4/29: Game 4@Miami

SVG dying on this ‘actually this is going well for Miami’ hill

 

[slamminsammya]

credit to miami making us uncomfortable on offense

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Even with a lead, Jaylen at the line still gives me heart palpitations.

 

[NavaHo]

I think KP Durant’d himself. Goddamn malpractice not taking him out when he started limping. They had 2-3 stoppages but asleep at the wheel.

 

[djbayko]

Damn

It didn't look good, but seeing Dave Robert's Shoes' avatar say "Damn" made me throw up in my mouth for a second.

If the Celts keep playing offense like this they’re going to lose.

 

[LynnRice75]

Van Gundy says everything twice like he’s doing both parts in the old SNL news for the hard of hearing bit.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Suck it, Martin

 

[JCizzle]

JB is giving us nothing

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

SVG is blowing his load over Boston allowing Jacquez to get open looks from 3, but that guy is shooting 27% for the series and 32% post ASB from 3. Maybe him shooting 3 is just fine.

Hopefully this is temporary for KP

I don’t think it’s SVG’s fault to be honest he has to make the game seem interesting even if it’s not.

 

[slamminsammya]

lol the process here is bad

[benhogan]

is Brown contractually obligated to jog back after a miss?

 

[timelysarcasm]

JB and JT have to be better than they have been - thank you Tatum

 

[Spelunker]

I'd really like to see Tatum receive the ball on the block

 

[osori]

Wow.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Jaylen can’t finish a paint look tonight

 

[tims4wins]

lol the process here is bad

It’s been bad for 10 minutes.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

how did they not pull him earlier at the first limp?????

That would require a time out.

 

[Shaky Walton]

Jaylen needs to wake the fuck up

This would make me very happy

 

[McBride11]

Sigh

Sigh

I get it is random, but if KP goes down for an extended period of time against fucking Miami. Im Buggs Bunnying Florida, or at least miami, Away

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Shoulda taken him out after he first started limping.

I don’t understand it.

 

[slamminsammya]

kinda out of sorts… and up 17

Didn’t look ankle to me but I’m not a Twitter doctor

 

[TripleOT]

36 points in the first half at home.

I'll take a rolled ankle with a Smart-like return from the dead (next game though), but it looked worse than that, especially with his reaction.

 

[Cellar-Door]

how did they not pull him earlier at the first limp?????

Proabably said he was fine and wanted to jog it off, guys do that with ankle rolls all the time.

This would be the best possible outcome

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Martin is such a spaz as long as you pressure him.

 

[bigq]

More Bam 3PA please. 17 point lead at half is nice. Hope KP is okay.

 

[LesterFan]

19-12 quarter.

 

[Mooch]

Is it possible that Porzingis is cramping?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

It didn't look good, but seeing Dave Robert's Shoes' avatar say "Damn" made me throw up in my mouth for a second.

I am owed zero dollars.

 

[Imbricus]

Jaquez committing the easiest goaltend call in the history of the NBA.

 

[TripleOT]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the Celtics with AL instead of KP are more able to lock down the Heat. Take a week off and heal up.

 

[JCizzle]

Kornet gets the backup minutes in the 2H?

 

[SteveF]

Well, if it's actually an ankle that would be best case scenario. Looked more like a muscle injury.

 

[thebutlerdidit]

SVG dying on this ‘actually this is going well for Miami’ hill

doubling down like his life depends on it as the miami scores 12 pts in the quarter

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Miami just makes these games ugly as hell and the offensive execution isn’t great but they’re up 17 and Miami can’t do shit against our defense so kinda just a shrug. Please be ok Porzingis.

 

[Shaky Walton]

We knew Porzingis would go down at some point.

He just better be able to come back. Not tonight. But soon.

 

[Eric Fernsten's Disco Mustache]

I got all my fingers and toes crossed for whatever happened with KP

That said, I would never imagine reading this thread that we just held the Heat to 36 points in a half, and held a double-digit lead for more or less the whole time

This is a beat down people.

And we should be able to get past the Heat and the Pacers with KP, if it comes to that

 

[Red Right Arm]

Kornet gets the backup minutes in the 2H?

I would be fine with Tillman coming in to knock Bam into the third row.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

If the Celts keep playing offense like this they’re going to lose.

Miami has 36 f'n points. 36!

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I'll take a rolled ankle with a Smart-like return from the dead (next game though), but it looked worse than that, especially with his reaction.

Yeah, I’ve never hoped for anyone to get an ankle sprain, but if a low sprain is the worst of it, we dodged a bullet. I honestly didn’t think it looked especially bad (ignoring KP’s past general fragility) until he pulled up his jersey.

 

[osori]

KP coming back fresh for the next series would be the best outcome. Honestly reducing his playing time and increasing Al's would only help our win chances in this series with how he is getting abused.

Doesn't look like an ankle, but I'm no doctor.

 

[TripleOT]

I like Tillman because he can switch better. Kornet has to play drop.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

I think KP Durant’d himself. Goddamn malpractice not taking him out when he started limping. They had 2-3 stoppages but asleep at the wheel.

What do you do if/when the player tells you he's ok? The player has to pull himself if he's injured. He probably didn't think it was bad.

 

[koufax32]

Well that changes everything. Bubble wrap the whole season and now he gets hurt.
