Boston Celtics blow out Miami Heat in Game 1 behind Jayson Tatum triple double
The Celtics came out strong, went on a big run, and kept it rolling for basically the entire game (minus an early fourth quarter lull) to win a wire-to-wire blowout over the Heat in Game 1 of their opening round series. Jayson Tatum’s triple-double was a big part of Boston taking advantage of everything the Heat threw at them. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into all of that, how the defense and rebound played a massive part in the blowout, and why the amount of 3-pointers they took was just fine. Also, was the Caleb Martin play on Tatum dirty, bad luck and timing, or a little of both?

1-0. Not even thinking past this, onto Game 2. One game at a time, stay in the moment, do NOT look past your opponent.
It’s a trip how everyone was praising the GSW when they was the 3point Super Team but now hating on the Celtics for being the best 3 point shooting team in the league and actually blowing opponents out the Arena’s ..They’re just mad none of their favorite teams can’t compete nor stop Boston Celtics long range offense but they would love it if it was the Warriors, Lakers, Bucks, or even Clippers hit a ton of 3’s instead of Celtics.. They all said it was a Shooters League Remember that u Hypocrites
The “too many threes” narrative is old and tired, if they are in the flow of the offense then what’s the problem
that was dirty play against tatum
Hey John. Great work. Great win by the boys. I think Joe has to hit the bench if we are comfortably up big in the next game. I think the bench is going to be important for us going forward. So why not get some game time for the 'be ready group' against a team that we match up well. Well we will see how that goes. 🍀🍀🍀🍀 15 to go 😁😁
Miami gonna need a few miracles to beat Celtic this 1st round especially without Jimmy.. Martin tried to pull off a Bogus miracle late in the 4th by intentionally seeking to injure JT so the Heat could have a chance next game 2 and possibly 3-4.. I knew the Heat would try a dirty move to injure one of our Big 3 just as they did last playoff series.. Celtics better be aware of the Heat plot to Hurt us by a slick injury
How come no one is mentioning that dirty move Martin did on TATUM late in the 4th .. It’s always Martin who tries to injure Tatum and yall act like yall can’t see the Heat Plot to Hurt our chances by intentional Injury.. I wish we had Smart on the team to break that dude Caleb Jaw for consistently pulling dirty none basketball plays on JT tryna hurt him
Great pod, really put the points in context. As for the Martin foul, yes you’re right can’t really say it’s dirty but it was definitely intentional. I can’t speak for his attitude but he made no play on the ball and was excessive in nature. A lot of other critics are saying they should review it but I doubt anything will happen. Scal was livid
Lost any remaining respect for the heat. Dogshit franchise I hope nothing but the worse for them.
WINNING!!!!!💚☘☘☘
The psychological warfare never came out.
I was expecting all of their 3 point shooters on the floor to leaving Jrue open. Spoe played it way to straight up. He has to know what we do, they aren't winning this straight up.
Knicks fans were already chanting it too after they barely beat Philly😂🤣Anyway that bush league shit by Martin was weak af. I want to believe Spoelstra wouldn’t encourage it but who knows. The fans will boo Martin mercilessly on Wednesday. Thanks for the bonus content JK. ☘️🔒
You are good, John. Adjusting to portable tech is a challenge for anyone. Particularly to people over 40😂.
I don't think that the Tatum take down was dirty. I'm happy that Tatum got up as he did. I'm pleased that Brown confronted Martin afterwards to let him know that he would be watching Martin's acts for the balance of this series.
“Heat Culture” is just injurying your opponents at all costs
John, I’ve been watching a lot of locked on this past week and you are, by far and away, the best host. Thank You for the work you put in to make The Celtics show great. Looking forward to a great and long playoff run! ☘️
The Heat lost credibility with their dirty play. I will assume every rough play is dirty.
The best part was Al Horford staring down KP and JB after two defensive lapses in the fourth. It was like "C'mon man WTF, thats not good enough!" 💪
Never forget: Heat fans clowned us for saying that JT was injured in Game 7 last year. Do not accept any excuse about Jimmy being injured.
Jayson Tatum with another crappy shooting day… And careless turnovers
When KD said watch out for crash dummies he’s means guys like Martin lol
