The Boston Celtics came back down to earth a bit in their overtime loss to the Miami Heat. They turned the ball over way too much and they gave up too many offensive rebounds on a night where Jayson Tatum just didn’t have it. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains how the Celtics took Miami’s bait and paid for it in the fourth quarter and OT.

hey if you’re going to drop one do it on the same night as milwaukee
So Tatum was what..5 of 18? We had 20 turnovers and missed a ton of free throws. Yet we still take Miami to OT. This was very disappointing but only because we win this game if we simply execute. Just sloppy, at times lackadaisical and inconsistent play tonight. Miami just has a way of taking us away from what we like doing. It’s mainly a testament to Spoelstra and how he’s grown into a great coach. Anyway time to buckle up and head out on the road. I am really looking forward to this trip. The Warriors, LeBroad, Brooklyn & more. Should be fun and will be a great test for this group. Thanks John.

Miami is a good team. Played with more desperation. Tatum just came off a player of the month averaging 31 ppg still on 48 percent fg. He can get a pass here and thier lol overall not really worried. I kinda expected a split really.
A loss is never good, but if it has to happen, let it be before the Celtics go on the road. Nothing like a little reality check to bump up your game before leaving town!
I'm still not quite sure if Miami is a very good team or if they are just a good team with a great coach. I'm still leaning towards the latter. One thing is for sure, Butler is a superstar. Respect to Jimmy
Side note, Jimmy has always reminded me of the Wayon character from the movie Celtic Pride 🎬 ☘
Miami was really the better team last year
I love how this dude doesn’t appreciate jaylen brown
Told everyone I know..thisceltics win streak so impressive. But its like playing with fools gold. ((( the drefense)))) needs stop beign ignored in ways. I get it..their offense is killing it…but this my friends.. doesn't last long. Dont care!! If a team is scoring 🤔 like they are..this team needs balance. Bigtime..dont want to hear!"""" Th9e timelord will be back soon.))))..who cares?? Were not talking about wilt chamberlain coming back yo us people..""" my god"".. I love williams.
Also..but why put all that pressure on the kid???. He will make a difference yes!!!!. But we need everyone! To buy into the concrpt..this is why I truly miss udoka…but I guess. Time will tell.
I'm here watching that extra episode
Marcus did it again that 3 pts shot
Did I see it right that after Luke tweaked his ankle Al played the entire 4th quarter and OT? I think they are playing him too much I’m worried about this next two weeks may have long term consequences.
This where Tatum has to grow up as a player and has to kno today is not my day let me set my teammates up…this loss is alll on him but onward !
Miami played excellent defense, but Boston was just plain sloppy with the ball. And the Celtics were playing 4 on 6 last night when Tatum was on the floor. He did more for Miami than he did for Boston. And the referees called the game like they bet on Miami.
