Boston recovered nicely after getting outscored 22-2, they were only outscored 17-12 the rest of the 3rd quarter

basically Celtics bring the ball down, turn it over, Heat get transition points, and then they take turns shooting free throws. rumor is that the Celtics have a covid outbreak.

definitely too early to call the series yet. in particular dallas is a team that gets much better as the series goes on. and a lot of their role players generally play poorly on the road. i wouldn't write them off yet by any means.

boston idk but i'm thinking miami does win that series

Well, I thought Dallas was done after the first two games last round, so I'm not making any declarations quite yet.

I think Miami wins, mostly because they're just healthier right now.

the extra 3 days of rest, home court, and health are massive advantages for miami, yeah. hope the celtics can pull through, but it looks rough right now.

oh, and derrick white is missing the game tonight for the birth of his child

Dallas couldn't hit most of their 3's in that 3rd

but also Draymond is in serious foul trouble

Everyone said Dallas was done after they were down 2-0 to Phoenix, too. Not quite ready to make that proclamation just yet. I don't expect them to win the series but they can definitely take a couple games.

i think theoretically possible to have a non-excruciating loss in the playoffs, but all of ours so far have been miserable

think game 1 vs the bucks is probably the least godawful

Man, someone just showed me some Fultz propaganda stats

Fultz was in the 2nd percentile for shot quality at the rim last season (i.e. He was taking almost the hardest shots in the league at the rim)

Despite this Fultz was:

92nd percentile at rim shot makes
96th percentile at contact finish rate
98th percentile in unassisted rim field goals made

He also ranked

99th percentile in assisted points per 75
100th percentile in valuable assists created per 75

(I had to look up what 'valuable assists' are classed as and it's basically dunks / wide open 3s are classed as most valuable)

He still doesn't have a 3 point shot but the metrics make it look like if he did, he'd project as all NBA. Granted sample size of the above is only like 20 games so small

Yeah the Celts were 24% from 3 when they pulled starters. They just didnt turn the ball over as much - if they can keep away from that then they are the better team, but again Miami is just so good at forcing the Celtics into bad offense.
