BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 108-89 loss to the Boston Celtics:
– This is why you don’t let one get away on Sunday night in Toronto.
– Not with a schedule now this unforgiving.
– No, the expectation hardly was of the Heat, no matter the physical state of their roster, striding out of TD Garden with a victory.
– But the previous portion of the schedule allowed the Heat to position themselves so it wouldn’t be an exit with a losing record.
– As it is now, at 9-10.
– With LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers up next.
– And then Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.
– And then the good-enough-to-beat-the-Celtics Cleveland Cavaliers
– This would have required the Heat at their healthiest best.
– Instead, in the injury absence of Jimmy Butler, there was no one to pick up the pieces.
– As much as Jaime Jaquez Jr.
BOSTON — All the perspective you need about this one is this: Thomas Bryant was first off the bench, with Dru Smith shortly thereafter given the keys to run the offense.
No, this is not how the Miami Heat envisioned the approach to the first meeting of the season against the Boston Celtics.
But with injuries decimating the rotation, that’s what they got in Monday night’s 108-89 loss at TD Garden.
Unable to keep pace with Jaylen Brown or the Celtics’ 3-pointers, the Heat found themselves overmatched against a Celtics roster that was without Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Sam Hauser.
