The celtics (especially White) had nothing on their except getting the dub. To be able to play effectively under that much pressure is just inspiring. Insane!

Kawhi rubbin his hands like birdman rn, Jimmy boutta take the title for the biggest choke job in nba history
I wish Lakers could do that to make Lakers vs Celtics π’
Miami just blew a 3-0 lead. Trash. Doesnβt matter Denver sweeping both teams. Just give them the championship already
These are the moments that bring alive why we love this game so much. I am hoping the heat take the π but those Celtics sure as hell a blast to watch battle.
Why they have "MIA wins series 4-2" loaded up above the score already???
if the Boston didnβt challenge the last foul on jimmy there would be 2.1 seconds and that shot would have not counted π€―
