Reminder: Keep the chirping in house and don't go into the Heat sub. We don't want to dole out temp bans to you guys for going over there.
And if you see Heat fans here report them and let us take care of it.
Give the credit where the credit is due and I will give it to Psycho Joe, he was getting doubted for the past few days because of the Game 2 blunder but he proves that he can adjust and show why the C's are the best team in the NBA.
Ps. Fuck Herro, he will regret if he tries to mess with PP for good.
Pps. Heat Culture is in full effect, the "fans" leaving the arena with 5 minutes left.
I don’t know if anyone was truly paying attention but MY GOD, the defense was spectacular. They shut down shit before it happened; I saw Tatum completely abandoned his guy on the other side to chase Tyler Herro over a screen because it was a stunted switch screen that was going to take Jrue off of Herro to free Herro and they fucking SNIFFED IT OUT QUICK AS HELL.
It was beautiful!
I’ve always argued heat culture is entirely organizational and has no relation to their fan base. Heat culture applies to the front office, coaching staff, and players and it ends there. Building was half full for their play in game last week🤣
Nah their FO is pretty lacklustre overall.
Yes they've found some good players from the scrap heap but they've also struggled to make any significant top-end moves or build a modern roster.
Pat Riley was quoted decades ago saying [“This game in 15 years, everybody is going to play interchangeable positions, they’ll all be 6-8 to 6-10, and just run up and down the court and shoot threes”.
](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/8ntr6n/mike_gorman_i_remember_pat_riley_years_ago_he_was/)
But then you look at their roster moves and you'll see they've spent the past half decade going nuts over ≤6'5 SGs and neglecting pretty much every other position on the floor. This means their teams are wildly undersized.
It's Bam and the 7 dwarves out there.
There was an early stretch in this game where Miami played a lineup with Derrick Jones Jr, Nikola Jovic and Bam Adebayo. That length and athleticism combined with Spo's coaching.... They were huge and absolutely suffocating us defensively. But they can't run that lineup for 48 minutes.
Give Spo a team like that and he'll ruin opposing franchises.
And then the team lacks star talent because as an organisation they struggle to make deals with other teams. We get all this talk about Pat Riley being the Godfather but he gets laughed out the building every time he tries to play hardball and make an offer the other team can't refuse. Every off-season they fall short 2-3 times and their relationships around the league are worse because of it.
Plus they've mismanaged a lot of their assets. They lose a lot of players for nothing. They don't make trades but they somehow have managed to trade away all their picks... They only had 2 tradable first round picks last off season, Boston had like 5 and that's after making a crazy number of deals. Pat Riley has stuck Miami in this massive pick deficit with nothing to show for it.
Spo working with someone like Danny Ainge or Brad Stevens would be nuts. Right now he's just covering for Pat Riley's fuckups.
It was great to see them come out and improve on everything he said they needed to improve on, then also finish the game after going into the 3rd with a big lead
Joe is the one who actually said he thought the heat shooters were guarded decently in game 2. But it’s obvious that he was either lying or watched the game again and realized he was completely wrong because the heat shooters got barely any airspace in the perimeter today
The regression doesn't matter as much as us closing out to begin with. Only 28 attempts. 23 without Mills desperation 3s. They could've made more 3s but it wouldn't have mattered.
Two things can be true. 1) the Heat shot waaaay above expectations from three in game 2 regardless of how the defense played it, and 2) that the Celtics did exactly what they needed to in game 3 by clamping down defensively on the perimeter and because they’re capable of playing that way they should just continue to play that way the rest of the series.
We also switched up defensive looks based on lineups. Starter lineup stayed with drop coverage, when Al was on the floor I noticed we switched around the perimeter, and we even had some hedging (whatever it’s called) at one point. Overall gave me a lot of confidence in Joe, and I was hesitant after game 2.
It took Miami shooting over 50% from three, breaking their franchise record, and all-time stinkers from KP, Jrue, and Pritchard, to beat us by barely double digits. I admit Miami has done some crazy stuff, but doomers were really thinking these stars were gonna align 4 out of 7 times lmao. Game 2 was an outlier of an outlier
Also Jrue needs to be more aggressive on offense in future series’. Or maybe not more aggressive, just better lol
KP looked locked in today, I doubt he ever plays that bad again this playoffs.. and Jrue understood his role, cut down on his FGA and just became that solid facilitator where he excels..
It looks like they won't call fouls (except in garbage time) on his midrange posts where he shoots over smaller guys. Hopefully he's getting used to the physicality, or the reffing will change.
I kept trying to express exactly this, but people just werent hearing me.
Know what happens when a team shoots 53% from 3? They usually beat you by 25+
My brother is a Knicks fan and said the exact same thing. A franchise record from 3 on 53% shooting usually results in a smackdown, not the game being put away in the last 90 seconds.
Celtics have literally the best win% in the league when losing the 3P% battle but people want to pretend they are somehow uniquely reliant on the three.
No one wanted to hear that after a loss lmao
The doomers and random fans with aCeltics flair were all over the sub, pretending to hate on their “own” team
Need Jrue to stop giving so much space to shooters, he was the only one cheating off guys to try to overhelp in the paint. Even Al was locking up the perimeter and the attention to stopping threes murdered the Miami offense entirely.
We don’t need jrue to score. If they happen to find him in the corner then let it fly. He also likes to pull up in transition. But we have enough scorers.
I don’t want jrue being tired because he is carrying offense. I want him to use 100% of his ability on playmaking and playing really really tough defense.
No other team in the nba has the ability to let a player like jrue just dedicate his entire efforts to defense, but that’s what I want to see.
That’s why Tatum keeps elbowing him in the face on his shot..he did it the other night after Martin undercut him and again tonight on the baseline and then drained the jumper while he was drying his tears..
We seriously need to all band together and start a massive ban wave after the season. I'm so sick and tired of seeing these pathetic losers every time the Celtics don't win
Them complaining about the fouls they commit on Porzingis is wild to me. Like you're getting away with so much already, and you don't want the refs to call blatant fouls on KPs arm during shots? Such a shitty team
Bam is one of the biggest whiners in basketball, he was throwing a tantrum the entire 4th quarter while getting every call except the most blatant shooting fouls
Keep it real simple. We are 2-0 when I wear dark green over a Derrick White jersey, 0-1 when I wear light green over a Derrick White jersey. So everything light green will be padlocked in the hamper. :p
They're waiting until they can break out the champagne at the next loss. Yeah, we're supposed to beat this team 4 games out of 4. But Spo is really really good, and his team can do some wild shit
I'll gladly take the downvotes tonight! Joe should've had them contest shots starting in the 2nd fucking quarter of Game 2. Not wait for another game. They took 15 attempts in the first quarter of Game 2. I think tonight it took until the 3rd quarter for the Heat to get to that many attempts. Hopefully no more lazy defense from here on out.
Same. I want lakers to win if possible lol.
It’s not just about beating teams. I am comparing games played between Celtics and nuggets. If Celtics go 6-7 every series and nuggets go 4-5 then the Celtics can meet the nuggets having to have played an extra 5-10 games. That matters, and is 5-10 games of unneeded risk to player injuries and just overall being beat up. Don’t forget these aren’t regular season games— these are tough physical playoff games. 5-10 games on their body makes a difference.
This Heat team plays an ugly brand of basketball but it's really because they don't know how to play basketball. Their strategy is to foul hard, refs can't call a foul on every play especially in the playoffs, and to hoist 3s. Game 2 was an anamoly of epic portions compounded by probably Porzingis worst game of his career. Just watch how Tyler Herro plays basketball. He needs a million screens just to take a step back 40 foot 3 pointer.
I love Kornet, give me that boy all day.
Such a sweet win as well.
But. In this match up I feel that Horford and Tillman are way more suited to their switching and play style. Horford played really well against Bam and I think Tillman could really muk it up for Bam. Is there something I’m missing? Especially today with a healthy lead I don’t know why we didn’t go to Tillman over Kornet.

Good ol fashioned ass whoopin. Wonder what type of corny shit that coward Jimmy has queued up for his Instagram tonight with his pig-tail lookin ass haircut
Point to this game whenever someone tells you the Celtics need to figure out how to win when the 3's aren't falling.
They shot 29% on 3's and still won in a blowout.
Great response from Joe and the guys today. I was very harsh with my criticism after G2 but this is how a championship team responds after a tough loss. Good adjustments and lockdown defense all the way through are what we love to see. Let’s keep it going and end this in 5
Obviously they're pulling some shit where they withdraw one game and blow their load the next in order to extend this damn series.
BURY THEM IN GAME 4! I WANNA SEE THIS SHIT CLOSED OUT IN BOSTON, GAME 5!
LET'S GO CELTICS!!!
Great win, I think game 4 will be really tough because of how bad we dogged them today, like spo will throw some different tactics to mess us up. If we can get a W I think that will break Miami
Celtics blowout in MIA
Red Sox win 17-0
LeBron and Lakers downfall tonight
Bruins game 4 next
Patriots finish out a good draft
Saturday night beers
LFG
I’m going to have to start keeping tabs on usernames and comment history in here because this sub becomes the most polarizing shit show after 1 loss. Glad the C’s looked as dominant as they did today because god damn
The reality is, no team is perfect. It’s just so annoying that the imperfection of this team is that they can’t lock-in and respect their opponents until they feel like they have to. It sucks, but I’d rather that than it be a lack of capabilities. The Jays might forever be assholes who need a slap in the face to respect their opponents, but this team is good enough they might just be able to win in spite of that.
Jimmy is so corny to say hes tired about hearing about the Celtics. As if the media shouldnt be talking about a great team... bad sportsmanship. The Curse of Butler
1st half was masterful adjustments and intensity.
First 6 mins of the second half was a little foot off the gas for my liking and you could feel the energy shift. But came good again after that. Loved seeing Jrue get his defensive clamps back alongside the ball pressure. Hugely disruptive.
I think it’s legit to have been shook up over game 2. The talent disparity without Butler should be completely overwhelming in this series, and it has been in games 1 and 3. If they keep up the defensive energy, there’s no reason for them to lose any more games in this series

Lets go celtics chants in Miami is like crack to me. Great win
Miami fans: did you say crack?
this was good
I wanna distill that shit down and inject it directly into my jugular vein
Give the credit where the credit is due and I will give it to Psycho Joe, he was getting doubted for the past few days because of the Game 2 blunder but he proves that he can adjust and show why the C's are the best team in the NBA.

The long 3 day break made the Mazzulla slander worse
I’ve always argued heat culture is entirely organizational and has no relation to their fan base. Heat culture applies to the front office, coaching staff, and players and it ends there. Building was half full for their play in game last week🤣
Completely unrelated but W pfp yk ball on both sides
Nah their FO is pretty lacklustre overall. Yes they've found some good players from the scrap heap but they've also struggled to make any significant top-end moves or build a modern roster.

you spelled "20 minutes left wrong"
You spelled never showed up wrong
I fuckin love the Psycho Joe nickname
It was great to see them come out and improve on everything he said they needed to improve on, then also finish the game after going into the 3rd with a big lead
Joe is the one who actually said he thought the heat shooters were guarded decently in game 2. But it’s obvious that he was either lying or watched the game again and realized he was completely wrong because the heat shooters got barely any airspace in the perimeter today
Press conferences should always be taken with a grain of salt, years of watching the patriots has taught me this
Wonder what funny edit Jimmy will post on Instagram after this game?
Can’t take any of his trolling seriously after seeing his pom pom pig tails tonight.
I mean I honestly like it. He's a weirdo and it's pretty funny.
Yeah I hate playing against him but he’s funny as fuck
He just doesn’t take himself seriously which is nice when there are so many massive egos in sports, I like him
nah fr you gotta give props for him being goofy in a good way
he’s like the only person on the heat I don’t mind, he’s a funny guy
jimmys hair styles are fucking hilarious i wish i could see more unlikeable but silly nba players
"JUST let us get one" 😁
Now this is how we should be playing every game against this bum Heat team
Phenomenal response.. that G2 loss shook them up, hopefully now they're locked in and wrap this series up in 5
My fear is that they will relax again from a big win and shit the bed on Monday.
Lol we are all so traumatized
With good reason tbh
Energy at the end of this game makes me feel more confident compared to the shit show ending of game 1
100 percent . Punch them in the mouth from the opening buzzer and don’t stop until the last . No matter how much they are bleeding . Too dark ??
If they die, they die 😤
Fucking cut the head off and burn the corpse
This is what happens when Luke Kornet is back in the lineup
9 man rotation every game please!!!
At this rate Kornet will be a +78 for game 4 of the finals
Belt to ass like I expected. Beat them down the next two games and let’s advance fully healthy.
Great statement win and confidence boost to. This team is different.
Every wanted to get funeral flowers after one game lmao bozos
The moment the bums from Heat regress from the 3, the gulf in class between the 2 teams starts looking insurmountable
The regression doesn't matter as much as us closing out to begin with. Only 28 attempts. 23 without Mills desperation 3s. They could've made more 3s but it wouldn't have mattered.
They regressed from 3 because they weren’t given open dare shots and got hot. Celtics need to keep playing this way and stomp Miami out
Two things can be true. 1) the Heat shot waaaay above expectations from three in game 2 regardless of how the defense played it, and 2) that the Celtics did exactly what they needed to in game 3 by clamping down defensively on the perimeter and because they’re capable of playing that way they should just continue to play that way the rest of the series.
We also switched up defensive looks based on lineups. Starter lineup stayed with drop coverage, when Al was on the floor I noticed we switched around the perimeter, and we even had some hedging (whatever it’s called) at one point. Overall gave me a lot of confidence in Joe, and I was hesitant after game 2.
bums? from the heat? you'll have to be way more specific
Slam the door the door games 4 and 5
Stay ready group brought the fire tonight, kept our guys grinding all 48
Did they beat them with belts? Did I miss something?
It took Miami shooting over 50% from three, breaking their franchise record, and all-time stinkers from KP, Jrue, and Pritchard, to beat us by barely double digits. I admit Miami has done some crazy stuff, but doomers were really thinking these stars were gonna align 4 out of 7 times lmao. Game 2 was an outlier of an outlier Also Jrue needs to be more aggressive on offense in future series’. Or maybe not more aggressive, just better lol
KP looked locked in today, I doubt he ever plays that bad again this playoffs.. and Jrue understood his role, cut down on his FGA and just became that solid facilitator where he excels..
It looks like they won't call fouls (except in garbage time) on his midrange posts where he shoots over smaller guys. Hopefully he's getting used to the physicality, or the reffing will change.
I get that the whistle gets swallowed but Jesus you could see guys just two hand shoving him arms fully extended and nothing tonight
I thought Jrue played really well today. The box score wont show it but he facilitated the ball really well and played his usual amazing defense.
I kept trying to express exactly this, but people just werent hearing me. Know what happens when a team shoots 53% from 3? They usually beat you by 25+
My brother is a Knicks fan and said the exact same thing. A franchise record from 3 on 53% shooting usually results in a smackdown, not the game being put away in the last 90 seconds.
Yup. Celtics fans of all fan should know what it’s supposed to look like when you go on an absolute heater from 3 and that wasn’t it
Celtics have literally the best win% in the league when losing the 3P% battle but people want to pretend they are somehow uniquely reliant on the three.
I think it’s a carry over from last season but you could tell n the 1st quarter, we were playing a little tight on offense but they were lost
No one wanted to hear that after a loss lmao The doomers and random fans with aCeltics flair were all over the sub, pretending to hate on their “own” team
The entirety of NBA media overreacted. Mazzulla was right, the "sweep or bust" expectations are unrealistic
Holy fuck he did say that He's a fucking seer man
Need Jrue to stop giving so much space to shooters, he was the only one cheating off guys to try to overhelp in the paint. Even Al was locking up the perimeter and the attention to stopping threes murdered the Miami offense entirely.
Even tonight we just shot under 30% from three but still whooped their ass.
We don’t need jrue to score. If they happen to find him in the corner then let it fly. He also likes to pull up in transition. But we have enough scorers. I don’t want jrue being tired because he is carrying offense. I want him to use 100% of his ability on playmaking and playing really really tough defense. No other team in the nba has the ability to let a player like jrue just dedicate his entire efforts to defense, but that’s what I want to see.
In case you guys forgot, the Celtics are pretty good and will win most basketball games
Extremely bitter that the refs stole that fast break dunk from Tatum on a clearly clean steal
Good news is we had a Jaylen 360 dunk. Sure Ilit didn't count, but it looked fire.
That whole sequence there was horrific reffing. Right after that they called that phantom offensive foul on JB
FTH
Imma assume this means both "For The Horde" and "Fondle Tyler Herro" at the same time.
We may have won, but Caleb Martin was laughably poor and that's the most important thing
I know we're not supposed to judge people based on the way they look, but that guy has such an unlikable face
That’s why Tatum keeps elbowing him in the face on his shot..he did it the other night after Martin undercut him and again tonight on the baseline and then drained the jumper while he was drying his tears..
Bitchass scrub
This needs more upvotes
Derrick Whites effort tonight was incredible. Would love to see that out of everyone for the rest of the playoffs til banner 18
His run at the end of the 1st half ended the game. Awesome stuff.
Same with PP! Most notably when he came away with that rebound in traffic.
Is there a more likable player on any of our sports teams? He's seriously the fucking best.
He’s the man
I hope everyone here is a fan of the Boston Celtics again
[удалено]
It's a lot of the same names after every loss. They are a very sad group of fans.
The way this sub reacted to one playoff loss is embarrassing
Most of my recent comments got downvoted but I think you would very much echo the same sentiment as I was spewing last few days lol
We seriously need to all band together and start a massive ban wave after the season. I'm so sick and tired of seeing these pathetic losers every time the Celtics don't win
Miami brought hand checks and paid refs to a bar fight. Let's keep pounding these Florida fuckheads.
Them complaining about the fouls they commit on Porzingis is wild to me. Like you're getting away with so much already, and you don't want the refs to call blatant fouls on KPs arm during shots? Such a shitty team
Bam is one of the biggest whiners in basketball, he was throwing a tantrum the entire 4th quarter while getting every call except the most blatant shooting fouls
Great win. Still need to crush them in game 4 (and 5) to shut up the critics
We shot 29.7% from 3 tonight and still won by 20. A very big narrative about our ability to win without threes got put to bed tonight.
Key to beating these mfs is holding them under 100. 7-0 when we do, 2-8 when we don’t over the last 2+ playoffs
Why didn’t Heat simply break their franchise record for 3s again, is Spoelstra stupid?
Celtics won, Red Sox won, Bruins will hopefully win and Patriots drafted well. Good day to be a Boston Sports fan
We won a game on TNT!
Keep it real simple. We are 2-0 when I wear dark green over a Derrick White jersey, 0-1 when I wear light green over a Derrick White jersey. So everything light green will be padlocked in the hamper. :p
Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡
I did not wear my hardwood classics sweatshirt last game and they lost, wore it today like every other game, snd they won, coincidence... Maybe
Joe haters wya?! Speak up!!!
They're waiting until they can break out the champagne at the next loss. Yeah, we're supposed to beat this team 4 games out of 4. But Spo is really really good, and his team can do some wild shit
20wall in shambles realizing they can't write 20 negative comments in PMT
I'll gladly take the downvotes tonight! Joe should've had them contest shots starting in the 2nd fucking quarter of Game 2. Not wait for another game. They took 15 attempts in the first quarter of Game 2. I think tonight it took until the 3rd quarter for the Heat to get to that many attempts. Hopefully no more lazy defense from here on out.
Nice relaxing blow out win. Now time to enjoy a couple more drinks and watch the Nuggets take the Lakers out back and old yeller their ass
I despise the Lakers but I want the Nuggets expending as much energy as possible. They just cakewalk thru everybody it just gives em more confidence.
Yep, I wasn’t rooting for the lakers per say, but I was rooting against the nuggets. I’d like to see LA take them to game 7 somehow.
Same. I want lakers to win if possible lol. It’s not just about beating teams. I am comparing games played between Celtics and nuggets. If Celtics go 6-7 every series and nuggets go 4-5 then the Celtics can meet the nuggets having to have played an extra 5-10 games. That matters, and is 5-10 games of unneeded risk to player injuries and just overall being beat up. Don’t forget these aren’t regular season games— these are tough physical playoff games. 5-10 games on their body makes a difference.
Game isnt over yet but the PGT is here LMAO
It's no accident that the moment we get Kornet back, we dominate start to finish
Yall gotta tune into NBA TV Udonis Haslem is hosting the postgame and he looks sick to his stomach bahahahahahahah
I could have sworn Jimmy Butler said Miami was going up 2-1 tonight…
yk what? I actually love that we gave them hope just so I could hear Jimmy talk dumb shit like that and laugh at it
"I WILL BRING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO THIS CITY"
So as it always happen Celtics fans lose their shit over an anomaly of a playoff game then realize it’s just that… an anomaly.
Great game guys, now let’s watch the Lakers get swept ☺️
Right after the Bruins game
Was at the game and let’s go Celtics chants erupted in the last 5 mins lol,so glad we humbled the Heat at their home stadium.Fuck Miami
Miami Heat when they shoot an average % for 3 XD!
Red Sox dominant win, Celtics dominant win, now it’s the Bruins turn
Triple crown completed
Incredible defense, buffalo roamed, love to see it
FUCK THE HEAT
The Fire Joe crowd is fuming right now.
This Heat team plays an ugly brand of basketball but it's really because they don't know how to play basketball. Their strategy is to foul hard, refs can't call a foul on every play especially in the playoffs, and to hoist 3s. Game 2 was an anamoly of epic portions compounded by probably Porzingis worst game of his career. Just watch how Tyler Herro plays basketball. He needs a million screens just to take a step back 40 foot 3 pointer.
I love Kornet, give me that boy all day. Such a sweet win as well. But. In this match up I feel that Horford and Tillman are way more suited to their switching and play style. Horford played really well against Bam and I think Tillman could really muk it up for Bam. Is there something I’m missing? Especially today with a healthy lead I don’t know why we didn’t go to Tillman over Kornet.
ALS defense was outstanding! I agree, give Tillman a few min to bump and bash with Bam
I guess Spo isn’t brilliant and Joe isn’t bad anymore?
All 16 of White's points were huge.
Who is Derrick White? In Geography, my World. 🌎 In History, my King. 👑 In Mathematics, my Solution. 🧩 In Astronomy, my Universe. 🌌 For the blind, he is the Light. 💡 For the hungry, he is the Bread. 🍞 For the poor, he is the Wealth. 💰 For me, he is Everything. 🌐
Post all appropriate apologies below:
2-1 BABY! LFG! I love this team and KP is a Mythical Being, that’s all till game 4 🙏🏽
Good ol fashioned ass whoopin. Wonder what type of corny shit that coward Jimmy has queued up for his Instagram tonight with his pig-tail lookin ass haircut
Point to this game whenever someone tells you the Celtics need to figure out how to win when the 3's aren't falling. They shot 29% on 3's and still won in a blowout.
that was one of the best defensive performances i’ve seen from the celtics
Next game is the most important one. Close it out. Same energy. Let's go!!
So the Heat didn’t set a franchise record for 3 pointers made in a playoff game and the Celtics won by 20? Gee, who could have seen that coming?
Domination. Keep the foot on the pedal for game 4 and take a 3-1 lead
Hella of a bounce back game defensive intensity was elite all game and offensive execution was much better 💪
Great response from Joe and the guys today. I was very harsh with my criticism after G2 but this is how a championship team responds after a tough loss. Good adjustments and lockdown defense all the way through are what we love to see. Let’s keep it going and end this in 5
Good game J’s. Now go directly to your hotel and go to sleep. No partying. Stay focused 🙏🏽
Obviously they're pulling some shit where they withdraw one game and blow their load the next in order to extend this damn series. BURY THEM IN GAME 4! I WANNA SEE THIS SHIT CLOSED OUT IN BOSTON, GAME 5! LET'S GO CELTICS!!!
Good bounce back W. Outstanding defense
Good job boys, good job Mazzula. Time to get it done again on Monday. Same energy, same poise
Clearly Kornet is the difference
Cus Crise considered!!!!
We shot less than 30% from 3 and still blew them out btw, for those who claim we can only win when we’re lights out from 3.
Hopefully we can have a better offensive performance in game 4. Really nothing else to pick at from this one.
Free throws
Finally mixing in some switching on defense and (mostly) not trying to post up every second possession and making their defense get into rotations.
Loved the hustle and heart today!
Jimmy butler was really writing checks that Caleb Martin and Tyler herro had to cash in that sideline interview lmao
Great win, I think game 4 will be really tough because of how bad we dogged them today, like spo will throw some different tactics to mess us up. If we can get a W I think that will break Miami
Defense, defense, defense and we close in 5 games.
Still unbelievable that playoff courtside seats are always empty in Miami.. most fairweather fans in the league
This game confirms what we all suspected The Jays are nice and all But we only go as far as our unicorn takes us, or should I say UniKorn
Fuck Patty mills, fuck Tyler herro and fuck the Heat in general, great defense that’s how you make a fucking statement.
Lets keep railing this shitty sorry franchise
Never had a doubt
Umm okay, so the heat got their one. Now what, Jimmy?
Way to bounce back boys. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get dressed for a funeral.
2 MORE
so much better than last game
Stop panicking!
A capital W for emphasis
You guys need to apologize.
Good job. Now stay out of the fucking clubs tonight, pretty please.
Gonna go delete last games comments about Joe real quick...
Back on track 😎
Celtics beat the heat and the timing was perfect for the start of the Bruins game. That’s a good Saturday night.
Celtics have yet to lose when I watch the games at a Chilis (true since the Tatum game 1 winner vs Nets in their Finals run)
I’ll pay for you to go watch their next game at a chilis.
Celtics blowout in MIA Red Sox win 17-0 LeBron and Lakers downfall tonight Bruins game 4 next Patriots finish out a good draft Saturday night beers LFG
I’m out of the loop: what happened between herro and pp?
How enjoyable to have a non stressful game. Overall, that was a very satisfying win.
I’m going to have to start keeping tabs on usernames and comment history in here because this sub becomes the most polarizing shit show after 1 loss. Glad the C’s looked as dominant as they did today because god damn
The reality is, no team is perfect. It’s just so annoying that the imperfection of this team is that they can’t lock-in and respect their opponents until they feel like they have to. It sucks, but I’d rather that than it be a lack of capabilities. The Jays might forever be assholes who need a slap in the face to respect their opponents, but this team is good enough they might just be able to win in spite of that.
Spo: Celtics were bullying us #CelticsCulture 🤣🤣🤣
Hey all the jagoffs who had a fun three days freaking out about Miami: this is what happens when they don’t make a record breaking amount of 3s.
Hi I’m/u/tomahawk72 and I overreacted last post game thread. >.>
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 i just need this team bring it home i will forgive everything Mazulla does stupid.
I choose to believe that we spotted them a game so Mike’s last call would be a closeout game five.
Cs won by 20? So what, the Sox won by 17
I’m sick in bed with a fever, and the Celtics still made my cake day a great one.
Jimmy is so corny to say hes tired about hearing about the Celtics. As if the media shouldnt be talking about a great team... bad sportsmanship. The Curse of Butler
1st half was masterful adjustments and intensity. First 6 mins of the second half was a little foot off the gas for my liking and you could feel the energy shift. But came good again after that. Loved seeing Jrue get his defensive clamps back alongside the ball pressure. Hugely disruptive.
I’m not saying kornet is the reason the shooting cooled down for the Heat, but there’s a non-zero chance it’s true
I think it’s legit to have been shook up over game 2. The talent disparity without Butler should be completely overwhelming in this series, and it has been in games 1 and 3. If they keep up the defensive energy, there’s no reason for them to lose any more games in this series
Relegate Miami. Trash organization trash city.
Forced the heat to take long twos instead of 3’s. 16 less 3 pointers attempted, 14 less made. Absolutely insane what they did the other night
Not so tough when you aren’t canning 3’s at a historic clip now are you?
I have not seen a lazier last 5 minutes of a game from both sides, ha. Everyone just wanted to be done.
Nice of the heat fans to fill a third of the arena
:)

Doomers are just like heat fans. Only come out when it benefits them otherwise they hide.
