    I know Jaylen Brown got exposed in the finals last year bc he couldn’t dribble but Jesus, he was like the worst player out there

    Caleb Martin had the best series by a role ever I’ve ever seen. Just unbelievable

  2. homefree122

    This series was all just an elaborate ruse by the Heat to punk the entire sports world into thinking the Celtics would actually pull off the 0-3 comeback.

  3. ProfessorBeast55

    Caleb Martin in game 7 last season: DNP

    Caleb Martin in game 7 today: Best player on the court (maybe even the series)

  5. RabbitWolfie

    What a fun and odd series. So many agendas and material for years to come and I love it

  7. asapshrank

    Bam Adebayo has been saved from generational slander…

    for now.

    HAHAHAHAHAHHA

    JITTERBUG

    HAHAHAHAHAH

    CELTICS

    HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

    JB DRIBBLING

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  9. MediocreTake

    Tatum went as far as rolling his ankle to complete the 2004 Red Sox metaphor but the Celtics forgot they were supposed to win

  12. burtmaklin1

    Jimmy knew getting swept wasn’t embarrassing enough. Getting swept? Happens all the time. Losing at home after coming back from 0-3? Now that’s next level demoralization. Only now does Boston have his permission to die.

  13. iCarpet

    Tatum: “Why the charade? Why let us win 3 games?”

    Butler: “To give Boston hope”

    Tatum: “Hope?”

    Butler: “So I can rip it away from them”

  16. frumbledown

    Look, it’s easy to make jokes about the Celtics choking.

    And fun too

  18. KemptonS

    Imagine getting your back blown out at home in a game 7 💀

  19. phbstudent

    “Don’t let us get one more”

    “Okay” Caleb Martin

  20. EaglesPvM

    Blown out in game 7.

    I couldn’t imagine that happening to my team

  21. NoseBlind2

    BREAKING: NBA announces 3rd place 7 game series of Lakers vs Celtics which will be televised at prime time on national television.

    NBA finals have been delegated to 4am on the History channel

  22. dustinharm

    It’s here. The funniest possible outcome. Thank you basketball gods.

  23. Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

    “Giannis Antetokoumpo over me!?”

    “Jalen Brunson over me!?”

    “Tobias Harris over me!?”

    “Derrick White over me!?” <- You are here

    “Nikola Jokic over me!?”

    “Erik Spoelstra over me!?”

    “Adam Silver over me!?”

    “James Naismith over me!?”

  24. turtledove21

    i personally think winning like this is way funnier than winning in 4, 5 or 6

  25. haduken_69

    How TF are you an NBA wing and can’t dribble?

  26. JenniferLopezFan2

    Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by the 2023 Miami Heat

  27. TheAgGatsby

    When the only thinging stopping you from going to your second NBA finals in a row is a 2-3 zone and Caleb fucking Martin

  29. NotWilll

    The Celtics still have a 20% chance to win the finals according to ESPN

  30. SPC54

    Force a Game 7 after going down 0-3 in the series, against a team you were *heavily* favoured to beat, coming off of two dominant team performances in Games 4 & 5, along with a possible all-time buzzer beater by Derrick White to stave off elimination in Game 6… and the Celtics do *THAT.*

    I was rooting for the Heat in this series, but what the actual fuck was that, Celtics?

    Tatum injuring his ankle at the very start of the game is downright awful luck, but nobody else on the team bothered to show up when it mattered most.

    (Also, Spo taking a T/O after Boston cut the lead to 18 with less than 4 mins left is absolutely hilarious.)

  33. ianbits

    The Heat looked like they knew exactly what defense the Celtics were coming out in and just obliterated it all night. The fact that Butler and Bam were mid and this was still a blowout should put a stop to this narrative that it’s just Butler going Ultra Instinct, this is a good TEAM.

  34. Rizzzem

    Derrick White’s shot will be lost in forgotten NBA lore now

  35. SolarClipz

    Miami really toyed around with their food for 3 games just to rip their souls out at home lol

    Revenge for last year

    If the 0-3 didn’t happen tonight, it never will

    The record will never be broken folks

  37. Pismiire

    “Don’t let us get first class” – Marcus Smart booking tickets to Cancun

  38. Legndarystig

    Miami doing everyone a solid letting the series go to 7 so we can enjoy TNT broadcast before running into that ESPN on ABC trainwreck…

  39. TheHonPhilipBanks

    bird and magic awards given on the road to the other teams

  40. lemoncough

    THE REAL QUESTION WAS WHICH TIMEOUT TAUNT PICTURE WOULD LIVE ON FAMOUSLY, AND WHICH IN INFAMY

    WE HAVE OUR ANSWER

  42. rookie-mistake

    lmao are they about to hand Butler a fucking *Larry Bird* trophy in Boston right now? the fucking scenes this series just keeps giving hahaha

  43. Ehxcalibur

    Spo’s face fuckin took me out when Bam mentioned the inspirational video

    *YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO SAY ANYTHING*

  44. lotsofdeadkittens

    Notice how every heat player mentions Coach Spo first when they get asked about their team success? Really a different class of coach he is
