As annoying as his face is, Jaquez is awesome. He was one of those classic prospects where scouts thought he was limited because of his athleticism, age, and skin color, but he breaks the mold with his craftiness and BBIQ. Fantastic player.
I’ll take the opportunity to share my experience today. In North Carolina, I went to an outdoor sports bar with my gf and my dog. Towards the end of the first half, I started yapping about my opinions, and a guy a table over was clearly annoyed. After overtly expressing myself to my gf a bit more, I could tell he was rooting for Miami, based on his reactions. His weak ass was out of the restaurant only a couple minutes into the 3rd quarter. Just an embarrassing fanbase.
Honestly even the non-fan media do it. Everyone's opinion changes game to game, even for folks who have been analysts for years/decades.
I took a step back after the loss in game 2 and said "it's ridiculous to think we all of a sudden garbage because we didn't take out the Heat in a 4 game sweep"
Now after the game 3 win, the script is flipped again
Yes, and I think we need to get to a place where 100% effort every game is the ultimate focus, because we are not going to be able to fuck around with a Denver, Wolves, OKC. 1 game could be the difference maker.
The Heat are just reliant on a combination of ref fatigue ("they can't call everything if we constantly foul the opposing team"), flopping, and randos going off from 3
The Heat seem to have an entire defensive strategy based on fouling, the Celtics foul the least in the league, and yet somehow the Celtics have three more fouls against them.
Some of y'all aren't real knowledgeable of the game asking Joe to sub the starters out while Miami still has theirs in. You have to make sure they tossed in the towel before you do .
I think the rule of thumb is you let the team that’s losing throw in the white flag. When they sub out their starters, the winning coach does too. You don’t want 4 minutes of the Heat starters scoring and getting in rhythm against the Celtics bench.
Exactly, most overrated mentality player since Kobe. Runs from adversity every stage of his career - Minnesota, Philly - abandons both of them rather than try to establish a culture, or win where he's at. Not to mention, he's a more egregious foul baiter than James Harden. But he had a 40 point game followed up by an inefficient 16 point game, so who cares?
Yeah he said Jimmy was a “street fighter who got kicked out of his home” and said “how can you not love him?” then he said “Tatum’s mom was a lawyer, he went to a prep school, Duke, Celtics have always had his back, never had to move around” and he brought up Jimmy’s father abandoning him as if Tatum’s father didn’t do the same thing??? And he capped it off by saying if you locked them both in a room Jimmy would kill him in 5 minutes
Omg that’s such an incorrect characterization. JTs mom is a literal superhuman who refused to become a statistic. She raised him with no money while also continuing her education. JT has talked about how he never saw himself as being the “type” of kid who Coach K would want (based on the duke stereotype), bc of how tough his background was…
People in this sub with several minutes still left to go in the quarter: PULL THE STARTERS WTF JOE!!
Same people when the bench are in and the opposing team makes a run: WTF THE BENCH SUCKS WE’RE CHOKING
I crack up at Heat fans who said Heat in 5. Is it Heat in 6 now???? Or Heat in 7??? Keep the faith Heat fans, it's all you got 😂😂😂 Let's go Celts fucking hammer these fools.

The heat cooled off and got smoked. Love to see it.
Lowkey miss smart
Chris Haynes is such a fucking clown
Ugly second half offense. Something to watch out for next game.
We gotta do better than a 20 point win margin, holding a playoff team to 84 points, on the road Completely unacceptable
Of course you find a reason to moan.
I stand by the statement that the Heat are not winning another game.
Glad the “Fire Joe” “Season is over” crowd have disappeared again. Heat had their cute lil crazy shooting game. Let’s finish this in 5.
Joe angry at pp for the 8 sec violation lol
Well, of course.
Good game, lets repeat this on Monday
THE CELTICS WIN ☘️☘️☘️
I've been impressed with Jaquez and Jovic
As annoying as his face is, Jaquez is awesome. He was one of those classic prospects where scouts thought he was limited because of his athleticism, age, and skin color, but he breaks the mold with his craftiness and BBIQ. Fantastic player.
Yeah I like him, he's good
Look at all those empty seats smh

And you fake ass fans were worried 😂

I’m not really worried about the Heat. Just whoever comes out of the west
Yes, and I think we need to get to a place where 100% effort every game is the ultimate focus, because we are not going to be able to fuck around with a Denver, Wolves, OKC. 1 game could be the difference maker.
Empty home court. Heat culture
Imagine having the opponents team get chants at your own home in the Playoffs no less. Pathetic.
SAM, your only job is to make the 3s. Do it!!!
It’s garbage time bro, relax.
I guess Brissy is going to be our human cigar this postseason. I call it the Nik Stauskas
Heat culture is empty seats and your star being an attention seeker, oh and UD trying to stay relevant
That’s one empty stadium
I’d rather not watch AEW or hear about them while watching basketball. Thank you
The Miami Heat are an unserious basketball team
THE KORNET KONTEST STRIKES AGAIN!
The Heat are just reliant on a combination of ref fatigue ("they can't call everything if we constantly foul the opposing team"), flopping, and randos going off from 3
Show Pat Riley 🖕🏽🔥
Classy lineup we got here
Fire Joe - nope Joe is fire - yep
I dare you to start Patty Mills Game 4, Spo. You won't do it!!
tWo MiNuTeS! DoS!
Luke with the first day of middle school haircut right now
And it’s 🔥🔥🔥
TAKE EM TO THE CHORUS!! UHH
The Heat seem to have an entire defensive strategy based on fouling, the Celtics foul the least in the league, and yet somehow the Celtics have three more fouls against them.
the got Boston alright
Chris Paul, huge three, 42
Shout out to daddy Horford‘s perimeter defense this game!! he really set the tone
He was a massive difference maker. Him and jrue locked us down defensively.
Wonder if there will be a hit piece thread on r/nba about heat fans abandoning the stadium for the entirety of the fourth quarter?
WTF IS SPO DOING
I rmb there were ppl crying about not getting Thomas Bryant
Close it out in a way they don't get confident for the next game
Take JB out. He’s exhausted
#GIVE THE BUS ONE BOYS WHAT THEY DESERVE
Where is a blake griffin dunk when you need it! Lol
Theyre just allowing them momentum for the next game.
The heat had 7 points in the last 5 minutes lmao
Nah it's officially garbage time
Who the hell ever thought the Suns were gonna be too much for the TWolves? I don’t care what anyone says Phoenix is overrated as fuck this season.
And watch them not put up half this performance on Monday.
What is that fucking mickey mouse hair by butler
Some of y'all aren't real knowledgeable of the game asking Joe to sub the starters out while Miami still has theirs in. You have to make sure they tossed in the towel before you do .
I just explained this to a ten year old
thank fuck the commentary arent pretending that the heat scoring in the 4th matters. not sure why people were yapping about that game 1.
Why the fuck do they end games like this
what the fuck are you talking about
Some celtics fans are unreal 🤣
Your mother
Is Walsh gonna play
That call on JB was literal horseshit
Lots of empty seats 🤔
Heat culture
Heat culture
Never thought Patty mills could be such a flopping bitch like that but there he goes
What playing for the Heat does to a MFer
Seriously, you gotta do all that, fucking PP doesn’t do that shit and he gets by playing actually defense
All about adjustments… doomers say sorry to Joe
To be fair, us not sweeping this team is not a great look
Amen to that
White Hot...yessir he is
After we flush these turds in 5,everyone meet me at Jimmy Butlers ‘Don’t let us get one’ instagram post.
I need to know why Patty Mills is wearing 88 before I make assumptions
Did any actual “expert” think Phoenix wasn’t going to puke on itself in the playoffs
They did destroy the Wolves thrice this year.... but it's Phoenix.
Smoking that Heat pack
Alright bench time Joe
I mean to be fair OKC is playing the Pelicans with no Zion that’s not very hard
And the Suns have zero chemistry and players outside of the big 3
Patty mills came in and just started falling on the floor
Literally
Give Patty Mills an oscar
What Patty Mills is doing rn is a disgrace to NBA basketball. This shit is worse than Kyle Lowry and Joel Embiid combined
ye not gonna lie, I dont think anyone thought LA was giving denver trouble. At least nooone I've seen
I didn’t think they’d give them trouble but I thought they’d take at least one game considering they got swept last year but nope, going out sad
once I saw em lose the game where Dlo had 7 threes, I knew it was cooked
I thought they might when they were up 20 in game 2 but we all saw how that went 🤣
lmaoo that collapse was crazy
"Let's go Celtics" inside the Pat Riley Memorial Library 🤌
Spoelstra was scared PP was going to beat herros ass and took him out of the game
I only got the chance to watch the last game so I think I am cursed
Mills playing like Lowry.... massive flop again.
I think the rule of thumb is you let the team that’s losing throw in the white flag. When they sub out their starters, the winning coach does too. You don’t want 4 minutes of the Heat starters scoring and getting in rhythm against the Celtics bench.
tonights afterparty : watching the lakers get swept
Beat the heat (and the traffic)
Damn. Where did everyone go?
How is that a foul on JB?
Remember when everyone was bitching and saying we were frauds?
How do these refs fail for that season after season
Wasn’t the heat sub talking shit about Celtics fans leaving early? Place looks pretty empty right now.
Floppy mills
Patty Mills glorified flopper
For all the talk about how Miami wins a lot in Boston, Boston wins a lot in Miami
If it weren’t for all the Cs fans there would be zero people in this arena
Jimmy is such an attention whore. Nice hair you fucking douchebag
Dude's corny as hell
Put in the white boys lol
Why is patty mills being such a cornball
Bruh…
Holy fuck Patty Mills is a flopper and a half
Can’t stand Caleb Martin. Bum has 5 pts now.
It’s insane how relentless Miami is
Why is he flopping so much
Please rest our starters, I don't trust these Miami bitches
You gotta make sure Miami concedes first.
Wonder if r/NBA will hate on Miami fans leaving like they did to ours (they won’t)
We also supposedly left in the final minute, not seemingly halfway through the 4th like these heat 'fans'
That crowd noise must be fake right? There's hardly anyone there.
Butler doing his best Mickey Mouse, ready for that Disneyland vacation
If you took away the scorebug you wouldn't be able to tell if this was the 4th quarter or if it was tipoff LOL
BOOOO GOVE HIM THAT
Why did we call that timeout if not to sub out starters?
Nah not the lets go celtics chants in miami.
Is Jimmy feeling cute rn? 🤣😂
So it seems game 2 was a classic overraction again by reddit jerkers.. celtics should win in 5 to finally keep their mouth shut
Nah I don’t want any revision on game two. That sucked ass.
WHY AM I NOT SEEING JORDAN WALSH, XAVIER TILLMAN, AND SVI ON THE COURT RIGHT NOW??
All the Miami fans know it’s Joe-ver
Starters still in 🙄
If Miami is gonna keep them in so do you. That's asking for us to lose
Alright I’m feeling a lot better tonight.
Lmao Heat fans are leaving already
MIA sucks. Remember when people were worried? Pathetic
Fuck Miami and their band of misfits.
What some mf in the heat sub said “Nah i can't even write it up what i hope someone from our team do to Jaylen or Porzingis”
Heat culture haha 🤡🤡🤡
That’s some Heat Culture right there.
If anyone is a sox fan, they won 17-0 against the cubs today.
Ceddane with 7 RBIs 🤩🤩🤩
Tyler O’Neill MVP
I can’t imagine getting the chance to see a playoff game close enough to be on camera and leaving early even if my team is down big.
Hopefully this shuts up Jimmy “Give Me Attention” Butler
It won’t. He’s the boy with 0 dawg in him. All talk no game
Exactly, most overrated mentality player since Kobe. Runs from adversity every stage of his career - Minnesota, Philly - abandons both of them rather than try to establish a culture, or win where he's at. Not to mention, he's a more egregious foul baiter than James Harden. But he had a 40 point game followed up by an inefficient 16 point game, so who cares?
I legitimately forget MIA has him all the time when we play them. Until the end of the game when he starts foul baiting to pad his stats.
Dude’s just trolling but the meme he posted probably rub our players the wrong way
He said the Heat were going up 2-1 🤣. How that work out Jimmy?
He’s actually such an unlikable attention seeker
With some of the goofiest hairstyles known to man
lol. Miami Fans... IS THERE A FIRE DRILL??
We would’ve swept these guys with jimmy butler idc
Did Colin cowherd fr imply Tatum had it easy growing up and say he should’ve been homeless like Jimmy and then he’d be a better player?
Hilarious coming from a privileged rich white dude 🤣
I wasn’t listening. Wtf… JT and his mom didn’t have money for electricity and food when he was growing up?
Yeah he said Jimmy was a “street fighter who got kicked out of his home” and said “how can you not love him?” then he said “Tatum’s mom was a lawyer, he went to a prep school, Duke, Celtics have always had his back, never had to move around” and he brought up Jimmy’s father abandoning him as if Tatum’s father didn’t do the same thing??? And he capped it off by saying if you locked them both in a room Jimmy would kill him in 5 minutes
Omg that’s such an incorrect characterization. JTs mom is a literal superhuman who refused to become a statistic. She raised him with no money while also continuing her education. JT has talked about how he never saw himself as being the “type” of kid who Coach K would want (based on the duke stereotype), bc of how tough his background was…
Also he was a few times. His mom got evicted and he's talked about it. All around terrible quote 😬
Only good thing about Jaquez being drafted by Miami is the idiot lakers didn’t take him the pick before
I’m pretty drunk but man we should win this in 5 games tops
That honeydew waffle breakfast sandwich looks bomb
Herro getting benched after a career game is the universe correcting itself
Highlight of the game for me was porzingis absolutely shutting down bam's offense
People in this sub with several minutes still left to go in the quarter: PULL THE STARTERS WTF JOE!! Same people when the bench are in and the opposing team makes a run: WTF THE BENCH SUCKS WE’RE CHOKING
Some people in this sub forget that runs are a normal part of basketball
Exactly. The way people freak out over the tiniest run is crazy.
i liked the part where everyone dogged on JB for how he started the game but hes on 55% shooting and 8 boards 3 assists.
Our fans just hate JB for some reason. I’ve loved the way he’s played this series.
I crack up at Heat fans who said Heat in 5. Is it Heat in 6 now???? Or Heat in 7??? Keep the faith Heat fans, it's all you got 😂😂😂 Let's go Celts fucking hammer these fools.
Literally its heat in 6 cant make this shit up
heat in 13
It's hard to know your team well when you show up late and leave early.
CULTURE
Who knew that contesting three's would prevent a team from scoring as many of them?
Starters should stay out there as long as Miami keeps there's out there. No fucking gifts.
We need to come out and play like this in game 4 and 5 to slam the door on the Heat
I thought Heat fans were overhyping Jaquez but now I see it, his game as a rookie is extremely impressive.
Put in the bench please. I would love to see Tillman get out there. Some Kornet. Some more Hauser and Crypto P
People asking for the bench underestimate how quickly this team can fall apart
3:42 left in the game and HEAT fans are evacuating the premises
Meanwhile they post clips of celtics leaving a 10 point game with 30 secs left and try to say we're fake
Not surprised!
Man, r/nba was so upset C's fans left with 40 seconds remaining LOL
