I believe other teams often look fatigued in the final minutes against the Celtics as a result.

[@michaelconstantinemiranda2352]

@@robb317 you might be right. But the only way GSW wins the title against Boston is if the C's are totally outmatched. Steph is the greatest shooter of all time but I still dont trust him to be a closer in tight games. That's why they couldn't get it done in '16 and had to get KD. One thing they couldn't do against the celtics though is hunt someone on defense.

[@robb317]

@@michaelconstantinemiranda2352 Poole/Wiggins are new editions that are doing quite well. in 16' they just dropped the ball when they should've won. For me the best shooter of all time is a toss up between Steph & Dirk although the slight edge probably goes to Steph, but Dirk is def the best 7ft shooter of all time. Dirk is more clutch for me than Steph. Dirk had the 2nd hardest shot to block in history only behind Kareem. He just never shot as much as Steph, 2 different positions. If Smart contains Steph then Boston has a fighting chance. Celtics match up better to GSW. Miami I think would lose in 5.

Heat defense gambled on leaving the outside shots with soft defense and tonight, the 3s were falling for the Celtics.

Brandon Stanley Celtics players played like they did in middle school that is why very low IQ passing which led to PATHETIC 3rd Q and gave the lead and game away! Heat had 18-2 run in 3rd Q! It got worse! I was upset as they made the same dumb passes over and over again. Lazy passes behind the back passes etc! These are the kinds of passes you make in MIDDLE SCHOOL not the NBA! It was a disgrace honestly! Watch the way PP passes he makes smart hustle plays all the time. Loose balls taking smart shots making good passes even out rebounding guys a foot or more bigger than him. The rebound he got in the Bucks game 6 or 7 then passed it to Smart who hit the open 3 was a beautiful thing to watch! PP makes a huge impact in so many ways for the little time he plays! I was very glad to have AL and Smart back!

Ben Alebayo need to step up down the paint. Once Celtic got the 10 point lead it was over. Heat need to be a head or keep the game close. Tyler Hero should not be taking the ball down the other end. He doesn’t what to do with the ball all he wants to do is shoot 3s.

@@odomisan you would think a championship caliber coach would know this strategy doesn't work after it didn't work for the Bucks like 5 days ago. A lot of those threes were practice shots.
