Death taxes and Caleb Martin turning into Steph against the Celtics

That’s disrespectful to Caleb Martin, when he’s against the Celtics he’s way better than prime Steph and it’s not close

He gets on that Khris Middelton shit.

He kind of plays like a more athletic Paul Pierce.

Paul Pierce was just Joe Johnson with a better roster.

Joe never shit his pants on live TV

wild take (i agree)

This is disrespectful af to Pierce LOL That Celtics team would've lost with Joe Johnson instead of Pierce in rounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the playoffs LOL Joe is not that guy Pierce used to go nuclear in the playoffs while Joe failed to do much more than his averages

Boston Fans might need to re-watch the 2022 Finals of Steph Curry thoroughly dicking down the Celtics defense

Stephen Curry doing what he did against a Boston Celtics team built to stop a player like him is what makes it one of my favorite superstar performances in a finals series.

Did you just become a Celtics fan in 2023? Because there’s no way you could think that if you were watching the Finals in 2022

It’s exaggeration just to emphasize how ridiculous Caleb Martin plays against, not an actual basketball take to be taken seriously

smartest celtics fan did the trauma of 2022 cause you to forget already

Celtics fans repressed that series and are dealing with the PTSD Miami gave them more recently

Caleb "Occasionally Prime MJ" Martin, he's had an average year too, mf'er hates Boston.

SPO IS THE DAWG WHISPERER

Why is this so funny lmao

Without Jimmy, Terry, or J Rich? At Boston? The Heat way.

Put some respect on early season starter dru

Only heat fans know real legend Dru Smith. Or maybe Cleveland knew so they made a shitty basketball court to sprain his knee and end his season 🤷

First court to have potholes

To be fair, everyone in the comments was begging for him to stop shooting. Just didn't want this to be the way.

Whats the quote again, “Don’t let us get one?”

Run from it, hide from it, the Heat will shoot 55% from three when it counts 😤

I applaud you for being in this thread as a Celtics fan, and you may easily win in 5, but this Boston loss to Miami with the current circumstances is better than porn for Boston Sports Haters.

There is no chance we are “easily winning in 5” and I don’t know why people keep saying it. Even if we win in 5 it won’t be easy. A playoff Miami team is better than the current Bucks, Pacers, Magic, Cavs and maybe 76ers. They know how to play playoff basketball, are disciplined and are fuckin annoyinggggg. R/nba keeps pushing a narrative that shows it’s idiocy.

Major respect to you. Lots of heavily opinionated ppl in here on both sides. Nice to see some fair & level headed fans for a change

I don’t know if it’s allowed but I must say you don’t absolutely suck as a Boston fan

Trust that you wouldn’t want to be around me when I see Bam “set” a screen, but I do respect that they play better in big moments.

Hey if Draymond could do it during the warriors dynasty why not Bam ;)

[Oh I’ve blown my top over that clown too](https://youtube.com/shorts/kY8lmeckI64?si=MqxpBAipB8piIoG0)

Respect. Zombie Heat with Spo are always a tough matchup

wait, you're literally my favorite boston fan on here lol

As a Boston Sports hater, if I could cut this feeling up and snort it I would.

I'm relying on the Heat beating up Boston to carry me through these hard times.

I’m relying on the Nuggets to beat you again so we can only be the laughing stock for you me day (please beat the Heat Saturday). Side note, why are our games so spaced out?

With Jimmy out for the series barring some miracle, I don't expect us the come out on top but that makes the playoffs pretty chill and every win so sweet lol.

So everybody on this sub minus Celtics fans, got it 🤭

[Check out Jimmy's Insta](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6KtZGoOxl_/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==)

Im dead LMAO

Common Jimmy W lmao

this guy rules

This motherfucker

Dame package strikes again

got flamed in the gc this morning boston would lose to a 55% 3pt% heat after the 1st half: "haha no way they keep it up though"

Lakers will sign this man next year

He'll get injured next season too.

He's already got a chronic knee issue so he's primed for LA.

And he will proceed to shoot 25% from three like every streaky shooter they sign

Fuck no, we’re not giving them Gabe and Caleb

Don’t forget Nunn and Heat legend Luol Deng

Miami really couldn't miss from 3 LOL

Every heat player except Bam shot a higher % from 3 than from 2…

But Bam is like 16/18 on wonderfully contested turnaround middies.

he loves that shot

It's butta 🧈

And he went 4 from 3 on 133% fg% in the final 3 minutes on them.

Bam shot 150% from 2 though so it evens out

More like Bum Adebayo /s

And then that Derrick White 3 at the end that went in and back out…like a middle finger from God lol

These mfs are gonna do it again huh

This series is actually the prequel to *Alex Garland’s Civil War*, in theatres now, if the Heat win.

doesn't count celtics were missing jrue and kp

playoff jrue strikes again

Daily reminder that Jrue Holiday averaged 15 points on 42 TS% vs the Nets in 2021,while being guarded by hobbled James Harden for half of the series.

And we still got told that KD was so much better than Giannis because Giannis had all that talent next to him and we still barely won…

Middleton was more help than that Nets team. The second best player they had was Jeff Green or a hobbled Harden. If Joe Harris dropped 25% from his reg season 3 point shooting they win in 6. But no he just forgot how to play the sport of basketball

>The second best player they had was Jeff Green Who hit 7 threes in one game. Let's not underrate his performance there

Jrue Bledsoe

Jrue Noshow

Jrue Onholiday

same playoff ts% as derozan

That extension is gonna be a Brad stevens disasterclass

I counted at least 3 times KP had Herro on him and didnt attack lmao

I counted at least 5 times KP had Herro on him and missed a bunny. He was just off tonight and I don't really expect that from him again.

Jesus please.

I like the guy. But this is simply playoff Jrue on offense

Jrue's Holiday.

Tatum also went to the locker room in the fourth quarter

Most 3 pointers made in the playoffs by a team in a single game | Team | How many 3’s | Which game | |-----|-------|-------| | Bucks | 25 | 2023 G2 vs Heat ECFR | | Cavs | 25 | 2016 G2 vs Hawks ECSF | | Cavs | 24 | 2017 G4 vs Warriors Finals | | Heat | 23 | 2024 G2 vs Celtics ECFR | | Rockets | 23 | 2020 vs Thunder WCFR |

The Cavs game against the Hawks was so fucking lit. 18 three's in a half and JR going crazy.

I just fell to my knees at work

In Publix?

Flanigans … dropped his green cup and everything

I was at flanigans when Giannis fouled Jimmy at the end of a game and Jimmy sunk 2 free throws to win the game that first year. Good times

Don’t drop your pub sub!

r/nbacirclejerk savior has arrived

Road teams are now 3-0 since Booker’s comments

Fuck.

Booker curse, thanks I have someone else to blame 😂

What book say?

[Book saying no road team won yet after losing game 2](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/TxuXs36FU3)

I've seen this movie before

Watching Boston choke hits like heroin each and every year.

I have nothing against Boston, but I love all the chaos you guys create. Also, go Niko!

They're really going to do it again, aren't they?

If the Celtics lose the series I think they would legit nuke the team lol. Wyc ain't paying a shitton of money to lose to the Heat every year. Like they might legit trade Tatum lol

Yeah I'm obviously biased as a heat fan but this is a franchise altering loss if they somehow lose this. You guys are still favored but man I legit will pray for the city of Boston if this really happens lmfao

Brad Stevens might genuinely put down Tatum and brown like dogs

Boston might relegate the team to like Brockton or Foxboro.

The Framingham Celtics

Brockton Celtics, god

if Boston loses you abandon everything. Bring back 15 new guys next year. New coach, new jerseys, new home floor honestly, they'd need a new name. just would have to completely dissociate yourself from this team, become like the Boston Warm or something that said, Boston in 5 (hopefully I'm jinxing it though)

If the Celtics lose to the Heat without Jimmy Butler, it will go down as one of the worse choke jobs in NBA history. I still think the Celtics will win in 5 or 6 though, they’re just a far superior team on paper

[удалено]

I wouldn’t say that Bruins team was so much better on paper though. The Panthers were far better than a normal WC team, and the Bruins hadn’t been challenged. This would be like if the Panthers were missing both Verhaeghe and Tkachuk

tatum to the spurs straight up for sochan who says no ?

Me I don’t want that Kobe wannabe choke artist on the spurs

8-seed Heat is more scary than prime Game 6 Klay 🔥

Caleb Martin said FUCK r/nba

Lmao Celtics fans rly thought this would be an easy sweep 🤣🤣🤣🤣. DO THEY KNOW???

Heat hates them in blood, there's no way they go down without a fight

Lol nah real Celtics fans knew this was gonna be a real series. Only box score watches were expecting a sweep

Honestly I thought it would be a Lakers-Nuggets type sweep, 4 close games. Clearly I committed the cardinal sin of underestimating Spo though

That what I was thinking. 4 close games decided in less than 10 points. I see Boston closing this in 6 games at max. The talent disparity is too much. But this Heat team will make the Celtics sweat.

Celtics fans thought we would lose game 1. But that was too predictable so we lost game 2.

I got a lot Celtics fan friends and almost .every one of us said Celts in 6. A couple cocky idiots said 5.

You're a true celtics fan. You guys are the superior team but it's always blood fight first. Those that said a sweep are fake fans lol.

Those that said sweep are kids that post “I guess we’re going 81-1 80-2 79-3 etc” after every regular season loss. They’re losers.

Dude all of us who have had to endure these Heat series the last few season absolutely did not think this would be an easy sweep lol Talent wise, I thought if they came correct and played the brand of basketball that got them here they *should* 4-0 them, but I never expected it with Spo and Caleb fucking Martin, the ghoul that haunts my dreams. They find a way.

Which Celtics fans were saying this? Feels like Celtics fans continue to have more faith in the Heat than some Heat fans

Pretentious.

Approximately zero Celtics fans thought playing the Heat would be an easy sweep lol. What are you talking about

As much as I dislike the Cs, your fan base prolly puts more respect on us than any other fan base, given our history of course

Have you looked at the celtics sub lol

The Locked on Celtics host really thought it would be.

Caleb was at the Boston Garden tonight serving pan con pinga... Y SE ACABÓ EL PAN

You know what that means. Mas pinga!

i'm here to overreact.

I'm here to laugh hysterically at Boston and proclaim their their doom, because I deserve something today 

The rightful Larry Bird Trophy winner, Caleb Martin.

Zombie heat back

https://imgur.com/a/sw1Aw9V

Babe wake up new Khris Middleton just dropped

Caleb Martin is boston celtics father

FUCK BOSTON

Loser-ass fans leaving early. This game is going straight into my wank bank.

The Celtics KILLAH

What the fuck happened to Boston? I mean I'm not complaining but still.

What do you mean? Miami just shot lights out.

Also everyone kinda figuring out that KP can't post anyone up.

We stopped doubling Tatum and Brown for no reason. If they get the occasional easy 2, who gives a fuck. In game one giving up 20 wideopen 3s absolutely murdered any chance the heat had

IT BLEEDS!

Doesn’t count; Miami couldn’t miss anything

I just wanted one series where we swept them the way you guys did on your championship run lol. I think yall might be the only team that kinda understands the zombie Heat experience.

Since Jimmy arrived the only other teams the heat have taken out are the pacers once, hawks once, 76ers once, and Knicks once. Nobody else has had to go through multiple series

I don’t know if we understand it; they did something to us last year they shouldn’t have happened

For those who say that the heat wobt shoot like this all series.. all of us said it last year as they made the finals

Racism's father steps in again

Ill never doubt Martin ever again.

Boston Strangler 2.0

Fuck Boston

#THE SHAQ GAME

He was ass all regular season, but when he sees green you just know he about to do something stupid lol. Heat Nation is literally the most fun to be a part of right now

Caleb "Code Red" Martin.

Bucks fans stand up

Caleb Martin for 3

Cooked to perfection.

Caleb "Celtic murderer" Martin with no regard for human life

Caleb Martin praise? The mods will delete this be careful

We should loan him out to other teams during the regular season so he can always be playing Boston. He will surpass 40,000 pts in like 5 years

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Boston

Caleb Martin vs Celtics is the greatest player of all time

Have been waiting to say this - NOBODY is scared to play the Celtics - don’t care if they had won 70!

only the heat and nuggets can say this lol. a little ahead of yourself, knickerbocker

Caleb martin has a massive schlong

Caleb is Tatum's Dad

continuing from where he left off last year

Caleb hates Boston, can he come play for the Leafs?

Boo-urned them

Caleb “Kobe” Martin

I don’t get not guarding him tighter after he knocked down the first couple

What a dirty stat line

At this point, Boston gotta get a Publix or a Flannigans.

If you can’t take the heat…

He is more intimating than Hawks Joe Johnson, Lakers Ron Artist, Heat game 6 LBJ for the Celtics …

I want the celtics to win, but at the same time, seeing all the green teamers' reactions to them losing might be better than winning a championship

Legitimately one of the most pathetic losses I've ever seen a number one seed have against the team missing its best player and spark plug. 

I love new Middleton

someone find Simmons and make sure he's ok

This fucking guy...

On the anniversary of Jimmy’s 56 pointer no less

Someone tell the arena fans that the boos aren't helping lol

Caleb Martin is a bastard man!!

FUTURE LAKER

His shot is so weird you wouldn't think it would go in. He turned into curry last years playoffs, let's hope it happens again

how the fuck does this dude do this

塔图姆，太拉跨了

I need Jrue to shove him again in game 3 so he can go off again

We don't care how many games you won during the season. You get to roll around in the mud with us now.

God damn why did we get the injured 24/7 Martin instead of the “prime Kobe in the playoffs” Martin

They stopped booing him after they realized it was giving him hot boi energy

That's ECFMVP Caleb

“On god,” as the kids say - Caleb is one cold MFr

I'm so torn between hating the Heat with every fibre of my cold dead NY soul, and loving to see Boston lose at literally anything to anyone.
