Nobody has been good for the Heat tonight, but Bam Adebayo getting bullied by Porzingis and Horford was most disappointing. I’m sick of watching him pump fake his way to getting his shot blocked – 7:54 PM

Horford, Holiday hit 3s out of timeout and Miami is about to go behind by 30 again. – 7:41 PM

#Celtics withstanding the #Heat run, trading baskets. Derrick White once again with a couple of key buckets and an Al Horford layup to keep lead at 23. – 7:38 PM

Just baffling non-effort plays by the #Heat in this one. Horford beats their entire defense up the floor with a baseline in-bounds and White hits Brown underneath for an easy 2. – 7:32 PM

Love the Pritchard/Holiday/Hauser/Tatum/Horford group, they played really well together during the regular season – 6:26 PM

Al Horford on the threes: “They shot a lot of them … I know we will be better next game. There’ll be more of an awareness to that.”

Chris Forsberg: Al Horford says about 10 times in his chat with reporters that the Celtics just need to be better defending the 3. “I know that we want to make it elaborate but got to be better defending the 3. Simple as that.” -via Twitter @ChrisForsberg_ / April 25, 2024

ClutchPoints: “We went from laughing and joking several hours before the game to the switch… I know he’s [Allen Iverson] about to go there and get 40.” Carmelo Anthony talks about how A.I. locked in for games during their time at the Nuggets 🗣 (via @7PMinBrooklyn) pic.twitter.com/05YBC89ujA -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / April 19, 2024
Brooklyn Nets interim coach Kevin Ollie played with Iverson during his time with the Sixers and he gushed over what “The Answer” means to the City of Brotherly Love. “He mans a lot to this city and people sometimes misconstrue what Allen brings because all of the different things that he changed for the game of basketball on and off the basketball court,” said Ollie on Sunday. “He’s authentically himself and people don’t know how talented he is off the court. I mean, funny, can sing, can draw people on the plane. People just don’t know how talented this guy is, but the best talent he has is loyalty. Being a great teammate.” -via Sixers Wire / April 15, 2024
