HEAT at Celtics opening day game thread

[TheMACHINE]

"got the jitters out. make a move right now"

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Spoelstra sounded so awkward in that timeout.

[Chomag]

If the Heat fail to score over 60 points in this game then that would be sad, very sad especialy in todays game. lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Boston isn't going to look this good all year:lol..

If the NBA was played for half a season, then I would actually say the Celtics would be the favorites to win the title..however, they just had a run all the way until game 7 of the NBA Finals, and their team is full of injury prone, past their prime players..it would be very surprising if they last..

[Ace]

lol this is pretty funny. all that hype for this skunker. Expect the population of heat fans to decrease by a lot.

Quit Hatin'
Already getting excited?

[TinTin]

my bad:lol


But Wade, it seems, does not want to be such a character any longer.

“The Artist formally known as 'FLASH' no longer exists. This is a NEW CHAPTER in my life. A NEW ERA has begun…,” Wade wrote on his Twitter account.

A few minutes later he followed up with: “The content of my character has changed. I'm a [different] kind of man, father, an athlete. Evolution is necessary 4 growth.. change is inevitable.”

It really does seem like san antonio heat out here

All TBS games are usually this busy. Add in the fact that this is the season opener to make it even busier.

Doc will probably employ last year's strategy, where his stars played limited minutes in the last 3 months but they were fresh for the playoffs.

[DPG21920]

People who react this much to the first half of a game need to realize this is not how things will be. Even bad teams go on runs during games.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

steve kerr is talking too much

[ALVAREZ6]

Lebron is such a retard at free throws

[Quit Hatin']

ugly.

[HarlemHeat37]

Celtics are the most stacked team in the NBA from 1-12, pretty easily, I'll give them credit for that..

[Killakobe81]

I think they can win a title just not sure about this year...time is on Lebron's side ..THAT is why i thought thsi move was desperate it's only a matter of time for Lebron. i also don't get why Lebron shoots techs when he sucks at FT's ...that may cost them in a close game.

[DeadlyDynasty]

there you go wade

[DPG21920]

A little 10-0 run makes this first half a non issue.

[blkroadrunners]

Better ball movement by Miami

[LeHeat_Dynasty]

Wade looks horrible out there. Length is killing us right now.


I'm glad its only the 1st game of the season.

[TinTin]

I would do more than that to angelina jolie

[DeadlyDynasty]

Heat will turn this thing around, it's not possible to play much worse

[HarlemHeat37]

The Celtics went to a game 7 of the NBA Finals and were one of the worst teams in the NBA at scoring in the paint last year..they were 23rd in the NBA in points in the paint, IIRC..I don't understand how analysts get paid to make statements like that..

[Ace]

What a disappointing first game of the season:lol..

Hopefully the Rockets put up a fight in the 2nd game..
All this for the first game of the season and when Kobe goes 6-24 its "just the regular season" and back peddling begins.

I found that weird as well. Lebron should not be taking the FT's.

This is ridiculous. Lebron is not 30 years old. They have plenty of time.

[Killakobe81]

A little 10-0 run makes this first half a non issue.

i think heat can easily win this game. But that is not the point i think those expecting Bulls record like JVG is full of shit. Granted not everyone can play Celtics type defense but this team is far from invincible. Plus as great as Lebron is he is not on MJ's level ...yet.

[Quit Hatin']

The team gets the blame. I don't expect a Kobe cock smoker to understand the team concept. Your forgiven for you the utter stupidity you spew.

No low post d

[sefant77]

Its really really funny (and basketball wise) sad how helpless James and Wade are if they cant get away with their traveling and dont get their asses saved on drives by the refs...

Great point. pnr shaq almost everytime but the Celts are playing a zone behind it ...mid game is there for anyone that wants it ...willl be tough to get to the rack though.

[eric365]

Miami's big 3 has played 3 minutes together before the game and are missing their only good role player...

It's totally normal that the Heat lose this one
I would have been worried if they would have won. That would have meant that the season is over already

[DeadlyDynasty]

to be fair they've only played 3 minutes together before this

[IronMexican]

Can we all agree that laka is retarded for saying that yet? Andrew muthafuckin' Bynum.

[Dex]

I don't think anybody expects the Heat to nearly look this bad all season. But this a serious reality check to the hubris that had been developed by the Heat and their following, and is pretty much what all non-Heat fans have been itching to see.

Beating the Bulls record? 3 titles in 5 years?

Maybe they should just focus on winning their first game.

[DJ Mbenga]

its so easy. just play zone and the heat self destruct.

this is just sad they cant even make open shots. they should go small and put wade as their 1. whoever their pg is its pathetic right now

[NASpurs]

I just put the game on and Jesus does Shaq look fatter... oops I mean more "muscular" than usual. Fucking huge. White is not a good color on him. Black is slimmer.

[Killakobe81]

As good as Celts look they are getting killed on the offensive board in this zone. Rebounds hurt them last year in the finals and if the heat were hitting these offensive rebounds would or will be costly.

[resistanze]

[HarlemHeat37]

Bosh is playing like an idiot so far..

Haslem is missing the wide open shots that he's made a career out of making, he's being set up beautifully..

Miami desperately needs Miller's shooting, they're just going to play against the zone until he comes back, and it'll be tough to adjust until they develop chemistry..

[DeadlyDynasty]

ok if shaq is making ft's then ur fucked

Mike Miller?

[Killakobe81]

Bad turnovers and offensive boards on are the zits on the Celts performance. You can NOT have TO's vs. heat.

[DJ Mbenga]

Has any other MVP ever left his team after the season?

i think its moses malone

[noob cake]

On pace to 25 pts in 2 quarters

[DeadlyDynasty]

nice...hopefully miami cuts it to single digits so we actually ahve something to watch in the 2nd half

[HarlemHeat37]

Moses Malone?..could be wrong though..

[peskypesky]

nah, i just think if you're such a big man that you can call other people's mothers ugly, then you should be man enough to post a photo of your mom.

[namlook]

it's pretty sad when lebron is the best jump shooter on your team.

Eddie House is a much better jump shooter than Lebron.

[Killakobe81]

Great play by KG he should look to score especially with bosh out ...too tall for Haslem.

[sefant77]

House ensuring more playing time with giving up the fastbreak dunk to Lebron

yep. moses.

miami needs the two for one

[Killakobe81]

As for hopes ...i expect at least ECF, for the finals I say strong chance and champions good chance ...

[HarlemHeat37]

Shaq is an automatic foul..he actually is, if you drive anywhere near him, he's going to foul you..you have to exploit him, make the other team pay for having him on the court..

[peskypesky]

i want Snaq to break Bosh in two

[sefant77]

One of the Douche 3 going down would be the cream on top

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

lol, having less points this half than all of last season.

[DJ Mbenga]

you know charles is gonna bring the goods now.

[TinTin]

Halftime is going to deliver what this first half couldnt

[namlook]

30 points. Worst first half for Miami than any game last season. LOL.

[DPG21920]

Really bad half from MIA and very solid start from BOS. Doc is over playing PP. He might run out of gas later on. Something to keep an eye on.

But Boston is a deep team. They really have a bunch of guys they can put out there and they can produce.

[Killakobe81]

Shaq hates on Bosh if he gets a chance to foul him hard, he will ...

Celts are still following Tom T's blueprint. Bulls are another good defender away from being in the Celts class ...

[VBM]

this is horrific for the nba. hype brought in alot of fans and the baskeball that has been played is horrible boring.

[TheMACHINE]

yo fill us in if Chuck clowns bron.

[Killakobe81]

ill say this how many teams can play this way? OKC if Aldrich develops, a healthy Lakers team, maybe the Bulls if they develop another defender and the Magic if they go big ...and play Pietrus on the perimeter. Very few teams can defend the Heat at this level ... next game watch the heat bury the sixers early.

[HarlemHeat37]

Chalmers should be playing, he usually defends Rondo well, and he would give Miami a different look..

I just looked it up, and apparently he has an injury though, I guess that's why he hasn't seen the floor..

Miami needs to trade Arroyo to a team that needs a backup PG, I'm sure somebody will take him, he's a decent player..he won't fit with this team though..

Thankfully, the Spurs didn't end up signing James Jones(even though the alternative is Bobby Simmons)..

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bigger let down after debut game: Miami's big 3 or the XFL?

[Venti Quattro]

Boston has a shitball of careless errors in the first half and that's why they are only up by 15. Aside from that, Miami is a ball of shit. They are a work in progress though. They're still getting familiarized to each other. However that won't change the fact that their frontline is so bad, LeBron still sucks in the post and they all have a tendency to go "MY WAY" if things go sour.

Neither team is playing well offensively, but Boston is straight bullying them around and they look helpless

Celts should be up more ...Lebron can erase that deficit with a no regard for human life dunk, a lucky 3 and his usual FT line bully drives ...

[Venti Quattro]

It's one game. And an opening game at that. Even if the Heat lose this one by 60, I don't think there will be panic in South Beach

[DeadlyDynasty]

Practice won't fix the fact they have no low post presence offensively or defensively

[Amarelooms]

The Mavs would be up by 30+ against the cHeat.....

NOT you dummies

:elephant

[ElNono]

:lol at People cliff jumping.

Does this Heat team makes the playoffs?

Question


:lol

[j.dizzle]

Like I said, Boston is usually known for letting up in the 3rd so wont be surprised if the gap closes. Its the 1st game of the season though so we'll see if they keep their foot on the pedal. Mia cant shoot that shitty in the 2nd half & if they do ill laugh.

[ElNono]

Celts should be up more ...Lebron can erase that deficit with a no regard for human life dunk, a lucky 3 and his usual FT line bully drives ...

tbh, Lebron can score 35 while helping the children :cry

[VBM]

Ha...

Wade: "Charles, you gonna hate on us all year long?"

Chuck: "For the rest of your career"

[Ace]

:lol at those getting all excited over an opening game.

[HarlemHeat37]

Practice won't fix the fact they have no low post presence offensively or defensively

Post defense, yes, but the Celtics didn't have any post offense last year..they didn't even have any scorers in the paint last year either, and they were a few shots away from winning the title..

[Killakobe81]

It's one game. And an opening game at that. Even if the Heat lose this one by 60, I don't think there will be panic in South Beach

and they shouldn't panic ...time is ON Lebron's side. Celts and Lakers are getting old and i doubt durant or Dwight are ready yet. Lebron will win soon if not this year.

Chuck LOL "Bulls can take the 72 win Champagne off ice" ...LOL

[sefant77]

Practice won't fix the fact they have no low post presence offensively or defensively

And then imagine they have to go like 10-15 games without Wade due to injury.

[VBM]

If this was ESPN, we'd have live looks into Cleveland bars as this game was going on

[Venti Quattro]

Post defense, yes, but the Celtics didn't have any post offense last year..they didn't even have any scorers in the paint last year either, and they were a few shots away from winning the title..

Troll post. Pierce and Garnett went on the block a lot of times last year. You were too busy slobbing on LeBron's cock and hating on the Lakers.

[dbestpro]

The big three are great individual players, but it looks like it might take a while to learn how to be team players.

[Killakobe81]

TBH even if Heat lost to boston 2 out of 3, swept by Lakers and split with Magic Heat could in theory beat everyone else and threaten the Bulls record ...I doubt it, but they will beat up on all the bad teams and it wont be pretty.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Post defense, yes, but the Celtics didn't have any post offense last year..they didn't even have any scorers in the paint last year either, and they were a few shots away from winning the title..

Fair point tbh, but Miami needs to rectify that situation in order to get past Boston in the future (Dwight Howard too).


All that being said, this game is far from over...Miami's too talented to roll over and die

[peskypesky]

:lol at People cliff jumping. If the great teams in the NBA are playing like ass after week 5 (like the entire NFL), then I will be upset.

My Jets and Giants are doing just fine.

[Killakobe81]

Where are the pseudo-Celts fans? Was Lngrr the only real one on here?

[HarlemHeat37]

Troll post. Pierce and Garnett went on the block a lot of times last year. You were too busy slobbing on LeBron's cock and hating on the Lakers.

23rd in the NBA in paint scoring..

Pierce's damage vs. Orlando was mostly on the perimeter, especially against Barnes..he was pretty much a non-factor vs. Cleveland, especially against Lebron..he couldn't post up against Artest at all..

KG plays the same style of play as Bosh, except obviously worse at this point in his career..

[ElNono]

TBH even if Heat lost to boston 2 out of 3, swept by Lakers and split with Magic Heat could in theory beat everyone else and threaten the Bulls record ...I doubt it, but they will beat up on all the bad teams and it wont be pretty.

Yeah, I was gonna say that even if they lose to the Celts and Magic, that's basically all the competition they're gonna get in the East...

[peskypesky]

great 2nd half start by Miami

[Killakobe81]

Great move by KG just a tad late ...

[dbestpro]

Bosh runs like a duck.

[Quit Hatin']

:lol at those getting all excited over an opening game.

lol you are the one that made the bet.

[DeadlyDynasty]

bostonguy too

[Killakobe81]

Shaq moving well ...

[The Franchise]

Wade pushes of with his right hand and gets rewarded.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't get how Miami can play Arroyo with Wade and Lebron..he can't shoot, he's basically out there for no reason..

[HarlemHeat37]

There you go, go at Shaq and take him out of the game..he can't move..

[peskypesky]

Snaq is one of the few guys in the league who can hammer Lebum. And he just did.

[Killakobe81]

Shaq with another hard foul ...I miss those when he played in purple and gold ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

lol free throws

[dbestpro]

Boston needs to work a little harder on finding the open man.

[Killakobe81]

There you go, go at Shaq and take him out of the game..he can't move..

On perimeter you are right, down low shaq looks good to me on offense and defense...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Boston is going to be in the penalty fast...too bad Miami sucks at the line or else this would be a game

[peskypesky]

Boston is just tougher at every position except SG.

[Venti Quattro]

lol clank clank clank

[ElNono]

lol Ray Ray having a field day out there

[Killakobe81]

Shaq is a factor inside ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Shaq is feasting down low

[peskypesky]

i miss the days when Snaq could dunk.

well, actually, as a Spurs fan, I don't.

[HarlemHeat37]

Too bad Ray Allen's bitch ass couldn't make those in the Finals last year..

[The Franchise]

A 1/4 Shaq is dominating the Heat on the inside.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Which one of the big 3 is gonna step up?

[ElNono]

Too bad Ray Allen's bitch ass couldn't make those in the Finals last year..

He was guarded then... he's like 'let me square up, measure, then shoot' in this game...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

People are aware of the new refs rules. Wade was about to run off on that ref about that call.

[Killakobe81]

Lebron should dunk on shaq and change the momentum

[DeadlyDynasty]

Miami's offense looks worse than the phoenix mercury's right now, tbh

[peskypesky]

Celtics look damn good.

[Texas_Ranger]

That was a T on Wade. Stupid refs!

[dbestpro]

Bosh looks like he having the most trouble finding his way. Reminds me of RJ with the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

PP is literally helpless against Lebron's defense. He is just a spot up guy who stands around when Lebron is playing him.

[peskypesky]

Lebron should dunk on shaq and change the momentum

you kidding? he tried. Snaq smashed him.

[dbestpro]

Ok, Miami can't handle Boston's interior game, how are they going to handle LA's interior game?

[VBM]

Yay for no spurs on the oldest active list!

[sefant77]

lol Heat "ballmovement"

[ulosturedge]

Looks like Miami's interior defense already being exposed.

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami is playing 4 on 5 with Arroyo on the court, he isn't even looking to do anything..stupid coaching..

[DeadlyDynasty]

zzzzzzz

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

:lol at those getting all excited over an opening game.

:lmao If it were the Heat up by 19 you'd be praising their greatness you dumb fag

[DPG21920]

PP is a flopping douche. Very annoying. He lets guys run into him, then flails.

[Killakobe81]

PP is literally helpless against Lebron's defense. He is just a spot up guy who stands around when Lebron is playing him.

Lebron's defense has improved ...alot. But I think his advantage is Pierce gets worn down trying to contain him on defense. if Pierce is guarding someone else, i bet you he gets some on Lebron. Lebron's defense is not THAT good that Pierce couldnt score against him.

[peskypesky]

KG's shot looks sweet

[Ace]

lol you are the one that made the bet.
Quite peon I didn't say you could speak to me.

[DeadlyDynasty]

i guess arroyo has a pulse afterall

[sefant77]

Miami is playing 4 on 5 with Arroyo on the court, he isn't even looking to do anything..stupid coaching..

Combined with Anthony they play 3 on 5 on offensive...and just isos...rofl

[HarlemHeat37]

KG is so automatic..

[Killakobe81]

shaq is playing well ... but it's sad to the see the little flips at the basket that used to be rim rattling dunks.

[Ghazi]

lol Harlem Heat
lol bandwagoning faggot
lol "Three Kings"

[Ace]

:lmao If it were the Heat up by 19 you'd be praising their greatness you dumb fag
Still concerned about me I see. You need a hobby.

[peskypesky]

i don't know. how is Pierce going to score on Lebron. Lebron is faster, stronger, taller.

[DeadlyDynasty]

garnett went over the back on bosh there

[Venti Quattro]

shaq is playing well ... but it's sad to the see the little flips at the basket that used to be rim rattling dunks.

Brah if he tries to dunk everytime I guarantee you he won't get past the all star weekend.

Besides two points is two points.

[peskypesky]

shaq is playing well ... but it's sad to the see the little flips at the basket that used to be rim rattling dunks.

yep. hard to believe he just cannot dunk with a defender on him anymore.

[Amarelooms]

Get Shaq out....he;s killing ya'll

:elephant

[peskypesky]

Brah if he tries to dunk everytime I guarantee you he won't get past the all star weekend.

he's missed about 10 shots at the rim.

[DPG21920]

Maybe somewhat, but I truly believe PP just struggles because Lebron is such a good defender on him.

That is why Doc seems to be leaving PP in so long. He has to keep him in so when Lebron goes to the bench, they can go to PP and get something out of him.

All of PP's damage came w/ Bron on the bench except that corner 3 in the first corner.

[Quit Hatin']

Quite peon I didn't say you could speak to me.

lol just keep making it worse for yourself. so when is your bandwagon ass gonna be gone?
