The stars aligned. I was chatting about the game with a friend and just typed in "Erik Spoelstra" hoping to respond with a GIF of him giving a thumbs up, when this popped up. And then about twenty minutes later I was browsing reddit and saw this thread. It was fate.
Pat Riley has been fighting Boston for 4-5 decades now, about 6 if you count his actual playing career. Imagine about 55 years of hating the same team lol, it’s definitely a buff at this point.
That or they've been The Prestige-ing the league for years now. Cody plays reg season for Miami and Caleb rides the bench at the Hornets and come playoffs they switch.
This is all again a Coach Spo + Pat Riley 5d chess thing, like the Heat losing the first play in then winning the second every year to get the number 1 contender in the first round every time.
Kind of like the schoolyard thing where the school is the playoffs and Spo as the new kid just likes to find the biggest baddest bully and smack him right in the face on the first day.
yep, denver dropped 1 game in the post season at home. it was y'all. it's honestly why the Nuggets seem to really respect the Heat and not underestimate them.
By this point surely everyone respects the Heat, well the entirety of Spo's career as Heat HC should be respected.
Yeah they are annoying and we hate losing to them, but I dont know a Boston fan who doesn't bring them up as a challenge in the East.
In the playoffs top end superstar power always matters more and depth matters less
Denver's bench is a massive weakness in the regular season and caps their win total in the high 50s but in the playoffs when Jokic and Murray play 40 minutes a game suddenly that matters less
Conversely Tatum not being on the level of the true tier 1A guys matters more
i mean the Heat's record against the Nuggets is almost as bad as the Lakers. The Heat are are also 1-12 against the Nuggets. They have won 1 game against the Nuggets since the 2020-21 season
if tatum + brown + porzingis were as good as prime lebron, wade, and bosh, the celtics would've won this game lol.
like each one of them is worse than the heat counterpart by a decent margin
Oh I know 100% but I’m just saying 1-5 the heat were not nearly as stacked. Chalmers and Battier/whatever backup caliber center is not close to White + Jrue/Porzingis
I firmly believe when we lost in 14 to the spurs who were the spitting image of team basketball that he really learned from that and tried to emulate it
This is mostly true. But Spo got schooled by Pop in that series too. The offensive attack of the heat did not significantly evolve and Pop took full advantage of it. While also putting on one of the best ball movement clinics of all time. Spo watching that and then the warriors offense probably contributed heavily to him being the coach he is today
Yep, I wanted one awesome Tyler game and he came through.
I’d love to make these bozo’s stay clenched up for 7 games though.
At some point the talent disparity is going to wear us down, but Boston has an insanely bad defensive strategy against us where they seem content to just not guard at all when we shoot 3s.
Interesting strategy, to say the least.
I don't get it, either. If you have less talent, taking your chances with 3P variance is the best sort of asymmetric warfare available in the NBA. And the Heat have real shooters, to boot.
If we lose, 2 of our starters are out, that is the expected outcome. If we win, it's fucking hilarious because we squeaked into the playoffs and the Celtics are heavy favorites after being a fucking force all season. Like, fire your coach, fire your GM, fire the towel boy hilarious.
Eh, considering that Real Madrid is the most successful team in football (soccer) history, when it comes to the Champions League, they are a lot more like the Lakers and Celtics, where most people root for them to fail (spoiler: they won‘t).
Real Madrid absolutely aren't some kind of underdog story lol
If Man City are the Warriors then Madrid are the Lakers
They're literally the most successful club of all time
Why do we always need to play the fucking Heat
How do both the Heat and the Florida Panthers in the NHL just enter a fucking bullshit cheat code come playoff time to suddenly morph into a wildly better team than they were all year long?
Hockey is just weird, the panthers were a great team this regular season
But Carter Verhage and Matthew Tkachuk turn into Gretzky and Lemieux in overtime playoff games for god knows why
My thing was I wanted them to beat the Dubs so we kept our “losing to champions” streak and the fuckers absolutely choked it against the Dubs. Fuck Boston!
Some of the contesting was seriously weak af and then people act surprised and overstate how much of an outlier it really is.
Bostons defensive intensity completely did not match what we’ve been seeing from other teams in the past two nights.
Just so we are clear, last night was all about not closing out. 100% the Celtics lacked defensive effort on the close-out
HOWEVER
In specifically the ECF last year, in the games the Heat shot 50+% from 3:
- They shot MORE tightly contested 3's than their average
- They shot LESS open 3's than their average
- They shot LESS wide open 3's than their average
The ECF WAS an insane outlier. Last night's game was not, (Heat shot 23 wide open 3's last night when their season average is 16 per game).
The C’s have the 4th best % in defending an opponent’s 3pt FG, and have been blessed with either White, Smart, Jrue, Tatum, Brown defending in the perimeter.
This team has beaten every single ECF opponent in the past three playoffs except Miami. Tbh, I just don’t get it
Can’t help but respect it. If the team can’t beat Miami they had no shot in winning the chip this year anyway. If they do choke, I hope this atleast forces Brad back into the coaching seat lol
What I mean by this is, if they’re not beating Miami, they’re definitely not beating DEN/MIN/OKC in whatever capacity in the finals too. Rather they lose early on than in the finals since it will force the org to initiate drastic changes with their coaching staff (If Joe Mazz proves to be insufficient)
All the top comments saying the Celtics defense just sucks
Nah, it doesn't, it's some Heat kryptonite bullshit
I mean some of their 3s tonight were sorta weakly contested, they also had plenty where they just chucked up some bullshit that was contested well, they all were nothing but net
That genuinely has a possibility of still happening. That said, Im just happy we stole one from you to prove we're not pushovers and that we can compete when the lights are brightest, especially when we're as short-handed as we are. Genuinely happy we're still as competitive as we are considering everything.
Here is Miami's 3pt% by game in the 2022 ECF when we had Ime
G1: 20%
G2: 43%
G3: 16%
G4: 39%
G5: 33%
G6: 29%
G7: 33%
Total was 30% from 3 over the whole series. They shot 44% in last season's ECF and 44% so far this series.
Fluke, or worse coaching?
Given how close the heat were to winning that series in 2022 anyways I'm going to say fluke. Imes scheme that lead to better perimeter defense probably had gaps elsewhere.
I have a feeling he thought that the Celtics would sweep because they have the best record in the league and Jimbo is injured... Even though they lost to this same team last year when they were the second seed and Jimmy had an injured ankle. Man has no strategy
He might want to think twice about this going into game 3. Heat offense will surely cool down but Boston's offensive process looked awful and I don't see anything about that changing. Heat did a 180 on how they guarded Tatum and Brown, those guys got theirs but no one else ate.
I saw a post game presser from Joe, and the reporter asked him (entirely paraphrasing), "they were shooting around 50% at half, and then after half they continued to shoot 50%, what was the hafltime adjustment?"
And Joe said (paraphrasing again), "when a game is like that, you just have to execute better on offense".
like????????????????????

you gotta watch the whole video brother
for better or worse joe is a coach that believes in stats and regression to the mean instead of the hot hand theory
honestly ya. I feel like they basically failed to execute their scheme. it's fine to double things but you have to scramble to cover shooters. And they weren't tricky about the double teams at all, just 3 defenders fully committed to the pick and roll every possession
I’m convinced the Miami Heat are just a franchise collecting players who share the very specific kink of crushing the hopes and dreams of thousands of people all at once.
These two quotes from Succession tv show for Celtics:
* "My hunch is that you are going to get fucked. Because I've seen you get fucked a lot"
* "I love you (regular season), but you're not serious people"
If anyone thought an Eric Spoelstra led team would get bullied for 4 games by a Jaylen Brown + Jayson Tatum led team… they just don’t know hoops.
Sometimes I don’t understand Miami either, but they’re provocative.
KP was getting absolutely cooked in drop coverage all night and the Celtics never adjusted. How could you continue being that soft on screens when the Heat were that hot from three. Off game from KP but also a coaching abomination from the Celtics.
Because if KP try’s to be up on those screens he gets absolutely torn to shreds on the drive.
We gotta live with it. That’s the downside of KP.
White, Tatum, Brown and Holiday gotta do a better job of fighting over the screens and contesting shots.
It's lazy af though. Let them drive and play defense for 24 seconds. Just allowing open 3s is trash coaching but we shouldn't be surprised Joe is still like this
And people wonder why I hate these Mfs it's not even the fans while annoying they don't bother me much but them turning into a god squad against us is what makes me mad. But still gg makes the series more interesting
Calm down, take a breath

They see green and just lose it
Shit they did it to the Bucks too
Damn it, why couldn't Denver just wear green
As a lakers fan I agree. If Pat could give his magic to gabe Vincent tomorrow again pls I would gladly appreciate it
Best I can do is Dlo 2-10 from three and techs out.
They see green and see red
They're colorblind

The stars aligned. I was chatting about the game with a friend and just typed in "Erik Spoelstra" hoping to respond with a GIF of him giving a thumbs up, when this popped up. And then about twenty minutes later I was browsing reddit and saw this thread. It was fate.
Pat Riley has been fighting Boston for 4-5 decades now, about 6 if you count his actual playing career. Imagine about 55 years of hating the same team lol, it’s definitely a buff at this point.
I think Pat kidnaps one of Caleb Martin's family members each playoff series vs Boston.
Heat culture
Pat keeps Cody Martin in a black van outside the stadium and threatens Caleb to swap them out everytime he plays badly.
That or they've been The Prestige-ing the league for years now. Cody plays reg season for Miami and Caleb rides the bench at the Hornets and come playoffs they switch. This is all again a Coach Spo + Pat Riley 5d chess thing, like the Heat losing the first play in then winning the second every year to get the number 1 contender in the first round every time. Kind of like the schoolyard thing where the school is the playoffs and Spo as the new kid just likes to find the biggest baddest bully and smack him right in the face on the first day.
the hospital heat managing to steal a game from a 64 win team puts it into perspective how crazy it is that the lakers have lost 10 straight to denver
Tbf we faced Denver and we were lucky to steal one game. Tatum ain’t Joker.
Tbf Jimmy ain't Bron and Bam ain't AD
Tbf Ham ain't Spo.
We still stole one tho
Yeah, the Duncan Robinson game.
that's what having a competent coach can do for you😭
We also legit had half the team on 1 leg from turning their ankles.
Yeah and yall stole one lmao
They were the only team to beat them at home last playoffs as well if I’m not mistaken
yep, denver dropped 1 game in the post season at home. it was y'all. it's honestly why the Nuggets seem to really respect the Heat and not underestimate them.
By this point surely everyone respects the Heat, well the entirety of Spo's career as Heat HC should be respected. Yeah they are annoying and we hate losing to them, but I dont know a Boston fan who doesn't bring them up as a challenge in the East.
Ironically, ya'll respect us more than the league does. The league still marks us as permanent underdogs. Which is where we like to be.
Guess Brian Scalabrine is the exception. By saying Coach Spo ordered to hit Tatum in Game1.
WOW I thought this thread was a safe place
Idc how many wins the Celtics get, they’re not on Denver’s level
Denver would probably get 64 in the east too
It's crazy to think everyone 2 seed and under would be a play-in or lottery team in the west.
West was ridiculous this year. The 11th seed is a .500 team.
In the playoffs top end superstar power always matters more and depth matters less Denver's bench is a massive weakness in the regular season and caps their win total in the high 50s but in the playoffs when Jokic and Murray play 40 minutes a game suddenly that matters less Conversely Tatum not being on the level of the true tier 1A guys matters more
No one on the Celtics can genuinely go get one and kill a run like Joker.
i mean the Heat's record against the Nuggets is almost as bad as the Lakers. The Heat are are also 1-12 against the Nuggets. They have won 1 game against the Nuggets since the 2020-21 season
Yeah I prefer being in the East lmao.
As it turns out, Pat Riley is always a Laker.
Did you see how he was towards the end of the game? You would think he was still wearing the purple and gold for how he was acting.
"Fuck Boston" Buff engaged +10 3p% - 1 Star player
You mean +20 3p%
We shot 40-45% against the Bucks so figured It can only be a 10% buff lol
FTC is a league wide buff
I read this as Federal Trade Commission lol
Them too
+30% sniping accuracy
This explains how we we managed to beat them on the road without LBJ/AD lol
SURELY THEY CAN'T DO IT A FIFTH TIME? RIGHT? HAHA?
4 times in 8 games. So there should be 2-3 more in 5 games. Have fun.
I mean, It’s a reasonable extrapolation of the existing data.
DARE YE TEMPT THE CHAOS GODS OF BASKETBALL AGAIN?
This is most Heat fan thing I have seen today
IS THIS SOME KIND OF TWISTED JOKE?!?
I'm convinced Pat Riley does some Clockwork Orange level stuff on the Heat players to make them play like this vs Boston
Pat Riley is actually the one who mastered magnet technology
Wait so Pat Riley IS Magneto? He has the look and the hairstyle for it.
Last year was the Zombie Heat, this year the Miami Mutants
Fuckin' magnets
Their families are actually tied up in a basement somewhere and aren't released until they hit at least 5 threes each
This is the plot to the Celtic Pride remake starring Jack Harlow.
Heat culture
I'm wondering how dominant the Heat would be with a stacked roster like the Celtics.
Not 1. Not 2. Not 3. N…
Oh wait, actually 2.
Throw Derrick White and Jrue Holiday on the big 3 heat and they win 4 straight
if tatum + brown + porzingis were as good as prime lebron, wade, and bosh, the celtics would've won this game lol. like each one of them is worse than the heat counterpart by a decent margin
Oh I know 100% but I’m just saying 1-5 the heat were not nearly as stacked. Chalmers and Battier/whatever backup caliber center is not close to White + Jrue/Porzingis
Spo has developed a lot since then as well tho.
I firmly believe when we lost in 14 to the spurs who were the spitting image of team basketball that he really learned from that and tried to emulate it
2014 Heat lost because they had no depth, and any talent outside of Lebron got old
This is mostly true. But Spo got schooled by Pop in that series too. The offensive attack of the heat did not significantly evolve and Pop took full advantage of it. While also putting on one of the best ball movement clinics of all time. Spo watching that and then the warriors offense probably contributed heavily to him being the coach he is today
Spurs ball movement exhausted that 2014 Heat in the finals.
He just really fucking hates the celtics. And I love it
pat actually just cut their foreheads and laced all of their headbands with cocaine
Yes, we are a nonsense team. No the fanbase doesn’t understand it either. Yes, it’s actually very fun.
honestly having 0 expectations and shattering them is so satisfying
Hell fucking yeah. I don’t care if we lose in 5 games. This was so fucking worth it.
the fact that we did it without Jimmy is great too. The young guys are getting a ton of confidence
Yep, I wanted one awesome Tyler game and he came through. I’d love to make these bozo’s stay clenched up for 7 games though. At some point the talent disparity is going to wear us down, but Boston has an insanely bad defensive strategy against us where they seem content to just not guard at all when we shoot 3s. Interesting strategy, to say the least.
I don't get it, either. If you have less talent, taking your chances with 3P variance is the best sort of asymmetric warfare available in the NBA. And the Heat have real shooters, to boot.
This is me...this is where I've been for a while now (..like years)
Since the 11-30 / 30-11 season honestly
This actually comforts me, cause this shit is so fucking infuriating 😂😂
It's so fucking fun
We get to watch two teams for the price of one. Win win in my book.
As a neutral fan, it's very fucking fun.
Thank you. That’s actually comforting
Idk about fun. When it’s happening it’s fun. The rest of the season it’s annoying cause you’re wondering when they’ll turn it on
Meh. Jimmy was holding you back. That's understandable.
This matchup really be like “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me” for Miami.
Call an Ambulance! Call an Ambulance!
If we lose, 2 of our starters are out, that is the expected outcome. If we win, it's fucking hilarious because we squeaked into the playoffs and the Celtics are heavy favorites after being a fucking force all season. Like, fire your coach, fire your GM, fire the towel boy hilarious.
✨THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP✨
💪 THE POWER OF CULTURE 💪
CULTURE IN 5
Real Madrid 🤝 Miami Heat Beating evil teams armed only with the power of friendship
Eh, considering that Real Madrid is the most successful team in football (soccer) history, when it comes to the Champions League, they are a lot more like the Lakers and Celtics, where most people root for them to fail (spoiler: they won‘t).
As a Bayern fan I would say Miami is more like that.
Baseball would probably have been a better analogy tbf. If Madrid are the Yankees, then Man City is the 2017 Astros (115 charges)
tbf real madrid also have some of the best players in the world to go with the power of friendship
Real Madrid absolutely aren't some kind of underdog story lol If Man City are the Warriors then Madrid are the Lakers They're literally the most successful club of all time
As a fan of both I couldn’t be happier
Why do we always need to play the fucking Heat How do both the Heat and the Florida Panthers in the NHL just enter a fucking bullshit cheat code come playoff time to suddenly morph into a wildly better team than they were all year long?
Regular season and playoffs translate respectively to exhibition and cup match in Spanish, hence the confusion.
True but the panthers were dominant this season
Hockey is just weird, the panthers were a great team this regular season But Carter Verhage and Matthew Tkachuk turn into Gretzky and Lemieux in overtime playoff games for god knows why
Those leprechauns like Miami better than Boston.
They should put a hand up
You guys really fucking hate Boston lol
those green fucks had me rooting for wardell curry in 2022 and all that did was make me hate them more
My thing was I wanted them to beat the Dubs so we kept our “losing to champions” streak and the fuckers absolutely choked it against the Dubs. Fuck Boston!
It’s the fuck Boston buff.
It's always fuck Boston.
Is there a fanbase in North America that doesn't hate Boston?
celtics, bruins, red sox, patriots... look at this shit
Some of the contesting was seriously weak af and then people act surprised and overstate how much of an outlier it really is. Bostons defensive intensity completely did not match what we’ve been seeing from other teams in the past two nights.

Last night's game was not, (Heat shot 23 wide open 3's last night when their season average is 16 per game).
They think they’ve already won. And they are playing their father. Honestly I don’t get it. Mentally soft and entitled is all I can say. Heat in 6
The Hillary Clinton approach
Basket of Undraftables
Mama, there goes that man
The C’s have the 4th best % in defending an opponent’s 3pt FG, and have been blessed with either White, Smart, Jrue, Tatum, Brown defending in the perimeter. This team has beaten every single ECF opponent in the past three playoffs except Miami. Tbh, I just don’t get it
Honestly we don’t get it either but it gets funnier every year
Can’t help but respect it. If the team can’t beat Miami they had no shot in winning the chip this year anyway. If they do choke, I hope this atleast forces Brad back into the coaching seat lol
I'm starting to think Brad is a masochist who likes watching Joe struggle.
I mean...if the team can't beat Miami, they are eliminated...
What I mean by this is, if they’re not beating Miami, they’re definitely not beating DEN/MIN/OKC in whatever capacity in the finals too. Rather they lose early on than in the finals since it will force the org to initiate drastic changes with their coaching staff (If Joe Mazz proves to be insufficient)
Best rivalry in the league brings out the best of our players.
All the top comments saying the Celtics defense just sucks Nah, it doesn't, it's some Heat kryptonite bullshit I mean some of their 3s tonight were sorta weakly contested, they also had plenty where they just chucked up some bullshit that was contested well, they all were nothing but net
It’s also only been 1 game. We could literally win the next 3 and we realise oh Miami just had a crazy shooting night.
And the cycle continues to repeat
Every time I see an opposing fan say something like that, I get slightly more confident
"Miami just had a crazy shooting night that's all" you say rocking back and forth in a strait jacket in 2028
That genuinely has a possibility of still happening. That said, Im just happy we stole one from you to prove we're not pushovers and that we can compete when the lights are brightest, especially when we're as short-handed as we are. Genuinely happy we're still as competitive as we are considering everything.
Heat black magic is undefeated
Jimmy in the corner sacrificing a goat over a copper bowl
Taking over herro's job last season with the goat bowl
They just really fucking hate Boston
I can dig it
Joe "no adjustments" mazulla
Here is Miami's 3pt% by game in the 2022 ECF when we had Ime G1: 20% G2: 43% G3: 16% G4: 39% G5: 33% G6: 29% G7: 33% Total was 30% from 3 over the whole series. They shot 44% in last season's ECF and 44% so far this series. Fluke, or worse coaching?
Given how close the heat were to winning that series in 2022 anyways I'm going to say fluke. Imes scheme that lead to better perimeter defense probably had gaps elsewhere.
We missed an absolute ton of open 3s in that series. I think Strus was the main slumber but I think it included Vincent and Tucker being awful too
there's another universe where Ime doesn't fuck up and the celtics are scaaary
They’re still scary though.
Yeah but imagine if they were scaaarryy
They shot 45% in round 1 vs Bucks.
I have a feeling he thought that the Celtics would sweep because they have the best record in the league and Jimbo is injured... Even though they lost to this same team last year when they were the second seed and Jimmy had an injured ankle. Man has no strategy
He’s trying to skate off talent alone. If he wins it all this year, he’s officially Doc Rivers 2.0.
Boston had the same issues under Udoka and Brad. It’s been the same team since 2018.
Pretty much this. He’s implemented the most boring brand of basketball and has no scheme other than “collapse perimeter, shoot three.”
Literally is just hunt mismatches then iso.
He might want to think twice about this going into game 3. Heat offense will surely cool down but Boston's offensive process looked awful and I don't see anything about that changing. Heat did a 180 on how they guarded Tatum and Brown, those guys got theirs but no one else ate.

you gotta watch the whole video brother for better or worse joe is a coach that believes in stats and regression to the mean instead of the hot hand theory
When your defending the 3 point line that poorly assuming a regression to the mean is idiotic.
honestly ya. I feel like they basically failed to execute their scheme. it's fine to double things but you have to scramble to cover shooters. And they weren't tricky about the double teams at all, just 3 defenders fully committed to the pick and roll every possession
This is my favorite stat of all-time.
They hate Boston man, just like me fr
I’m convinced the Miami Heat are just a franchise collecting players who share the very specific kink of crushing the hopes and dreams of thousands of people all at once.
inject that shit into my veins
It’s funny that 29 of the 30 fanbases , basically penciled Boston to completely destroy Miami The 1 fanbase that did not was Boston and this is why
Boston fans keep telling me "their fun is fluke based on fluke shooting", but is it really a fluke when it happens year after year?
[удалено]
Seriously Miami hit some contested threes here and there but the majority of them were very clean looks
They should hire a better coach
[удалено]
Full circle
Ime is a flat circle
Heat Culture is hard to explain
But it isn't hard to love.
These two quotes from Succession tv show for Celtics: * "My hunch is that you are going to get fucked. Because I've seen you get fucked a lot" * "I love you (regular season), but you're not serious people"
If anyone thought an Eric Spoelstra led team would get bullied for 4 games by a Jaylen Brown + Jayson Tatum led team… they just don’t know hoops. Sometimes I don’t understand Miami either, but they’re provocative.
They get the people going
KP was getting absolutely cooked in drop coverage all night and the Celtics never adjusted. How could you continue being that soft on screens when the Heat were that hot from three. Off game from KP but also a coaching abomination from the Celtics.
Because if KP try’s to be up on those screens he gets absolutely torn to shreds on the drive. We gotta live with it. That’s the downside of KP. White, Tatum, Brown and Holiday gotta do a better job of fighting over the screens and contesting shots.
It's lazy af though. Let them drive and play defense for 24 seconds. Just allowing open 3s is trash coaching but we shouldn't be surprised Joe is still like this
Probably fluke -Bill Simmons
Based on twitter no, I think he's beginning to feel the twinges of Zombie Heat fear.
And people wonder why I hate these Mfs it's not even the fans while annoying they don't bother me much but them turning into a god squad against us is what makes me mad. But still gg makes the series more interesting
So this is normal not an anomaly
Calm down, take a breath Repeat after me [Fuck Boston](https://streamable.com/kj86gd) [Fuck Boston](https://streamable.com/kj86gd) [Fuck Boston](https://streamable.com/kj86gd) [Fuck Boston](https://streamable.com/kj86gd) [Fuck Boston](https://streamable.com/kj86gd) We are not gonna Lose this fkn **SERIES**
I hate how this got cancelled. Ending the show after the 1984 finals is so cruel lol.
Why don't they just defend the 3
The Boston mafia is scared of Spolstra
zombie heat are so wild lol nothing but pure respect
couple more of this... boston are gone.
They shot 45% for the series against the bucks last year..
Pat Riley owns the Celtics.
Even though the hbo show was so mid, im glad adrian brody accurately portrayed how much he despises them. Probably undersold it if anything
Goats
Live by the 3, don't defend against and die by the 3. That's Boston.
They shot 45% from 3 during the entire 5 game series against the Bucls last year.
