Thinking more about the Butler shot, he played a full 48 minutes on a knee & ankle that likely aren't 100%. Who's to say he had the legs to potentially finish on Horford (pause) then play overtime?
Probably not the shot you want him taking but it was a good look.

If he made the 3. He'd be a hero.

That was his only shot in the last 5 minutes. One of his 3 in the final 7 and a half.
Coming off 1 day of rest after playing 46 minutes the game before. He was completely exhausted
Similar to Durant last year or Jimmy Butler himself after that G5 against the Lakers.
Lowry did them no favors trying & failing to draw a foul on Grant Williams & burning that timeout, leaving them with just ONE with 9 minutes left in the game

It was always strange to me how fast people were declaring it time for the Celtics to make major personnel moves when their with their core guys all being young and having made improvements every year.

What’s also ironic is that they held Boston to 0 points for a 3 minute stretch to start the comeback. Taking Horford off the dribble to me should’ve been the move knowing 9/10 he’s gonna at least get a foul callThat was his only shot in the last 5 minutes. One of his 3 in the final 7 and a half.

he could have passed the ball to someone else if he ain't 100%. guess he doesn't want Max Strus to be the savior of the Heat.

Said the same thing earlier, clock was on their side - there was NO need for that fast break type of play and poor shot. Defer to Oladipo, Strus or Lowry as they had the hot hand.

Instead they ended up making a major coaching move.

Udoka also needs to sit with his team and review the last minute of play. Celtics were looking really inexperienced during that stretch - poor shots, turnovers and overall lack of focus.
Can't make those types of mistakes against Warriors - need to be dialed in.

W's in 6. I want to say 5 but l think the league will pull some shenanigans to prevent that. Gonna be a great series, they line up nicely against each other.

And hopefully these few days off help Smart and Bob Williams get closer to healthy. Celtics are going to need more/better than what they got in the ECF from both of them to compete with the Warriors.

Really just hoping this isn't one of those blowout series. GS in 7 though.

Didn't know Jimmy was 32 playing the full 48 last night. Can't be mad that he pulled up and tried to end it in regulation. He left it all on the court.

People have forgotten how long it takes to win one typically. Not always, but Shaq didn’t win immediately in LA, Jordan didn’t win immediately, Lebron didn’t, etc
The answer is never to break up all star level talent unless they’re declining or don’t like each other…esp if they’re young
