Oso planning to go pro
JAMAL!!!!
Before the game my son said Heat by 20. I chalked it up to 16yo cockiness, and I don’t think the Heat get there against a healthy Tatum. But, I told him I’d give him credit on Scoop. Feels so good.
Damn Ernie, at least give Caleb Martin a minute to talk after a tremendous performance.
Ernie was too busy talking about tweets he got from Buzz.
Butler said that Williams taught him to trust his teammates and that those lessons were continued by Riley and Spoelstra.

The Celtics could use a coach with experience. Sticking with Mazzulla would be a really bad idea after watching this series. They look brilliant at times, but also look horribly undisciplined as well.
Agree. Stevens might be thinking that his coach, like players, will improve with experience. It’s not an outrageous thought. Still, when you have championship-caliber talent, letting your coach learn on the fly is probably not the best idea. There was a stretch when the Celtics were down by about 15 but still had time to get back in the game. Instead of continuing to work for good shots they took several horrible, selfish shots that also resulted in break-out opportunities for Miami. Then they subbed in Sam. Game over. Just one of numerous examples of an unsteady hand at the wheel.Glad they lost, though, so yay Coach Mazzulla!
And it was the same under Udoka and the end of Stevens' time. The core guys shrink when it gets tough.
I wouldn't go so far and say Tatum shrinks. He's had several enormous performances in pressure games. Now yesterday and the entire seroes Brown was clearly a disaster. After Tatum turned his ankle I thought his body language was terrible. We have seen this happen to guys and they have willed their way to contribute mightily. I've only seen the replay of it but Isiah Thomas vs the Lakers comes mind. That was an all time great and gutty performance.
Tatum should've texted Kobe.
