Comments from the Other Side - Heat Game 1 5/1
Heat fans included the wheelchair reference and the geriatric Celtics references but they didn't have many complaints about the refs. That's because they realized that the refs gift wrapped this win for them. Rebounds were even. C's had 1 more assist. Celtics had 3 fewer turnovers. Heat had a better FG% but the Celtics had a better percentage on 3's. The difference is that Miami shot 32 free throws while the Celtics shot 18. But we can't really blame any loss on the refs because if the Celtics played better they could win regardless of the officiating. The Celtics need just 1 win in Miami to get this and they have 4 tries to get it and after the way game 1 went, the Celtics are like a hornet's nest and the Heat stuck their hand in it.
Blow out for us Heat by 22
Unlike Philly Heat know that Boston is the real ****ing deal.. We will show up.. Enough of the b.s
Energy please, if we play with that energy we played with against PHI then we're screwed.
They will be lucky to go 5 games, we will win the first 3 games and if they don't get their act together by game 4, they're getting swept.
Total trap game. The Celtics will be totally different than the Sixers. Miami has got to keep settled, and put Boston in tough positions to score. Boston had trouble over the second half of the season scoring, and for crying out loud, keep Rondo out of the paint, which is exactly why Mario should get a lot of playing time this series. The trade of Perkins opens the lane up for dribble drive, so LeBron and Wade have got to be aggressive as hell this series.
And nobodys afraid of jermaine or Shaq going to the rim.
Not to mention Jo is avg 7fouls per 36 min... Not worried about the knuckle head.
I think the heat will have 2 blowout wins n this series and 2 close ones...I also think heat win in 5.....lets go heat
Time for lunch and we're starving.
Danny Crawford already in town for Heat-Celtics, as part of what should be a heavy-hitting Game 1 officiating crew. I have a feeling there will be several "ref u suck" chants tomorrow
Key to the series is 3 point shooting!!! Defend the 3! Check Ray Allen! If we eliminate Ray Allen, we win this series!
Joel Anthony isn't just a Sixers stopper. As long as Shaq's not on the floor, he has put his spell on the Celtics too.
I'll say it right now: I don't think Shaq plays in this series. If he hasn't even practiced yet, he won't be playing in games 1 and 2, which means he'll have Wed-Sat to prep for games 3+, likely the Celts have max 3 practices in there. If he hasn't even done contact work yet...I just don't see it.
We just got to play like we did in the last regular season game . HAVE TO CONTAIN Rajon Rondo and intimate Ray Allen. It's good to have home court advantage and lets hope the REFS know they are in Miami and not Boston.
Pierce will be shutdown!
The general feeling one gets from all the pre-game talk in camp Green... Is that they are intent on Gooning...
If Miami knows what's good for them, they'll win EVERY game they have at home. We can't afford to have Boston take one in Miami. That's too dangerous.
I want to see the Celtics suffer.
IMO, the key to this series is to let Rondo play... Do not help off the 3 point shooters because Ray and Paul will kill us all day. I rather stick to them and let Rondo try to score. They are unbeatable when Rondo is dropping dimes, so let him score while taking everyone else away.
JVG just said the Heat will win the title this year.
No Shaq today. Good!
Contain Rondo and it's. A Wrap
If Rondo tries to stick his head in our huddle then Mags should choke slam him
Here comes the refs.
Z misses and Bibby fouls. Why are they starting again? This is lame.
Z you **** suck!!!!! Bibby you also **** suck!!!
So its all jumpers to start out, that's EXACTLY what Boston wants
Lol Ronda owned by Bibby
I cringe at the sight of ilgauskas
Someone needs to shut down Ray Allen. He is the only player they have that can singlehandedly win this series for them
With Perkins gone, LeBron should be putting his head down and living at the line this series.
Bosh pretty much being a no show as usual in big games.
You know this game is gonna be tough when Miami gets whistled for a moving screen but Boston hasn't been whistled for one yet.
Stern will do anything to make this an interesting series
Boy do I hate Ray
Wade has to step up and lead. He's the only true winner on that squad. LbJ will get his numbers..but he's not a leader.
In the premium seats atleast 20% of the fans are wearing colors other than white. Really bad effort by the crowd.
LOL at the fat baby flopping
Flop by Baby. In Boston that gets called 6 out of 5 times.
Big Dumpling is SO BAD
Wade has now scored more in the 1st quarter than he did in the season series against Boston.
This ain't the Knick's defense greenies
Glen Davis NEVER misses that shot against us...
Lol @ Rondo getting a foul just after that talk with Doc In Boston, not only does JJ get called for a Flagrant 2, but Rondo goes to the line for 5 free-throws.
Yup......its bad enough we gotta go through an elite team, we also got to deal with NBA Stern-dized refs
No such thing as HCA for Miami.
Why does chambers like to start fights..and than he runs away..come on.
Who cares, we got an extra point, lol
Haha, West. What a difference between him and Rondo
West is a thug!! So is KG
Don't get Delonte mad or else he will whip out his guitar case full of guns, Desperado-style.
Let's get these clowns in foul trouble!
AND THAT WEST 3 WAS ALL ON MILLER> GET HIM THE **** OUT RIGHT **** NOW
I think its time to realize.... Mike Miller sucks right now.
How the **** do you leave Ray Allen wide open?
Is it weird that we are playing way better WITHOUT LBJ on the floor?
Why the hell can't they take advantage of Boston's poor shooting? All Miami has to do is make some freaking shots?!
As soon as they brought KG back in our offense went to **** and our defense turned horrible
Fat Baby is completely taking Bosh out of whatever it is he wants to do. Stop with the high degree of difficulty shot and drive on his hefty ass.
I love defensive three seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't get called often on Boston, so the refs had to clarify to Doc Rivers what happened
First JJ beat Allen and Pierce in the 3pt allstar shootout and now taking it to them again letting them know it waslt a fluke
WADE. Making Allen look OLD.
Boston is so bad without Rondo.... It isnt even funny.
...all right Celtics, back to Headquarters. We'll regroup there.
Hahaha! Get in the van ya old farts!
Is it too soon to say this? Nahh.. GAME OVER
I thought Bosh would be the X-factor, but he's hiding under the bed at the moment.
We need to keep Rondo from going off. If he starts hurting us they can get back in it quick... But with 3 fouls he might be a little timid so lets hope for that.
I can live with Allen scoring big if the other 3 are shut down
I heard there were a lot of empty seats at the Miami arena..they can't sell out...
They even started letting in some homeless people and handing them white t-shirts. I heard this on the radio.
The great part is Lebron plays much much better on the road, which will help in Boston
I think the Celtics bench is doing better than their starters
Man, 15 points doesn't feel safe with this team at all. I'm happy as hell but I've seen us give up huge leads like nothing all year.
Wade more field goals than entire Celtics starters lol
I hope we don't throw this away, because we have before.
Never noticed Doris Burke before. Kinda hot, in a forbidden 3rd grade teacher kinda way.
Don't trust any lead against this team, or for that matter, since the Heat cant hold leads. Heat need to come out with the same amount of energy to begin the 2nd half.
Ugh. Z is so horrible. If we can keep it at 10+ until Joel and Chalmers come in ill be happy
Z got called for a KG...excuse me, illegal screen I mean.
See that? Doc calls timeout after 4 straight points because he sees the need for a correction. Doc is such a good coach man. I wish we had him.
Bron playing like its Cleveland....
I'm sorry but O'Neal has been camping in the paint for 10 secs. Call something
JO with the flop. Refs granting it.
That's BS, they called that just to get Bosh in foul trouble and keep the game close. And another moving screen? Boston has been setting them most of the game and no call against them.
Boston knows that the refs are gonna get them back in the game and are taking advantage of it. Another bad call against Big Z.
Luckily Boston can't hit a jumpshot. That's keeping the game close.
Flagarent on Oneal Again..
In Boston, that foul doesn't get called unless James in in the second row, and even then...
Sending Jermaine to Boston was our greatest move yet
LOL. Don't forget Arroyo is there too.
I really, really do not want to lose to this team. Cant stand the Celtics.
RAY ALLEN IS A KILLER
In Boston, not only does Joel get called for a foul there, but Rondo, Pierce and Allen each get a pair at the free-throw line.
Here come the Boston cheap shots.
The gist of Boston "defense". Intimidate if you can't defend. The Media will have your back
Celtic Pride... Except when you need a key flop.
Smh Refs doing all they can to get Boston back in this.
In Boston, not only is that an offensive foul, but Pierce gets 3 free-throws.
The Celtics have no respect for the fundamentals of the NBA. All they do is camp in the paint, set moving screens, plow their way in the lane, make contact on closing out jumpshots, etc.
No reason they should still be in this game. We’ve been out playing them the whole game!
Pierce is just chucking up 3s, they bound to fall if they keep leaving him open.
Pierce is mad Studio Gangsta there.
How is it a double technical?????
Pierce headbutted James Jones (who we all know was just trying to foul him, he aint no studio gangster trying to act tough)
Referees ass lovin the Celtics as per usual
Pierce would look nice with a broken nose.
I'm not going to lie..... Delonte West is REALLY REALLY bad.
Studio gangster pierce out I hope Pierce thinks that head butt was worth it
He should have been bounced for the headbutt. Idiot.
That was a BS call on Pierce....no way did he deserved to get thrown out.....BS
FATTY GOT THROWN OUT! LMAO!
Let's hope they review Pierce's headbutt and suspend him for the rest of the series
Fake headbutt at that
Pierce getting ejected made my morning :D
Home court advantage...
All that crowd noise must be coming from the upper bowl because many in the lower seats aren't even standing or cheering - except for those guys near the C's bench
Nobody here saw anything wrong with that ejection? That was criminal.
No matter what defense comes at Ray, he always seems to make the 3
that's just Ray Allen being Ray Allen. Nothing Wade could do there
Ray Allen is an animal.
I hate Ray Allen so much So so much
Thanks for playing BOS. Go pick up your free t-shirt and get of the court.
Damnit C's won't go away
Damn Celtics are pesky and never out of a game
Celtics are old but still good Heat are just faster and much better.
Sorry no sweep Boston.. Haha
Yeah boy, we aint the Knicks!
Better count on Bostons' best in game 2. No need for celebrations now. Still a long way to go.
Carlos Arroyo is the jinx! What a loser he is!!!
Garnett is playing like dog poo.
Can't stand the fans leaving already.
And the Celtics are going back to a livid nursing home. The orderlies are not pleased at this effort
For anyone coming up for the excuses for BOS, Bosh played like garbage. LeBron was good but not great offensively and JJ was our best second player. Yeah, this wasn't our best either.
We need to figure out Ray Allen. He is the Celtics only hope to winning any games this series.
I'll say again, for ANYONE who wants to say we won't shoot that hot again... Boston was hotter than we were from 3. We flat out outplayed them today. And got under their skin, which I love.
I love how livid the basketball universe gets when calls go in the heat's favor
If lebron is tossed everyone has their shirts off in celebration
I hate how everyone will point to the refs as being the main reason that we won tonight. The refs tainted our win, although it was pretty obvious that we were in total control of the game the entire time.
I know not a lot of the Heat fans here want to hear this but, we are gonna lose game 2. Boston is just too good of a team to lose 2 in a row in the playoffs. NOT guarenteeing a loss BUT its gonna be a TOUGH game 2 for us with a possibilty to win IF we take care of business.
I'm making a list of all our wussy fans. They're gonna go on the sig of shame when we pull out of this series
Blow out for us Heat by 22
Unlike Philly Heat know that Boston is the real ****ing deal.. We will show up.. Enough of the b.s
