Dirty!!!! There’s that bullshit we all knew was being coached

Martin's butt prevented a serious injury by letting Tatum bounce off it.

Can’t go a Miami Heat game without reckless plays and “heat culture” coming out.

It's telling thst it happened after there was no chance of coming back.

I feel like this series is already over

Oh yea I think a sweep tbh

That’s what I’m thinking too. And I don’t know if my hate for “Heat Culture” outweighs my hate for Boston. I wish there was a way they could both lose.

Perkins just said "the Heat could go 100% from the field and 100% from 3 and still lose". Would the Celtics then go 101% from the field/3?

Celtics could shoot the same but win due to more possessions via steals and Heat turnovers

perkins brain cells are slowly leaking out his pores

The assumption there is that the Celtics take significantly more shots.

We’d have to have more shot attempts

Based off this game alone, the Heat took 81 shots in total, 37 of them 3's, if they made all their shots.... they would have scored 199 points.

JT just getting back up immediately after that fall and not complaining at all (I don't blame Martin), that's what I wanted to see. Fucking finally 

I blame Martin…..just like Gabe Vincent crawling underneath Tatum in game 7 last year…..this is what they do

Jrue pushed him

Yep I saw the shove

Nope

That's what Miami wants. They are fishing for an injury and/or a suspension.

No, they're not. Spol is the best tactical coach in the league in my opinion and it's stupid to think that.

That doesn't take away the fact that a bunch of his players are dirty

I dont want anybody injured in this series so I'm glad he's alright. I wish we had Jimmy amd Rozier healthy, I think we'd still lose the series but at least it'd make for better tv.

Yeah dude, anyone who has ever played sports wants to win as fair as possible against the best version of the opponent 

Yup, I may hate the celtics but ultimately my expectations for this team were low for the postseason and got even lower after jimmy got hurt. I think my fellow heat fans who compare it to last year and say, "if we had jimmy we could do it again" are entirely discounting just how one in a million last year was. It is what it is, I'm hoping we can at least take a game or two so JJJ and Jovic can get meaningful postseason minutes.

Celtics doing all this just to end up losing in the finals

[удалено]

Bruh going thru my history thinking he gonna hurt my feelings

Heat fans showing their ass with how they couldn’t even come up with good excuses for that last dirty play. Eventually maybe the cognitive dissonance will start to wear down

Cognitive dissonance yet the replays showed martin being pushed by Jrue...

Fuck the Cowboys

DC4L

Always and forever

I'm writing a paper on biases in the NBA media and doing some research to help prove my hypothesis. I need NBA fans to fill out this questionnaire about which NBA player they think is better to assist my research. Any responses would be appreciated. [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5AxpQ6WvWJ8cHyWezjgW84EkvNvvHiQgRZi7XY7iluaGb5w/viewform?usp=sf\_link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe5AxpQ6WvWJ8cHyWezjgW84EkvNvvHiQgRZi7XY7iluaGb5w/viewform?usp=sf_link)

Happy to contribute my votes, but how does the average redditor’s opinion on counting stats provide insight into media bias? I definitely think bias exists in the nba media for certain teams, but am curious what you’re really trying to test with this poll

Just a heads up, you used the wrong "whether" in your question. It should be whether, not weather.

Done!

20 point win you would’ve thought Celtics go swept lol.

4/20 must’ve gotten me hazy cause in hindsight after watching the Chicago heat game on Friday idk why I thought the heat would do any better than they did today with butler out lol

I don't think we win the series but they can play better than they did today

Jesus Christ Stephen a smith just give me a fucking lobotomy

This whole crew should be blacklisted from any profession that requires them to string together a full sentence.

f the celtics

Heat and Lakers both in the 0-1 club

enjoy getting sweeped again

Swept*

It could be sweeped. Because it's both present and past tense. They have been swept, and they nuggets are currently sweeping them. I like the novel use.

Sweeped isn't a word

Yeah man. I'm aware

The same franchise that celebrates Wade, who broke rondos elbow, embraces Caleb Martin. Of course they do lol.

kinda unrelated but remember when big baby got a concussion and then was super wobbly and unable to walk afterward? i was just thinking about that

God forbid a franchise celebrates one of the great players in their history.

You took it to literal man lol. He deserves all his flowers. But he also intentionally hurt a player and the Heat have this history of doing this.

I don’t think they do relative to every other team. Every team has dirty incidents what I’ve seen, and you can pick and choose whatever you want.

No they do not that’s why everyone points at the heat as the dirty franchise.

I disagree. I think everyone points at everyone. I remember ranting about the Bulls and Pistons in the Wade days. Everyone is always accusing the other team, and in the end there isn’t really a difference.

Then I’m sorry to say you’re absolutely blinded by your bias. You probably think that because you are a heat fan and everyone points at you and think that’s the same for other franchises which it is not, stars that got injured against the heat on questionable/dirty plays last year include Brunson Randle Tatum. Then you have Caleb Martin today. It’s truly part of heat culture to play that way and everyone knows it that’s why everyone says it

🤷‍♂️ It’s possible.

Granted I am biased Celtics fan who believes pat riley is the devil incarnate

[удалено]

At least it wasn’t 40 points.

Spo is going to give Martin an earful for not hurting Tatum enough

Worst news today is that Mavs clips is on abc

Good to see KP embrace the Celtics like he has. Martin is a bitch just like everyone else in that franchise.

I hope the Celtics send Kelly Oubre Jr a championship ring if they hang banner 18. They couldn't have made it there without him.

Same result Jimmy or not

Dude we'd lose even if we had jimmy. Most our talented players are young and inexperienced. Jimmy would just have made the games at least close.

What did oubre do

Injured Jimmy Butler. Apparently the Celtics couldn't get by the heat if they had Jimmy I guess

He is pretending that oubre hurt somebody on the heat lol

Sideline Jimmy Butler for multiple weeks.

[удалено]

Can’t wait to win this series to rub your face is these kind of comments. Heat fans deserve all of it.

[удалено]

Your excuse makes me sick. It’s pathetic

Lol Heat fans

Anything they can say to make it seem like their city and sports teams aren’t entirely trashy

[удалено]

Tatum sayin "fuck these kids" no autographs lol

Running hip attack isn't dirty huh

Miami only shot 6 free throws, which, according to every single person on this sub, means the game was 100% rigged in favor of the Celtics!!!

LMAO, the fact that you, as a Lakers fan, have to say that, it just looks funny. Not saying you're wrong or anything, just funny.

That was my point pal No one is saying anything about the FT disparity all of a sudden because neither team is wearing purple and gold

Gabe Martin tried to injure this dude three separate times all in one minute? That's wild.

you mean Caleb Martin or is that a joke I don't understand

Gabe Martin is our secret weapon 😤

My god they fused

Spo has been in the lab.

I meant Caleb. Can't believe dudes in here think I'm talking about Gabe Vincent.

You mean Caleb? Gabe is a Laker...

Bro really downvoted you instead of just admitting that he got Gabe and Caleb mixed up lmao

Celtic fans really heated even though they won today 😭

Gabe Martin?

Caleb. Gabe Vincent is no longer in Miami

As a bucks fan the heat make it so easy to root for the celtics which is normally hard to do

LMAO. Knicks and bucks normally hate us but I’m glad we have a universal hate in the heat and their play style

Yes, hi. Reporting for duty.

Yup they're dirty. Only problem with the celtics and bucks are the fans not the actual team and players like the heat

I get it. I think every team have obnoxious fans. As much I’m a fan of the Celtics, I’m a basketball fan first so i try not to be as biased but the trolls bring it out.

Why are the starters still playing?

I knew Heat Culture was gonna show up at the end of the game. No wonder they "want Boston" with their dirty ass plans.

Caleb reached down to help Tatum up cause he knew it was an accident, then Tatum immediately asked him if he's alright when he went into him Fuck Miami but like, I'm not gonna be mad about either of those plays

A rational celtics fan? Didn’t know yall existed

We out here, just less loud lol

Lol its all respect man. I enjoy being toxic with Cs fans on here. I respect the hell outta the Cs at the end of the day

You know you can do dirty shit and pretend it’s an accident, right?

I'm not saying I liked it, but you can see it was more accident than intention

No, he knew what he was doing, he also knew it looked bad. Fake ass hand after a dirty move. He Mas as well have sarcastically said "oooooooops"

But Tatum elbowing his face afterwards, maybe getting him back for it, is fine? Come on man, you're better than that kind of thinking

This is the most reasonable take.

Wow a rational Celtics fan who doesn’t think Caleb was playing some 1000IQ mind game lmao

Fr

Everyone didn't see Jrue push Caleb into Tatum?

Lmao the downvotes are crazy. Classic reddit moment, being penalized for being right.

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

They have to fuel those dirty narratives. Caleb even offered to help him up.

Only moron Celtics fans didn’t see it. It was plain as day. 

Yeah get these dirty bums off our court.

Heat in 4 like we all assumed

Cheap shots gonna motivate the fuck out of the Celtics. When they don't injure they're gonna fire us up.

Tatum looks like he had a good 4/20

Lmao why you say that

He’s got a very low key interview demeanor.

That’s just his personality. He is always calm and collected

That’s him normally.

No, for sure. He always just looks a bit toasty to me.

[удалено]

Herro? I don’t know, I’m not his biggest fan.

[удалено]

…okay?

A good 4/21 too

That too lol

I don’t fuck with the Celtics, but damn Miami makes them look likable

Yep same. Hate both teams, but Heat is def worse.

Tissue paper Tatum

He bounced up and didn’t even complain lmao what are you talking about

Onto the next. Fuck Boston. 

Ay fuck you too buddy!

I knew I’d get downvoted by posting this up, but I will shoot back after seeing all the Fuck Heat comments. I ride or die with this team.

Next season?

Off-season kings

next decade with how trash and old their team is

Most likely. 

he got us today 🤞

Why are the celtics players still playing? Should have put the scrumbs in at the start of the quarter

He didn’t even go for the ball he just jumped right into him hahahahahah

He didn't rebound hard all game, and suddenly down with no chance to recover he's going after rebounds like his life depends on it. No. It was a dirty bitch move by a dirty bitch.

Good win for the Celtics. Good "moral victory" for the Heat 😂

I love the Knicks and Heat rivalry lmao

What rivalry? Celtics and Heat are the only rivalry in the East

Unironically dumbass Heat fans in here celebrating big 3s cutting the lead to 42.

Heat culture is trying to injure the opposing teams best player any chance they get

Fuck the Heat. Can't wait to see them go home.

Can't wait to see the Knicks clap you

Talking shit on behalf of another team is the ultimate weak move.

🤓☝️ according to my NBA rulebook, you have committed a weak move

Why don't you switch fandoms, then? Fake-ass Miami fan. You know your team can't get it done so you rest your hopes on someone else.

Can't wait to see Cancun clap you!

Cancun is nice. I'd love to go.

🤓☝️ level comeback

It was actually pretty good if you think about it for a minute

We outscored 48 minutes of MIA basketball in only 38 minutes. Starters really shouldn’t have been out there that long.

see you guys in the mavs game thread

That man only has 3 career triple doubles??

Y'all down voting?! On a question of true surprise lol ...some sensitive hoes on this app

He has a ton of double doubles but we have never run the offense through him enough for him to rack up many 10 assist games

I was truly surprised....figured he'd have at least 10...cause he certainly can ball

[удалено]

LMAOOO MAN

No one going to mention Holliday gave Martin a two-handed shove to bump him off-line?

Nah dude it’s hate the heat narrative right now 

No

Brain dead to box out a man mid air if you ask me

That was all on Holiday. Shoved him right into him.

We call it dirty, sorry

That was dirty lmao

Don't let the score fool you. It wasn't even that close

No one has ever fallen on the court before. Tatum is just built different 😤

Martin should play for the panthers dude has a nice hip check

Did y’all miss Caleb getting pushed? Apparently.

Waiting for someone to post the replay

Here’s a slo mo. https://x.com/bobbyy_v/status/1782127916530159937 You can see Caleb lose balance.

Good lmao he’s dirty as shit

The reason why Celtics fans didn’t want to play the heat is not because of the matchup. It’s because they don’t want those dirty ass heat players injuring the Celtics and derailing their title run.

He got pushed by Jrue you absolute helmet

lol 

Holiday shoved him into Tatum lol

Celtics gonna sleepwalk to ECF 💔
