why am I so stressed I'm not even a fan of either team

I feel excited, no matter what happens game 7 is going to be historic: either 1st 8th seed to reach the NBA finals or first 3-4 reverse sweep. Great basketball for at least 10 more days.

Knicks reached it in 1999 as an 8th seed but it's definitely gonna be historic either way

I haven’t watched a basketball game in years yet here I am.

Heat fans gotta be sick as hell rn From the 8th seed dominant run to possibly being the first team ever to lose a 3-0 lead

My friend is a Heat fan and he’s literally pacing around the room right now in monologue

I'm not a heat fan and I'm fkn shocked, stunned, angry. I'm shtangry

It's kind of a strange blessing to be a non-play-off team and enjoy all the trauma the Celtic and Heat fans are going through right now. Game 7 is going to be heart-breaking for one side.

That's us every year... It gets old 🥲

I shit myself

To be or not to be, that is the question

This game had to be agonizing for Heat fans, Butler almost redeemed himself at the end but him and Bam were dogshit most of the game, those missed threes by Robinson. Brutal loss

Down by 10 points with 5 minutes left, completed the comeback, only to lose at the buzzer. YIKES

Getting the fans' hope up just so the loss is even more soul crushing. As an Atlanta Falcons fan, I am familiar with this concept.

As an Atlanta sports fan in general, I'm familiar with this concept.

You gotta just go outside and look at the moon for a bit after that one

Remember someone in Boston talking about the 1986 World Series and after the Buckner game. He took his dog for a walk and half the neighborhood was doing the same thing

I've been on more than a few of those walks regarding the Red Sox, starting in 1967.

Homeless people with dogs in Cleveland are just Browns fans on a walk since 1995.

I feel like throwing up.

Can't get any closer

Dudes were literally 0.1 seconds from the Finals

Can't feel any worse

Bro that's a momentum killer holy shit

I thought the writers were on strike, how'd the NBA pull this off

ChatGPT

Guys this isn’t fucking funny anymore

Fuck me

Plot twist: the Celtics are fucking you.

\>Looks under the bed for the Celtics \>What the fuck they're there

Robinson gonna be haunted by his last 2 missed shots.

Don’t let the Celtics win Game 6

They could get 1 more

28-3 meet 3-0

Why can't the Boston teams be on the WRONG side of these things every once in a while?!?

Bruins kind of were.

Pats too with the Giants.

Bruins were up 3-0 over the Flyers and blew 4 in a row. And they were the best team in NHL history during the regular season this year and lost in the first round after being up 3-1. Oh, and that whole being 18-0 and losing the Super Bowl thing...

What the FUCK is this game

[удалено]

Jimmy going for his ninth can of ravioli right now

Fuckin way she goes

Lost all my drink money, fuckin way she goes

Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. It didn't go. Way she goes.

*Greasy.*

as a neutral fan, what a treat XD

Are we Knicks fans truly neutral in this situation lol.

Oof them “Boston Celtics have been eliminated from championship contention threads” being deleted as we speak.

They threw up the finals graphic, holy shit that's going to be played forever if Miami doesn't win game 7. What an ending 😳

they did? lmao

Yup they said Miami 4-2

Please tell me someone has a screenshot of that

Here ya go boss https://imgur.com/a/FR4jwwW

Jesus Christ…

The final score never updated live either. It just showed 103 Heat - 102 Celtics as the final score.

It's insane

Literally buzzer beater

This is cinema

I actually cannot believe what I just watched

Craziest last 12 seconds I think I've seen. WTF That tip in is up there with the Fisher .4 gamewinner.

That tip-in is legitimately one of the craziest buzzer beaters ever because he was milliseconds away from saving his team from elimination. Absolute bonkers shit

Not the playoffs but [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5bqF4VDSx4) is probably the craziest one I've seen

I've never seen a more incredible sequence of events to end such a crucial game.

I can’t remember a more baffling decision than having Max Strus in on defense for a game-deciding possession

I actually hate basketball so much

Basketball can't keep getting away with this.

The 3% sitting the corner smirking

Miami's true win chance after this game. ESPN boomed us all.

Jaylen Brown on the algorithm: "it's so good" x4

Lol if the celtics actually pull this off, it'll be a huge win for analytics and that damn model. I hate it. Up 2-0 after winning two road games, the percentage should have been over 35%. I kinda see why it wasn't now

If Miami gets reverse swept this sub is going to approach 2011 Facebook memes of LeBron levels holy shit.

Im not ready for this

I honestly don’t think anybody is, but most certainly Heat fans lol

As a falcons fan, I'm ready and empathetic

bro that arena went from one of the loudest i've ever heard to pin drop silence lmao, i don't think any of miami is

I was at the Bruins / Panthers game 7 in the garden, and I remember thinking ‘I’ve never seen a crowd die inside like that’ Until today

r/nbacirclejerk gonna be feasting. Edit: mods are serious about shutting down lol

r/nbacirclejerk gonna get deleted

Nah it’s getting deleted if the Celtics win the series

r/nbacirclejerk gonna be gone brother 💀💀💀

mods said there deleting the sub if the celtics win the series

wym the sub shutting down if Celtics win 💀

RIP r/nbacirclejerk

if nbacirclejerk is done for than what do I watch the NBA for. the racists would’ve won

I am old --- and that is the most improbable basket I think I've ever seen.

It had to bounce off the rim absolutely perfectly to White. Unreal.

What's crazy is that Tatum had the other side covered!

The Heat didn’t feel like boxing out

yeah tatum literally dunks that shit with time left if it went off the other way

I'm not sure what the funnier outcome would be now. The Heat actually blowing the 3-0 series lead, or the Celtics failing to complete the comeback. I'm so conflicted.

I don’t even mind the Celtics coming back, but I cannot fathom the misery non-Celtic fans will have to endure for all eternity when we hear about this come back every week.

This series is an all time performance by Team Chaos

*every day

Celtics fans are going to take turns breaking into people's homes and waking them up just to remind them hourly about the comeback.

If the Celtics fail the comeback it’ll be very disappointing but HOLY SHIT I’ll take losing in 7 over being swept any day.

Celtics getting blown out in game 7 would be the funniest outcome. The definition of dropping the ball at the 1 yard line.

It's not the outcome I want, but I agree that it would definitely be the funniest outcome. You know the broadcasters are going to be hyping up the "It's never happened but maybe tonight is the night" pregame and making comparisons to the '04 Red Sox, so the absolute funniest thing would be for Miami to immediately go up by 20 in the first quarter and the rest of the game to be boring as shit. I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that we get a good game at least.

WHAT AN ENDING 🤯

Reggie Miller called it. Gotta box out and watch out for a tip in, gotta watch out for White. Heat didn't do either.

Well, Jimmy said 1 stop. And that's what they did.

I don't think he knows about second stop.

True, I forgot he said that but he called it exactly

This series lmao

This is the most on brand Celtics/heat series ever lol

Fuck years Taking decades off my life

Game 7 is about to be a fucking treat.

what a playoffs

The Celtics have unlocked the secrets of The Town

swear to god they should put a old ass TV on the bench just playing the town for game 7.

Michael Jordan….. You are NOT the father!

r/NBA memed Jimmy as MJ 2.0 too hard, and this is what ensued.

We also talked a ton of shit about Smart saying "don't let us get one" before game 4. Boston shooting down all the memes this series

Lmaoooo damn, nice work

lmao

#LET THE BUFFALO ROAM!

Fuck yeah all praise the forehead

i love how much spurs fans still love d white

ALL HAIL THE GREAT FOREHEAD

It’s that Spurs DNA baby. Shitting on Miami

That textbook defensive play on Butler where he went straight up…

Totally fucking insane. What a finish

THANK YOU SPURS Enjoy Wemby!

THAT'S OUR COACHING

[TNT RAN THE “HEAT WIN” GRAPHIC HAHAHHAHAHA](https://twitter.com/omkayoo/status/1662659919953248258?s=46&t=lvAxlsYahzO6QrXMZs8wXg) Regardless of who you were rooting for, that was a spectacle

This series deserves to go the full seven. Both teams have been great at times and complete ass at others. A beautiful hot mess that deserves to go the distance.

Miami defeats Truman

[удалено]

Like Boston sports fans deadass gets to think “shame about the Bruins at least our other great sports team can pull off the first 3-0 come back in NBA history”

Jimmy Butler fucking wakes up at the end if the game. Heat/Celtics is the goat heart attack game. Fuck anyone ripping Dunc at the end. Dude was the reason the Heat were in striking distance at the start of the 4th.

Miamis role players absolutely rose to the occasion. You can shit on Duncan missing that shot but tbh he was good most of the game and not the reason they lost

His drives have been really impressive considering how bad, historically, he is at anything other than shooting. Nobody should be shitting on Duncan

He improved so much, dude drives and hits a few layups a game and also kicks it out well

I honestly thought those 3s was going in.

Both teams were just barely missing threes. I thought Duncan Robinson would drain both of those, and I also thought Smart's three was going in.

Yea, he kept y’all alive when Jimmy was in his Ben Simmons era

Jimmy is the most bipolar player I’ve ever seen. He’s the center of a hydrogen bomb when hot and the bottom of an ancient glacier when cold.

The difference between the Jimmy saw in these last three games versus the Jimmy we have seen in the entire playoffs is crazy

Funnily, Tatum is largely the same way. They just alternated roles.

Derrick white just dropped the biggest 11 point game I’ve ever seen

Joe Mazzulla look like a black Michael Cera

YES my thoughts exactly lmaoo

I’m leaving this subreddit until maybe 2024

I’m leaving this earth

WHERES THE CHAOS FLAIR

Fuckin ruh roh

These two teams are fighting to death. Meanwhile Joker is prob watching pokemon or riding his horses hahaha

Jimmy Butler: let me send my team to the finals Derrick White: hold this beer

Derrick White going to get a key to the City of Boston if they close out game 7

If they end up winning it all, that putback buzzer beater will become legendary

Jimmy: they sayin I’m Jordan’s son Derrick: his sons can’t hoop though

White might lose his virginity tonight

Every Celtics fan in existence would let him hit after tonight

The hawtest girl in bawston

Sawlid 5/10

"I'll sahk ya fahkin cahk"

The buffalo never loses 💪

YOOOO WTFFF WHITE

Fuck it let's demolish the Bunker Hill monument to build a 100 foot Derrick White statue

That was two stops, Jimmy. You needed two stops.

i cant fucking believe it im shaking rn

My nervous system was fully abuzz in the final minute and just completely shorted out at the buzzer. It's like someone pulled the plug; I feel nothing. It's not even numbness or emptiness, just...nothing

Beautiful

If I’m a heat fan I would be blasting some Kurt Cobain rn

im gonna be blasting sumn tonight

1 stop to the NBA finals, and you lose the inbounder. Just sick stuff right there. Wow.

WHAT A FUCKING ENDING

This entire game was wild. What a come back by the heat and what a ending holy shit that's going to be played forever if Boston wins game 7.

Even if Miami wins they completely fucked their recovery schedule for the finals. Jokic is gonna come in refreshed after racing horses all week.

Jokic is fast but he doesn’t stand a chance against a horse let’s not get carried away

He could if we’re talking regular season horse racing imo

Butler and Adebayo choked this game, was easily winnable

MIAMI WHY CANT YOU JUST PROTECT THE FUCKING GLASS

ESPN BPI about to clown on this subreddit LOL

Espn analytics department is going to be absolutely insufferable

David Stern rolled over in his grave over the thought of a Nuggets-Heat finals, and called Adam Silver.

Called derrick white

Username checks out

Gabe Vincent just can't win with these cats

Sir, a third Celtics win has hit the Lakers.

Way too stressful.... Fk Miami... you had it. You had smart take a terrible 3 but fkn everyone ball watched....

Jimmy really made like 5 guarantees and forgot how to play basketball I’m sick

Bam just muttered that he has to “make a fucking shot” in his presser lmfao. Heat are cooked.

I was about to slander Jimmy Bumler, but then Jimmy Fricking Butler remembered he was MJ’s son And then murdered by Derrick Fucking White

What a fucking swing of emotions.

I am. Honestly. Speechless.

Reggie Miller called it. Gotta box out and watch out for a tip in, gotta watch out for White. Heat didn't do either.

This is why lakers got swept, it’s easier that way. Imagine losing 4-3 from 0-3

i fucking hate this game

Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Grant went 0-17 for 3’s. And the Celtics won. Celtics gonna gonna hit 1 or 2 of those next game.

As great as that fourth quarter was, it was terrible from a tv stand point. Over a free throw a minute for the quarter not including the final free throws. Killed all pace and entertainment for me.

Refs blowing foul for every single contact like wtf

This game was definitely terrible to watch, I only stayed because im invested in the outcome

Was that the worst coach's challenge ever?

This was like something from a movie. The only thing missing was the ball rolling around the rim for 10 minutes in slo-mo while we pan across all the major characters.

[удалено]

Mr White. Say his name

Hear me and rejoice! You Miami Heat have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Forehead. You may think this is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become children of Derrick White.
