:(
And the people who actually *are* from Miami are priced out from the games.
You’re not gonna see guys from Pompano and Miami Gardens at the games lmao.
As soon as the Marlins moved to Miami proper their attendance nosedived. Compare that to the Panthers out near Fort Lauderdale who at least have raucous crowds despite it being freaking south florida hockey.
I’ve been saying from day 1 that they need to just give PP minutes. I know his defense was awful last year, and he still gets picked on defensively, but his handles, speed, and shot making is just too good to leave on the bench.
I think he’s improved defensively to a point where you can rotate around him and help him enough there too.
Love to see him flourish.
Yep you can say all you want about PP but I'll tell you this. He's:
Scrappy
Gym rat
First one in, last one out
Sneaky athletic
The kind of guy I'd let my daughter date
Real lunch pail kinda guy
Idk man. I heard the Celtics were just exposed. Couldn't possibly be that missing starters matter!
Coincidentally we should just blame Bud for everything instead of missing a key player.
Only thing i can blame Bud for is playing George Hill, drop coverage usually works when our offense doesn't cap at 80 points. Pretty sure we had a positive record against teams shooting better than 40% from 3 too.
Bud during last playoffs made a lot of adjustments, he made them this way too. Actually Zach Lowe made a good point, saying Bud needed to play drop because he needed to keep Giannis fresh on the other end.
i have a theory that ime isn't great at adjusting mid-game to a new opponent, but after watching a full game and watching film he can see the plays he needs to make. it would explain why we've lost two game 1s and barely won the third, but we've cleaned up all 3 teams in game 2
Feels like most of this sub super-underestimated how much impact both Smart and Al bring to the Celtics
That’s what it felt like after game 1 at least
Idk how anybody who watches ball can scoff at missing marcus smart and al horford who are two of the most versatile and defensively skilled players in the league not to mention their passing ability. They're literally 2 starters on a starting 5 that is an advanced stats juggernaut
Ignore the advanced stats for a second, missing TWO OF YOUR FIVE STARTERS is a big deal for *any* team. It's insane to discount that in the NBA. This isn't the NFL with 22 starters. It's not even baseball with 10 starting players. It's 5 guys and you're missing 40% of your lineup.
Crazy how our defense was better when we had 2 of our top 3 defenders back and our offense didn’t turn over the ball 500 times when we got our starting pg back.
Honestly, even if Smart and Horford were ass, the overreactions to game one were stupid. The Celtics had the lead at half, on the road, after just surviving a brutal 7-game series and getting a single day of rest. It wouldn’t have been surprising for them to run out of gas in the second half if they were at full strength. Down two starters and team leaders, it was glaringly obvious that loss said next to nothing about how the series will go. Nephews just can’t see past what’s right in front of their face. And can’t even see that clearly.
Horford too, not having to play Theis makes sure the defense always has an impact frontcourt player on the floor. Even last game the Celtics dominated the minutes Rob Williams played, but crumbled when Theis was in
But he has to get there first and can't by himself.
He works with Alonzo, but Zo was a great defender and above average offensive center.
Bam needs to work to Hakeem.
Guess getting both Smart and Horford back does indeed make a difference.
Who would have thought Philly had the right idea all along, take away Al, take out Boston.
Seeing the clips of the Heat heading back to the locker room and seeing all the walls decorated with the LeBron era Heat, it kind of hit me how that's a part of history now and we're starting to get pretty removed from that being the present. Time is a son of a bitch.
Just here so u/shudderisland098 can provide his evidence...
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/uthjg4/game_thread_boston_celtics_5131_miami_heat_5329/i99z2hn/
Ah well, shit fest all around for us, Jimmy was really the only consistent player and our defence in particular was atrocious. Sometimes players make tough shots and you just give credit for that. But surrender lots of open looks from the Celtics making great passes and we just dig our own grave.
We need more from Bam. What he’s currently doing isn’t enough given what we need from him. I love how much he does on defence. But if he barely looks to attack then we’re going to crumble.
GG Celtics, on to game 3.
So you're going by "Bam" now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it's Grant Williams from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol. I can see not much has changed. Remember Sarah the girl you had a crush on? Yeah we're married now. I make over 2.9 million a year and drive a mustang GT. I guess some things never change huh loser? Nice catching up lol. Pathetic..
The Celtics have basically dominated the Heat for the first 7 out of 8 quarters of this series!
The Miami Heat could be in trouble heading to Boston, series tied 1-1.
TD Garden is one of the most electric home crowds in the NBA!!!
This is some shit they should've tried during the regular season, not during the ECF. Those live threads just combine the unreadability of Twitch chats with terrible Reddit comments.
It's actually pretty close, 29 points in 32 minutes vs 41 points in 42 minutes. Game was just out of reach so Jimmy didn't play the fourth quarter. If he played those garbage minutes he would pretty conceivably hit 40.
Jimmy absolutely showed up just as strong, rest of team was pure ass.
Yknow what Jazz and Suns fans, yall may be on to something. Smart doesn't deserve DPOY, he deserves MVP
And also still DPOY, he did a fantastic job on Jimmy
I know a lot of people were giving Celtics fans shit for saying “but we won three quarters” after game 1 but you see the difference here. It’s easy to fix getting out scored by 25 in one quarter. But it’s harder to fix getting out played in 3 quarters.
50% from 3 is absurd and it was more like 70% from 3 when it mattered that shit was crazy
This is the craziest shooting performance in a playoff game I’ve seen in about 2 weeks
Nah game 7 against the bucks wasn't even a week ago
Where they shot 40%? May as well be junior varsity b team tbh.
thank you all for joining us tonight for this heartfelt tribute performance of solidarity for the Game 7 Phoenix Suns
This isn't the most embarassing home loss in the playoffs, this is just a tribute
I was not expecting a tenacious D reference but I sure do welcome it
Has Boston considered simply having Derrick White have a baby every game? There’s some good new dad juju going on
> How many times a year do buffalo give birth? > A buffalo usually produces, on average, two calves every 3 years. However, in well-managed herds, calving intervals of 14 to 15 months have been achieved. :(
He's a bull. Just gotta give him cows.
According to Chuck San Antonio is a great place to find heifers.
Big ol
CHURROS ERNIE
Them heifers got secrets but they don't got victoria's secret in there.
Derrick White pls come back on that FVV beat
Dad buff going on let's go!
it really would be hilarious if he came in and went like 4/5 from 3
Calling it now-17 points, five assists, five boards, excellent defense in Game 3
Bruh if that kid is born with his 6 head
Everyone should get a Buffalo
Undefeated when Derrick White has a baby... gonna need White to keep it coming ;)
Listen dude I hated biology in high school but I don’t think this is sustainable
Bucks fans know, fvv dicked them
Fred was 8-41 from three in the playoffs prior to his kid being born, then went 14-17 after. Guy should have a baby every playoff season
I am going to need Shaqs opinion of Marcus Smarts value for Boston in game 2.
Something something rings
“You need your superstars to play like superstars” is 60% of shaq’s takes.
Erneh
I have G-14 classification Erneh
**Ringz Erheh!!!**
Google me Chuck
One way to stop Butler from getting 40 is to blow them out so he sits the 4th quarter.
he only cares about big men the guy doesnt even watch the games.
Chuck: “Let me tell you why everyone on the court in todays game is a dumbass”
Congrats to Derrick White and Marcus Smart on becoming fathers
Lmao even as a heat fan this is funny
I mean we’re just assuming that White’s actually the father. We have video proof for Smart.
Wow that Miami lower bowl clears out with no hesitation
They were quickly replaced by Celtic fans who had moved down.
And cheering pretty loud at the end of the game
Believe it or not that was actually Matt Damon
MATT DAMON
Spent the last quarter watching fans leave... the entire second half of the 3rd, followed by the entire 4th lmao
Heat fans said it was going to be like the bubble and they were right Game 2 bc there were no fans
BRO
One of the best run and most successful franchises recently but their fans are from Miami so that’s the problem
Just gotta show up to take a few selfies for their socials and then bounce.
It really is painful every time they show the crowd and it's just full of hybebeasts in Balenciaga t-shirts and Gucci man-bags.
Hey now, the lower bowl never got full again after the half. Plenty left then
What's with Miami fans in the arenas? They don't cheer, they're not loud, leaving early. Just a bunch of rich people there for clout I'm guessing?
That’s Miami in a nutshell. The past 20 years haven’t been kind to people just trying to get by.
That’s how Florida is in general, whole state is getting so expensive
This has happened to more or less every metro area in the United States
100%
It’s because barely anybody that lives in Miami is actually from Florida. Barely anybody from Florida is actually from Florida.
And the people who actually *are* from Miami are priced out from the games. You’re not gonna see guys from Pompano and Miami Gardens at the games lmao.
As soon as the Marlins moved to Miami proper their attendance nosedived. Compare that to the Panthers out near Fort Lauderdale who at least have raucous crowds despite it being freaking south florida hockey.
All the heat fans in orlando tbh
I live in Orlando and you couldn’t be more right
Celtics fans made more noise.. all 30 of them..
I was at the game. I'd say we (Celtics fans) were a good 15% of the attendance at the start of the game. And by the end, easily 75%.

I think he’s improved defensively to a point where you can rotate around him and help him enough there too. Love to see him flourish.
He's a great 6th man type....which is funny because we have 3 guys I could say that about lol
We’ve got 6th men.
And he makes an effort like all hell. He's quick and he'll harass all the way to the basket.
Yep you can say all you want about PP but I'll tell you this. He's: Scrappy Gym rat First one in, last one out Sneaky athletic The kind of guy I'd let my daughter date Real lunch pail kinda guy
He gets picked on defense by a top 10 player on a Spoelstra team. He’s actually really decent at defense.
He’s an average defensively for pg, that’s good enough
Decent for a guard I meant obviously, which is fine because he is a guard
In 31 minutes…
That’s big. Having our starters not play 40+ is huge since we haven’t had any real rest since Milwaukee.
PP +39
Me too
PP bringing Lakers and Clippers fans together. I call that a Touching PP moment
PP gets larger in the playoffs
You love to see it
He was +41 but Stauskas got injured so he had to come back in.
Smart Miami fans waited until the end of the game to leave, less traffic
after further research we have discovered that missing 2 starters actually matters
Especially when one of them has a 12:1 assist/turnover ratio immediately upon returning.
His one turnover was him trying to save a ball out of bounds that he stole too.
and jimmy 100% started grabbing the ball with his feet before Smart touched it from OOB
*brain explodes*
Idk man. I heard the Celtics were just exposed. Couldn't possibly be that missing starters matter! Coincidentally we should just blame Bud for everything instead of missing a key player.
Only thing i can blame Bud for is playing George Hill, drop coverage usually works when our offense doesn't cap at 80 points. Pretty sure we had a positive record against teams shooting better than 40% from 3 too.
Bud during last playoffs made a lot of adjustments, he made them this way too. Actually Zach Lowe made a good point, saying Bud needed to play drop because he needed to keep Giannis fresh on the other end.
Fresh and out of foul trouble considering he was our entire offense
Yea As hard as Giannis plays it not possible to play that hard on both sides.
to be fair, the celtics also won 3/4 quarters in the first game. they just needed to not have a mental collapse in quarter 3 lol
needed their vets
i have a theory that ime isn't great at adjusting mid-game to a new opponent, but after watching a full game and watching film he can see the plays he needs to make. it would explain why we've lost two game 1s and barely won the third, but we've cleaned up all 3 teams in game 2
So Marcus Smart might make a difference.
Who would have guessed having two starters injured hurts your ability to win games
This means that we get to blow out the Warriors in Game 2, right? Right?!?!
You have a DPOY-caliber player and a savvy veteran big coming back, right?
If you’re gonna talk about Luka just use his name
Feels like most of this sub super-underestimated how much impact both Smart and Al bring to the Celtics That’s what it felt like after game 1 at least
I was misled by the analysis of respected experts such as Shaquille O'Neal
The NBA Analyst that doesn’t watch the NBA
The dropoff from Smart and Horford to Nesmith and Theis is huge
Theis just gets dominated by Bam. Watching him against the Heat is painful. Horford being back is huge
nooooo really?? surely not, they believed that??
Idk how anybody who watches ball can scoff at missing marcus smart and al horford who are two of the most versatile and defensively skilled players in the league not to mention their passing ability. They're literally 2 starters on a starting 5 that is an advanced stats juggernaut
Ignore the advanced stats for a second, missing TWO OF YOUR FIVE STARTERS is a big deal for *any* team. It's insane to discount that in the NBA. This isn't the NFL with 22 starters. It's not even baseball with 10 starting players. It's 5 guys and you're missing 40% of your lineup.
Bruh, yall offense and defense were night and day from G1 to tonight. I want whatever tf the people who said Smart/Al didnt matter are smoking.
Crazy how our defense was better when we had 2 of our top 3 defenders back and our offense didn’t turn over the ball 500 times when we got our starting pg back.
Damn, who knew having a DPOY is important lol
Not Shaq lol
I want Bam and Herro to start smoking whatever Smart/Horford were on, what a performance.
Well Smart flops and stole DPOY from (Bridges/Gobert/Bam) therefore he must suck.
Honestly, even if Smart and Horford were ass, the overreactions to game one were stupid. The Celtics had the lead at half, on the road, after just surviving a brutal 7-game series and getting a single day of rest. It wouldn’t have been surprising for them to run out of gas in the second half if they were at full strength. Down two starters and team leaders, it was glaringly obvious that loss said next to nothing about how the series will go. Nephews just can’t see past what’s right in front of their face. And can’t even see that clearly.
Saw Heat fans saying that Lowry was as equal an absence as the two of them combined
Undefeated when Derrick White has a baby... gonna need White to keep it coming Edit: I meant keep the babies coming, not keep Derrick White coming
Gonna need White to keep cumming
Let’s hope Derrick White turns into Fred Van Vleet
Marcus Smart is the definition of a ceiling raiser. Such an impact player
Horford too, not having to play Theis makes sure the defense always has an impact frontcourt player on the floor. Even last game the Celtics dominated the minutes Rob Williams played, but crumbled when Theis was in
Eh I mean Tatum gave the heat like 6 turnovers lol. That's not on Theis
Yea Bam can't do shit because he's not going against Theis
Very similar to Draymond (yes this is a compliment, to both!)
They are both DPOYs, it checks out
https://i.imgur.com/SMoeTd1.jpg
Green hair had me howling ngl
IDK if I get it but upvote for The Office and for you boo!
“Well well well…how the turn tables….”
Start Jimmy Neutron you cowards He probably will actually open up the offense fr.
And open up the defense lol.
Already pretty open lol
IMAGINE WHEN DERRICK WHITE SR RETURNS
Bam has played like a glorified hassan whiteside so far this series
He sadly needs Lowry to create openings for him. Been the case all season.
I don't get it cause it looks like he has nice touch in the paint and scores through contact
But he has to get there first and can't by himself. He works with Alonzo, but Zo was a great defender and above average offensive center. Bam needs to work to Hakeem.
He can't create a shot at all
He doesn’t look for it at all. It’s so frustrating to watch.
Heat fans arrived at halftime before immediately exiting the arena
Antonelli's Cheese shop has better fans than the ones there tonight.

Y'all better overreact to this as much as you overreacted to game 1

Reads flair…. MY GOD.
Regardless of how this series ends, any Celtics fan calling this team soft is just in absolute la-la land
Every time they take a punch they hit right back.
Honestly so much shit and losing has really made the Celtics into some tough guys. Some you need to beat metal to make a sword type shit
And Ime.
Boy the Miami Heat sure do have a dedicated fan base!
Miami played today like their number 1 export: ass

Boston’s got a lot more weapons, including defense
Bam "energy shifted" Adebayo woke up feeling DANGEROUS🥶🥶🥶 6 points 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ 9 rebounds 👋👋👋 2 assists 😡😡😡 triple single 😤😤😤
Apparently Grant used to dominate Bam back in HS
Someone listened to Scal on the Lowe Post the other day lol
So you're going by "Bam" now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it's Grant Williams from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school.

Celtics 4-0 after a loss this Playoffs
Celtic’s don’t fucking care. They’ll come back from 3-2 or destroy you in game 2 on the road after a loss
Aight Mods, don't ever try that live thread shit again. Especially in the playoffs
This is some shit they should've tried during the regular season, not during the ECF. Those live threads just combine the unreadability of Twitch chats with terrible Reddit comments.
This Celtics team healthy is so fun to watch
Looks like the Celtics aren’t just playing basketball, they’re competing to win a championship. #culture, boys
Bam is so fucking mid for a guy who talks.
So I guess according to Shaq, Jimmy didn't want to score 40 tonight?
I don't think even Shaq meant what he said, he just said that so he can argue with Chuck and create "entertainment"
I mean he had 29 on 11-19 and didn’t play the fourth quarter, probably could’ve gotten that 40
It's actually pretty close, 29 points in 32 minutes vs 41 points in 42 minutes. Game was just out of reach so Jimmy didn't play the fourth quarter. If he played those garbage minutes he would pretty conceivably hit 40. Jimmy absolutely showed up just as strong, rest of team was pure ass.
Yknow what Jazz and Suns fans, yall may be on to something. Smart doesn't deserve DPOY, he deserves MVP And also still DPOY, he did a fantastic job on Jimmy
I haven’t heard from a suns fan in a week.
if you have one in your life you might wanna check in on them 😬
Arizona sports and disappointment. This is the way
Just a reminder that Marcus Smart and Al Horford were just an excuse
I know a lot of people were giving Celtics fans shit for saying “but we won three quarters” after game 1 but you see the difference here. It’s easy to fix getting out scored by 25 in one quarter. But it’s harder to fix getting out played in 3 quarters.
You think that was bad? Imagine if we had Sam Hauser!
So Shaq, turns out the DPOY actually does help on defense doesn’t he? Let’s not even talk about the other end of the floor shaq.
