Refs are calling contact at least but the offensive foul double standard is so fuckin weird.

Does it feel like the Cs arent playing particularly well but Miami is just missing EVERYTHING?
Spro is a bit hamstrung with all the injuries, but running the same play 30 times in a row against a locked in Boston defense isn’t great coaching.

Boston let up a bit defensively in that second quarter. Hopefully they will push this lead in the first six minutes of the second half.

My Roku remote doesn’t have a mute button. I’ve had to track down my tv remote, which does, because of these Google and Wing Stop ads. Just turning the volume down to 0 isn’t fast enough.

We let them suck us down into their pit of misery and garbage and we didn't far well down there.

We need to rise it above it, like a . . . thing that rises above another thing.

where I was last at
I would love to hear Steve Jaffe (or whatever the ref analysts name is) explain some of these calls and non calls. They seem so inconsistent as to be arbitrary.

Downside is that if they let us know what a pro wants what a pro needs, you'll miss it.

What is he supposed to do? A year ago he played against a team that was prepared to commit collective suicide if you gave them permission to take their foot off the gas.

This year he's playing against some bad-ass m*fuckers who would rather rip his throat out.

I mean, maybe... just maybe... Spo operates within the same constraints that all other coaches do. And isn't magically immune from them.

But that would be crazy talk
