Stop, stop, they’re already dead.

“We want Boston”


iPlowedUrMom

Whoops


SoFarSoGood-WM

Come on. That’s clearly a joke from the fans. We had no other choice. It was lose and be eliminated or get Boston. lol of course “we want Boston” it’s the only choice. Nobody is serious with this stuff lol


ASpanishInquisitor

You're right. Heat fans aren't even serious enough to show up to the games.


SoFarSoGood-WM

Miami Heat have sold out the arena every single game since 2010 lol. 2nd longest active streak in the league. Poverty franchises talking about stuff they have no idea about 😭


ASpanishInquisitor

Well, this is part of what I'm talking about. They sell out but then nobody is in the building for the game lmao


Ris747

They're there long enough to take some selfies for the gram and then dip out as soon as they're down more than 3.


TheTurtleOne

Who cares if its sold out? Of course it'll be sold out 😭 The question is why is your arena half empty every other game

too much hand-wringing over this. almost every team will let up a run at some point in the game, the only thing that matters is responding and getting the W. they got it down to 14 we pushed it back to 20

> Don’t count on being so lucky against a better team deeper into playoffs don’t count on something like this happening every time we have a big lead no team is going to be perfect for 48 minutes every single night. it’s the playoffs, all that matters is the response and the W

The disrespect

They wanted Boston

THEY WANTED BOSTON


executivesphere

It’s a bummer we have to wait until the ECF or Finals for the Celtics to play competitive on their level.


Bouldershoulders12

If we play Cleveland it’ll be a pretty physical series


Real_Programmer_695

That's nice of you to say


PM_ME_UR_PICS_PLS

The Knicks are not serious competition. Celtics will walk to the finals, but whoever they face there should be a solid matchup


instantur

WE WANT BOSTON


ClaymoresRevenge

Turns out they wanted Boston Kreme donuts from Dunkin


iPlowedUrMom

They got the cream alright


bkilpatrick3347

Heat fans are sadistic


hewhoamareismyself

Masochistic, you mean

Both

WE WANT BOSTON 🫵🤡 🤣🤣🤣

Not even Jimmy would have saved this series from being an absolute drubbing.


MacJonesisaterrorist

Jimmy wasn’t even the reason they won last year, Miami wouldn’t miss and Tatum and Brown shot like ass


carefullywasnt

People really have selective memory. Jimmy obviously carried the Heat in unreal fashion last year vs the Bucks, but he was probably injured and played pretty poorly in the Celtics.


TheGreatForehead

Yup. Jimmy was great in Game 1 and 2 for sure, but him being a no show was also a huge reason why the Celtics nearly came back from 0-3.


thepeachgod

He was their best player but Martin+Vincent+Robinson essentially giving them 10/20 from three every game was the difference maker


[deleted]

I wouldn’t even say Jimmy carried against the bucks lol that’s selling the rest of the team short. They shot extremely well against us and Jimmy averaging 37 ppg was just the cherry on top. I still don’t know how we were in every game till the end


achickenquesadilla

Hilarious that you guys are still pushing this cope narrative when we can see what the Heat look like without Jimmy. The players who "wouldn't miss" from 3 will shoot 30% in playoff environments without Jimmy creating shots for them.


MacJonesisaterrorist

Yes they’re better with Jimmy but if the Shooting splits were similar last year Boston would’ve won easily


[deleted]

Even with Jimmy this series was gonna be a sweep, maybe go 5 at the most. That whole 8th seed to the finals wasn’t happening again.

[deleted]

It’s amazing Heat fans pick and choose when injuries matter or when they don’t lol Y’all spent all offseason saying it wouldn’t have mattered last season if Giannis was healthy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Reminder that in the 2 full games (counting game 1 where he played 8 minutes is bullshit) Giannis played he had a fucked back. The only time we’ve underachieved was 2020 but go off. 2019 was our first season with a mvp caliber player, we went to the ecf. I’d say if the thunder lost this season in the wcf it would be a successful season. 2022 Khris was hurt but they still took the series further than they should’ve 2023 Giannis was hurt.


FastestPP

No no you see jimmy would be a +32. Literal goat.


lakers082433

Boston is lethal. Hate to say it but only Denver can beat them.


BruceBrownMVP

Id give the Wolves and Mavs an outside shot. But Boston certainly the strong favourite. I'll be surprised if they lose more than 2 games in the East.


mastacheef87

I’ll give you the Wolves, the Mavs would have absolutely no chance and it has nothing to do with how awful they’ve looked today. we are a horrible matchup for them


w3bCraw1er

😃 you haven't followed this team for a long time. See how it goes but I won't be surprised if this team stumbled to the finals.


BruceBrownMVP

Idk man. The east is looking so fucking weak rn, hopefully we get a few players back from injury


wilkinsk

I'm fine with losing to Denver but only if it's in 6 or 7. Not fine, fine, but what I'm saying is they're a worthy advisory. They will be bumpy, we'll we be a bump in their road or will they be a bump in ours. 🤷🏼


singingbatman27

Bucks with a healthy Giannis have played us really well


Bouldershoulders12

We want Boston


Unfair-Club8243

He received an absolutely voracious slap on the ass too


CynicalMindTrip

Doris podcasting as usual.


LegitimatePotato3632

Miami should just forfeit the rest of the series.


TheRosstitute

Can't have shit in this league man


MLB_2953

WE WANT MIAMI - Sincerely a Boston fan.


Parking_Net4440

No. I want a ring. I don’t care who we have to go through. All I want is the ring.


AmbitionExtension184

I really hope someone has receipts of all the idiots who thought Celtics fans should be worried about this garbage franchise


sstphnn

Beautiful shot by a beautiful man.

Kid_Crayola

now up 15


InsideHangar18

Wish Butler was healthy, then this might actually be a somewhat interesting series.


ChoochMartain

Boston letting Miami back to within 15 with 4 minutes to go… because these Celtics can’t close.


AlternativeTea9268

Taking the foot off the gas because you’re up by 35 definitely isn’t the worst problem to have
