Yes because both teams were horrible. It's a complete gloss over of the Heat shooting 35% and missing 36 shots in the paint. Both things are allowed to be true.
Lots of look how bad the Celtics played and still won. It's a strange way to interpret that game.
The Celtics were definitely bad, the Heat took being bad to a new level for almost all of it.
What a terrible basketball game. Celtics 7-35 from 3. Entering the 4th the Heat had the worst paint FG% of any team this year. Don't know where they ended up.
Looked even worse then the numbers.
The Celtics can get in or out of rhythm at any time for no particular reason.
What they are doing now isn't a given 5 minutes from now let alone 3 games from now.
When they lost rhythm in the finals last year they were clueless. With Ime. They've proven time and time again they are relatively one dimensional and can be shut down offensively when things aren't going perfectly. With every coach.
AD was weird and in and out the entire time he was in New Orleans. He never showed for 1 second before he became a Laker that any of that was going to change.
To his, (somewhat credit) I do think he plays harder on a consistent basis and especially was better in that regard this year. This is...
