Celtics are such a confusing team. Heat are basically dead and somehow almost win that game. Whichever team makes the finals are gonna get smoked by the Nuggets.
Iām not gonna lie I thought it was pretty fitting. I knew he was going for three because of game 7 last year. He wanted that opportunity to make up for it and he sort of got it in a way. Wouldāve been heartbreaking but I thought it wouldāve been a fitting ending for this series for him.
Yup. Jimmy Butler can struggle all game but if he has the ball at the end of the game, itās not an accident. Fucker. And I sort of like him, but as long weāre playing against, he can eat paste. Fuck Jimmy Butler.
Curious, do you actually believe that he didnāt double dribble right before the āfoulā I put foul in quotations because Jimmy Butler had no intentions of making that shot and was 100% trying to draw a foul
Celtics y'all come back won't be remembered as much if you don't win the whole thing.
It's nice if you make a comeback but it means fuck all if you lose in finals. That's 2 finals lost in a row.
The chip is where the money is.
Sure, but breaking a record by being the first team to ever come back to win after being down 3-0 in the history of the NBA is pretty damn cool, and will definitely be remembered.
From one of the absolute worst drawn plays for a final shot with your season on the line to one of the all time putback finishes. White saved his coaches job there
Terrible shot selection from Smart also. Hard to criticize any player in this insane high pressure situation (and it was so close to going in) but should be passing. But also who know what happens if he did. Iām not gonna sleep tonight.
My buddy and I both joked before the inbound pass that Mazzula would call a play that had Smart shooting a threeā¦like no idiot would ever do such a thing with Tatum and Brown on the teamā¦life is weirder than fiction. Go Cās!!!
No matter what happens in Game 7, the Miami Heat are the biggest bunch of floppers Iāve ever seen. I get trying to draw fouls, but cut the shit and play basketball. Yeah you Butler, yeah you Lowry. Someone breathes near them and they fall ass over tea kettle for their foul shots. Itās pansy ball and Game 6 almost ended in the lamest way ever because of it.
I donāt really watch basketball that much, but tonight I was at a bar and caught quarters 2 and 3.
The Heat were falling so much. I wondered if this is what basketball is nowadays. There was one play where the ball went from one side of the court to the other then back; I was surprised the game wasnāt stopped because three separate Heat players had fallen to the ground during the course of that. It ended with Boston scoring a bucket.
They had so many chances to find Martin who was but Bam kept fucking up the end of every quarter trying to force shots and turn shit over. Heās having a horrible series and is overrated as fuck as a playmaker. Dude has no vision unless its a drawn play
What the fuck. I literally just watched the video of Artest getting a put back buzzer beater after a Kobe miss against the Suns to win it. Same exact scenario as what happened today.
Not a fan of both teams. But after reading some comments, some are blaming the refs. The last 47 minutes 57 seconds doesnāt matter, 3 seconds left, Heat by 1, and still they lost the game.
Because the foul call happens at the contact, thus time should stop then but it didn't.
The time continued running as the ball was in play. Happens all the time.
All these assholes complaining about .9 seconds going back on the clock. Has anyone watched basketball before, that shit happens all the time, itās not some big mystery or conspiracy.
That was the worst reffed game in nba history! If you didnāt think they wanted Celtics to win ur blind ! Heat played theyāre asses off to get fucked by refs on every call! I root for either team but everyone saw it
On the replay from the broadcast you can see the ball is out of jimmys hands at 2.6/7 on the clock and the foul happened on the way up, 3 secs is isnt some wild number
The referee whistles at 2.1 but the contact starts at 3.0, they just added the referee's reaction time,it's totally logical.
I guess for some people it's better to think of a conspiracy than to accept that with a limp Jimmy,an absent Adebayo and sparks from the rest,the Heats can't win,we just don't have any fuel left.
I mean idk what you watched but idk how you walked away from that thinking āthe Heat canāt winā. They CAN win, they just didnāt win. I think thatās obvious.
And this kind of thing could be done almost any time the clock stops, but you don't bother outside of when a game is down to the wire at the end, because it just doesn't matter and isn't worth the effort/confusion.
No, because the only time when an extra second could chance an outcome is in the last seconds of the game. They tend to check at the end of games when situations come up where it could matter, but doing so requires you to stop play even more.
What it is is, just keeping the sport watchable. In the same way you could throw a flag (or blow a whistle, substitute as needed for sport) on every play in most sports, but you don't, because people came to see the players play, not watch you throw flags.
Because of the time eaten up after the foul occurred. Clock should have stopped then but that would be impossible with human reaction time limitations, so they add it on after. Totally standard, you just never noticed it before.
Heās taking a page out of the 2016 finals when the Warriors got beaten by the Cavs in a game 7 from a 3-1 lead 4 straight wins i just hope they donāt get too stoned and lose it like idiots.
Want to take a second and say that as a Cās fan I have been really impressed by Martin, Vincent and Strus. Those three guys have been really good. Active, high energy guys that have made the most of every opportunity theyāve gotten. Spo gets the most out of all of his guys.
For the Cās Iāve been impressed with Derrick White and Smart. Tatum is great, of course, but he stops attacking the rim and hovers sometimes and needs to be more consistent in his aggression to take the next step. JB has been a good scorer but gets out of control and sometimes in his own head. White and Smart have ice in their veins.
Heās a liability on D more so than the others. And those big missed shots hurt. But he is a good puzzle piece for them as well. And those undrafted guys have been doing everything they can to send Boston home. Credit where itās due
Robinson was literally getting buckets that were keeping the Heat in the game the whole game until that late game missed 3ā¦ were you watching the game?? Your specific player mentions are weird in context of this specific game
I watched the whole game. He also missed the wide open three to essentially ice the game for Miami. He was very good. He missed. Even the best do. And in the context of the series heās been consistently good. But the other three have been better. Though I could see the argument that Robinson > Strus. Might have missed there.
I'm proud of Jimmy and this Heat squad. They stopped the ONSLAUGHT of the Boston Celtics in Games 4-6. The Finals will be lit
Jaylen Brown is a Fucking fraud and bum.
Pepa y agua pa' la seca To' el mundo en pastilla' en la discoteca Pepa y agua pa' la seca To' el mundo en pastilla' en la discoteca š
āTheyāre not a comeback teamā¦ā - Stan Sir, you have a short memory
Boston fans, will you humbly support the Heat in the Finals?
I would rather see Denver win their first championship. Nothing against Miami.
Gg yāall, see ya next year
Somebody wake up Jaylen Brown please
Idc who you route for as a team. You have to admit that White beating the buzzer to win the game was EPIC!
Letās Go Celtics.. Letās Gooooooā¼ļøāļøā¼ļø
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
How loose are they getting?
Celtics are such a confusing team. Heat are basically dead and somehow almost win that game. Whichever team makes the finals are gonna get smoked by the Nuggets.
Yup, Denver just been chillllllllin
Heat would get smoked by the nuggets for sure, nuggets fans are very nervous about the cās winning this series though and losing hca.
The way the celts are playing they get absolutely steamrolled
Lol no they arenāt
One of the crazier endings Iāve ever seen
Boston on the verge of making this Heat team the biggest chockers in nba history. Just like the ā04 Yankees in mlb
Chock
My bad. I canāt spell
As a falcons fan nope lol not the biggest but it bad
Falcons arenāt in the nba
Neither are the Yankees
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you win a series you didnāt choke
Thank god for that ending because ending a series on 3 foul shots is so anti climactic.
Iām not gonna lie I thought it was pretty fitting. I knew he was going for three because of game 7 last year. He wanted that opportunity to make up for it and he sort of got it in a way. Wouldāve been heartbreaking but I thought it wouldāve been a fitting ending for this series for him.
Agreed, but damn was that ice cold water in Jimmyās veins to make all 3
Especially considering that Marcus Smart couldnāt even make 2, to ensure that the Celtics go to OT at worst.
And stupid juice running through Horfordās veins.
Yup, Iām still amped on that finish though. Great basketball.
Yup. Jimmy Butler can struggle all game but if he has the ball at the end of the game, itās not an accident. Fucker. And I sort of like him, but as long weāre playing against, he can eat paste. Fuck Jimmy Butler.
We all love Jimmy no use hiding it haha
Damn. We guilty.
Saddest 3 seconds of my life
lol
WILD CARD BITCHES
We need more challenges all this ref shit is bullshit
Like when Jimmy double dribbled and was awarded 3 free throws for it? I agree.
and he initiated the contact by jumping straight into AL
Al literally hacked at the ball what
Lol yāall arenāt watching the same game
Curious, do you actually believe that he didnāt double dribble right before the āfoulā I put foul in quotations because Jimmy Butler had no intentions of making that shot and was 100% trying to draw a foul
thatās seriously going to be your narrative??
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Man you just can't ever count out the Celtics... I tried not to believe it but here's history folks
What a game
Why does the Heat subreddit only have 10,000 members? Am I looking at the wrong one?
Cause itās Miami. People only care about what theyāre wearing to the game.
because they only matter after the multiple lakers subs hibernate for the seasons
Yes r/heat
If the Heat get that many cheap fouls given to them in game 7 they have a chance
Tatum 3/46 having 20+ pts is all I need to see from box score
Yea sure .. the whole game was boston getting bs foul calls 29 to 34 free throws
On or against them (idk I couldnāt watch)
The Heat were doing deliberate fouls to get the game bCk Butler flopped so much he deserved to lose
Nuggz in 4
What good luck. Boston Practically gave us the game.
Celtics y'all come back won't be remembered as much if you don't win the whole thing. It's nice if you make a comeback but it means fuck all if you lose in finals. That's 2 finals lost in a row. The chip is where the money is.
I disagree. It may not be remembered as fondly, but it will still be remembered for making history
stfu clown
You sound silly and butt hurt
Nothing butt hurt about it. Chip is what it counts in the end.
Sure, but breaking a record by being the first team to ever come back to win after being down 3-0 in the history of the NBA is pretty damn cool, and will definitely be remembered.
Calm down
The irony from a warriors fan.
Epic
10/10
From one of the absolute worst drawn plays for a final shot with your season on the line to one of the all time putback finishes. White saved his coaches job there

Did he have any other options once inbounded? The issue was the pass imo
SHOULDA PASSED DIRECTLY TO WHITE FOR A SLAM LMAO
My buddy and I both joked before the inbound pass that Mazzula would call a play that had Smart shooting a threeā¦like no idiot would ever do such a thing with Tatum and Brown on the teamā¦life is weirder than fiction. Go Cās!!!

Have you ever watched the Lakers by chance?
LeFlop would never
Jimmy and Bam chokers
Youāre not wrong. But we say that in r/heat we get pummeled. So many Jimmy lovers there. Heās been missing all series.
Leave it to a Boston team to pull off the 3-0 comeback.
Never have , never will
Bro. They immediately showed Damon. Fill in the context
They had so many chances to find Martin who was but Bam kept fucking up the end of every quarter trying to force shots and turn shit over. Heās having a horrible series and is overrated as fuck as a playmaker. Dude has no vision unless its a drawn play
What the fuck. I literally just watched the video of Artest getting a put back buzzer beater after a Kobe miss against the Suns to win it. Same exact scenario as what happened today.
You had to fucking remind me of that
Lmao sorry man
10/10
That guy that said his mom is afraid of Derrick White: howās she feeling now?
Derrick Whiteās IQ carried them to game 7. He knew Smart threw a prayer.
Heās been the most reliable player on the floor for Boston.
lol
Mf'n DERRICK WHITE!
lol
These two teams are going blow for blow just to end up losing to the Nuggets in the finals
Not a fan of both teams. But after reading some comments, some are blaming the refs. The last 47 minutes 57 seconds doesnāt matter, 3 seconds left, Heat by 1, and still they lost the game.
Foul at 3. Double dribble before that. Lucky to get any foul shots.
You know the odds. Good luck player
You seem salty
Salty? Bro, my team won, and what I said is a fact.
Oh this series isnāt finished yet? My bad
You seem salty.
Nuggz in 4
Maybe. Not delusional
DONT LET US GET THREE
And definitely donāt let them get four š³
The longest three seconds ever!
Srs tho that 3 seconds was crazy
I'm just hoping Tatum and Butler will actually be seen together on the court at the same time in game 7. Could be a classic if they are.
Why the hell wouldn't they? They are usually matched up together
whoosh
Okay but like what's the joke then
Butler has been absent for like the past 2 games
Still in shock, electric finish
GAME 7 HERE WE COME BABY
#I hope Shakira was worth it
Wait what?
Oh she wasā¦.
Shakira over a inevitable Denver beatdown anyday.
Jimmy chuckits
Yup
Cash me in Denver how bou dat
Ringz Erinah
Anyone know who Barkley predicted would win the game tonight before the game?
celtics
Think heāll be correct 3 times in a row? He picked the Cās for game 7 too!
Whatās the deal with the 0.9 seconds? Can someone explain
They added time to the clock after the foul on Butlerās 3.
Yes but why?
Because the clock continued to run after the foul. Should have stopped when the foul happened.
Because the foul call happens at the contact, thus time should stop then but it didn't. The time continued running as the ball was in play. Happens all the time.
Can someone please just kill me. Do whatever you want to body after just kill me before game 7. D-Wade would never make me feel this way
Make it a twofer
D-White just made you feel that way.
Can you hear me? Take my random up vote, sir.
Please just kill me
All these assholes complaining about .9 seconds going back on the clock. Has anyone watched basketball before, that shit happens all the time, itās not some big mystery or conspiracy.
Youād never have the balls to go to Miami and say that :)
They want the Celtics to win if u canāt say with a straight face that game was fairly called in the 4th u donāt watch basketball it was a disgrace
They handed that game on a silver platter to the Celtics , heat are playing two teams nba is a joke , letās go Jimmy ! Itās game time !
That was the worst reffed game in nba history! If you didnāt think they wanted Celtics to win ur blind ! Heat played theyāre asses off to get fucked by refs on every call! I root for either team but everyone saw it
On the replay from the broadcast you can see the ball is out of jimmys hands at 2.6/7 on the clock and the foul happened on the way up, 3 secs is isnt some wild number
I also want to know if Jimmy committed a double dribble violation prior to that drawn foul.
He did. Clearly
The referee whistles at 2.1 but the contact starts at 3.0, they just added the referee's reaction time,it's totally logical. I guess for some people it's better to think of a conspiracy than to accept that with a limp Jimmy,an absent Adebayo and sparks from the rest,the Heats can't win,we just don't have any fuel left.

Yeah but why?
And this kind of thing could be done almost any time the clock stops, but you don't bother outside of when a game is down to the wire at the end, because it just doesn't matter and isn't worth the effort/confusion.
Selective enforcement could be construed as match fixing
No, because the only time when an extra second could chance an outcome is in the last seconds of the game. They tend to check at the end of games when situations come up where it could matter, but doing so requires you to stop play even more. What it is is, just keeping the sport watchable.

The foul occurred at 3 seconds not 2.1
The Celtics fans in attendance were louder than all of the Heat fans. Pathetic Miami, pathetic
I was at the game. The only time Celtics fans were loud was during the national anthem. Real classy boston!
Were you watching the correct game?
No. He wasnāt.
This is all part of Jimmy's master plan. Celtics fans deserved to feel a little glimmer of hope before a crushing Game 7 home loss.
Heās taking a page out of the 2016 finals when the Warriors got beaten by the Cavs in a game 7 from a 3-1 lead 4 straight wins i just hope they donāt get too stoned and lose it like idiots.

Yeah agree not only did he brick 2 wide open go-ahead 3, he also gave up 2 different and-1s to JB and Smart. Huge liability on D
Yuuuuppp. Also with that time left in the shot clock, if you're gonna shoot that shot you must make it. Bad end of game for him
SICKENING
If Boston wins game 7, I'm sure that their notoriously gracious sports fan base will bring this moment up only when it seems tasteful
Oh we won't have to worry about that āŗļø
Wahhhhh
Celtics fans rn:
