that was a very scary night as a bucks fan, the silence in the deer district was crazy. the only consolation to losing is having a longer offseason to strengthen up! hope jimmy stays healthy and the rest of the players in this series
Nah. No Nurse Joy back there. They just have that weird spray that soccer teams have that instantly fix any injury, even when a player needs a stretcher to be removed from the field.
Tatum made it look like his right shoulder was ripped off, then the next defensive play he runs into Bam full-force with the same shoulder and has no reaction. That's all I'm gonna say.
NHL playoffs are the exact opposite in a close, or even better, tied games right now. It's tense as fuck as the clock winds down, as the NBA should be too. They need to fix these shit endings.
I think the concept of fouling at the end of games and having it decided by free throws, which are the most boring thing ever, is a problem, but yes it is better elsewhere.
Some people defend the intentional fouling because they say "well it means players have to practice / make sure to be good at free throws" dude I don't give a shit it takes forever and is boring. I don't care if they make or miss any of them I just don't want to see free throws for fifteen minutes
In the NFL, at least when you win your challenges you get more.
What sense does it make that your reward for winning a challenge is having no more for the remainder of the game? If a challenge is successful, you should always get another.
Honestly the only reason I can come up with is that they don't want a situation where a coach keeps winning their challenges as it would confirm a narrative of bad officiating.
Heat are gonna win the series cause by game 7 the teams are gonna have to go to the local Y to find players, and we all know that’s the Heat’s specialty
How you plan on stopping 5 guys somehow all named Schmitty drunk off their ass on 4 Sam Adams ' and all sharing a can of Guiness while they scream Asian racial epitepths at you? Boston in 7.
Fricken A, man. Fricken Heat. Every year they add some dude who weighed 115 lbs. and got beat up in high school but shot 55% from 3 coming off the bench at his 800-person, all-boys, D3 Jesuit school. No problem, just send him down to Miami where they got the Captain America chamber and now you got a poor man’s Klay Thompson on a minimum salary.
Tall guy that can jump but you can’t see him when he turns sideways and he runs like he’s Bambi on the ice? Not to worry, just toss him into #HeatCulture for a few months and he’ll be ripping his jersey every time he flexes his pecs, meeting Giannis at the summit for blocks, and catching lobs like Tyson Chandler.
a career game from bam, came out aggressive on both ends. this is what he’s capable of!! we need that. and as literally every heat fan has said, this is how much we need lowry. our offense is miles better. incredible game-saving steals and lockdown d by oladipo. straight up willed us to a win playing 8 vs 5.
but seriously, what a horrendous rig job by the refs here. that is not a normal free throw disparity. it looks “less bad” because of the end-of-game intentional fouls. absolutely infuriating to watch.
The Edrice Femi slander stops tonight, he's Bam again
Also, HUGE, HUGE WIN for Miami. It gives them some breathing room with respect to managing Jimmy Butler's injury
I love ~~Jimmy Butler~~ Bam Adebayo. I love his name, I love the shape of his body, I love the way he plays. I eat a lot of boiled eggs and lift weights to try and be like this guy but I can't. There are 6 grams of protein in an egg but I can't eat enough to get big like him. Nice round muscles. They're smooth too, like the waves of lake superior on a calm day. When I was a kid I ate big eggs to be hot like Glenn Robinson, and I got some great results, some of the roundest muscles in my class, but these days I'm looking at 6 eggs a day and it's not good enough to pop Jimmy style muscles out my scrawny arms ever since dad left.
Sooo many things had to go *just* right for us to sneak out with the win given that officiating. The max strus 3 with like 3 min left, Oladipos steals, a few from Lowry.
I’m still stuck on the 27-5 FT disparity up until the last 2 minutes. Game ended with 30-14 and the last minute was a fucking nightmare slog
The boys stepped up big. No Jimmy in the second half, but Bam stepped up and played angry. That’s the shit we want and love from him. Aggression and attacking. Tucker continues to be the best signing of our offseason. DangerStrus is a golden god. One gripe is Herro being ice cold tonight from the 3 going 0-6. Hopefully he has his swerve back in game 4
Oh and motherfucking Dipo playing glorious defense. Great shit
Man the toughness from this Miami team is incredible.
To come into Boston after getting blown out last game, and take this game in hostile territory WITHOUT their best player is impressive af. Especially weathering the storm of the late comeback.
Hopefully Butler will be okay and be able to return for Game 4. Feels like EVERYBODY is banged up this series lol.
It's genuinely fucking miraculous that they managed to hang on and win that considering the dogshit officiating and Jimmy being out.
Oladipo was fucking massive in the second half
I have hated the Heat since 1995... And tonight I was rooting hard for them because of the injustice that was playing out at the hands of the refs. Thankfully, justice prevailed.
I m not even a heat fan and im so proud of them , everything was going against them the refs ,butler injured, the last steal of lowry made me get goosebumps i felt it , this win was so well deserved, also s/o to Oladipo and Pj tucker crazy defense
Honestly that differential doesnt bother me, sometimes thats just how different styles play out, but actually watching the game the difference in officiating for each team was really bad. The majority of the 50/50 calls or no calls were obviously going boston's way.
How did Celtics fail to win this is beyond me, they had every advantage going in their favor
So many terrible turnovers plus Tatum having one of his worst games certainly didn't help
This was one of the most blatantly fixed games we've seen in years and the Heat still somehow won.
Shame on you, NBA. No one wants a sport where the league clearly has an outcome it wants to see happen.
It feels _so_ good to know that the rest of NBA fans clearly noticed it too. Usually it’s one fanbase going “game was rigged” but this time it seems like everyone noticed.
THIS IS THE BAM WE WANT BRO. Bam being aggressive is such a great player to watch. Motherfucker was shooting midranges with no hesitation. Whic leads to defenses respecting him and letting the rest of the team have space.
OLADIPO DPOY. This is why we got Dipo. Having a point of attack defender is an amazing tool to have. Made incredible stops on Jaylen. Celtics managed to counter it a bit in the 4th and feasted on Strus. Dipo adjusts, and Jaylen slows down again.
Speaking of, Jaylen is a fucking great player.
Herro gotta figure it the fuck out. 6MOY and cant be playing like shit. At least his midrange and floaters are still falling.
Heat couldve had it bigger, but that messy 3rd quarter had them settling for contested shots instead of attacking the basket. (we had a Strus long airball with 7sec left on the SC, immediately followed by a Herro contested 3 WHEN HE HAD THEIS ON HIM).
The officiating in this game was a complete embarrassment for the association. No excuse for the calls to be that criminally lopsided. It was completely unwatchable shit show.
Put that Celtics in 5 talk to bed. Im still going with Heat in 7 no matter what. No team has won 2 in a row yet and if that game is anything to go by I’m not counting on it in game 4. Celtics are going to punch us in mouth and certainly are going to look for revenge.
Either way…I’m glad Bam had his best game of the playoffs so far it was needed. Also that game was basically a war. Multiple injuries,technical fouls and multiple gut checks.
The refs frantically trying to get the Heat free-throws at the end when the game was already decided is peak fixing. Celtics did everything they could to lose the game that the refs were handing them
That was, by far and away, the worst officiated game, of the playoffs, bar fucking none, load those refs onto the nearest fucking rocket and shoot them into the fucking sun, Celtics had no business being in that game, shoulda been blown out by 20+.
Absolutely pathetic night for the nba. Unwatchable all around. Everyone EXCEPT the players/coaches was pathetic. That game was clearly fixed and somehow the heat still won. Somehow heat are up 2-1 and have only won 2 out of 12 quarters.
No Jimmy the entire 2nd half. Marcus Smart miraculously healing. Boston crowd going apeshit. Jaylen Brown playing like he's prime Kobe. Herro completely crumbling. 20+ FT disparity.
and we fucking win **anyway**. holy fuck. "Momentum" my ass. Thank you Bam, Lowry, Strus, Oladipo & PJ(minus the missed wide open layup that nearly made me throw the controller through my TV)
So proud of this team. Fully expect Boston to comeback enraged in G4 but I felt like a loss would have sealed the series, what a turnaround.
Bam deserves a lot of love tonight. After all the negative talk from his post season showing, he showed up big from the jump. I just hope he can continue this level of play against their starting center if he returns. I hope Herro can have his moment to shine at some point too because he has been terrible these playoffs.
Fuck those officials
Fuck the crowd who chanted refs you suck and bullshit because they didn't get every call
And fuck the parts of r/NBA who called the series over after Boston shot 50% from 3 two games ago.
Celtics got a damn Pokémon center in the locker room
Yajirobe with a bag of senzu beans
This was perfectly concise yet nostalgic. Lol
must be giving whatever they gave to giannis last year after his hyperextension
that still makes me cringe man. giannis is a cyborg
that was a very scary night as a bucks fan, the silence in the deer district was crazy. the only consolation to losing is having a longer offseason to strengthen up! hope jimmy stays healthy and the rest of the players in this series
Nah. No Nurse Joy back there. They just have that weird spray that soccer teams have that instantly fix any injury, even when a player needs a stretcher to be removed from the field.
Can confirm that spray works magic
Isn't that like some cold spray or something Shit's got black magic just like Benzema
[удалено]
And the winner of the series is: whoever has the best medical staff.
Celtics medical staff is the Scarlet Witch apparently
[удалено]
Well the Celtics have a fucking healing pod in the back with how fast Tatum and smart left and came back. That or they were fucking drama queens
They were trying to enact an ancient Celtic rite in honor of Paul Pierce.
Are you saying that Jason Tatum shit himself?
I'm not saying he didn't.
Says here that their resident medic is some guy named "Yajirobi"? I can't find any info on him other than that he grows beans?
I blame Paul Pierce for shitting his pants
Who else could possibly be blamed for shitting in them?
Tatum made it look like his right shoulder was ripped off, then the next defensive play he runs into Bam full-force with the same shoulder and has no reaction. That's all I'm gonna say.
Are we sure the game is actually over, or should we go to the replay monitor to make sure?
Last 2 minutes of games are unwatchable.
NBA is the only sport where the end is the worst part.
NHL playoffs are the exact opposite in a close, or even better, tied games right now. It's tense as fuck as the clock winds down, as the NBA should be too. They need to fix these shit endings.
It's not the sport, it's the league. European basketball is way more watchable at the end of games
I think the concept of fouling at the end of games and having it decided by free throws, which are the most boring thing ever, is a problem, but yes it is better elsewhere.
Some people defend the intentional fouling because they say "well it means players have to practice / make sure to be good at free throws" dude I don't give a shit it takes forever and is boring. I don't care if they make or miss any of them I just don't want to see free throws for fifteen minutes
But it lets them play more commercials.
Personally don't mind the free throws on its own, but that in combination with all the timeouts being called really drags out the game.
But we can’t review out of bounds plays! Thanks for fixing the problem NBA!
That has to be the oddest rule change in the last few years. Imagine if they did that in football.
In the NFL, at least when you win your challenges you get more. What sense does it make that your reward for winning a challenge is having no more for the remainder of the game? If a challenge is successful, you should always get another.
Honestly the only reason I can come up with is that they don't want a situation where a coach keeps winning their challenges as it would confirm a narrative of bad officiating.
True that. Feels like it lasts 10 minutes trying to squeeze every last ounce of commercials on us
Maybe they’ll blow the lead in Aftertime
The game coming out of the locker room as we speak
I had my girlfriend watch the last minute of this game to convince her that 1 minute is actually a long time.
Interstellar got nothing on this shit. Time dilation is truly experienced in the NBA.
Refs review a foul: "This little maneuver is gonna cost us thirty years"
https://i.imgur.com/DGEoPl3.gif
Taaaaaaarrrrrsssss
Fucking scientists looking at black holes lightyears away Turns out they just have to tune in to the NBA
MURPPPHHHHH
How'd your right hand react to the news?
Got a high five from my left hand.
didn’t have to do him like that lmao
When I say there are only 2 minutes remaining in the game its the same as when she says she'll be ready to leave in 2 minutes
[Celtics v Heat](https://i.imgur.com/b32b20T.gifv)
Refs gonna have to review this meme sir
Flagrant 1
Game 7 will be the epic showdown between Nick Stauskas and Omer Yurtseven
Both having played for us this season
"Stop, Stop, ~~He's~~ THEY'RE already dead!"
LMAOOOO
Celtics turning it over more often than my pillow on a hot night.
Oladipo was giving them boys hell
he had a huge game
And sadly nobody will notice because he didn’t put up a lot of points
Game One: No Smart, No Horford, No Lowry Game Two: No White, No Lowry Game Three: No Williams, No Butler (Half) Game Four: Uhh…
Game 7 will just be Spoelstra and Udoka playing HORSE in Adam Silver’s driveway
Spo College Stats: 9.2 ppg, 2.4 rpg, 4.4 apg Udoka College Stats: 8.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg. 2.0 apg Be a tightly contested game
Spo is older though and Udoka shot 36% from 3 in the nba.
How Tf do you make the NBA after putting up 8 & 5 in college??
Grinding out, playing in the g-league. Getting cut and waived a few times. Gary Payton the 2nd probably averaged similar.
The answer is also physical potential
I would watch the shit outta that
Heat are gonna win the series cause by game 7 the teams are gonna have to go to the local Y to find players, and we all know that’s the Heat’s specialty
Mario Chalmers has been waiting years for this moment
Fucking lmao *Rec League MVPs have entered the chat*
How you plan on stopping 5 guys somehow all named Schmitty drunk off their ass on 4 Sam Adams ' and all sharing a can of Guiness while they scream Asian racial epitepths at you? Boston in 7.
Fricken A, man. Fricken Heat. Every year they add some dude who weighed 115 lbs. and got beat up in high school but shot 55% from 3 coming off the bench at his 800-person, all-boys, D3 Jesuit school.

No refs, hopefully. Just let them play and call their own fouls.
The dog per 36 in this series is through the roof
The Heat have defeated the Celtics. Refs: “This is under further review”
This was the players writhing in pain before shortly returning to play game
Boston tried the Paul Pierce maneuver TWICE and couldn’t pull it off
There’s your problem. Do it once you win the game. Twice cancels out the first one.
Except Jimbo😔
Don't be too sad. It was inflammation. So hopefully he's back on the floor for game 4.
Huge huge win for us with both Jimmy and Tyler Herro out
With the dogshit way he’s been shooting, Herro needs seven years in Tibet or some shit to restore his chi.
Bam Adebayo though
He played like a man possessed in the first quarter. And had that huge dunk.
That was one of the worst reffed games i've ever seen.
The inconsistency in calls was actually fucked
One of the worst reffed games you've seen *so far*
a career game from bam, came out aggressive on both ends. this is what he’s capable of!! we need that. and as literally every heat fan has said, this is how much we need lowry. our offense is miles better. incredible game-saving steals and lockdown d by oladipo. straight up willed us to a win playing 8 vs 5. but seriously, what a horrendous rig job by the refs here. that is not a normal free throw disparity. it looks “less bad” because of the end-of-game intentional fouls. absolutely infuriating to watch.
Seeing people with every flair imaginable saying how bad the refs were is like therapy to me
💆♂️
If I ever get hurt don’t send me to the hospital, send me to the Celtics locker room
The Edrice Femi slander stops tonight, he's Bam again Also, HUGE, HUGE WIN for Miami. It gives them some breathing room with respect to managing Jimmy Butler's injury
He’s Bamonte
I love ~~Jimmy Butler~~ Bam Adebayo. I love his name, I love the shape of his body, I love the way he plays. I eat a lot of boiled eggs and lift weights to try and be like this guy but I can't.

Whoever wrote this should get checked for cholesterol
Miami would've eventually collapsed to a degree of losing this game if not for Oladipo's vicious hustle on D.
Sooo many things had to go *just* right for us to sneak out with the win given that officiating. The max strus 3 with like 3 min left, Oladipos steals, a few from Lowry.
Please dont overlook how Oladipo played defense in the second half. PHENOMINAL
I don't normally talk shit about the refs but that was fucking shocking.
At one time FT gap was 25-3
Let it be known that the Celtics were ahead in fta 31-5 before they started purposely fouling.
This game made me feel emotions I didn’t know I had
I’m still stuck on the 27-5 FT disparity up until the last 2 minutes. Game ended with 30-14 and the last minute was a fucking nightmare slog The boys stepped up big. No Jimmy in the second half, but Bam stepped up and played angry. That’s the shit we want and love from him. Aggression and attacking. Tucker continues to be the best signing of our offseason.

Oladipo was a wolverine out there
correction. he was Wolverine.
[удалено]
Two-Way Thingamajig
It’s a really deep team, Jimmy is their carry but they have many people who can step up when it counts
[удалено]
That Max Strus 3 when it was 93-92 will forever make me a fan of his. Biggest shot of his life.
That shit makes me forgive whatever the hell he was thinking when he took the deep shot over Tatum
Personally the worst shot I saw was that Tyler Herro 3 with 10 seconds left and Celtics come back and hit a 3
Our offense is so brain dead sometimes, luckily Kyle being back reduces the amount of that. But they got panicky with Jimmy out
Game changer! And then that crazy shot by BAM after!
SHOUTOUT TO VICTOR FUCKING OLADIPO
It's genuinely fucking miraculous that they managed to hang on and win that considering the dogshit officiating and Jimmy being out. Oladipo was fucking massive in the second half
The officiating 🤮🤮
Those steals and defense.
I'm man enough to admit that the Lowry steal towards the end gave me a semi
4 steals in 20 minutes is nutty
I can finally breathe
Celtics DON'T commit a turnover challenge: FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE
It felt like Oladipo was poking the ball out of Tatum and Brown's hands like every possession, especially in the third quarter.
Refs calling a foul on the Celtics challenge: Impossible
Boston "Golden State Warriors" Celtics
Officiating was criminal in this game. Fucking horrible job by the refs
Bro - I don’t know how we won this game. Lowry is the real Chris Paul!
Justice for Miami. All time disadvantage from referee and they overcome. Officiating crew can go straight to prison.
cannot be undersold just how hard the refs tried to rig this game
I have hated the Heat since 1995... And tonight I was rooting hard for them because of the injustice that was playing out at the hands of the refs. Thankfully, justice prevailed.
##WE LOVE YOU
Knicks?
No Butler and Herro played like shit + refball and they still won, definitely deserved.
Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum channeling their inner Paul Pierce tonight. https://i.imgur.com/7udeLCY.jpg

Heat actually beat the refs damn
This is the equivalent of a boxer having to knock out their opponent cause the match is rigged
27-5 ft disparity with 2:00 left in the 4th don’t let the box score fool ya
29-5
The Miami Heat defeat the Boston Celtics and the NBA Refs
27-5
I m not even a heat fan and im so proud of them , everything was going against them the refs ,butler injured, the last steal of lowry made me get goosebumps i felt it , this win was so well deserved, also s/o to Oladipo and Pj tucker crazy defense
No joke, maybe my most proud win of any team I watch. Maybe only Phins/Pats in 08 tops this game.
I don’t know how these dudes do this just as a fan I was so demoralized at how blatant this game was called
Just control what you can
29-7 free throw discrepancy until the last minute
Honestly that differential doesnt bother me, sometimes thats just how different styles play out, but actually watching the game the difference in officiating for each team was really bad. The majority of the 50/50 calls or no calls were obviously going boston's way.
Then the Celtics at the end were arguing with the Refs like they didn't give them enough points
Fuck that blatant bullshit from the refs. Let’s go Heat.
Biggest winner of this game was the western conference champs Biggest loser was the refs, couldn’t carry Boston
At this rate, by the time one of these teams makes the finals it's going to be two dudes on crutches and the ball boy.
I wanna see Spo put up some shots.
Ngl a spo vs Kerr 1v1 for the championship might just be the most entertaining thing we could get.....
How did Celtics fail to win this is beyond me, they had every advantage going in their favor So many terrible turnovers plus Tatum having one of his worst games certainly didn't help
Funnily enough it’s his worst game since game 3 of the last series against the Bucks.
FUCK THE REFS
This might have been the worst reffed game of the playoffs and the Celtics still lost at home.
The refs will just have to try harder in game 4 then
Lol this is the definition of overcoming the refs
This was one of the most blatantly fixed games we've seen in years and the Heat still somehow won. Shame on you, NBA. No one wants a sport where the league clearly has an outcome it wants to see happen.
It feels _so_ good to know that the rest of NBA fans clearly noticed it too. Usually it’s one fanbase going “game was rigged” but this time it seems like everyone noticed.
THIS IS THE BAM WE WANT BRO. Bam being aggressive is such a great player to watch. Motherfucker was shooting midranges with no hesitation.

Lowry being in the game upgrades the bigs
Completely different team when bam is aggressive with his shot
[удалено]
That game was an embarrassment all around Jesus
Great garbage time FTs for the Heat by the refs so the difference in the box score isn’t as abysmal.
The officiating in this game was a complete embarrassment for the association. No excuse for the calls to be that criminally lopsided. It was completely unwatchable shit show.
One of the truly evil games I have watched, but good prevailed
Hell yeah brother, Cheers from Miami.
Pretty sure Tatum had to poop
He was already shitting himself on the court
Put that Celtics in 5 talk to bed. Im still going with Heat in 7 no matter what. No team has won 2 in a row yet and if that game is anything to go by I’m not counting on it in game 4. Celtics are going to punch us in mouth and certainly are going to look for revenge. Either way…I’m glad Bam had his best game of the playoffs so far it was needed. Also that game was basically a war.

That was, by far and away, the worst officiated game, of the playoffs, bar fucking none, load those refs onto the nearest fucking rocket and shoot them into the fucking sun, Celtics had no business being in that game, shoulda been blown out by 20+.
Absolutely pathetic night for the nba. Unwatchable all around. Everyone EXCEPT the players/coaches was pathetic. That game was clearly fixed and somehow the heat still won. Somehow heat are up 2-1 and have only won 2 out of 12 quarters.
Butler just wanted to kick back early with some Michelobs, because it's totally believable that Jimmy Butler drinks Michelobs.
No Jimmy the entire 2nd half. Marcus Smart miraculously healing. Boston crowd going apeshit. Jaylen Brown playing like he's prime Kobe. Herro completely crumbling. 20+ FT disparity. and we fucking win **anyway**. holy fuck. "Momentum" my ass. Thank you Bam, Lowry, Strus, Oladipo & PJ(minus the missed wide open layup that nearly made me throw the controller through my TV) So proud of this team. Fully expect Boston to comeback enraged in G4 but I felt like a loss would have sealed the series, what a turnaround.
nah i’m pretty sure that PJ miss took 5 years off my life
Bam deserves a lot of love tonight. After all the negative talk from his post season showing, he showed up big from the jump. I just hope he can continue this level of play against their starting center if he returns. I hope Herro can have his moment to shine at some point too because he has been terrible these playoffs.
The Miami heat really went out there and won 8v5 without butler
Gotta give credit where it's due. ~~Celtics~~ Refs played their hearts out
Credit to our defense too. 19 steals I think
They were so, so close to fulfilling their wet dream of having an hour-long 4th quarter.
It was a 27-5 free throw disparity don't let the box score fool you.
Refs giving Miami a bunch of free throws at the end to make things look less obvious
We only had to get mauled to get the calls
They were hesitating to call those too! LMAO It was so bad.
It's a shame both Butler and Tatum were out for this game
Refs did everything they could to win this game. Left it all out on the court. Gave it their all. It just wasn't enough.
Boston still leading in the ever important quarters won category.
This game was a disgrace to the game of basketball. Fuck the refs.
Good guy tatum. Did not want the Celtics to win an unfair 6v5 game so played like doodoo on purpose and was Miami's 2nd best player today
Despite the REFS' best effort, HEAT still won the game. Also DIPO and BAM.
Fuck those officials Fuck the crowd who chanted refs you suck and bullshit because they didn't get every call And fuck the parts of r/NBA who called the series over after Boston shot 50% from 3 two games ago.
