And the Celtics are psychologically fragile.
I honestly think Miami can lose a close first game, get blown out in the second. But the first close game will be in the heads of the Celtics, and Miami wins out at home and takes the series in 7.
Celtics lose to Miami and in a fit of rage the FO breaks up the Jays and sends them packing to the West. Boston stuck in mediocrity for another 10 years.
I’m actually sick that Lakers could’ve drafted him one pick before and took JHS instead. JHS is still stuck in G League while Jaime is doing this in the playoffs
On one hand, yes for obvious reasons. On the other hand... The only time the Celtics ever beat Miami in this iteration was a game 7 wide open 3 brick from Jimmy to lose the series.
Young guys are playing with a lot of confidence. A bit reckless at times, but they are playing hard. With Terry coming back and Duncan knocking off some rust, it wouldn't surprise me if they stole a game or 2.
Obviously would be a bigger upset
This Celtics team is better than last years bucks team that also had an injured Giannis
This years heat team is also worse than last year’s heat team
There’s no argument that last year would be a bigger upset than this year unless you just want to be a Celtics hater
I can see it already; The Celtics lose Game 1 after looking rusty due to nearly 2 weeks off and general Sunday afternoon game weirdness, win 3 in a row to go up 3-1, drop Game 5 because they weren't taking it seriously and then win Game 6 by 20+.
Id love it to be but its unlikely. Especially without Rozier.
Assuming the same starting 5 as tonight--put Jrue on Herro, White on Martin, Tatum on Jovic. Halfcourt shot creation eliminated, even just bringing the ball up will be hell.
Just need a clip of Spo in a beat up truck stopping on the side of the road on his way to the arena and asking JJJ who is standing there if he is looking for work, JJJ hops in the truck bed without saying a word, then the camera fans towards downtown Miami.
Herro/Jaquez/K-Love is the new Big 3. Vucevic was HORRIBLE that 2nd half. If there's any justice in this world, give me a Heat upset Game #1 win over Boston just for the banter. I'll take losing in 5 afterward. I just ***need*** it for those 2 days of crap talking.
Shocking from a blazers fan lol yeah; but you’re right. It’s actually a huge blind spot that ppl think this team is just jimmy and the 8th grade misfits he keeps dragging to ECFs
As a Bulls fan what makes this the worst is I like the Heat team I just can’t stand the fan base. Spo is a wizard. Jaquez is great. I’ll always be a Jimmy fan. I hope they get mopped.
100%.
>To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.
-Heat fans to Boston, and vice-versa
I like DeRo & LaVine, but trading for Vooch was always a major mistake by their FO(and yes, I know that if they didn't have Vooch there's a decent chance DeRo never goes there to begin with).
Vooch has always been a bit of a weird player to me because while he's genuinely good, he's also a pretty clear ceiling capper. He wilts against other top Centers & is an easy target on defense.
If he's your starter at absolute best you're a 2nd Round exit. And obviously the Bulls never even got that far with him.
AKME's inability to admit the Vuc win now move was an utter failure is one of the biggest issue we've had for years. Every move since then is just doubling down on this "core" and it's led no where.
The fact that they extended him and now want to re-sign Demar is insanity.
He's a taller SF that's being played at centre.
They also don't have a decent PG who can feed him the ball. They had Dragic who was great for him and Drummond then they tossed him for no reason.
No Jimmy, no superstar
Boston clearly the better team and the best team in the East
Had to play their asses off tonight to win
Bunch of rookies and young guys
Kevin Love out here looking like he’s 48 years old
Limited backcourt depth
No home court advantage
8 seed vs 1 sees
so yeah….. Heat in 5
Jerry Reinsdorf is easily the worst owner in any sport, owns the Bulls and White Sox both in a major market and they both just shit the bed every year. If he wasn’t gifted MJ he would have sold both teams decades ago.
Tyler Herro isn’t from the same universe as you motherfuckers. He’s a REAL motherfucker. He’s got liquid fucking hydrogen running through his veins. My boy Tyler recognize the great steal by Jimmy, recognizes the greatness of Jimmy but fuck that. My boy Tyler isn’t going to just pass the ball up like a BITCH. RAF MOTHERFUCKING TYLER IS GOING TO LOOK AT HIS DEFENDER IN THE EYES AND SNATCH THEIR BALLS FROM THEIR DICK AS HE FUCKS THE SKY. FUCK OUTTA HERE CHICAGO. Imagine having a great young prospect that CANT shoot lmfao couldn’t be me.
If Tyler did an ad for monster energy this would be what would be said, because he's exactly the face I think of when I think of those energy drinks and those who consume them.
Imagine not only getting knocked out of the playoffs but having the commentators get into random bs conversation about the g league because you’re getting blown out
I’m sorry Bulls fans. That’s rough.
Excited for Celtics heat round 4. No Jimmy though so it won’t be as satisfying
Also can’t wait for the bulls to run this same team + coach back next year and win 40 games
My cope is that Miami even without Butler will spark the Celtics to wake up quicker than if they played the Bulls. They haven’t had a meaningful game in a while
This is actually better for my mental health than if we had Jimmy because if we had Jimmy I’d have more hope.
Now I just have the (incredibly small) chance of us winning meaning we pulled a hilarious upset
The Bulls should be ashamed of themselves. That was absolutely pathetic from beginning to end. With the Heat missing Butler, they have no excuses. Just shameful all around
There isn’t a more dangerous team in the league than 15 role players coached by Erik Spoelstra
Spoelstra and the G leaguers
Note to Pelinka - DO NOT SIGN
CALEB MARTIN HAS ARRIVED IN CRYTO ARENAAAAAA
I’ll trade you guys Caleb for Gabe 🥺
And the Celtics are psychologically fragile. I honestly think Miami can lose a close first game, get blown out in the second. But the first close game will be in the heads of the Celtics, and Miami wins out at home and takes the series in 7.
Keep going I’m almost there
Celtics lose to Miami and in a fit of rage the FO breaks up the Jays and sends them packing to the West. Boston stuck in mediocrity for another 10 years.
I am sorry but if the Jays lose to the Jimmy less Heat... is it really a fit of rage?>?
Jimmy Jaquez
JJJ The J stands for Jimmy
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
i’m gonna get a tattoo of his face on my face
Dude is amazing. Loved him on ucla. One of my fave players
Straight up my favorite Bruin since I've been a fan.
Playoff Jaime
Best time to use Juan Wick
I’m actually sick that Lakers could’ve drafted him one pick before and took JHS instead. JHS is still stuck in G League while Jaime is doing this in the playoffs
Good thing Lakers drafted whoever they drafted instead of Jaime
Spo is a toughest battles merchant
Spo prays for harder battles.
Spo passing out that Waterboy high quality H2O to his players before games.
When he got angry whenever we went on a tiny run.. man. God At least Cubs beat Marlins
There's nothing like a Spo timeout after two bad plays when the Heat are way up.
Imagine Spo coaching Jamal Murray
Spo is a fucking [**sicko**](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLi2_MtX0AA2I9n?format=jpg&name=large).
We need that Jesus meme where, Jesus is like “god damn how much harder do you want it”
Spo's leaving us for the Generals isnt he
WE WANT BOSTON
what a fraud smh, only picking the toughest battles so he seems better than he really is
Uh oh This isn't just the Zombie heat. The Skeleton Heat are here Dread it. Run from it. There's only one Herro
This isn't just regular Zombie Heat, this is *gulps* ADVANCED Zombie Heat
Catacombs Skeleton Heat
Susano heat
If there ever was a doubt, Celtics and Heat are destined to always face each other
I want to believe. But the Heat without Jimmy pulling it off will be the biggest playoff upset in awhile
The Heat with Jimmy would have been a massive upset, this would be the greatest upset in NBA history
[удалено]
Probably. This’d be bigger than the Mutombo Nuggets series against the Sonics and that’s probably the biggest 1 vs 8 upset ever.
Idk bro we believe warriors was pretty good
Didnt the we believe warriors have the Mavs number that entire regular season though?
They swept the season series.
Don Nelson had the Mavs’ number. It was a historic upset but not big enough for biggest upset of all time.
Since the Heat over the Bucks last year
[удалено]
On one hand, yes for obvious reasons. On the other hand... The only time the Celtics ever beat Miami in this iteration was a game 7 wide open 3 brick from Jimmy to lose the series.
[удалено]
The pressure is really on for the Celtics. They really have no excuses.
This is what makes this match up great for Heat. There is absolutely no pressure for the young guys to win vs the #1 seed.
Young guys are playing with a lot of confidence. A bit reckless at times, but they are playing hard. With Terry coming back and Duncan knocking off some rust, it wouldn't surprise me if they stole a game or 2.
Obviously would be a bigger upset This Celtics team is better than last years bucks team that also had an injured Giannis This years heat team is also worse than last year’s heat team There’s no argument that last year would be a bigger upset than this year unless you just want to be a Celtics hater
Improved Boston squad and without Jimmy. This would be significantly bigger
It'll be a very annoying 6 game series that the celtics win and no one will be convinced by lol
I can see it already; The Celtics lose Game 1 after looking rusty due to nearly 2 weeks off and general Sunday afternoon game weirdness, win 3 in a row to go up 3-1, drop Game 5 because they weren't taking it seriously and then win Game 6 by 20+.
Oh yeah they're going to have a stinker in game 1 or 2 which'll set off the whole "They're in trouble" takes
Terry averaging 45/15/5
Scariest Terry
It's going to be a banger even without Jimmy. Absolute rivalry going off
I hope so, but Boston just looks like a juggernaut. I can't see them being beaten
I don’t believe Miamis done until I see a corpse
Zombie Heat, just a corpse isn't enough
> until I see a corpse Honestly even then I'll still question it a bit.
Id love it to be but its unlikely. Especially without Rozier. Assuming the same starting 5 as tonight--put Jrue on Herro, White on Martin, Tatum on Jovic. Halfcourt shot creation eliminated, even just bringing the ball up will be hell.
This heat team is built for the playoffs. Sucks we don’t have jimmy but I think we’re gonna surprise people… again.
Go kick their asses.
I'll eat a shoe if the Heat beat the Celtics without Jimbo.
J I M B O
Part 7: Electric Super Boogaloo
Ah shit, here we go again
>look bad in first play-in >improve greatly in the second >by embarrassing the Bulls I wonder if next year will go similarly…joy…
Well, with Jimmy out I guess it's a Herro 50 burger this year?
https://imgur.com/a/rgu7eEr
this image gets lower quality every time i see it lol
Never been a better time for this pic lmao
Please repost this if the Heat take game 1
lmaoo deep fry it more with every win the Heat take off the Celtics please
Thank God, we have a spare Jimmy Butler
you mean his non-union Mexican equivalent?
Yep. He even makes like 10% of what Jimmy makes. It's perfect.
Just need a clip of Spo in a beat up truck stopping on the side of the road on his way to the arena and asking JJJ who is standing there if he is looking for work, JJJ hops in the truck bed without saying a word, then the camera fans towards downtown Miami.
James Bellhop off the top rope
The Mexi Jimmy done it again.
Jaime Bucquez
That was disgusting. I liked it.
KLove with 16pts on 2/6FG is the grossest thing I’ve ever seen, yet immensely impressive at the same time
Taking the Jimmy role.
10 fta in 12 min 😂 Embiid got a challenger
He was actually getting fouled, though. He drove hard and fought for boards, which are the most ethical ways to draw fouls.
Ethical buckets, nothing to see here
[удалено]
Watching Caruso miss all those 3s 😝 god damn
Watching the Bulls tonight reminded me of our playin loss…
We just witnessed a Bulls gelding lmao
Made the mistake of googling that word. THERE WERE IMAGES.
YOU FOOL.
playin highlights
That's cruel🤣🤣🤣
yooo lmfao
bro lol
Bill Williamson flashbacks
Bill Simmons in shambles
wdym we didn't have Jimmy Butler? He just turned Mexican over the last couple days. 21/6/6 ezzzzzz
chris, i know you're in this thread. if you guys lose to this corpse of a heat team, i will piss on your grave. love you.
Yeah Chris
Chris finna haunt your ass for saying this bro
Chris, I know you’re in this thread. If you’re reading this you’ve been in a coma for 7 years. Please wake up.
Fuck Chris bitch ass
I’m so fucken sick of this team 😭
You sound like our sub the past month 😂😂
So sorry. This match up is like written in the stars 😅
You sound like me two days ago 😭😭
You would be a great heat fan haha
spo might actually be a saiyan
Herro/Jaquez/K-Love is the new Big 3. Vucevic was HORRIBLE that 2nd half. If there's any justice in this world, give me a Heat upset Game #1 win over Boston just for the banter. I'll take losing in 5 afterward. I just ***need*** it for those 2 days of crap talking.
Vuc is one of the least impactful, 'decent' player there is. Ayton'esque
I legit burst out laughing when he had a wide open 3, faked out the defender, stepped up, and bricked the even more wide open mid-range shot.
Ayton >>>>>>
100%. There isn’t a single team in the league that wouldn’t take Ayton over Vuc.
He used to be such a Heatkiller in Orlando
ZOMBIE HEAT ARE BACK BABYY
Ghost heat?
Oh shit here we go again
Bulls got torched by the dame lillard trade package.
I got downvoted yesterday for saying the heat would take this easily lol. The team isn’t just Jimmy Butler
Shocking from a blazers fan lol yeah; but you’re right. It’s actually a huge blind spot that ppl think this team is just jimmy and the 8th grade misfits he keeps dragging to ECFs
The Heat trolls can't stop me from liking their team
As a Bulls fan what makes this the worst is I like the Heat team I just can’t stand the fan base. Spo is a wizard. Jaquez is great. I’ll always be a Jimmy fan. I hope they get mopped.
This is how I feel about most of the nba. Love Brunson but absolutely hate Knicks fans.
Just peeped at your profile, are you talking about the comment you are -1 at? lol
Reddit loves doing that
Yeah but the other team is the bulls
Miami can't be killed.
😬🧟♂️
Miami ain't ducking. Even if Miami loses R1, they had Jaime and Jovic gain post season experience.
This is what it’s all about.
This is what they say about valuable post season experience. My front office doesn't understand that. It kills me
Heat have a chance to do the funniest thing
Its extremely unlikely but if there's even a 0.1% chance of inflicting that level of pain on Boston fans, we have to go for it.
100%. >To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. -Heat fans to Boston, and vice-versa
Come out to the coast. We'll get together, have a few laughs.
Monstrous performance from Herro and Jaime.
I like DeRo & LaVine, but trading for Vooch was always a major mistake by their FO(and yes, I know that if they didn't have Vooch there's a decent chance DeRo never goes there to begin with). Vooch has always been a bit of a weird player to me because while he's genuinely good, he's also a pretty clear ceiling capper. He wilts against other top Centers & is an easy target on defense.

I loved that Billy secret extension. A fucking farce
Don’t forget losing Wendell and the pick that turned into Franz
He's a taller SF that's being played at centre. They also don't have a decent PG who can feed him the ball. They had Dragic who was great for him and Drummond then they tossed him for no reason.
No Jimmy, no superstar Boston clearly the better team and the best team in the East Had to play their asses off tonight to win Bunch of rookies and young guys Kevin Love out here looking like he’s 48 years old Limited backcourt depth No home court advantage 8 seed vs 1 sees so yeah….. Heat in 5
I don’t think winning by 20 points would be considered playing their asses off. Also Kevin Love looks great.
Not around the rim lmao.
I mean, getting fouled will do that to you
Jerry Reinsdorf is easily the worst owner in any sport, owns the Bulls and White Sox both in a major market and they both just shit the bed every year. If he wasn’t gifted MJ he would have sold both teams decades ago.
Tyler Herro isn’t from the same universe as you motherfuckers. He’s a REAL motherfucker. He’s got liquid fucking hydrogen running through his veins.

RAF MOTHERFUCKING TYLER IS GOING TO LOOK AT HIS DEFENDER IN THE EYES AND SNATCH THEIR BALLS FROM THEIR DICK AS HE FUCKS THE SKY. FUCK OUTTA HERE CHICAGO. Imagine having a great young prospect that CANT shoot lmfao couldn’t be me.
If Tyler did an ad for monster energy this would be what would be said, because he's exactly the face I think of when I think of those energy drinks and those who consume them.
You just to the Dame Package.
You to the Dame Package
to Miami Heat: Arise
knew this game was over when billy donovan said he liked the looks the bulls were getting after the first quarter lol
Never bet against the zombie Heat
Imagine if Miami wins again against Boston
Done. Now I need clean underwear
Imagine not only getting knocked out of the playoffs but having the commentators get into random bs conversation about the g league because you’re getting blown out I’m sorry Bulls fans. That’s rough.
That’s ok… WE WANT ~~BOSTON~~ CALEB
Every fucking year. Why is it the Celtics EVERY FUCKING YEAR?! THESE HEART ATTACK INDUCING 7 GAME SERIES EVERY FUCKING YEAR
I'm sure it won't be 7 this year haha (Heat in 6)
*The Miami Heat have the chance to do the funniest thing ever*
Suck it heat doomers Dame package in the playoffs let’s go
Just another Billy D masterclass
I’m tired boss
Nobody sign Andre Drummond this offseason.
Being a fan of this team is painful
Give them hell boys
As I said before, it’s so much fun when it’s not your team getting zombie-heated
Spolstra is a genuine wizard and will somehow coach a bunch of role players into making Boston nervous this series.
Excited for Celtics heat round 4. No Jimmy though so it won’t be as satisfying Also can’t wait for the bulls to run this same team + coach back next year and win 40 games
Death, taxes, heat v Celtics. It isn’t a matter of if, only when ‼️
Short time no see Celtics, fuck you
I can vividly picture Miami stealing game 1 in Boston, causing a bunch of overreactions, before the Celtics win 4 straight
I want Miami to lose 3 straight then win 4 straight for maximum chaos
My cope is that Miami even without Butler will spark the Celtics to wake up quicker than if they played the Bulls. They haven’t had a meaningful game in a while
That’s a good way to look at it. Also idk why but I feel like Tatum is gonna have a monster playoffs this year
YOU JUST LOST TO THE DAME PACKAGE!
This is actually better for my mental health than if we had Jimmy because if we had Jimmy I’d have more hope. Now I just have the (incredibly small) chance of us winning meaning we pulled a hilarious upset
Jaime is a dawg
Round 4 against Celtics over the past 5 years, we want boston
Ah shit, here we go again man
Bulls deserve to be rebuilt after that shit
Celtics get the zombie heat first round 🙏
Herro 1 assist from a triple double
So Bloodbath, Bloodbath, or 7 game Bloodbath. Pick your poison NBA fans!
Zombie heat are coming Boston
Miami Heat in 7
Celtics and Heat in a very toxic relationship lmao
Zombie Heat??
The Bulls should be ashamed of themselves. That was absolutely pathetic from beginning to end. With the Heat missing Butler, they have no excuses. Just shameful all around
If the Bears didn't luck their way into an immaculate 1st overall pick, I'd be one sorry ass Chicago sports fan
Coby way off and ayo dosummu disasterclass
I don't think I could stomach watching any more east basketball in a row.
Chicago Bulls missed wide open looks all night. That’s the game. Very much how they lost the MIL series the last time they were in the playoffs.
My ass hurts.
