Been watching for 6 minutes and I’ve already counted like 7 blatant fouls the Cs have gotten away with lol
Boston’s gonna choke this one.
That Struss , harford collision was something. If harford was Draymond – he’d get ejected
This ref-assisted comeback feels like 2016
I’m like, is celts going to do it??
naaahhhhhh
caleb martin is so good lmao
Brown pushes Lowry in the back to keep him from getting the rebound and then somehow ends up being the one to go to the FT line and cries playing victim lol where have we seen this song and dance before (on more than one occasion 😭)?!
It’s crazy how the Celtics get to play as physical as they want, while the Heat are getting called for the smallest shit.
Celtics get soft calls but are allowed to hack. Game 7 confirmed. Adam Silver needs his dreams fulfilled.
OMG THESE REFS
Celtics getting all the calls lol. Nothing can beat the Silver Advantage
So glad Gabe Vincent’s back. Primarily because he’s been fun as hell to watch, but also because him playing heel to Celtics ref ball is/will be delicious to watch.
You can always tell when the refs try to rig the game, they give the team 25+ more fts than the other.
Tatum initiated all of that contact lol absolute BS
Lol but that wasn’t a foul by the Celtics? K
The Celtics have 12 FTAs already. TWELVE.
celtics in 7!!! need that reverse sweep so everyone can clown the bum ass heat
Celtics probably have this in the bag lol, Miami looks like ass
refs dickriding the Celtics lmao
Heat really going to blow a 3-0 lead
If Boston win this game it’s over, they’ll blow them out in game 7.
Crazy choke job from the heat if it happens
C’mon I hate these Celtics players.
Lol I’m sorry the Celtics huddle during a TO with 6 minutes left to go in just the 2nd quarter was about reminding each other not to settle and that they have more in the tank?! Sweet basketball god Jesus I hope so lol how is that the huddle talk so early in the game??
Jimmy G Buckets. the G stands for GET reverse swept. heat regressing to the mean and finally showing who they are really are bum ass 8th seed lol
Miami should’ve closed this out when they had the chance lol
The Heat have now been adequately scared straight about attempting any kind of defense whatsoever. Phase 1 of the refs’ job is complete.
RIP Heat if they lose this game…
Silver having ptsd flashbacks of the 2021 finals ratings with two small market teams, hes not gonna let it happen again lol
imagine boston forces a game 7 but just to lose in the garden lmao
NBA got scared of the potential ratings for DEN vs MIA, so they pulled a 2016 with the refs
Adebayo and Butler get hacked but you put a finger on Tatum it’s a foul
Maybe start calling some of these damn rebounding fouls the Celtics are committing on every single missed FGA now refs
YOU CANT BE SERIOUS…the Celtics straight tackle the heat on the other end every rebound with no whistle and they call THAT rebounding foul on the heat?! I’m about to throw my phone/remote/anything in reach at my TV lol I can’t even imagine how Heat fans feel…actually lol that’s a lie, I absolutely can because it’s exactly how we all felt in rounds 1 and 2
Tatum with the audacity and zero shame…SVG and Reggie stfu his body went right into Butler’s path lol give me a break
Broadcasters are talking about Tatum like he’s MJ in his prime 😂😂😂
RiP through foul is so wack man
Cheap af rip through with Reggie acting like that’s Martin being dumb and committing some egregious foul when it’s Tatum using a cheap as shit tactic instead of trying to actually get a bucket 🙄
Bam and Butler need to step it up
Fix is in. Heat can’t play defense with all these weak fouls.
Neither of these teams are beating Denver
