wow heat came a long way
Yep this series is over in 5, it’s too late for Boston to comeback now.
Let’s get ready for the finals
Jimmy’s playoff mentality is something next level. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jokic or Jimmy…man it's gonna be hard choosing who to root for. Gonna be an amazing series. Both players joker and Jimmy deserves this one, but if the Heat and Jimmy win it all it will be such a legendary playoff run for the Heat and Jimmy. One for the book for sure🔥💪🥇
😊😊😊
Maybe the guy not called Tim Legler should wear less makeup, how about that?
If Boston wins the next game, and of course they are capable to do so, then all the pressure is on Miami. Maybe it won't be a total comeback from the Celtics, but if I were a Heat fan, wouldn't celebrate this early.
they better!! .. for fucks sake 😅
I think also with Jimmy butler taunting the Celtics in game 3 is what really motivated the Celtics in game 4
Media is bored
Lol the disrespect to the Heat is crazy. Every sports show will do 10000 segments about a Celtics win but will never do a segment on the Heat until they HAVE to lol. Even then it’s about how the Celtics collapsed in a loss instead of praising the Heat 😂
All i am going to say is Miami and Denver in the finals sort of David and Goliath is going to be a good series ENOUGH SAID!!!
ESPN couldn’t wait for Boston to win a game. All I’ve been seeing is how they will destroy the heat in the coming games, the heat won 3 games and never got any respect.
The most scary part here is that there only one game left in Miami, and the C’s are won the last two elimination games in Miami. Game 7 of last year ECF, and game 4 of this year, which mean there zero nerves on the Celtics players. Scary isn’t it?
Imagine being up 3-1 and people talking about what your weaknesses are
Why is everyone forgetting Miami already beat Boston at home in this series …… twice !!!
GENIUS 👏👏👏👏👏
It’s over. Celtics have all the momentum and the pressure is on Miami. 4 straight is coming
More Legler please and ty
The Celtics won't allow to close the series without winning at home, they're too proud, not like the Lakers🏀
Game turned early 3rd quarter. Kevin love obvious steal on tatum. Refs bailed out tatum, Heat would up by 11 w momentum. Boston hit 3 straight 3s. Boston did great job getting offensive rebounds. Downside they shoot too many 3s. Can horford n grant continue, we will see. Def helps nba $$$$$$$$$$$$
last game was worrying, Celtics were shooting the 3 like crazy, while the heat were cold on the offensive end and commiting turnovers.
crazy how they forget my Heat beat the NUMBER 1 seed in the Bucks in FIVE games. Of course they can close out the Celtics in 5 as well.
Let's see if nba rigid this game they probably fined the whole heat team rite before tip off lol like they couldn't do that on there off day 🤣
After all, the NBA is a “make-or-miss league.”
butler and company do like being underdogs. they dont want to be like to be in position in game 4 that they are favored to win and odds on their side. when they r underdogs thats when their scary and game 5 they are in that position. its like when everybody was against them butler and company just like exploded and shooting shots
ESPN wants the Celtics to win so bad, it’s pathetic
Heat thrive on adversity.
Adam said we need another game
Perkins: "As long as Boston makes more shots than Miami, they'll have a good chance to win."
🤔🤣
If the heat wins the next game, its over lol
The Heat will win the next game and shut down all this nonsense you hear from the media!
With the boston team finally waking up, I don’t see any chance that the heat can win another game.
Tatum vs Jokic would be a great series
Boston weakness is turnover
SO MUCH DISRESPECT 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ it’s such a clown-fare of commentators who hate what the heat have proven and shown
Maybe “just maybe” it isn’t about the Celtics and what they haven’t done
Maybe “JUST MAYBE” 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ it’s actually about how Miami as a team are actually the “BETTER TEAM” irrelevant of talent accolades who have shut down the Celtics ability to play at their pace and shutting down Tatum and flow of offense by playing better elite defense and offense 💯
ESPN should stop talking about this series as “bias fans” passing on a bias manipulative narrative and start to actually analyze these teams based on this postseason performance wins 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Boston had 1 good game and they acting like miami gonna fold. they really pushing the celtics down everyone’s throat
This delusion has become too much…
The odds that a Celtics team lead by a rookie coach will win 3 more games IN A ROW against a Heat team coached by Spo would be a an all time fumble
They'll probably close out in 6. Then ppl will underestimate them against Denver
Tatum isn't going to overcome his inconsistancies overnight.
If they played the same way as game 4, Boston is definitely coming back to turn things around and make history in 7.
