What’s the buzz on Twitter? Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsIn a game where just about everything is going right for the Celtics, so, too, did Joe Mazzulla’s challenge of Kyle Lowry’s attempt at a charge. – 10:27 PM Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBPCeltics win the challenge.Blocking foul on LowryBoston retains possession.96-78, Boston, 7:58 left.Celtics (0-3) have not made a shot yet in the 4th quarter. – 10:26 PM Shandel Richardson @ShandelRichNo assists by Kyle Lowry in first half. 5 of 16 shooting from Bam and Jimmy. 10 turnovers. It’s amazing the Heat are only down 17. 11 3s by Boston – 9:44 PM Jay King @ByJayKingThat’s three fouls on Duncan Robinson, which seems like a really big deal the way this game has gone so far. Heat already thin with Gabe Vincent out in addition to the guys who have missed all series. – 9:17 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNUHaywood Highsmith in rotation with Gabe Vincent out… already has an assist on a Duncan Robinson 3 and a pick-six off of a bad Tatum pass – 9:10 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305More of the Heat offense bleeding into their defense here earlyLowry needs to take the pull-up to make this workBad shots mean bad transition defense – 8:42 PM Bobby Manning @RealBobManningLast Kyle Lowry start – Feb. 2. 3 PTS 2 AST 1/7 FG in 24 minutes. 5/19 FG in Games 2-4. Looked like he tweaked something last game. They need him badly. – 8:32 PM Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBPHeat at Celtics – TD Garden – May 25, 2023 – ECF Game 5 StartersBoston – Smart, White, Brown, Tatum, HorfordMiami – Kyle Lowry, Max Strus, Jimmy Butler, Kevin Love, Bam AdebayoOUT: Boston: Gallinari Miami: Vincent, Herro, Oladipo pic.twitter.com/dAIc59Gjxr – 8:01 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeatWith Gabe Vincent (ankle) out, Heat going with a starting lineup of Bam Adebayo, Kevin Love, Jimmy Butler, Max Strus and . . . Kyle Lowry. – 8:01 PM Evan Sidery @esideryWith Gabe Vincent out tonight for the Heat, look for Jimmy Butler to carry an even heavier offensive workload.Explained a good method to target value with @BenScottStevens on @SportsGrid this morning.On @FDSportsbook, Butler to produce 25 points and 6 assists is currently… pic.twitter.com/Ssvc7TYnZ1 – 5:56 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_ChiangGabe Vincent has hit 55.6 percent of his pull-up shots in the East finals, including 50 percent on three pull-up three-point attempts per game.With both Tyler Herro and Vincent out tonight, the Heat needs more Kyle Lowry pull-ups in Game 5 to fill some of that production. – 2:27 PM Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBAThe Heat score an elite 1.19 points per Gabe Vincent’s 19.5 pick-and-rolls per game in the playoffs.Points per P&R by series via @SecondSpectrum:Bucks: 1.02Knicks: 1.23Celtics: 1.45Without him, Jimmy Butler (31.1 P&R per game) and Kyle Lowry (17.2) should absorb touches.… pic.twitter.com/RmPA4L6lq4 – 2:21 PM Bobby Manning @RealBobManningSpoelstra this morning on Gabe Vincent’s absence: “We haven’t played traditionally (through the point guard) basically all season. That’s the luxury of the versatility of this roster, having guys like Jimmy and Bam that can handle and shoulder a lot of those responsibilities…” – 2:13 PM Tas Melas @TasMelasPretty good alternative for the Heat to have the GROAT, the “Peach from South Beach” (cc @JasmineLWatkins), champ to take over for Gabe Vincent tonight. – 12:35 PM Jay King @ByJayKingAl Horford said Gabe Vincent’s playing as well as he’s seen him play so his absence will definitely impact the Heat. – 12:08 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldbergThe Heat asked Bam Adebayo to run the offense in Game 5 in Milwaukee in the first round. They could do it again tonight.With Lowry in foul trouble, Heat went with a ton of high-low w/ Bam feeding Butler. Bam had 10 assists, Butler had 42 points and the Heat won on the road. pic.twitter.com/huVvKpMv4q – 12:03 PM John Karalis @John_KaralisHonestly the number one thing for Boston to focus on tonight with Lowry in the game is holding solid screens and not moving. Lowry will hit the floor a bunch tonight trying to get Horford and Rob on moving screens. Just be solid on those and force Lowry to chase. He can’t keep up – 11:56 AM Nick Friedell @NickFriedellSpoelstra isn’t ready to reveal his replacement in the starting lineup for Vincent — but he spoke of a great deal of confidence in veteran Kyle Lowry being able to play more minutes if needed. – 11:25 AM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305The Heat need the Bam Adebayo close-out performance tonightThe Heat are making him an even bigger priority in the early offense I believeNow more duties to get others involved with Gabe Vincent not playing – 10:58 AM Michael Pina @MichaelVPinaspoelstra has been reluctant to disrupt his bench mob (lowry and martin, specifically).i wouldn’t be surprised if someone on the fringe of miami’s rotation bumped into the starting lineup tonight. think duncan robinson or haywood highsmith. – 10:43 AM Ben Rohrbach @brohrbachWithout Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo tonight, the Heat are going to need an old-school Kyle Lowry performance at the point tonight. The 37-year-old Lowry has played more than 32 minutes just twice in 2023. – 10:40 AM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannixGabe Vincent a big loss for Miami tonight. Averaging 17.5 points on 58% shooting, 50% from three. Expect some heavy minutes from the available Heat backcourt tonight. – 10:37 AM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeatHeat listing Gabe Vincent as out for tonight in Boston due to ankle sprain sustained in Tuesday night’s loss to Celtics. – 10:35 AM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305Well that’s newsGabe Vincent now ruled out tonight for game 5, per ShamsThe Heat now need that game 6 type Kyle Lowry from last ECFThey’re missing two of their biggest pull-up threats now – 10:33 AM More on this storyline
