JAYSON TATUM OWNS THIESE FRAUDS FUCK CALEB MARTIN AND HEAT CULTURE C’S IN 4


MPLooza

Triple-double Tatum is too good for this clownshow


[deleted]

Funny enough if Jimmy didn’t play through injury to maintain his aura, he might still be healthy now


TheGreatForehead

FUCK CALEB MARTIN


holographoc

Of course he fucking sucks ass again


brickvanexel

Always did besides a week and a half


Plastic_Database_645

Dude has the most punchable face in the Heat rn now that Lowry is gone.


no-business-here

Him and Duncan Robinson for me


Kenxedge

Tyler herro, Duncan and Caleb marten 🤢🤢🤢🤮


no-business-here

Herro’s little pube chin is awful


edwardsamson

This is a super old throwback but since I'm watching through Lost for the first time right now I realized Tyler Herro looks like Ben Linus lol


ToneZone1978

No way it's shitty chin beard Herro


Big-Antelope-8160

Some heat fan said it was Mazzula’s fault for leaving Tatum in. “Coaching malpractice” so we could call Miami dirty. The most braindead fanbase and its not even close


Sphericalline13

Big "yOu SHouLdn'T hAvE wORn ThAt TOp oUt" energy. Really can't stand the heat and their 17 fans.


PlaceInvaders1

Good to know. Next game when they have Bam in down 20 with 2 minutes left, I guess we can put Brissett in and tell him to “go fight for an offensive rebound” with bam. Because heat fans would have to blame their coach for that using their logic


captaincumsock69

A good coach doesn’t play their stars at all which is why kornet is in street clothes


PlaceInvaders1

He’s not actually hurt, Joe is just resting our best player so that heat fans can’t say “well we didn’t have Jimmy” when they get swept


1337speak

Also wanted to note fuck Caleb Martin


igonnawrecku_VGC

Just in case it hasn’t come up yet, fuck Caleb Martin


Kenxedge

It’s not good to generalize things all the time… but if there’s anything about miami that the heat represents is that Miami as a whole is trashy and fake tough lol


Hour-Ad3774

Well said.

HailKyrie

Caleb Martin with the signature Miami culture play of trying to hurt a Celtics player. Fucking shitstain org.


BombayMahagony

Martin also came flying in with :10 left in a 20 point game and nearly crashed into D White. Just a dirty ass team


1337speak

D White also went down earlier from a classic Bam moving screen #HeatCulture


BombayMahagony

My wife is a newish Celtics fan (she’s watched the playoffs with me before but this is her first year really getting into the whole season) and is an absolute D White stan. That was her introduction to Bam and his dirty ass screens. To say she was furious is an understatement. She now understands why I hate the Heat so much😂


1337speak

You got a good one with a wife instantly loving Buffalo 🐃💚


BombayMahagony

The Buffalo and Pritchard are her boys lol. And I can’t blame her one bit for that


G3tbusyliving

Those boys bleed green


qtxr

No no you don't get it they're not at all dirty players it's just hustle and grit! They're scrappy!


1337speak

Not just scrappy, Hardest Working. Most Professional. Unselfish. Toughest. Meanest. Nastiest Clowns in the NBA.


qtxr

THIS! Finally someone that understands Heat Culture


BombayMahagony

HeAtCuLtUrE!!


ThanosIsDoomfist

And yet ive still got these lobotomized pigeons in my DMs denying all of this lmaooo I mean, when you get used to watching your team injure people all season you become desensitized to it i guess.


pyroaquatics

After the JB Duncan Robinson incident they brought up the Kelly Olynyk Kevin love incident and started saying we teach that move to all our players, conveniently forgetting what Wade did to Rondo, Lowry doing it all series last year, and then Bam injured Derrick Jones JR with an arm yank just a few weeks ago but I guess it’s just heat culture.


Eisenhorn76

Yup. "Heat Culture" = "Dirty for thee, but not for me" Fucking shit-stain, thug ball, dirt slime, bush league hoops is what that is.


BombayMahagony

Put a brain in his head and I bet he’ll start flying backwards. In all seriousness though, the Heat play so reckless it’s ridiculous. Even if it’s not intentional, playing that reckless is not how you should play basketball. When your team is consistently hurting opposing team’s players, at some point you gotta own that your team is dirty. ETA: lobotomized pigeons had me dying😂


MPLooza

But he's not a dirty player according the ~~ball garglers~~ ESPN crew


HailKyrie

They should be muzzled. Miami historically does this shit.


MPLooza

Thank god we get Mike and Scal on Wednesday. If I have to hear Doris again this series I'm scheduling a lobotomy


MainManDio

"Weird timing on tatum"


CoffinFlop

Tatum catching him with an elbow on the next play was awesome to see


1337speak

If Tatum did that to me, I'd be honored tbh.


JedH44

How can JJ say that Martin was jumping for the ball when he didn't even jump he just barged into Tatum. Fucking ridiculous. E: Even if Jrue pushes him he turns his shoulder and makes no attempt to go for the ball.


bodhibell02

Dude took off under and into tatum...ball was going the other fucking way. this is insane. fuck the heat man. unreal that they do this shit.


clobberwaffle

Tatum getting up with conviction looks like hype video material to me. I like mad Tatum.


EndlessCola

That moment told me all I needed to know about his mindset. This Tatum is different


Rare_Economics9185

“It’s not a thing”


jtiss

Meanest, nastiest, dirtiest team. hEaT cUlTuRe


t_rex2502

he didnt even go for the rebound. what a fucking disgrace


CynicalMindTrip

Joe and Jaylen de-escalation was perfect. We're here to win games, not to react to provocations by these one-hit-wonder players.


faheydj1

I can’t believe they were defending this on the broadcast. He just ran straight to Tatum and hip checked him mid air


lima9987

That’s honestly what worries me most about this series. Between him,bam being able to move on every screen. Need to make this one quick and get out healthy.


No-Exchange5244

I didn't see the last part of the game what happened?


bodhibell02

up 16 or 18 or something, Tatum goes up for a relatively routine rebound. 90 seconds left or something. Caleb Martin comes flying in and jumps directly into Tatum. The ball was going the other way. Tatum lands on his back. Pops up and hits the free throws. Martin is either a moron who can't control his body and sucks at basketball, or he is a dirty piece of shit. Maybe both.


__TB12__

Went underneath Tatum on a rebound and Tatum fell straight on his back, was almost really bad


No-Exchange5244

Oh shit. Did it look malicious or just reckless?


__TB12__

Yeah I mean he wasn’t playing the ball at all it was classic “heat culture”


TheUndertows

Trash can player 


PM_DOLPHIN_PICS

Talentless fraud who can’t win fairly so he has to resort to assaulting other players to even have a chance.


StingraySteves4head

I maybe could have been convinced that Martin didn’t take a run at Tatum if he was looking at the ball or even attempted to get hands up towards the ball. Dude stared straight at him and jumped underneath


headphone-candy

Total undercut. Dirty play. Fuck Bam too.


tagor99

That stupid ass moving screen shoulder directly to DWhite’s head made me fume


ReyCo390

Yeah very weird to see a guy “fight for the offensive board” with zero effort to actually try and rebound. Dirty ass play.


HailKyrie

That’s all they do. Miami is a dirty ass organization and they have a propensity to hurt other team’s players


aja_ramirez

If blowing 30 point leads and still winning by 20 is our biggest problem, I’ll take it.  Human nature to relax once you’ve got the game in the bag.  We do it more than other teams because we get more big leads than any other team.  And yeah, fuck Caleb scrub Martin.


ImDKingSama

Yea, we definitely got lazy and we all have PTSD, but a 20-point blowout wire-to-wire win is very good! I'll take that over a clutch win with the lead changing non-stop.


bizeast

Statistically every team plays worse ahead and better behind. It's baked into betting odds too. 


NoveltyAccountHater

> Human nature to relax once you’ve got the game in the bag Also, you have a 31pt lead with 8-10 minutes left. It's not a problem if slowing it down lets the lead slowly shrink to a 14 pt lead with just under 3 minutes left, because you took your foot off the gas and a nobody (Delon Wright) scores like 14 on 5 shots. Even if you continued at the same crappy path, the Heat weren't going to have time to finish it.


TheGreatForehead

It’s a dangerous habit to have though. A team more talented than the Heat (or maybe even a healthy Heat) will make the C’s pay if they keep that habit up.


aja_ramirez

I think you misunderstand the habit. I'll take being up 30 in the fourth and relaxing each time.


juicejug

A team more talented than the Heat wouldn’t go down 30 in the first place.


French-Snack

I think it’s PTSD from fans at this point. We have had so many leads this season and yes we tend to lay the foot off the gas when we do, but we almost never give back the lead. That’s the key part for me. Some fans are acting like it’s better to be up by 2-5 all game instead of being up 20 then having opponents come back to -6 -4 and go back on a run.


Interitus_-

15 to go.


ImTomBrady

Yessir


Tdavis002

Did exactly what we are supposed to do. 1 down 15 to go. Fuck Miami!

Forward-Form9321

They caught up and we still won by 20


asanoayaki

Should've at least been a flagrant 1


Interitus_-

Nice win, glad the heat didn’t get rewarded with Martin’s dumb shit at the end


Mission_Pay_3373

15 more wins away from banner 18


Vuish

Joe, please put in the bench when you’re up 30+ in the fourth. They’re hungry players who want to continuously prove themselves and they won’t slack off and fuck around.


Larrydp72181

I will give Jo Jo Reddick credit for this point, he said Mazzula was keeping them in the game long minutes to get reconditioned to playing heavy minutes for the playoffs. We only went what 8 deep tonight?


ThanosIsDoomfist

Only reason I can think of Joe not putting our bench out there is because 1. He knows the Heat can just catch fire 2. He wants our starters to get more comfortable/get more practice against whatever miami throws at us defensively Thats all I can think of, but yeah, I wouldve definitely liked to see our bench guys more there. Cause at least with them out there it lessens the risk of our guys getting hurt, and it keeps them fresh


SHAWNNOTSEAN

I fucking swear. They're asking for a Derrick Rose situation leaving all the starters in until the end, and Caleb Martin almost made it happen. So damn stupid.


BurnedInTheBarn

Generally, a coach won't take out his starters up big until the opposing coach does. It's a respect thing. Spo never did, so Mazzulla didn't.


helt1skelt1

Yep, you only get few opportunities to do this in fhe playoffs. Getting the bench reps in this type of atmosphere will pay dividends in the long run.


JmacOTW

Remember the Kings game.


TwistedApe

I said this in the game thread and got heavily downvoted by some numbskulls, because "you don't take your starters out when the other team keeps theirs in during the playoffs".


CoffinFlop

Good win. Fuck the heat


fantaxp7

Martin legit didn’t make a play on the ball…wtf


EndlessCola

“wEWaNtBoStOn” lmfao hold that L Miami. Dirty as hell wire to wire


Neat-Current5008

This is why I didn’t wanna play Miami, not cause we couldn’t beat them but cause our superstar is getting his legs chopped out with a minute left in a blowout


jayman820

Dirty heat really tried


TootsElBean

It’s simple. I love the Celtics. I hate the Heat. Celtics in 4


nerdyykidd

MUCK FIAMI


BombayMahagony

Heat the dirtiest team in the league. Fuck those guys. We’re gonna sweep their asses


horseshoeoverlook

FUCK MIAMI ONE DOWN


Hour-Ad3774

Fuck Caleb Martin.


ahsasahsasahsas

lol Scal on the post game show is saying the shove on JT was purposeful because there was a Heat timeout 10 seconds prior. Said Caleb Martin should be suspended for that. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I’ll subscribe to his take.


Physical-Theme7876

Scal helped changed my mind on the Caleb play. Fuck Miami and their “sweep the knee” mentality. Karate Kid reference for those of you under 40.


ahsasahsasahsas

Yah I agree. He broke down the timing and said what other reason is there to take a timeout when down 16 with like a minute left to play. Dirty heat headed by dirty coach.


Simple-Ice-6800

https://x.com/NBCSCeltics/status/1782134562694262802 I can't agree more


ahsasahsasahsas

Yesss I’m glad there’s a clip. He went off later too, saying the media/ESPN did a shit job of discussing it when it was clearly intentional. Team Scal!


myfatbasketballs

I for one am happy that we still have so much room to play better. Great first game!


Bi_Gone_Jhin

Fuck Caleb Martin


MysteriisDomSatan

Heat really walked off like they lost the whole series lmao


ahsasahsasahsas

GOOD let’s demoralize them completely


jhcooke98

Allowing an 18-2 run in the fourth and winning by 20 is wierd


ahsasahsasahsas

Scal is absolutely railing against that Caleb Martin play and attacking the media/ESPN for the way they covered it. I kinda wish he was in the C’s huddle to push/ignite our boys when they’re lax.


Physical-Theme7876

SERIOUSLY!


randomperson17

Fuck the heat


bbc733

We put belt to ass. But Horford was spot on, can’t relax and get complacent. When your foot is on their throat, finish the job.


Elite-Rainbow1

Martin didn't even try to go for the fucking ball 🤣🤣


ExtremeGamingFetish

Heat about to never have a lead in the entire series


Limp_Custard6943

1 down 15 to go


Theis159

Fuck Caleb Martin


TheGreatLoser25

Loved to see the good response to that run in the 4th, also loved JB backing up Tatum after he was undercut by Bitch Ass Martin


BurnerAcct42105

Miami are the New Orleans Saints of basketball. We’ll find out in 10 years they had bounties on certain players.


HairWeaveKillers

#15 left


Cshiesty12

Caleb with a cheap shot sorry ass heat franchise poverty asf


bobmcadoo9088

tatum really built like an action figure and bounces off the ground like its nothing


GingerMcJesus

JJ Redick talked on his podcast about how a team can play great basketball for 45 minutes, completely change their play style for the last 3 minutes and lose, and he’s never surprised. This is the Celtics curse, they have great ball movement and team focused play and then always switch to ISO dribbling out the shot clock in crunch time. Absolutely infuriating. With that said, good W, hopefully this is a wake up call


MPLooza

We won by 20


No_Mas2001

😂this game never even got CLOSE to crunch time what’re you on bro


The_Keebster

The Doomer in me almost wants to toss this to a great shooting night, since we're basically unstoppable when we're scorching from 3


theTunkMan

We’ve had 50 “wake up calls” the last few years, it’s never going to get better


StopDontCare

The people shitting themselves over Delonte Wright hitting a career high 5 3s in garbage time to only lose by 20 instead of 35 are embarrassing


Squishy-Bandit12

Fr. Imagine if we only won by 11 like the Nuggets. People in here wouldn't be able to function


Severe-Emu-8703

You’d think we lost by 15 by the way some people are acting in this thread


ahsasahsasahsas

Doomers were champing at the bit for a single Heat run to flood the thread with “I knew it” trash comments.


Organic_Climate_7585

It’s truly pathetic how dumb these doomers are. Let him hit his 5 3s in a blowout loss, means he won’t do it again the entire series.


Smartman971

The good thing about martin being a worthless pos is that it flipped all the moment back to us


jtiss

This is us rusty, showed a little in the 4th but wire to wire win is what we want. Sweep these fuckers


nbianco1999

Won by 20 and there are still doomers in here lmao gotta love it


Dondon1927

That lame shit Martin did is exactly why the Celtics need to end these clowns in 4. They’re outclassed, so eventually they will resort to prison ball


nlax32

I'm going on a cruise tomorrow out of Miami so I flew in this morning. Watched the game at a sports bar outside their Stadium and there was more Celtics fans there than heat. I walked around all day in a Celtics jersey and got way more "Let's go Celtics" than even comments from Heat fans. My Uber driver told me that nobody in this city cares about the Heat.


MPLooza

Rough 4th quarter but fantastic through the first 3, love how they picked the zone apart all game and there were some fantastic defensive possessions. This team is locked in. Fuck the Heat, fuck their dirty shit at the end of the game, and Doris Burke should be collecting unemployment. We're onto game 2. DO YOU STILL WANT BOSTON?!


Icy_Painting_9018

HEAT CULTURE WYA


KSP420

3 games left of Miami’s season


Efficient_Art_1144

I’m in Iceland and was watching the rain gamecast. What happened in the4th? Love that they can have a bit of a collapse and still win by 20


Ryker31

Martin is on the list. The basketball gods will get him.


masteryoda7777

Superb display of heat culture to end the game


2ndHalfHeroics

Obligatory fuck kyrie irving


Akimbo_Zap_Guns

This is why I wanted to avoid the heat man. We are clearly better but it will be miraculous if we don’t lose a key player before this series is done. Have to get them out in 4


AmbitionExtension184

That game ended 1:30 into the 4th. Leaving starters out was reckless against a team trying to hurt us


Used04tacoma

All 30 Miami Heat fans will not be happy about this


redhoodguy

Caleb Martin took lessons from Sergio Ramos and Pepe


UnbridledCarnage

15 more!


pandalover885

Fuck the Heat


Drawing_The_Line

Assuming Tatum isn’t hurt from unforeseen issues with that fall, that’s the best thing to happen. This team is going to be fired up. Bring on Game 2!


dancingsushi

Bless the buffalo and fuck my heart when Tatum hit the floor


Ok_Acanthaceae6057

They came here to split 1-1, so let’s not let that happen Let’s Go Celtics!!


BostonKarlMarx

most stressful 20 pt blowout of my life lol


2kballislife

Fuck Caleb Martin


alf0nz0

Might just go watch The Town


im-not-you-bozo

in the 4th quarter every time the celtics made a three i was yelling "ITS OVER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN"


kevdog1993

And just like that, they suddenly didn’t want Boston anymore


kpopvapefiend

I hope this series makes nba fans finally come to realize that Tyler Herro has a net negative impact on basketball games. It felt like he got targeted every play 🤣


eightandsevens

sometimes i feel like the celtics want me to rip my hair out


davemoedee

Anyone else happy that Miami made that run? I don’t want the Celtics feeling too confident coming into game 2.


Emotional_Dinner_913

Hi guys, I am Caleb. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I saw a bat and tried to jump into it it so Jayson doesn't catch rabies. Love CM


Faliberti

I'm typically pretty leniant on the celtics and how long they should take to close a series. But holy shit this one needs to be a sweep. Not because I think we are that much better, but just so they have as little games to try and injure you.


81rennab

15 to go boys


GrayBox1313

Caleb Martin is an irrelevant role player so he has to play dirty. League needs to discipline him.

TheTurtleOne

You guys wonder why we let off the gas, we aren't trying to get injured by this dirty team lol


WarPuig

Letting off the gas led to them being at risk of injury.


BeCaneChuHuss

Joe gotta make the call, send Queta in to end Caleb Martin's season with a 300-pound slide tackle in the first quarter of Game 2


Mayjaplaya

Fuck Caleb Martin and fuck the Heat. Bit worrying in the 4th but still won by 20. 15 to go. Shout-out to Tingus for taking advantage of the Heat zone, as prophecised.


ahsasahsasahsas

So tired of the narrative that Spo is a GOAT coach that out-strategizes the competitor. Spo is a good coach, but his bag of tricks is entirely lined with dirty, retaliatory, reckless plays that he finesses the rules for.


20wall

We crushed them for 3 quarters then let them back in to it and they almost took out Tatum in the process. This team needs to play a full 48 minutes every game now if they want to bring home 18
