You read that right. The Celtic's aren't done YET. Key word being yet. They are damn close and if they play like they did last night then it will be.
It was a miracle the Celtic's were even in this game. They should've been down 100 as far as I'm concerned. They couldn't rebound, they couldn't hang on to the ball, and they couldn't score. Alright what I'm trying to say is they couldn't do anything right. Tatum had zero at the half, ZERO. Your top scorer has zero at half, not great. He then figures out how to play basketball in the 3rd and drops over 20 in the second half. Little too late. Now everyone is counting the Celtics out. They are down 3-1 and as a sports fan that's less than ideal. But being a Boston sports fan we know its not over until you're eliminated. The Celtics have lost these games, the Heat haven't won them as far as I'm concerned. The Celtics shot better from 3 and from the field last night than the Heat did. They have this whole series (I don't actually know if this stat is true but it feels like it). They have been leading for most of the series coming into last night. The Celtics turned the ball over 18 times. Tatum couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and no one could rebound. The fact they lost by 3 is a miracle.
Everyone is acting like the heat are blowing us out and taking it easy. They have barely skated by. The Celtics just look like they have never played basketball together before. I mean 18 turnovers is unacceptable on its own. Then you have Tatum not hitting shit until the second half. Then add in the amount of second chance points let up. It was absolutely brutal to watch. They couldn't do anything right. Right after what looked like their best game of the year. Maybe that is a bit of a stretch but still. All the Celtics need to do is play smart basketball. Back to the fundamentals.
This Heat team is not that good and we are making them look good. Don't get me wrong in a year or two they will be a team to be reckon with but as of right now the Celtics are the better team. They are just playing like the worse team. Most teams in the league would lose if they turned the ball over 18 times in one game. That is just careless basketball and they look like they have given up. I think they have the potential to come back. I think Marcus Smart just needs to yell at everyone after every game. Everyone is counting the Celtics out and I am worried for them. Don't count them out until the fat lady sings I refuse to believe it's over until it's official.
