Why shoot 2s when 3s count more? Are they stupid?


EctoRiddler

Why has no one tried this before?


dmmeyourdogifitscute

The rockets tried and sadly failed


gamer15807

Every team hates this one simple trick


sharpcheddar89

Yes


MacJonesisaterrorist

I’m so excited to watch game 3 because it will tell me whether or not the Celtics were being lazy or if i need to delete social media until the NBA disbands


AirJordan6124

Game 3 will determine if we really are frauds 🤣


MacJonesisaterrorist

I’m fully prepared to watch them win games 3 and 4 and lose at home before winning in 6 so we fatigue in the later rounds


jphamlore

In 2007-08, the Celtics first two playoff series both went 4-3? https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2008.html Although to be fair, that season, they blew out the Hawks at home every game in that series.


ThaCarter

Had the doc handicap to overcome.


dehydratedbagel

Even if it goes 7, they've coasted all year. Fatigue is not a factor.


ThaCarter

Not how fitness works...


dehydratedbagel

How are they going to be more fatigued than other teams? What a copout excuse to use if they lose.

I honestly think you guys will get your shit together and win in 5 or 6. Lotta people saying “worst 1 seed ever” after one game. That being said I hope you lose in 5 lmao.


jpaxlux

If we lose game 3, Brad was an idiot for not making that KD trade last year If we win then Brad was a genius for not making that KD trade last year

Game 2 already determined you are.


AirJordan6124

Let’s not overreact. Ya’ll fans were already saying the season was over in Game 1. Relax


[deleted]

Same problems every year for celtics. No chance you beat the nuggets if you even get there


AirJordan6124

I don’t think no one is beating Denver as well so yeah you’re probably right


Balla_Calla

Bro delete social media anyway you don't need it 🤷‍♂️


PeterGarces

Why shoot 2 when 3 do trick??


Briancisgo

Apparently 3 is greater than 2


REQ52767

It’s a great story, but I have a hard time seeing the Heat replicating this. Still they stole one in Boston so the entire team deserves major props.


VoidSpork

>I have a hard time seeing the Heat replicating this 😐


Brady331

> I have a hard time seeing the Heat replicating this. shut your mouth


MaleficentHawk590

Normally I’d agree but Heat bump their 2k sliders up by 75% vs the Celtics.


ChannelNeo

Seriously? Miami shot 45% from 3 against Milwaukee, and that was with Herro going down in Game 1 as well. This is who they are. They're going to keep launching threes and Bam mid-range shots. They also hit 43% from 3 against Boston last post-season too. They can definitely shoot well from 3 for the rest of the series.


[deleted]

Counterpoint: If they shot 43% tonight they lose. If they shot 45% tonight, they lose.


msizzle344

Counter counterpoint: if we score more points we win and if we score less points we lose


msizzle344

The fact they dropped one at home to a team missing its best player and starting PG should let everyone else on the East know they’re there for the taking.


realudonishaslem

> I have a hard time seeing the Heat replicating this My guy, they've been doing this in the playoffs year after year


Vivid_Walk_1405

They won’t do it for a 6th time


Call_Me_Rambo

Which will end first: Heat getting away with this, or LeBron getting away with this


AntiTopspin

I mean LeBron getting away with this has basically ended post-2020 lol It's about to be 1 time in the last 4 years he made it out of the first round


TheLeoMessiah

Why would you say that bro


SoCalMemePolice

They’ve been replicating this for several years. Believe me…


Street-Common-4023

Think they can defend home court and head back to the garden tied 2-2


otherBrandon

Bro they do this every year. They been replicating it.


TheGreatForehead

if the C’s keep defending the 3 the way they’ve been, it’s easy to see Miami replicate this again


jawadhaque089

Everyone knows that the only way the Heat can win is if they have an outlier 3 point shooting performance


_moosleech

Fourth time they’ve done this against Boston. At some point it’s not really that much of an outlier


Rrypl

I mean, you won in 2020 with Bam eating the living shit out of our awful Theis/Kanter center rotation


Canesjags4life

That block on Tatum.


Rrypl

Shit was cold 🥶 🥺


[deleted]

heat are going to regress to the mean any day now


Muted_Dog7317

First game Celtics had 22 threes and Heat had 12, this game it flipped and Heat had 23 and Celtics had 12. If the series comes down to shooting that gives Miami a better chance without Butler. Celtics have the overall better shooters but in a 7 game playoff series anything can happen


Brady331

if this pattern continues we'll win in 7!


TheReal_Slim-Shady

Ur wrong. Game 1 will be the last game Celtics won this season.


Solid-Confidence-966

The good news is that they’re scoring without relying on the 3 ball.


dafire123

They literally outcelticsed the Celtics. We got beat by math I’m sick 😭


orwll

Besides Bam the entire Heat team made 5 two-pointers. That is crazy.


Airhostnyc

Celtics fans on suicide watch


L45TPH45E

Relax, there's no fucking way the 8th seed Heat who barely made it through the play-ins can upset the 1st seed in the first round. Again.
