We have a zone buster now its Kp their kryptonote
Game 1 is important because if Miami steals it there will be so much negativity. So very hopeful the team comes out strong and does not play down to the heat and does not let go of the rope. Win and win big. Let’s go! ☘️💪🏆
You should get jack or Sam on from “How about Them Celtics”….one of my favs
Heat fan hate watching here. U guys are putting a lot of pressure on the unicorn hope he doesn't get in foul trouble guarding Bam that would make u real small. Just sayjng
HA! If I EVER had any fear of the Heat, I for sure wouldn't start to after hearing that even the Heat's OWN podcaster at Locked-On, was too scared of Boston to even join in a cross-over podcast…what!?! That's hilarious…! Someone needs to tell the Miami players about this one, LOL!!! Cause I'm sure they will…!!! Kinda makes me wonder if any will have the guts to show up at the Garden tomorrow, hmm, Heat fans?
Remember Miami…
Just 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 wins in the playoffs = Banner 18 hanging in the rafters at TD Garden…again…!!!
Spoelstra will throw the zone at us (again) obviously and Miami will create as much chaos on the defensive end as possible. People took Adebayo’s comments from last night as a threat that they’re going to try & purposely hurt someone. I just don’t see it. I do however believe it’s going to be scrappy & things like second chance points, turnovers & the like will be important. Interested to see if Brissy & X will get any significant time seeing that both are good on the glass and give you those hustle plays. Postseason is finally here! 🙏🏻💚☘️
John why did you make the prediction
FanDuel Sportsbook -8000 Boston to beat Miami. 🙏🍀💚
Heat are gunna get cooked
Yall acting all tough knowing Jimmy Butler is out along with our starting pg in Rozier , yall are supposed to win , but will you ? All the pressure is on Boston Miami is here to kill all your championship dreams year after year
Cs should come with full force and show can be physical and tough mentally and physically….. hopefully macula will coach lol he is the weak ring of this team
Celtics lucky Jimmy got injured or Heat would whoop their ass like in 20 and 23 only series Boston beat them in was 22 and that's cause Strus got a 3 overturned 7 minutes after it went in
Even if Jimmy buckets was playing, Miami has no Hope.
Hello, new listener. Who did you play for in the NBA? Wanted to see your stats and such. You might have already said it 100 times but I never heard. Thanks again.
☘️☘️☘️💪🏾
☘️☘️👊
Your not sweeping anything,are you god do you know the future,ok blabby
Jimmy Butler make a surprise appearance
Remeber they said last year that miami have only 3% percentage on wining againts boston….. Damn sheeet happned…
I don't know, I just don't feel good about the Celtics right now. They haven't played meaningful games in some time whereas these other teams have been playing hard. I feel like our nightmare scenario is going to happen like Heat in 6
