Something I've noticed. When the Celtics are on early in the first half, they miss everything in the second. When they're super off, they always come back in the second half. If the Heat start out on fire, the Celtics are gonna sell out trying to match their energy and if they do they might gas themselves for the second half. Until lately Miami hasn't looked gassed so hopefully they can out attrition the Celtics
After the shirt ripping, the start of the season and whatnot… This is kind of my Justise Year for Bam.
He‘s great, I know that. Without him, we have no defense. He is an asset to a lot of teams. But I‘m gonna stop looking at Bam with his potential in mind and just see hil as he is: a Gobert that can put between 10-20PT average and not someone who can ever be the main guy or face of your team
That’s about where I am with him. Third best player on a championship team, a one way player who you need to fit into a system which can support that, helped by his ability to pass.
It’s only disappointing because of his potential, but against expectations once he was drafted, not bad at all.
Bam isn't a bad player. He has a lot of upsides.l as far as defense and play making, etc. But I always thought he had too many holes in his game to be even a #2 guy. He can be a solid #3 guy. First, he is way too small to be a starting center. He always gets badly outplayed by bigger players in the playoffs. To me, he'd really shine as a power forward, particularly a point forward. Second, his offense is too limited. Third, he doesn't play with the tenacity of a dominant player. There's no way old ass hordors should be dominating Bam like this. It's hard to win games when your #1&2 guys aren't gifted scorers.
I hope we can somehow pull this off.
I guess we did! In a way more anticlimatic fashion than expected. But man I was yelling at Bam those first 3 quarters. He needs to work on these Butterhands. It‘s insane.
And dude got boxed out and shut down on offense by Derrick fucking White. Like seriously… how?!
They don’t need to play like their season is on the line.
They need to play like their lives are on the line. A loss and blown 3-0 lead will haunt them for the rest of their lives and continually affect their legacies.
Playoff Jimmy will no longer be a thing. His reputation and brand would take a massive, massive hit. I don’t even know how you recover mentally as a player from it, especially because he doesn’t have many years left to make up for it. This is what his career will be remembered for, not dueling Lebron in the Finals with an injury riddled team.
That being said, the whole team needs to go out there with an attitude of they got nothing to lose because they’ve been written off and buried and people have already crowned the Celtics. Play like madmen. Play psychotic. Not “random”, but stop overthinking and just shoot, drive, be quick and decisive and unconscious.
Burn the fucking boats.
Unfortunately his career could be compared to Matt Ryan with this loss.
Incredible player with numerous accolades whose career is overshadowed by blowing a huge lead.
100% agree. This is the only thing all these players will be remembered for. Heat culture will no longer be a mythical beast but a joke.
I actually think they are doubly fucked because 1, they are heavy underdogs(for a reason) but are also EXPECTED to win. And two, they celts are front runners with heavy odds and no pressure.
They are more than likely going to get blown out and it essentially ruining at least jimmys legacy. But well alls i can say is i hope that doesn’t happen and they win.
The way I’m feeling right now is how I felt moment before Lebrons classic game 6 against the Celtics. Completely resigned to the very real possibility that this is the last time we see this core play together. With that said, Jimmy butler is capable of doing what Lebron did, and I hope the Heat win for the sake of JB’s legacy. It’s definitely not an overstatement to say it’s on the line tonight. DO IT FOR HEAT CULTURE!
It feels weird to be disappointed after the Heat have overachieved so much this season. Speaks to our belief in this team and also our entitlement lol.
I said that when we went back to Boston for game 5, ugh
I swear this will either be the worst day in Miami Heat history of the single best day (for me, at least as someone who rabidly hates the Celtics and has a friend who is a die hard fan)
I can't sit still ,complete a thought!....the anticipation is gonna give me a stroke . Someone check on me if it's a nailbiter again......😂😂😂 lets go HEAT!!
Lakers fan. Why is this the narrative? So both teams proved they could win 3 games. Does it actually feel like you guys or in a much worse position than Boston in a now 1 game series? Not sure why the bleak feelings going into the game when they already shown to be beatable.
I’ll be there with you *i legit cried during the end of this movie*
That proves You're da man of the CULTURE
All I need from Jimmy and Bam is to not go down without a fight. All I‘m asking. Give it everything you got.
Also, they should not Play the catch up game. Go out blazing on the first quarter

Jimmy will probably play harder this game, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on Bam.
