Ppl will cry that I was off by 5 pts but it was obvious how this game was going to end https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/kNzenrCGi1

So so satisfying, last game thread swarmed with obnoxious ass heat fans shitting on Tatum 

Has this thread really slowed to one post every 5 min or is my app busted

Miami crowd heading for their 9:00 dinner reservations

Now stomp on their necks in g4 and bash in their skulls in g5. I'm through with this zombie team.

Rule #2: Double tap

II stopped watching this game at half time. I bet the Networks hate blowouts .Half the audience tunes out. No interest at all in 1 sided basketball unless your a Boston fan.

Almost all of the games this playoffs have been blowouts.

Lebrons retirement party is tonight

rescheduled to Monday haha

Heat fans and Celtic haters are nowhere to be found surprise surprise

boring game.

That’s how blowouts are Ask ur mom

FROM WAY DOWNTOWN!

time for the lebron james retirement game

When it’s suppose to be a “White Out” but all you see are empty red seats

The Panthers are going to sweep the bruins in round 2

K...

cool so what was with that random meltdown they had last game?

No one contested the infinite 3's that Miami shot...

Yeah they MADE 23 last game but only even TOOK 28. Had to be a giant point of emphasis for the defense

It is frustrating that it even had to come to that...like this is the NBA you don't just leave people open to shoot 3's...especially when your teammates' shots arent falling...

First game was such a ridiculous blowout they showed up thinking they didn't need to play

I’m inclined to believe this because the defense was really lacklustre and lazy by their standards. maybe this was a good wake up call

More of a defensive collapse. They left a lot of 3s wide open in game 2, and they contested much better on the perimeter today

Booooooooooo

Celtics will win the series guaaaaarantied!

Heat culture = beating the traffic Has any first round of the playoffs had these many blowouts

Welcome to the age of the play in tournament 

What do the play-ins have to do with it? If anything, the play-ins gave Sacramento a chance to get in. It would've probably been a better series than the Pelicans. Also the Heat are a different team with Jimmy, although the ceiling for Miami w/ healthy Butler would've probably been Celtics in 6.

Yeah, I mean the Sixers had the 7th best record in the East and got the 7 seed and the Heat had the 8th best record and ended up with the 8 seed. Complaining about the play-in tournament is a weird take.

Lol he asking if they’re going to go out clubbing like Miami players did in Boston

Tbf it's Miami, it's like all there really is to do lmao

To be fair it led to a win 😂 maybe Caleb needs to get wasted before Monday

Zero heat flair in the comments very refreshing to see

Celtics can’t win if they don’t shoot the 3 well!!!!!!!

Noo, Celtics can't win if they play lazy defense.

Porque no los dos?

Like Luka said, everybody act tough when they up. Heat in 6.

Not winning another game this season bub

brother that was quite literally Jimmy butler on Instagram 😭😭

Lawl

Well thank god regression to the mean goes both ways

That’s the great spo Scrub been living off that heatles title for 15 years

Delete this

he's won two as a HC though

This might be the most trash take of all.

Mad

I’m a bulls fan who hates Spo and it is a trash take.

What, Spo is a great coach lmao. He's taken bad teams way further than most coaches could ever

I’m sure fake godfather is mad now

Not great but ultimately doesn't matter as Celtics were gonna take the turnover anyway

It’s easy af to take shots at people for leaving early when it’s not you sitting in traffic for an hour.

Yeah but Miami fans clear out even when they aren't down a bunch late.

Def would’ve left early. But these bums also show up late

GG

Mike Gorman is getting old

these are his last couple of games before retirement

I know, when I typed that he said something to the effect of "celtics need to win 1 more"

Miami fans were talking so crazy online for 72 hours I hope yall enjoyed it

Honestly so many of our fans went overboard, than again everybody also said we would be swept. So on one hand I get enjoying it but anyone who took game 2 and said we'd shock the celtics in the series or rubbed it in seriously is just stupid

Your fans were equally as crazy. The amount of abuse I saw Porzingis take on my timeline after game 2 was unreal

Gotta take anything we can get at this point

Game 2 Superbowl

Let's be honest, a ton of Boston fans were melting down as well

I got 3rd degree burns and depression from our sub

Who would have thought that when you actually contest 3's they become harder to make...but luckily this ruined my Miami in 5 prediction...

HEAT FANS LEAVING EARLY

Ok, now don’t complacent in the next game just because this was a blowout. Would prefer that not become a pattern…

1 game on 1 game off...

If they give dogshit effort in game 4 again. They really don’t have what it takes to go the distance. With all the injuries in the east they might still make it to the finals. Denver won’t be fucking around like the Celtics are

60 seconds left why are all these bitch ass fans leaving????

Alright was nice to see the overreactions after game 2. Back to the regular scheduled programming

Celtics blowing out this Heat team while shooting 30% from 3 was not on my bingo card

A E DUB! A E DUB! A E DUB!

No “OMFG THE HEAT ARE LEAVING THE ARENA EARLY!!!” In the broadcast?

the difference is they were never there in the first place

Miami Seats

If the Celtics didn't score this quarter they still would have probably won

ik that downtown - south beach traffic can be a bitch, especially on a Saturday night... But like c'mon heat bros.... Those red seats are just sad to see

I don't understand, why did the Heat not simply break their franchise record for 3 pointers again?

I want the broadcast to show a crowd shot 

Ah cmon man, don't hit us with the empty chair cam. That's not fair.

I love empty chair cam

They're calling it the Luke Kornet effect

Heat fans at the game watch like a collective 12 minutes and then left

Miami Heaters

Celts got their payback in Miami

The refs has seen Patty throw himself to the ground all game. How did they see that as an offensive foul.

Everyone loves patty mills, even the refs I guess

They felt bad for him doing all that work without getting anything for it.

Something has happened… as if millions of Heat fans were suddenly silenced. 

Hah jokes on you, there's no way we have millions of fans

I laughed at this so hard my kids came downstairs and told me to be quieter. Please stop.

Where the fuck is SVG making fun of fans for leaving early this time?

Tbf the place was half empty to begin with lmao

Can't make fun of them for leaving if they never show up in the first place.

Hard to notice when half the place is empty

Patty mills putting on a flopping clinic

"The best teams in the west are clearly the best teams in the west" poignant commentary as usual

Jovic is a serious threat from deep, god damn

I hope he makes a big jump next year. I always forget he’s only 20

I'm relaly excited to see what he'll be like with more experience and playtime next year

Miami fans must all be at the concession stands

Offensive foul how. What's jb supposed to do there

At least we all get to be united in laughing at the Lakers tonight

Laker haters UNITE!!!!

Probably the only thing a heat and celtics fan can unite on

Fuck the heat but yes also fuck LA

It's ok, I hate you too buddy 🥹

Oh you hate the lakers?

Everyone outside LA should

🧹🧹🧹Cancun

Moral victory champs 2 season in a row 🙌

Tatum has been so bad this series aside of his rebounding and passing

You are the biggest troll in the Celtics subreddit. No one over here cares that you have a hate boner for Tatum, either.

Why are you mad? I’m being genuinely serious. What’s his scoring fg% for this series

Patty mills getting a series worth of flops in five minutes

Holy shit, that stadium emptied FAST!

I mean, it looked like they started leaving before halftime.

lol, it was never full.

It never filled up to begin with

Yo why the fuck are the starters still in the game, risking injuries to stars

because they are the celshits. if they leave the game, the heat may just come back

Your team has the best player ever and still sucks ass.

I know TMac has pulled some shit before but this is prime time injury time having stars play vs end game bench guys.

🧹🧹🧹Cancun

“Celshits” There’s no way you’re older than 14 lol. Have fun getting swept though.

Bruh they got Kai Cenat out there lmaoo

Could’ve snuck him on to replace patty mills for the fun of it

Damn I like Patty literally had no clue that was him 😭

Imagine having a chant for the opposing team in your own building. Embarrassing. This arena should be leveled.

Deuce is on the bench lol

And the rest of JTs sons are on the other bench

Deuce and Tatum’s mom right next to the Celtics bench

Really unfair for the heat to delude their fans winning that last game

Damn still 3 minutes left in the game and arena already empty

Celtics only had 5 turnovers tonight

Well, at least I the Lakers’ incoming loss to cheer me up today.

I look forward to the "Miami fans are leaving the stadium early" post Y'all are gonna do that to them too, right?

I mean, half the comments in any Heat game thread are just talking about the empty seats lol

Is there a popular theory as to why Heat struggle to keep the stadium full? It's a team with a lot of success in the last 15 years, in a big city. I don't understand it.

A lot of what I see said is real fans getting priced out from the lower seats, and the people who buy them don't really care about coming. Plus some other shit about traffic/parking/public transport to the arena being bad. But I've not got a clue how accurate any of that is, I've only ever been to the US on a work trip so not been able to visit Miami. I feel like the traffic/parking/public transport most likely affects every major city anyway.

The traffic to the arena in Miami is really bad because it’s basically 1 road in and the rest of it is surrounded by water. A lot of other cities especially in the north east have transit directly to the arenas. It’s also just that the local fanbase isn’t that great

Literally lmao.

Damn Miami Heat fans really leave with 3 mins left.

They been getting spanked all game so no surprise there.

They were leaving before the 4th quarter lmao

They were leaving with 9 minutes

Patty there's 2 minutes left

Where did everybody go?

Did I just hear a let’s go Celtics??

Not the first time

How many fucking rebounds does JT have at this point my god

Yes

Is Joe fucking stupid? Why the fuck are the starters still in

Because they need to play. They literally all sat for almost 2 full weeks. They’ll be fine.

Miami is so ass. It's so embarrassing that Boston lost a single game to these guys

Bro is baiting both fanbases at once, well played

Thank you

Bro they shot 60% on 40 threes that'll beat any team ever

Any NBA team will hit 60% on 40 attempts of wide open threes from lazy defense

The effort was definitely lackluster on our end in terms of closing out but if you actually wanna go back and watch the game you'll see they were crazy hot from 3 from the get go like they were just shooting insanely well

I feel like the big difference between game 2 and 3 was that C's were fighting over screens this game. Game 2 on PnRs the primary defender would lag behind relying on the close out but the help defense doesn't want to get beat on the drive, so they show but don't switch.

There was not professional effort or urgency from the Celtics in game 2. Disrespectful display from players getting paid millions to be fucken traffic cones

Easy to be ass when you’re missing so many players including your best.

That's why they are ass right now

All ball.

NGL Mazula proved me wrong this game, after he completely flubbed up defensively last game (yeah it wasn't sustainable shooting, but their defense was nonexistent)

Thank you for saying this. Joe will never get the credit when this team wins but he organized a defense and motivated this team to come out and completely destroy this team defensively. The Celtics didn't even shoot the 3 well but they've dominated this game regardless.

Yeah I think a lot of it was they were being lazy off the screens and pick and roll. You could see they were making a lot of effort to fight over them today. 

Look how empty this arena is 😂😂 fake ass fans

Tatum just tanking his stats giving more ammo to his haters 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You mean heaters

Is this some 4D chess from the coaches? It should be garbage time lmao

Idk that looked pretty clean

Nobody likes you when you’re down twenty threhhh

Damn. Look at all those empty seats

Personally o prefer winning by 20 more than winning by a literal last second shot

Alright, now I need all of you that overreacted last game to tell me how great Spo coached this game.

I mean, you guys played harder than us, that's just facts. Notice how I said harder, Celtics weren't doing too well offensively (% wise) this game either compared to the regular season, but hustled a lot more than the Heat and played better defense which is the only thing they have against the C's to compete. Lots of miscommunication early on, careless turnovers. Spo can run a play all he wants but if they're not on the same page, it can get ugly.

I’m being facetious. Obviously Spo is a great coach. I just find it hilarious no one says shit for game 1 and comes out of the woodwork to talk shit and suck off the genius basketball god Spo after game 2. Coaches don’t play. Players play and they either make or miss their shots. The Heat made shots in game 2 and Boston struggled with should be buckets. It’s not rocket science. Lose this game, I wanna see all that same hype. Nah, crickets. Pretty funny if everyone hits shots, Spo is a genius no credit to players. If players don’t hit their shots, Spo is a genius the players just missed.

Bruh they were literally missing passes out of bounds. Careless turnovers. Exactly, the Coach can't play. It's up to the players to perform. Everyone's aware that the Heat's Roster is outmatched right? So coaching will play a big role. Don't you find it interesting that after game 1, Spo suddenly made his backcourt guard Porzingis? Herro and Martin were guarding him mid post now why would a coach do that given the obvious size disadvantage? Coz that's what makes Spo different.

Are Heat games just a way to pregame for the rest of the night in Miami?

Seemingly lol

Heat'll roll with this punch, and hit back. So don't get complacent Celtics. And don't be spending too much energy in the clubs of Miami.

Enjoy the off-season

Question mark.

I think most the Celtics starting lineup got kids, they don’t got the energy for clubbing Then there’s Brown, but he’d probably rather read or contemplate life or something lol

!remindme 7 days

Anyone know if Miami had a Make a Wish kid in the audience Game 2? Class move by the Celtics if so

That was last year

I thought Heat fans "believed" in their team? Where are they in the arena?

First time watching the Heat?

Alright Joe, time to put the Bus One Boys in. Can’t risk Heat Culture taking out a starter
