Better team basketball by the Heat. Hasn't been Tatum's best playoffs so far this year as well.

That's was weird seeing Tatum turn the ball over in crunchtime. Guess Miami defense is better then we thought.

They said he wasn’t getting touches in Q4 but I watched him and his effort to move around and get involved was minimal. He seems so hot and cold. Must be mystifying to the Celtics front office.

Mike Brown was named COY, and deservedly so, but if I needed a coach for my NBA franchise, Spolestra would be my first call.

He's as good as it gets and has been good for a long time. Still has a long way to go as well. Would love to see him win another title.

The Lakers comeback was impressive Tuesday, but I am concerned that they tipped their hand early and now Denver gets to adjust to Rui on Jokic while already having a series lead.

The biggest adjustment may be how the Lakers clean up the defensive rebounding and reducing second-chance points for Denver.

Maybe four quarters of Davis defending the baseline helps with this.

Offensively, I’m not sure either team can be much better than they were in Game 1.

Lakers offensive decision making was a travesty in the 4Q.

Had they simply attacked the rim and let Reeves shoot 3s (not Lebron and AD), they win that game in spite of Murray’s brilliance.

Yeah those LeBron 3s were atrocious. Just shot jacking instead of getting into the paint and dishing. I can live with the Davis corner 3s because they came off of ball movement.

This is gonna be a series of attrition because both teams only have 6 guys that they trust.

Like Van Gundy said on the broadcast, guys flop and embellish because the refs fall for it and any semi hard foul is gonna be reviewed.

Take the Murray play from last night. In any other time and space that’s a good hard playoff foul, take your 2 free throws and let’s keep playing. Nowadays that’s a 5 minute review and a flagrant foul for a hard hit across the arm. So in the players minds why not act like you’ve gotten hit with a bat if you get the calls?

The AD shots were better offense, but is that really their best offense?

A fast break Davis three, really?

It wasn’t just murray either. I think the nuggets as a team hit 8 or 9 3’s in the 4th.

LeClown loading up for a showtime dunk and then fumbling it out of bounds was priceless.

Jimmy Butler was Boston's father but Bam had one hell of a game himself. I can't believe the Heat are up 2-0.

Miami Heat turned to a zone defense in a pivotal game two of the ECF. That's weird because I was told playing zone defense in college wasn't useful for college players that want to develop into pro players.
