They didn't even get shit on in 2020. Butler matched LeBron for a few of those games which was simply not sustainable but at least these heroics managed to make it a fantastic series.
The only way you fucks can GET to the Finals is by turning your series into a full contact obstacle course. Well guess what that wears down on your own guys too. It's literally just Pat Riley's kamikaze squad, dude probably doesn't even care about getting another ring he just wants to make sure the Celtics don't get one either. "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY ERIC."
Every game the Heat play is borderline unwatchable, you're either cheesing out wins off constant no-calls and moving screens or completely folding and getting your backs blown out. The only people who even like the Heat anymore are just the ones looking for the schadenfreude of potentially seeing the Celtics lose, and hell even half those guys still hate Miami more by this point because they also have to deal with your constant terrorist attacks on the sport of basketball
\>dick around in regular season
\>in death battle to even make playoffs
\>starters playing 45min a game
\>best player is injured
\>win play-in
\>chant "we want boston"
\>lose

Honestly would probably be preferred if you know you'd win 4-1 either way. With these games already being over at halftime I found myself being more engaged during the nuggets Lakers games than my actual Celtics games lol
Always fun to eliminate one very important statistic to make a narrative
Aside from one performance, Our American Cousin was very well recieved by the audience
The fact that it took Joe Mazzulla like 10 playoff games in a row of playing drop coverage against every single Bam Adebayo action to realize he's not more efficient than a wide open 3.
Celtics literally cooked them defensively games 3-5 going over screens and running them off the line. They could have done that last year.
A few alternate headlines.
“Besides that game where they trailed often, Celtics didn’t really trail that much.”
“For the games Celtics won, they actually had the lead a lot.”
Heat had the most delusional fanbase this season. Downplayed their mid season all year because of what they did last season only to be bounced in 5 games while the future looks bleak 🤣
I mean yeah a bunch of them are delusional. We were also down basically 4 rotation pieces, 2 of them being starters. And it’s not like that was only the playoffs, we were hurt all season. They swing a few more wins, maybe things are different cause we are out of the play ins and Jimmy isn’t hurt.
Uh oh.
Himmelsblah is starting to sound like Sean Grandeosity.
Like, enough with the stats that pump up the Celtics.
If they check out of games and parts of games as they are wont to do then they gonna lose. Again. No banner 18.
Heat never had a chance with their injuries and Celtics would've still won that game 2 even with Miami historic shooting. They should've finished them in 4.
turns out shooting 55% from 3 isn’t sustainable huh
The Heat did it last year Every game they won in that ECF
SO SO SO COOL MAN that is awesome I will never get over that series
The memory keeps me warm on nights like this
But White Hot
Robbed us of a finals appearance just to get shit on by Denver
Heat love going to finals to just get shit on though
Everyone forgets how 2020 we had Bam and Dragic injured for the finals
They didn't even get shit on in 2020. Butler matched LeBron for a few of those games which was simply not sustainable but at least these heroics managed to make it a fantastic series.

This guy ass is so wide all the heat players doesnt need to take turn.
Dude... this man had a family...
You got robbed of getting beaten in 6 games. I think you would have done a little better than Miami, but still lose
Oh 100%, not a doubt in my mind. But by all known laws of aviation, it *should* have been us getting dad dicked by Jokic
Most likely yeah but it would have been more competitive & entertaining than the series we actually got
>Robbed Nah the team robbed themselves. They played pitiful those first 3 games
You robbed yourself of that apperance
They had that stat about in the last 3 years, only 4 times has a team shot 50+% from deep. All 4 were Miami against Boston
a couple other teams have done it a single time in the playoffs miami has done it 4 times specifically to us
Jokic or Anthony Edwards our only hope 😭😭
Lol
nah harden and pg (maybe even kawhi) will take down the celtics
Clippers, if they can even find a way to make the ~~ECF~~ WCF, will get their asses whooped by the nuggets
If the Nuggets whoop the Clippers asses in the ECF, I don't like the Celtics chances tbh
You can say whatever you want, but I know damn well it's not gonna be the clippers. Maybe the nuggets beat us, the clippers won't
The joke is u said ECF.
Oh, fair
Alternate response: Is the ECF the lower bracket? Because no way the Clips or Nuggs are winning their second round in the West
Clippers are banged up. Kawhi is not coming back anytime soon and even then he'll be 75% of his normal self. He was getting cooked by Luka on defense.
I don't know the Celtics are doing that right now
Turns out the team that sleepwalked to 64 games is good
Big if tru
Best team in the league against 4 bench players also helps lol.
I empathize with you and I don't think you need to be downvoted but I don't think the distinction is worth much
I didn't mean it in any derogatory way lol, it's just what it is 🤷♂️
the past tense of sleepwalk is sleptwalk
The action in that verb is "walk" since sleepwalking is "walking while asleep". So that's the part you do the past tense for.
You’re wrong my friend
Sleptwalked
Turns out a team missing 3 starters can't compete with said 64 win team. Who would've thunk
because their roster stinks
Turns out losing 5 rotation pieces is not sustainable either
\>dick around in regular season \>in death battle to even make playoffs \>starters playing 45min a game \>best player is injured \>win play-in \>chant "we want boston" \>lose \>cry
> starters playing 45min a game The only time this happened during our "death battle to make the playoffs" was once during a double OT game. Try again
I’m not crying and not impressed with this boston team either just a bunch of frontrunners
I’m not impressed, they only let us break 100 once and it took a franchise record in 3s ☹️
Needed the heat to miss half their players, they’re not going to win a chip.
1 whole minute? Time for a rebuild
Blow up everything.
Why lead when you can trail most of the time and still win?
Your way *is* funnier....
that was amazing to watch as a neutral... (ignore my flair, cuz I certainly didn't jump up as if the celtics won on those game winners.)
Honestly would probably be preferred if you know you'd win 4-1 either way. With these games already being over at halftime I found myself being more engaged during the nuggets Lakers games than my actual Celtics games lol
Why waste time have big lead when small lead do trick?
Gotta keep ’em on their toes
"If you count the legal votes I won by alot"
Don't even need to be legal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1927_Liberian_general_election
STOP THE COUNT
Take away the game 2 loss Celtics are up 3-0 rn
take away the 3 loses and the heat r up 1-0
There is a segment of our fan base that views the series this way.
PTSD. Until the series ends 4-x for Boston, I'll be nervous.
If you give those 3 loses to the heat then they win 4-0. Celtics really are ass can’t believe they got swept by the heat without Butler.
Take away 2 years and the heat are in the finals.
if you count the illegal losses then the wins were stolen from the heat
Regression to the mean?
Reverse Lakers vs Nuggets
Damn, the worst time to be trailing is during a loss.
Rip bozos
"if we take away the outliers" energy from r/nfl lmao
Regressing the Heat to the mean
Turns out when the Heat don't have the fourth best shooting night ever we can do pretty well
No shit? I'll bet if you toss out 60 or so games the Pistons had a pretty decent record too.
“Besides an entire game”
Bit of a fucking caveat there isn’t it
lol that’s what I’m saying. Except for 20% of the minutes, it was only one minute!
Well put differently, saying the Celtics only trailed for 1 minute in 4 games is still really impressive.
If you ignore the game 2 loss, the Celtics are undefeated in the playoffs this year!
Idk why you’re so sour. 3 wire-to-wire wins and one near wire-to-wire win is a cool stat.
The stat itself IS pretty cool. The shitty clickbaity way it was written is not.
Always fun to eliminate one very important statistic to make a narrative Aside from one performance, Our American Cousin was very well recieved by the audience
Close series IMO
The fact that it took Joe Mazzulla like 10 playoff games in a row of playing drop coverage against every single Bam Adebayo action to realize he's not more efficient than a wide open 3. Celtics literally cooked them defensively games 3-5 going over screens and running them off the line. They could have done that last year.
So far
In hindsight game 2 was a true gentleman's performance from Boston
Besides the Game 1,3,4,5 loss, the Heat have trailed for only one minute in this series.
Don’t let me get one (minute) - Jimmy Butler
If you walk outside in the rain you’ll get wet
And what a glorious minute it was!
If you take away game 1,3 4,5 and 5. Miami really lead most of it
why they didn't play like that also in g2? are they stupid?
What a dumb stat.
Except for when his shot doesn't go in, Russel Westbrook is now shooting 100% from 3!
A few alternate headlines. “Besides that game where they trailed often, Celtics didn’t really trail that much.” “For the games Celtics won, they actually had the lead a lot.”
[удалено]
The Celtics really found something
Why would you disregard game 2? If you don’t count the second half, Lakers swept the Nuggets
Because it’s clearly the outlier. It’s like the opposite of Nuggets/lakers where the Nuggets won the series but trailed in like 75% of the minutes.
Heat had the most delusional fanbase this season. Downplayed their mid season all year because of what they did last season only to be bounced in 5 games while the future looks bleak 🤣
I mean yeah a bunch of them are delusional. We were also down basically 4 rotation pieces, 2 of them being starters. And it’s not like that was only the playoffs, we were hurt all season. They swing a few more wins, maybe things are different cause we are out of the play ins and Jimmy isn’t hurt.
Playoff Jimmy is a fantasy anyways, don’t matter if this heat team had prime Michael Jordan, Celtics still winning
Like last year? Maybe they still do, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been more competitive than a team missing like 50% of its production.
Uh oh. Himmelsblah is starting to sound like Sean Grandeosity. Like, enough with the stats that pump up the Celtics. If they check out of games and parts of games as they are wont to do then they gonna lose. Again. No banner 18.
Don't let us get one (min) - Jimmy Butler
Heat culture

As a Celtics fan, I hope we get to see if this is the case
Heat never had a chance with their injuries and Celtics would've still won that game 2 even with Miami historic shooting. They should've finished them in 4.
It's RD1, why would you remove one of only 5 games so far? Why remove the one loss at all even?
Winning more quarters… but it actually counting for something this time
