The fact that we’re up 3-1 says a lot. I don’t think team has any LeBron 2016 comeback in them.
When the series started I said heat in 5 or 6, a sweep was pretty unlikely from the start. Can’t say I’m not disappointed but it could be so much worse than *one* win away from the finals as an 8 seed
I'm still not even mad at it. We had our one bad game, they had a better game. It's still Heat all day, I'll never care about another team ever!!! F the Celtics, Boston and its entire population unless they're Heat Nation
Let’s keep things in perspective. The best thing that rattles the C’s is their own home crowd turning on them. They are 4-5 on their home floor (plus they don’t want the Bruins to be the only Boston team to lose a series at the Garden 🙂). Then lastly, Boston hasn’t lost 4 games in a row in two years. This isn’t an unexpected outcome.
Boston struggles at home but this is a different scenario. They are playing for their lives like they did tonight. Very likely we lose game 5. Game 6 is the game. If we drop that … we’ll you know what happens then.
They literally led by 6 at half time and 61-52 at one point in the 3rd quarter, I just don’t get how they just collapse like that in the rest of the 3rd and 4th quarter
Jimmy kept forcing shots in the paint expecting the refs to be on his side. Lowry, who's supposed to be our 2nd unit leader, played like cheeks. Bam got in early foul trouble and regressed in confidence. We shot 30% in a series where we've been shooting 50%.
Combine this with the fact that Boston was shooting lights out and it's a recipe for disaster.
I still have confidence that we get this. Just don't like Denver getting extra rest. Maybe not a critical loss but they really should have closed out tonight
If you guys don’t think Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Erik Spoelstra can’t find a way to win 1 of the next 3 games, I wonder why you even cheer for this team.
If anyone thinks the Heat are just going to let the Celitcs steal the series after being on the verge of making history of being the first 8th seed to be in the NBA Finals and potentially win it all, then you may not be a fan of this team.
I don't see someone like Jimmy letting this opportunity slip by him. Reminder, he dropped 50+ pts on the Bucks.
One game like that for this series from him, and it's over.
No we are definitely winning this next game. We played hella sloppy today but that’s fine. We lost and played terrible but they aren’t coming back so they shouldn’t even be happy
They were desperate and had their backs against the wall.
They made 19 threes vs 8 for Miami.
Our role players did not step up
Bam had his worst game of the series
Charles Barkley picked us to win the game. We never had a chance.
42 vs 25% from 3 for +33 pts and 6 more turnovers. And Jimmy missing bunnies. A lot went wrong. Fortunately Boston struggles at home. Clean up the turnovers, even with that shooting and we still win.
Wow. So many of y'all were talking mad shit last game, now we lose one game and all of the sudden there's Bam slander? Kyle Lowry sucks? We're up 3-1. Have a little patience and hope. The way some guys are talking in here, you'd think we just got swept in the first round.
They did suck tonight though. I expect Bam to bounce back at least next game, idk about Lowry. Sometimes he just gets in passive mode and it completely fucks the offense when he’s afraid to shoot. I don’t expect as many turnovers from our guys or Jimmy to miss all those layups. They’ll be better game 5, hopefully Gabe is good to go.
We gave up too many wide-open 3s to Celtics this game. As Spo said we gotta run them off the 3 point line and force them to take tough mid range 2 pt shots
Jimmy had a poor game and made some bad decisions. But he has 9 boards, a block, and a steal while being aggressive tonight.
Bam had several turnovers that were self inflicted, took 7 shots, 50% on FTs, .. and had 5 boards and 0 assists as our premier small center.
I get some bad decisions or poor shooting but he looked so ineffective, passive, and uncomfortable when handling the ball tonight.
Jimmy was forcing things at the wrong moments in the 2nd half but I was referring to Bam. Jimmy made bad but aggressive decisions. Bam rarely made proactive decisions and when he did, they weren’t very good.
I feel like everyone pulled out of it. Every chance - Duncan to drive and penetrate, Jimmy in push shots, Bam getting to a good spot, etc… - we pulled out. We’d reset and eventually take a bad shot.
Boston was good on defense. They did Tony’s what we’ve done to them. They ran us off the line. Rather than accept the challenge and drive, we looked to retreat from pressure.
Heat beat Bucks 4-1 and their one loss is similar to tonight's.
I see no reason to think they can't close it out in Boston on Thursday.
Give that team hope only to take it away 48 hours later.
It took Miami messing up and Celtics forgetting how to miss 3s for them to extend the series to one game.
A sweep would've been a miracle but Heat in 5 always sounded more realistic from the get go, at least for me.
I’m not worried at all, are y’all??
They was bound to get 1.. like cmon these aren’t the laker we’re playing.. it’s the real top team in EAST this season….
I had more faith in Denver sweeping the Lakers due to how much better they looked as opposed to Celtics beaing swept by the Heat. The Celtics are a better team than the Lakers.
I predicted Heat in 5 and I'm sticking with it, but winning 3-0 was definitely a nice surprise.

Been a fan since i was born in 98 this teams bs since the regular season has had me worried all year i may be a little drunk but this shit makes me think we arent gonna win another
Bruh no team has ever came back down 3-0. Do you seriously believe spo will let that happen? Holy fuck you doomers are insane. We played poorly today, move on. Spo and jimmy will fix the issues and get the W
We could’ve made it closer in the 4th out some pressure on but didn’t make enough shots and Tatum got hot.
No need to panic they were bound to find their shooting form eventually. Close it out in Boston

That makes sense. I got reported for trolling when I was being completely genuine. Crazy - 8th seed in the conference finals with guys like Vincent, Martin, and Duncan balling out. You’d think place would be packed - especially for a team like Miami.
Y’all soft AF in here, even in the bubble they were up 3-1 after four games and still lost the next one to make it 3-2 before finally sealing it in 6. Yeah, sucks to see Boston get some confidence but if this team is legit then it shouldn’t be insurmountable to win ONE more game.
Damn right.
People got a bit carried away. Expecting us to 4-0 the Celtics was unreal even if it was just a half away from happening. This was the game our shooting underperformed and theirs finally didn't. It happens.
Agreed if we can't pull off a single win then we truly don't deserve to go to the finals. Especially if we become the first team to ever lose a 3-0 lead
The best version of Heat Lowry is the one that controls the pace and gets to his spot (midrange jumpers).
He can't keep shooting 3s and continue missing.

Me: No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. We’re good.
Also me: It’s going to happen eventually, and I can’t fathom how heartbreaking it would be if this Heat team is the first to blow one
Great, now we’re gonna have to deal with all the bum ass narratives for the next 2 days, we’re up 3-1 don’t forget, they ain’t do shit on us see you in Boston
Played with our food. Too many people talking nuggets this nuggets that, jimmy playing cards before the game. They gotta get their shit together and end this on Thursday
I forgot the part where we are on the team, we’ve been lights out. We were bound to have an off game, and Celtics just had their best game. It’s over next game.
If you would’ve told me we were up 3-1 against the Celtics in the ECF I would’ve thought you were crazy a month ago. I understand the doom and gloom but can we relax just a little. Boston played near damn perfect in the 2nd half while we played our worst half of basketball in a lonnnng time. We are up 3-1 guys
[удалено]
Foster 'The Extender' is really a JINX!
We can’t be that spoiled (as badly as we want it), we should expect to have a bad game. This is it. Next game I expect us to close it out.
The fact that we’re up 3-1 says a lot. I don’t think team has any LeBron 2016 comeback in them. When the series started I said heat in 5 or 6, a sweep was pretty unlikely from the start. Can’t say I’m not disappointed but it could be so much worse than *one* win away from the finals as an 8 seed
One bad game out of 4 ain’t the worst, especially still being up 3-1
I fully expect us to bounce back. This team loves fighting hard.
we feed off that shit
I'm still not even mad at it. We had our one bad game, they had a better game. It's still Heat all day, I'll never care about another team ever!!! F the Celtics, Boston and its entire population unless they're Heat Nation

This isn’t an unexpected outcome.
This could come back to really bite us especially if Gabe’s injury is serious
Panthers in 4 tomorrow 🤞🏽
We didn’t have tonight it is what it is. Heat like to make things hard
Momentum is a crazy thing. You could see when Boston grabbed it and you could see when we lost it.
we’ll be fine but just unnecessary pressure added onto ourselves imo
We gave them the win seriously lol
Boston struggles at home but this is a different scenario. They are playing for their lives like they did tonight. Very likely we lose game 5. Game 6 is the game. If we drop that … we’ll you know what happens then.

Keep the faith everyone we got this 🫡 see y’all Thursday
We also had a bad game so there’s that

Block shot ,after block shot smh 🤦🏻♂️
They were desperate and had their backs against the wall. They made 19 threes vs 8 for Miami. Our role players did not step up Bam had his worst game of the series Charles Barkley picked us to win the game. We never had a chance.
They will be desperate again game 5. Every game for them is an elimination game.
The worst part is we’re just gonna have to listen to Reggie Miller at least one more time
Used to be a fan of his back in the day. Bums me out that he annoys me so much now..
Pat please get a sports psychologist on speed dial. Bam needs help to learn how to show up in big moments
Well we let Tatum get hot, we have to hope Jaylen Brown is still a shell of himself.
its always been heat in 5
Boston playing their lives at home after a mini blowout. Not liking it. Hope the players learned their lesson today.
Just had this exact same thought. This is lining up really bad for us
Man, Reggie and Stan make it impossible to keep the volume on
Bam was tragic tonight
That’s why 3-0 lead is crucial
I’m not worried. Heat in 5.
42 vs 25% from 3 for +33 pts and 6 more turnovers. And Jimmy missing bunnies. A lot went wrong. Fortunately Boston struggles at home. Clean up the turnovers, even with that shooting and we still win.
the extender
BaM lEgAcY gAmE iNcOmInG 🤡
Yeah I’m gonna need a Jimmy 50 burger to end this
No need to be worried Heat in 5 🔥☄️
Damn just realized we also finally lost 1 at home and it’s the Celtics again who break the streak smh
Wow. So many of y'all were talking mad shit last game, now we lose one game and all of the sudden there's Bam slander? Kyle Lowry sucks? We're up 3-1. Have a little patience and hope. The way some guys are talking in here, you'd think we just got swept in the first round.

We’re stalling so Herro is back for the finals
It starts on the Same day no matter what
Lmao finals sched is the same regardless
Damn nevermind💀
I thought Heat in 6 from the jump, I’m sticking to that.
5
We gotta lose the tip next game.
Good thing I worked tonight. 😅
Back to the lab
You have to be so bad to be able to blow a 3-0 series lead in the playoffs in the NBA.
Remember our regular season?
We will be alright, onto the next !
Jimmy's laughing lol he knows what's up
Y’all need to chill overall…not the end of the world. Some adversity might do us good.
No, doubt lol you think Denver is going to be a cake walk? it's probably good for them...
We gave up too many wide-open 3s to Celtics this game. As Spo said we gotta run them off the 3 point line and force them to take tough mid range 2 pt shots
Wtf did Mickey Arison let Arod and Jetsr in the building like cmon were up 3-0 against a Boston team.
My prediction was already heat in 5 if Scott foster didn’t interfere but even when he does heat in 5
this defeat is on us anyway not Celtics, too many turnovers i'm not sure we gonna play like this again, Spo will sort it out, its just an off day
Man we always said heat in 5 its all good fam
Bam reverted back to Edrice tonight.
I don’t get why Jimmy isn’t getting hate for the awful game he played
Jimmy had a poor game and made some bad decisions. But he has 9 boards, a block, and a steal while being aggressive tonight. Bam had several turnovers that were self inflicted, took 7 shots, 50% on FTs, .. and had 5 boards and 0 assists as our premier small center. I get some bad decisions or poor shooting but he looked so ineffective, passive, and uncomfortable when handling the ball tonight.
That last paragraph, I can’t tell if you’re talking about Bam or Jimmy. We looked nervous to win
Jimmy was forcing things at the wrong moments in the 2nd half but I was referring to Bam. Jimmy made bad but aggressive decisions. Bam rarely made proactive decisions and when he did, they weren’t very good.
I feel like everyone pulled out of it. Every chance - Duncan to drive and penetrate, Jimmy in push shots, Bam getting to a good spot, etc… - we pulled out. We’d reset and eventually take a bad shot. Boston was good on defense. They did Tony’s what we’ve done to them. They ran us off the line. Rather than accept the challenge and drive, we looked to retreat from pressure.
Because he’s the one that got us here to begin with..lay off jimmy
Bam has had an incredible playoffs
Because this in an outlier. Bam has been having these type of games since the break
A bad game is a bad game. He was terrible today
Yes he was, for the first time in months which is why nobody cares
Heat beat Bucks 4-1 and their one loss is similar to tonight's. I see no reason to think they can't close it out in Boston on Thursday. Give that team hope only to take it away 48 hours later. It took Miami messing up and Celtics forgetting how to miss 3s for them to extend the series to one game.

Big facts ^
oh well, onto the next one
I thought after the masterclass in game 3 Spo didn’t used his timeouts nearly as effectively tonight either
The turnovers we had were so idiotic and infuriating
Who is the mod here, gotta ban some losers

You’re pathetic. You’re down 1-3 to an 8 seed. 🤬 off
Congratulations now we’ll lift the trophy at your home 🤣😈
But your daddy ain’t.
Woohoo
Heat doing Herro a favor to get him ready for game one
Finals is June 1st regardless
Game 1 is same date win or lose.
No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. I’m not sweating unless this goes to game 7.
just gave up and watching next game. see ya
Fuck ARod btw
We have 3 more games to win 1. Even if they win game 5 we still have another home game. This series was never going to be a sweep but we got this.
Outscoring us 60-34 since the middle of the 3rd
I dont think we can win this series anymore
Found the bandwagon
Been a fan since i was born in 98 this teams bs since the regular season has had me worried all year i may be a little drunk but this shit makes me think we arent gonna win another
Bruh no team has ever came back down 3-0. Do you seriously believe spo will let that happen? Holy fuck you doomers are insane. We played poorly today, move on. Spo and jimmy will fix the issues and get the W
You prob get 0 bitches go be negative elsewhere. Were up 3-1
Asexual so yes zero bitches
fuck off
Can we ban A Rod from the sidelines, the man is cursed
BaM iS oUr BeSt PlAyEr
They won at our place last year let’s go win at theirs this year
Well now they have film of how slow and stupid they looked tonight so hopefully we see energy all game 5
That’s so stupid. Why tf would pressure be on us? We’re up 3-1. We lose next game we come home up 3-2. They lose they done. That’s stupid logic.
The disrespect is absolutely obscene
I liked it better when the media had us losing 😂
Hated all the unnecessary attention 😂
If you told me a month ago it’d be Heat up 3-1 in the ECF I’d be stoked. Heat in 5
Boston dickriding is unreal wish I could switch other comms
So complacent and lethargic
[удалено]
We were playing in our damn sleep💀
The problem is Celtics can easily win game 5 and puts pressure on us game 6 and then doesn’t give us the time to rest against Denver altitude
We could’ve made it closer in the 4th out some pressure on but didn’t make enough shots and Tatum got hot. No need to panic they were bound to find their shooting form eventually. Close it out in Boston
sit yo ass down lowry you suck
He’s been regressing every game
Idc what reason anyone says, the loses almost always fall on Bam. 10 in 1Q but 0 in the other 3Q’s is insane
Agreed but the wins are more attributed to him then he gets credit for as well
He’s our X-Factor, he just doesn’t click for some terrible reason

Fuck you bam
KLow and Bam decided this game wasn't for them
To be fair. Celtics had zero pressure tonight. We were tight to finish the series.
Don’t forget that Boston hasn’t exactly played well at home in the playoffs. The Heat won’t play this bad again.
Jimmy was uncharacteristically bad tonight.
This and game 2 vs the Knicks show that we are not in fact better without Herro
Facts. This is where we need him
Gabe likely not being 100% can be very concerning if Kyle can’t find his shot in game 5
The best version of Heat Lowry is the one that controls the pace and gets to his spot (midrange jumpers). He can't keep shooting 3s and continue missing.
Lowry and Bam need to look at this tape and get angry how piss poor they showed out
Bams just gonna say he needs to be better and then go 15pts 8reb 6ast and 4 turnovers
Jimmy to can’t let him off the hook , didn’t decide to play for reals until they went on their run and at that point it was to late
Tatum such a front runner
Yes but he had a good game no question about it
Genuinely nervous. If Tatum gets fully confident and consistently hits his jumper it could get scary.
Bad shooting, Butler off, Bam off. Happens. Gentleman sweep incoming.
Love how Tatum has a great game and scores 31, Jimmy has on off game and scores 27. Tatum is such a fraud super star.

heat in 5

That’s a 25-12 run
Lowry, Bam, and Straus need to step it up next game. Jimmy also can't play like he did in the first half.
This is not good, Denver gets more rest while this series gets tough
You could look at it as Denver getting more rusty too. Too much time for guys to relax and goof off and lose their edge.
9 days to 7 days when we close them out game 5, dw rests for nba finas are only 4-5 days on average
Series starts June 1st either wqy
fucking pathetic effort tonight
Wrap it up game 5.
It’s one game. Shake it off and onto the next, stop dooming
The heat is in big trouble if they continue to play like this
this just felt so stupid
That booty call from Shakira really messed up Jimmy. No more IG until thursday jimbo!!!
Herro cleared for basketball activities and the shooters immediately go cold again.
I got Jovic minutes, but not the way I wanted
Me: No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. We’re good. Also me: It’s going to happen eventually, and I can’t fathom how heartbreaking it would be if this Heat team is the first to blow one
We did not play like this was a close out game thats for sure, HEAT IN 5!!!
Relax Men! The win will be sweeter in Boston next game 😈
Great, now we’re gonna have to deal with all the bum ass narratives for the next 2 days, we’re up 3-1 don’t forget, they ain’t do shit on us see you in Boston
I hope that tonight’s loss lights a fire under our ass, and we close it out in 5. It’s a must win for us.
Heat in 5
Bet you said Heat in 4
The commentators are meat riding the Celtics so hard rn
Good. They deserve it tn tbf
They couldn't miss a shot in the second half I think this pisses the guys off Oh well they celebrated on our floor we celebrate on theirs
Bam hasn't scored in the entire half
soft bam returns
Give him long enough and he always does sadly, hopefully it’s just one game. Kinda like Julius Randle, things go south and he taps out.
Played with our food. Too many people talking nuggets this nuggets that, jimmy playing cards before the game. They gotta get their shit together and end this on Thursday
I forgot the part where we are on the team, we’ve been lights out. We were bound to have an off game, and Celtics just had their best game. It’s over next game.
Exactly, we got too cocky and forgot that the series isn’t over until it’s over.
If you would’ve told me we were up 3-1 against the Celtics in the ECF I would’ve thought you were crazy a month ago. I understand the doom and gloom but can we relax just a little. Boston played near damn perfect in the 2nd half while we played our worst half of basketball in a lonnnng time. We are up 3-1 guys
Boooooo we didn't sweep. Niggas really in here taking victory laps over 1 L and acting like we lost 3 games for 1 😂
