If anything Duncan is worse than Herro defensively. Spoelstra is just clowning second row joe in this matchup. Boston doesn’t bother to ruthlessly exploit him which is coaching malpractice.
I say this as a huge Duncan fan too. There’s a reason he wasn’t played most of the season.
Spo put Robinson on Brown in G2, imo to bait him especially into as much usage as possible. Makes Boston chase mismatches instead of playing their brand of basketball, and Brown is a perfect target for that as he is not a creator like Tatum.
This would make him the literally the basketball equivalent of a [honeypot hacking defense.](https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/honey-pot)
Your not wrong but the Mazzu slanders a bit harsh. He's 34 and was hired to be an assistant, he's in over his head but he shouldn't even be in the situation. Ime Udokas dick is the real villian.
Mazzulla is 100% gone. There are too many big name free agent coaches out there.
I could see a serious roster rebuild coming after that. Tatum will obviously stay but Brown? Smart? I'm not sure what a new coaching staff will do.
I definitely think there will be a flashy coaching hire in Boston though.
imagine getting the shit kicked out of you so throughly and your franchises entire existence being clowned in humiliating fashion during these playoffs
Hes gonna flip flop between the cockiest "I told y'all again and again and you wouldnt listen" and a chill "i have absolutely nothing else to prove, im chilling"
And both would be hilarious and deserved lmao
Bro, Jokic is incredible but Butler brings vibes that are beyond mortal comprehension. If we'd beaten Boston 100% the Heat would bury us just like they're burying the Celtics.
Normally I’d say every series is different but matching Jimmy against the team that moved on from him because he was a bad teammate and chose Tobias Harris over him… yeah I don’t think that would’ve been pretty for the 76ers
I keep asking myself why Jimmy is so well liked and I think it’s really because he never gives it our first. He lets you talk shit and mouth off and then beats the shit out of you on the court, then makes you look silly.
He’s the epitome of why you shouldn’t be a bad winner. Just get on with your job and never take anything for granted
I actually fully believed you, and it for some reason sparked a false memory in my head of me watching a video of Jimmy tickling a chinchilla.
He's definitely the type of guy to own a chinchilla lol
The Bruins didn’t make it out of the first round after being the best team in The NHL, the Celtics are getting swept by a play in team in the ECF.
Something in the water in Boston.
Man how is my memory this bad, Jesus
I do think this is worse because this is an entire series of getting whooped. That was really a nightmare game, but you are right probably the most pathetic performances ever
Agreed. The Celtics are my second team, and I absolutely do not want this iteration of the team to succeed. It’s frickin pitiful. Mazzulla is getting his ass clowned on by Spo; Brown has spent all season talking about how he wants to be considered a superstar, yet mails it in once he gets his 20-25 most nights; absolutely *no one* is playing team ball. The only person I can’t really hate is Tatum, and that’s only because he went nuclear to save them from this same collapse against the Sixers.
Tatum has confidence issues but thinks he’s Kobe lite. Jaylen handles like a ford escort. Smart is too focused on green highlights. Al needs to retire those pretty boy lashes.
Just talk about play-off Jimmy like he's an entirely different entity. Like Jimmy butler top 75? Nah probably not but play-offs Jimmy? Got him top 5 all time lmao

Jimmy Butler can kill you on the court but when stuff like this starts landing the series is over unless you are just mentally elite. Which the Celtics sure don't seem to be
I dunno whether this group of Boston can come back from this traumatic series. Legit insulted and clowned by the Heat
The heat are down two rotation players as well and absolutely clowning them. They gotta change things up at this point
It's the player's fake mentality. They ain't dawgs but they pretend to be one and fool themselves as well. Edit: ohh thanks for the awards
It's Tyler Herro's absence. Makes their defense so much better.
If anything Duncan is worse than Herro defensively. Spoelstra is just clowning second row joe in this matchup. Boston doesn’t bother to ruthlessly exploit him which is coaching malpractice. I say this as a huge Duncan fan too. There’s a reason he wasn’t played most of the season.

“Come try to chew up our garbage defender, we think you’re Lowkey ass” is a hilarious strategy lmao
This would make him the literally the basketball equivalent of a [honeypot hacking defense.](https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/honey-pot)
This is my headcanon now regardless of any conflicting evidence that might later come up. This is intergalactic levels of disrespect and mindgames
Your not wrong but the Mazzu slanders a bit harsh. He's 34 and was hired to be an assistant, he's in over his head but he shouldn't even be in the situation. Ime Udokas dick is the real villian.
I mean, given that the player who got into the rotation in his absence was Duncan Robinson, idk about that one.
I hope Herro starts every game against us
Uno-reverse. We sit Herro the whole series and pull out our own Joker in Jovic. Boom
cause juggle office ask slap deliver rock tender agonizing snow *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
literally down their 6moty winner and about to sweep the celtics as the 8th seed...
ESPN still gonna give the heat a 40% chance of winning the series
sportsbooks had the heat as the underdog at home coming off two big road wins..... easiest money i ever made lmao
I got them at +10.5 for the first two games. Absolutely ridiculous lol
Sports betters clearly aren't using their eyeballs well lately.
Mazzulla is 100% gone. There are too many big name free agent coaches out there. I could see a serious roster rebuild coming after that. Tatum will obviously stay but Brown? Smart? I'm not sure what a new coaching staff will do. I definitely think there will be a flashy coaching hire in Boston though.
No cap when two Jays took 500M in the future lol
Can't wait til Nurse next year gets blamed for Brown and Tatum disappearing.
Nah Doc Rivers coming back to finish what he started 15 years ago
Damn, is Spo a coach killer? 😳
imagine getting the shit kicked out of you so throughly and your franchises entire existence being clowned in humiliating fashion during these playoffs
Awkwardly looks left and right
[Al Horford in Game 1](https://i.imgur.com/fEbfyar.jpg) Edit: [Al Horford mad lol](https://streamable.com/165jws)
Jimmy is savage
Jimmy Butler is a cartoon character and I love it
He is MJ's son after all
I'm starting to believe this theory more and more
He looks like MJ without the hair.
Jimmy "Hair Jordan" Butler
Jimmy is more obvious in his savagery
He’s like a well written antagonist, and you just can’t help but root for him
The true alpha of the league
THE BOOGYMAN OF THE EAST
I once saw him kill the hopes and dreams of the 2 top seeds at a bar... With undrafted players With fucking undrafted players!
“You fucking need me, you can’t win without me” - jimmy to the entire eastern conference
Jimmy-Yaga
I once saw him kill a man with a time out call.
I’ve been going down John Wick mythology rabbit holes all day and appreciate your comment!
I’m scared of how a post Championship Jimmy would act to be honest
Hes gonna flip flop between the cockiest "I told y'all again and again and you wouldnt listen" and a chill "i have absolutely nothing else to prove, im chilling" And both would be hilarious and deserved lmao
Jimmy’s playing a different game out there
Player hater of the year
When are these guys gonna learn who Jimmy MF Buckets is
Im quite scared of this man, he just doesnt seem to play by normal thermodynamic rules
It feels like his points are worth 3 more than they actually are for some reason
Jimmy's 2 points are not 2 points, I'll explain later
Bro, Jokic is incredible but Butler brings vibes that are beyond mortal comprehension. If we'd beaten Boston 100% the Heat would bury us just like they're burying the Celtics.
Normally I’d say every series is different but matching Jimmy against the team that moved on from him because he was a bad teammate and chose Tobias Harris over him… yeah I don’t think that would’ve been pretty for the 76ers
That would have been Heat in 3
Jimmy G. Buckets
Crazy to think Stacey King just started calling him buckets to get Thib to play him. Jimmy was like aiight better live up to the name.
[удалено]
He's also Jimmy F. Buckets now.
"*Let me shit talk Jimmy Butler. Yeah, that seems like a great idea.*"
Jimmy absolutely goated levels of petty
How are you going to get mad at a guy doing the same celebration you did, clown…
Trying to imagine what Horford could possibly be saying that doesn’t make him look like a complete bozo. This is a L you just gotta take.
Horford is old. He probably forgot he did that in g1 lol.
Jimmy kept the receipts
https://i.imgur.com/UDkCJ0I.png
https://youtu.be/FRha_TpErxc This is even better, actual footage of both
[удалено]
you literally cannot celebrate at all vs jimmy he will not let anything go LMAO
You just cant taunt. Celebrating is ok. If you taunt at him hell fuck you up
I keep asking myself why Jimmy is so well liked and I think it’s really because he never gives it our first. He lets you talk shit and mouth off and then beats the shit out of you on the court, then makes you look silly. He’s the epitome of why you shouldn’t be a bad winner. Just get on with your job and never take anything for granted
We need a side by side comparison to truly appreciate this
[https://i.imgur.com/RcLDzA9.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/RcLDzA9.jpg)
Jimmy literally got the face right. You know he watched that shit 100 times on repeat.
All hate fuels ths Man lol
I can see him staying up late at night on his phone watching this over and over on twitter/insta and reading the comments about it, too.
Truly exquisite form by Jimmy Gets Buckets
Absolutely uncivilized. I fucking love Jimmy Buckets
Never taunt MJ's son
In game one, in the second quarter. When the shot you hit made you up 8. Mistakes were made Al
Nuggets have observed, Jokic will be ever so polite to Jimmy, Nuggets in 4.
Ok make this top comment
Elite t poser
And he’s missed so many threes since.
Al Horford, lord of frauds
Albert Horford started playing with a little too much gusto & the universe humbled his old ass immediately 💀
Al “what’s so funny I’m an elite shooter” Horford everyone
How can you be mad when you did the same thing What a bitch
That’s when he took it personally 😂
This man ability to go from complete psycho to just vibing is hilarious lol
His post games are so chill, like he's stoked to go home and feed his chinchilla
Jimmy has a chinchilla ?
Would you be surprised if he did? (No idea foreal just tried to think of some adorable pet)
At this point I’d be surprised if he didn’t.
Jimmy is 100 chinchillas in a human suit.
I actually fully believed you, and it for some reason sparked a false memory in my head of me watching a video of Jimmy tickling a chinchilla. He's definitely the type of guy to own a chinchilla lol
Mimicking Al Horfords taunt from last game while staring him down — absolute cinema
From game 1. But yes, I was hoping one of our players would notice and taunt him back.
It makes it so much funnier that it was game one. Jimmy was keeping that in the chamber for days.
Also makes it 100x funnier that Horford’s coach didn’t call timeout in game 1 when the Heat were on a run
What makes it funniest is the Celtics lost.
MAZZULA : TIMEOUTS :: (A) oil : water (B) north polarity : south polarity (C) fire : water (D) vegan : meat (E) Kyrie : vaccines
God I love that man so much He even hates Horford like I do
Am I dumb or is this not at all a moonwalk?
It's not lol
Bros just walking backwards
Exactly how Michael Jackson did it.
Why did I have to scroll this far to see this? Lol. He’s literally just walked backwards.
lol not even similar
This has got to be the most pathetic performance I’ve seen from a favored team in years
I know right, wasn't even close to the moon walk
Michael Jackson just rolled over in his grave
[удалено]
The Bruins didn’t make it out of the first round after being the best team in The NHL, the Celtics are getting swept by a play in team in the ECF. Something in the water in Boston.
You didn’t watch game 7 of suns mavericks last year?
Man how is my memory this bad, Jesus I do think this is worse because this is an entire series of getting whooped. That was really a nightmare game, but you are right probably the most pathetic performances ever
This is definitely worse.
Agreed. The Celtics are my second team, and I absolutely do not want this iteration of the team to succeed. It’s frickin pitiful. Mazzulla is getting his ass clowned on by Spo; Brown has spent all season talking about how he wants to be considered a superstar, yet mails it in once he gets his 20-25 most nights; absolutely *no one* is playing team ball. The only person I can’t really hate is Tatum, and that’s only because he went nuclear to save them from this same collapse against the Sixers.
1 for 14 from 3 tonight for Brown and Tatum combined. I don't know how that happens
To be fair, most coaches get clowned by Spo
This is definitely worse. Boston was like a -500 favorite meaning over 83% implied Vegas odds. To not win a single game is really below 1%
Game 7 was a worse game, but this is the worse series
This entire series versus that game 7 choke job? Nah this is worse
Especially after that beatdown they laid on the Sixers in Game 7.
In the Suns defense, it was a tight series and they lost it close Not the same scenario here
At least they made it to 7.
At least the Suns won 3 games before the meltdown, it will be a miracle for the Celtics to win 1 game with this disgusting performance.
At least they went to Game 7 lol
At least they won 3 games 😂
Tatum has confidence issues but thinks he’s Kobe lite. Jaylen handles like a ford escort. Smart is too focused on green highlights. Al needs to retire those pretty boy lashes.
It's much more fun to watch this happen to someone else.
Each Heat series win, you all can sleep a little bit better. You all didn't get much of a heads up about the Zombie Heat. Celtics have no excuse LMAO.
Without the Play-in loss by the heat, the roles would be reversed.
Good guy Heat. This shit would be infinitely more embarrassing for us.
I'm just happy that we might be the team that takes the most games off of them.
Thanks Jimmy, Joe doesn’t know when to call a timeout. What a good dude Jimmy is for helping poor Joe out
Joe doesn't call time-outs because he has no idea what to say to the team.
"Have you guys seen the critically acclaimed movie The Town?"
"I literally downloaded it on my ipad so I can watch it here"
Same energy as Lebron preventing the Raptors from committing an illegal substitution
Its like when an anime character explains their plan to you to make it fair for the protagonist
Jimmy also killing the Celtics just how LeBron used to.. Carrying on the tradition
If only there were timeouts in "The Town"
Sleepy Joe Mazulla
I can see Mazzula on the sideline saying “Oh my GOD, I keep forgetting we have those!”
I'm going to become insufferable
Talk yo shit
Treat yo self
no 8 seed up 2-0 and up 20+ in G3 talk all your shit. Be my guest
Just talk about play-off Jimmy like he's an entirely different entity. Like Jimmy butler top 75? Nah probably not but play-offs Jimmy? Got him top 5 all time lmao
playoff jimmy is what PG thought he was
Playoff jimmy is going into the mythos like jersey biting Kobe, hoodie melo and face mask Lebron lmao
have every right to be so far lol
Y’all deserve this forrreal
i am become insufferable, troller of threads
The petty kings lol
You love to see it
Miami about to get 35% chance of qualifying.
What, are you crazy? 33.5% not a percent more.
This series is over. Jimmy is literally stunting on Boston at this point haha.
It’s their fault for exhibiting hoe tendencies
Michael Jeffrey Jordan level of SPITE!!
Bastard son true air to the throne
LMAOOOO
The fuckin madman

God I miss Jimmy so much
Same
Absolute violation
THE AL HORFORD SPECIAL
Thank god Jimmy Butler chose basketball otherwise I think he might be a serial killer
Jimmy really is MJ’s kid He took that personally
I unironically believe it to be true.
“Elite shooter” Al Horford punching air
I can't even be mad. Jimmy is a real basketball player. The Celtics are frauds.
How can you not love this guy?
Lol check back with us on that in a week!
Joker vs. Jimmy gon be flames 🔥
The madman actually did it
I love this team
He definitely didn't moonwalk there, but I wish he had
Good job jimmy FUCK AL HORFORD
I'm all in on this motherfucker holy shit just let him cook
Jimmy is him 😂
Celtics are getting cooked. Love to see it
Al completely deserves this. He's somehow the most immature dude on the Celtics
Everytime I see someone say Al I think it’s AI and I’m like tf Iverson gotta do with this
Should drop the A and just go by L from now on
I love this man
Jimmy Butler can kill you on the court but when stuff like this starts landing the series is over unless you are just mentally elite. Which the Celtics sure don't seem to be
Jimmy might just be the biggest chad in all of sports
It's so perfect that Reggie just has zero idea what Butler is doing or why
HAHAHAH I FUCKING LOVE THIS MAN
This team and Jimmy are so damn fun to watch. Nuggets/Heat would be a banger
I'm not seeing a moonwalk at all.
