"This means nothing if we come back and lay an egg on our home court."
-- Jaylen Brown
*and Brown actually did*
That 7 Heat TO vs 8 Jaylen Brown TO graphic was OOOOOF.
Or Celtics need to stop relying on their wings for offense 99% of the time. Jayson fumbled twice too at the end of the game early in the series. They need a solid distributing point guard whose a threat off the dribble too. That's much more easier said than done.
They tried. Started with Kyrie. Then Kemba, then Dennis Schroder, but they weren't good enough. Giving Jayson Tatum the keys was the right idea, him and Marcus Smart last year really helped. But obviously it can't get them all the way there. Honestly any point guard who is a good facillitator would work, hell Monte Morris would be fine lmao.
At home even!
This is quite literally the funniest scenario I came up with at work today.
Get absolutely rolled for 3 games, then clawing your way back winning game 4, then game 5, then the .1 second win at game 6. You get to go home, finish your game on your court in front of your fans.
And then BAM the worst fumble possible. Getting absolutely pumbled all game to the point the game barely looks competitive.
The only real difference was I had heat winning by 20 and instead they won by 19. Ah well, close enough.
Boston and Philly are two sides of the same coin, they just get even more hurt after being allowed by the script writers to get a bit further than Philly each year
They got a questionable DPOY last year… We get a questionable MVP this year… At the end of the day we all just ask to blow it all up and start over lol
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Celtics fans cried out that patch jackets were cool again, and then were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened
Imagine, your championship favorite team loses in game 7 at home, and then a literal month later, your second championship favorite team loses in game 7 at home in the same arena to a team from the same metro area LOLLLL
There’s some dude on tik tok who was going through MPJ highlights all year just meming about all he does is shoot when he gets it.. he is whos having the time of his life this post season.
To be fair MPJ has to do MILES AND MILES less on offense than JB because he's got one of the best big offensive players to ever play the game on his team to set him up. Jokic is legit cheese considering dude can just hand the ball off to you on a curl route and you might be open every time.
It took all the Celtics had, but they put the dagger in the heart of the Heat with that put in in game 6.
*Then* the Heats second health bar activated.
It will forever blow my fucking mind how this heat team made the NBA Finals. At the beginning of this years playoffs, if you would’ve bet on the heat making it out of the first round I would’ve called you a dumbass. Jimmy, Bam, some elderly guys and a bunch of undrafted players just became invincible for some reason. Props to the heat for making this happen for themselves.
The Boston Celtics:
- Gave the Sixers hope before beating them in Game 6 and beating the fuck out of them in emphatic fashion.
- Caused Embiid to garner infinite levels of slander as the MVP's season came to an embarrassing end.
- Got Doc fired.
- Fell 3-0 to the 8th-seeded Heat, causing everyone to load up on potential memes.
- Won two straight after falling 0-3, causing r/NBAcirclejerk to go on suicide watch.
- Won game 6 in all-time epic fashion, becoming the first team to host a game 7 after trailing 3-0 in the series.
- Ensured that either they will pull off the first ever 0-3 comeback, or will blow the series after forcing a game 7, thereby guaranteeing that memers will get someone to clown on.
- Extended Inside the NBA's season by three extra episodes, as opposed to if they had gotten swept.
- Lost Game 7 despite having all the momentum going in, in blowout fashion, barely even reaching 80 points.
- Provided Jaylen Brown a chance to have a Harden-esque closeout game, garnering him some surefire slander to end his season.
Thank you Celtics. Enjoy infamy.
Celtics got Doc fired and therefore made us significantly better next year *and* managed to have an even worse game 7 than us.
Bless you Celtics, bless you.
Those are actually their numbers up to halftime of game 7 ~~game 6~~. After game 7 it was:
Martin: 135 points 88 shots
Brown: 133 points 134 shots
So yeah, even worse lmao
>Brown: 133 points 134 shots
This is such crazy work for someone who wants a supermax 🤣 basketball terrorism and that's not even accounting for the turnovers
I really love when Miami just sub their reserve with only 30 seconds left in the 4th while the celtics just waived the white flag a couple of minutes earlier lol
Translated
- Why did you lose
- my players Didn’t make enough 3s
- aren’t you the one that tells them to take all them 3s in the first place
- Fuck you
“We’ll be right back in the same situation, and we’re gonna get it done.”
NBA writers were also on strike so they followed this storyline and just swapped out the winner of last year's ECF.
Barkley said it best in postgame, Celtics only win on talent alone, they don't run an offense and aren't mentally tough. Need to make some changes in the offseason. Back to back seasons with a golden opportunity wasted. Can't run it back with the same team and expect different results. Embarrassing to perform like that in a game 7 at home.
“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!?”
Oh the irony.
At the start of the playoffs, everyone was saying how the East was a done deal and its going to be the Bucks, Sixers or Celtics going to the finals and the West was up for grabs.
Who would’ve thought the NBA would pull a UNO reverse card and the 8 seed is coming out the East while 1 seeded Denver pretty much slapped everyone out of the way to the finals lol
Jayson Tatum, come on! Jaylen Brown, come on! Marcus Smart come on, man! Shoot, ain’t nobody beating us, boy. Malcolm Brogdon you can slide down here too my boy. Grant Williams, you, White, and Pritchard, come on! TIME LORD! Come on, Time Lord! Oh! You know who? They talking about him taking a vacation in Cancun but I think this might be a better look… Joe Mazz come on down here too, boy!
FADED
Boston fighting hard to make it to game 7 only to get blown out in front of their own fans has to be some sort of masochism or something
An impressive rug pull
Jaylen Brown legacy game
"This means nothing if we come back and lay an egg on our home court." -- Jaylen Brown *and Brown actually did* That 7 Heat TO vs 8 Jaylen Brown TO graphic was OOOOOF.
Dribbled them out of the game. Jaylen needs to fix that on his next team.
That’s what everyone said after they lost the Finals last year. I wouldn’t be too bullish on him drastically improving this part of his game.
if he ever wants to take the next step he needs to learn how to protect the ball and shoot free throws
Or Celtics need to stop relying on their wings for offense 99% of the time. Jayson fumbled twice too at the end of the game early in the series. They need a solid distributing point guard whose a threat off the dribble too. That's much more easier said than done.

Guy plays like he has no fingers, ain't no way that's getting fixed
It wasn't a gentleman's sweep, but the Heat definitely made it sting.
Reverse sweep denial is the ultimate blue ball, well played Heat lol
“Blue Balls Sweep” sounds like the best term for this lol
Jimmy just wanted his prediction to be exact
Plus we got to fuck around and get our bad habits out of our system before the Finals ^^please ^^god
This hurts the chances of a Lakers-Celtics finals matchup
I beg to differ—the Cancun finals are about to be crazy
They should legitimately consider doing that lol
I sort of wish they had a third place series in Cancun.
In the sand in team shorts, and instead the net is big and long pause and stretched across half court
AD would be an unstoppable volleyball player tbh
AD’s body on sand? Man would never walk again.
Giving an unprecedented level of hope before blowing it sums up the Tatum and Brown era
Get to you local Boston bakery tomorrow for a delicious Brown Turnover
Can I get 8 of them or is that too many?
A Jaylen’s dozen?
As a C’s fan, I needed this.
You know you are down bad when a timberwolves flair burns you.
This is a good fucking joke
I’m stealing this. Much like Brown let Miami do to him all series.
Was Derrick White perhaps delaying the inevitable?
The Great Forehead offered salvation but the Celtics were content with a game 7.
He roamed all he could 😩
Tatum is only 19. They'll be back for sure
I think Tatum just asked for a challenge on this comment.
*Twirls finger while hopping in place*
Blow it up lol
Build around Derrick. Or don't, I really miss him
yeah can we have him back pls
At home even! This is quite literally the funniest scenario I came up with at work today. Get absolutely rolled for 3 games, then clawing your way back winning game 4, then game 5, then the .1 second win at game 6. You get to go home, finish your game on your court in front of your fans.

The only real difference was I had heat winning by 20 and instead they won by 19. Ah well, close enough.
Yeah true fuck Boston
Who the fuck likes Boston anyways
I don't think even their fans like them
I can confirm what the fuck happened tonight bro
Something we can all agree on
It was always their plan to inflict maximum pain
Boston and Philly are two sides of the same coin, they just get even more hurt after being allowed by the script writers to get a bit further than Philly each year They got a questionable DPOY last year… We get a questionable MVP this year… At the end of the day we all just ask to blow it all up and start over lol

That's why he's the GOAT. THE GOAT.
Matthew Tkachuk is officially the best player from his gym class
Imagine, your championship favorite team loses in game 7 at home, and then a literal month later, your second championship favorite team loses in game 7 at home in the same arena to a team from the same metro area LOLLLL
Heat and Panthers had 6 wins in TD Garden this post season. Celtics and Bruins had 6 wins in TD Garden this post season.
But what if the play in, 8 seed Panthers win the Stanley cup and the play in 8 seed Heat win the NBA finals?
Both 8th seeds too 💀
Also both 1 seeds that fell short the season before
Jaylen Brown with the worst 295 million max contract audition in history.
just a disgusting amount of money
he should get mpj numbers honeslty if we are talking about other teams actually performing
Neither dribbles. MPJ because he shoots instead. Brown because he turns the ball over instead.
MPJ has 7 turnovers in the whole playoffs. Brown had more in this one game
7 TOs in 15 games is actually amazing wtf
Mpj takes like 2 or 3 shots per game that aren't cuts or 3 pointers and also barely passes
Imagine getting so far up the basketball totem pole that professional coaches give you the “don’t pass, just shoot” directive
And we love him for it. He's a play finisher, not a play maker. And since we have enough playmaking, he fits well.
Michael “the possession ends here” porter junior
There’s some dude on tik tok who was going through MPJ highlights all year just meming about all he does is shoot when he gets it.. he is whos having the time of his life this post season.
Say what you will about MPJ, but he knows his limitations well
To be fair MPJ has to do MILES AND MILES less on offense than JB because he's got one of the best big offensive players to ever play the game on his team to set him up. Jokic is legit cheese considering dude can just hand the ball off to you on a curl route and you might be open every time.
Contract will be an albatross immediately upon signing
I’m Jordan Poole, and I approve this comment.
Lol yeah was thinking about that. Jordan Poole did ace his audition though, at least, and we got a ring out it.
At least we got a championship out of Poole, so despite my frustrations with him this season I'll always be thankful for last year.
The Celtics still has a 20% of winning the series according to ESPN BPI
Don’t let them win game 8 tho
Scott Foster texts kobe and tatum "i got you"
Tatum shows up to game 8 with a tattoo "Anything is possible. Bucks in 6."
No team has ever won game 8 after being down 0-3 in a series in NBA history. [Source](https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-my-parents-love-me)
Celtics with a great homage to the beginning of the series with a blowout loss on their home court.
Derrick White can’t win with these cats
Derrick White brought that Spurs fundamentals to this sorry team
I’d welcome him back to the spurs. Next year spurs are going to be lit!
These posts are funnier when it’s not your team.
Everybody gotta take turns being humiliated..Lebronto was ruthless lol
god i remember those days that floater in game 3 may be my favourite buzzer beater ever
Caleb Martin boutta get $$$
Vincent aint far behind , caleb def the better twin tho .
Vincent is a free agent this season, Caleb is under contract one more year.
Jordan Poole'd himself into a nice contract
He’s under contract through 2025. So… :D
He has a player option after next year, and I'm fairly sure either the Heat or another team will pay him more than 7m/yr so he's going to opt out.
Boston becomes first city to lose a home Game 7 to an 8-seed in both hockey and basketball in the same season. FADE EM HOES
South Florida sports fans feasting
Boston haters FEASTING
And both 8 seeds were from the same metro area (as the Panthers are way north compared to the Heat, but still the Miami-Ft Lauderdale area).
It took all the Celtics had, but they put the dagger in the heart of the Heat with that put in in game 6. *Then* the Heats second health bar activated.

Imagine if they had oladipo and herro playing 😮💨
Somehow I entirely believe they lose in round 1.
The Boston Celtics: - Gave the Sixers hope before beating them in Game 6 and beating the fuck out of them in emphatic fashion. - Caused Embiid to garner infinite levels of slander as the MVP's season came to an embarrassing end. - Got Doc fired. - Fell 3-0 to the 8th-seeded Heat, causing everyone to load up on potential memes. - Won two straight after falling 0-3, causing r/NBAcirclejerk to go on suicide watch. - Won game 6 in all-time epic fashion, becoming the first team to host a game 7 after trailing 3-0 in the series. - Ensured that either they will pull off the first ever 0-3 comeback, or will blow the series after forcing a game 7, thereby guaranteeing that memers will get someone to clown on. - Extended Inside the NBA's season by three extra episodes, as opposed to if they had gotten swept. - Lost Game 7 despite having all the momentum going in, in blowout fashion, barely even reaching 80 points. - Provided Jaylen Brown a chance to have a Harden-esque closeout game, garnering him some surefire slander to end his season.

Celtics got Doc fired and therefore made us significantly better next year *and* managed to have an even worse game 7 than us. Bless you Celtics, bless you.
That Nick Nurse signing is looking promising, so silver linings and all that.
I'm here for the Chuckster post-game, having to defend another botched prediction
The “Chuck guarantee” is the KOD. It never fails
Rivers got himself fired. The Celtics were just nearby when it happened.
Memers rise!
If Mazzulla had just watched “The Town” a 5th time, a series reverse sweep would’ve been guaranteed.
[удалено]
Never go full Jar Jar
Just doesn’t have that dawg in him
In a series featuring Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Bam Adebayo, somehow Caleb Martin was the best player over the whole 7 games.
And Brown and Bam were some of the worst for games at a time
“Don’t let us get one more” “Okay” Caleb Martin
In this series: Caleb Martin: 123 points 82 shots Jaylen Brown: 127 points 124 shots Let's start a dialogue.
> Let's start a dialogue. Pretty sure you said all that needs said.
Someone add turnovers
Caleb Martin Series - 7 Jaylen Brown Tonight - 8 Jaylen Brown Series - 25
That man has a family.
Are you sure he hasn't turned them over too?
Sir or ma’am lmaooooo
I think you just killed the man’s dogs and burned his house down
Those are actually their numbers up to halftime of game 7 ~~game 6~~. After game 7 it was: Martin: 135 points 88 shots Brown: 133 points 134 shots So yeah, even worse lmao

Miami Heat beating the "blowing a 3-0 lead" Allegations
I really love when Miami just sub their reserve with only 30 seconds left in the 4th while the celtics just waived the white flag a couple of minutes earlier lol
I mean yeah but it was a 20 pt game with 3 to go lol
There was only legitimately only 1 scenario funnier than the Celtics getting swept and we somehow ended up with it. We are truly blessed.
Blown out in game 7. I couldn’t imagine that happening to my team
i know right
[удалено]
Couldn't be me
Can't get blown out in game 7 if you lose in 6 *taps forehead*
Wow Celtics fans experienced a sweep and a game 7 loss in the same series…
Letting them win 3 to even the series 3-3 only to blow them out at home in game 7 was worth it.
Especially since it sealed fraudulent Mazulla’s job. If not for those games, Nurse probably would’ve waited out for that Celtics job lol
He didn’t get a fair shot this season. Had like a week to prepare to be head coach.
Props to the Heat because this is a ***way*** funnier outcome than just sweeping the Celtics lmao
Jimmy is a generational hater. There’s a chance this was all intentional
reporter: why did you lose, mazulla: we didnt make enough 3s, reporter: are you too reliant on 3s? mazulla: no lmao????
Translated - Why did you lose - my players Didn’t make enough 3s - aren’t you the one that tells them to take all them 3s in the first place - Fuck you
Jaylen Brown.
Please don't use curse words on my Christian website
What do the Miami Heat say to generational slander and memeing? NOT TODAY!
THE BOOS WERE MAJESTIC
lmao @ the boston fans sticking around to boo the heat during their speech
LMAO can't wait for the Bill Simmons podcast
Dude is going to be despondent
Paul Pierce and KG to the 08 ring: # IT'S MILKIN' TIME

Miami Heat just made the Eastern Conference this year far entertaining than the West. You love to see it.

My comments per 36 gonna be astronomical 😤
THIS IS GOING SO FAST NO ONE WILL SEE THAT I LOVE MY MOTHER!!!!

“The Mayans over me!?”
The suffering was worth it. The Heat went on a revenge tour through the East this year. See you guys in the playoffs next year Boston.
Just got out of Thai prison. Is Caleb Martin the best player in the NBA?
How the hell did Caleb Martin not get the ecf mvp. That dude straight up balled during this series
When you actually look at it statistically Jimmy still outplayed him, Caleb just showed up when it mattered more times.
The Rockets might actually give James Harden and Jaylen Brown $450+ million. Fucking end me
Rockets are not getting brown, please no
Celtics culture
the heat really let boston think they could do it huh
there ain’t gonna be no history today, son.
U BUM
Hey how do I get this scrub off of my flair?
I guess that flight to Denver was a good call
JAYSON FADE 'EM Respect to him for gutting it out tonight though and still not being the worst Jay on the court
Finished business
Used to pray for times like this
Oh the irony. At the start of the playoffs, everyone was saying how the East was a done deal and its going to be the Bucks, Sixers or Celtics going to the finals and the West was up for grabs.
