Studio J where we never close Inside the NBA presented by KIA 1211 time 1232 12:30 let's go out no, I slept today, I'm fine, how St. The big question, can Kenny Smith stay awake throughout the inside of the N? I feel good tonight. Hey, we'll get to the New Orleans OKC

game

in just a minute, let's get started though, uh, in Boston, Shaka, yeah,

game

one of the Boston Celtics LED against the Heat from a 17-2 start to a finish 114 to 94, they led by as many as 34 and the most glaring number that jumped out of the box score was a 30-point lead from three-point range in the second game Wednesday night Miami flipped that script in a big way, more Of 60% of their baskets came from Deep, they outscored. the Celtics by 33 from the promised land they won the season from their Jim and suddenly that series is tied here we go with

highlights

from TD Garden ban out bio and Company trying to tie this series against Jason Tatum and the Celtics who have 13 and 13 at home over their last four postseasons, that's actually a shocking statistic, no, yeah, it's outside of turnovers.

Jason Tatum gave the Celtics that, that's a technology. I agree with you. Technology, come on, man, you can't, you can't swing and hang from one arm. brothers, you get used to seeing these things, doing it right between your eyes, Tyler hero for three, you know, I think the best HZ for three, I think it's the best. The coach's sign says, hey, you have the open shot, take it and they certainly did Baseline. Spin nope Tatum 28-27 game after one in favor of the

heat

Caleb Martin, who really struggled in game one, had no problems in game two, this is one of the best shooting performances I've ever seen, hands down, hero shuer there again J Brown Catching Fire At the end of the second quarter he scored 11 consecutive points for Boston and gave the Celtics a 6158 lead at halftime.

Let's go to the third one, oh, then bam, if they couldn't shoot like that, who said Kenny, that's great, that's hell? a pass right there, part of a 15-3 run for the

heat

here, okay, here, bam, again, the top hero played a point guard position tonight, he was incredible, he had 14 assists on that old chucker that impressed Martin, good rotation, look at that quick. Pretty good man that's not a technical I mean let's go to Miami's fourth quarter of six Bam from the foul line on Horford Aect and Bam again this time on Tatum you know what Bam is trying to get ? was on a big beat hero, was going to take it in one time, came off the glass, Rex Chapman and how about this Miami 111 101 over Boston after 10, yeah, oh yeah, someone on this set said that before the game , even uho six points? one for nine, yes you see correctly, they play the third game on Saturday on TNT at dinner time at 6:00, no one eats that early.

Oh, believe me, I'm 67 years old. Six eats late, so Chris Haynes was working. As an aside, let's leave it here, the Miami Heat came into game two with a game plan that was to limit the Celtics' three-point shooting, but it was the Miami Heat who made 23 three-pointers led by Tyler Hero, who made six of them. 24 points and 14 assists You know, it's not just about scoring in the playoffs, who made the right play. We lost badly in the first game and everyone responded. I thought they shot the ball incredibly well. They said they made more three-point attempts than us tonight.

We played with the Pace guys that we wanted to shoot, the ball was hitting them, we couldn't seem to get them to miss, they came out and played fast, played hard and had a record-breaking night. We've hesitated a lot during our playoff runs. um, you know, people say we couldn't, we couldn't do a lot of things that we believed in now they're up against the wall, everyone always against us, they use it as fuel yeah, Shaq, what's up, Alex, shq, what's up, Yes I am. Not that Shaq, that's LEL Crawford here, lunch money gone for the rest of the week, not only does he know the future, he knows the Miami B and um Tyler Hero in two different cities when they do the same thing like a wardrobe for everyone seasons.

One of them, a winter suit, one summer, in two different cities, well, you know, as they sat down, one of them said, hey, is it cold here? He said no, is it hot here? what the hell do you know what that looks like? Wesley Snipes and Woody Harelson salute the great Wesley Snipes oh you're going back to the white man you can jump for the second time tonight yes I am I knew Miami was going to play really well you know they're a team you gotta leave aside, you know the culture there, listen, they realize they didn't get Boston off the line in the first game.

You know they're the type of team that, even when you beat them, they'll do it. Look at it, they're going to break it down. Okay, the reason we lost. Boston shot too many threes. We've got to get them off the line and then the best thing a coach could say is, "Hey, if you're open, shoot, you know, Jimmy." Not there, you know Jimmy has the ball, Buck of the moment, so Bam was a guy who went two and our hero of the title said that he spotted it, so he had the ball in his hand. 14 assists made some great plays, but I knew they were going to play.

Well, tonight and you see 62% of his points tonight, or his field goals, for that matter, from three-point range, well, maybe you were right when you said you've never seen this in history, just It happened two other times, that was impressive and What I liked about it was that it never seemed like they were forcing them, they got them into their offense, so now you know, I like it, I said, I said at halftime you gotta give him a lot of credit. Coach Poster, he made these guys believe that you can win, you know, you know, I think he's a great coach because the first thing a coach does for you is put you in a position to succeed, that's the second thing, but the first thing is to give you confidence, like, hey, if you do this, we're going to win in the game and he said after the game, he says we, the things that we went over worked, you know, we had this conversation before the game about this home record in the last four postseasons, 13 and 13 to come.

I came in and said it's still a concern, you said no, this is a different team, yeah, this was a surprise to me, uh, this team let the last game start, you know, I just let them back in, yeah, when you are. go up 34 and you let them get back in the game, you get 3 4 to 12, they probably have some things going on, but number one, you have to tell yourself what the hell happens when those guys play at home and I don't. even just talking about tonight, but the talent that they've had over the last four or five years to be 500 at home is something that I don't even know how to explain, to be honest with you, what does this tell you about what?

We should look for him in the third game of the series. It's going to be a lot of fun in Miami because the one thing about the Miami Heat is you know, regardless of the talent, regardless of who's on the court, they try really hard, so they follow the details and they play with effort so they stay in games that they shouldn't be in what happens in the playoffs you raise your effort but they are already at a high level of effort that they don't have to raise much they just have to execute So, to me, that's what you told the 13 of 13.

I think a lot of times the Celtics, because this is the same, it's brown and Tatum, they're extremely talented, extremely good and they should win the World Championship, however, it's up to them. Their talent does not always depend on their effort and that bit them today and Ernie for Boston to be champion, Porzingis has to play well every night, they know that they also have their great, but you know especially if they don't shoot well the three balls Porzingis needs being in the low 20s tonight only scored nine points 111 101 that's your final score and we got a 1-1 series between the number one Celtics and number eight heat actually Dancing on the roof Dancing on the roof actually looks like tonight look at the great mile Mo in that photo greetings to mile Moore
