[Chiang] Halftime: Celtics 61, Heat 44. Celtics outscoring the Heat 33-12 from three-point range, 13-0 in second-chance points and 17-9 in points off turnovers. Duncan Robinson with a team-high 10 points for the Heat.
This. While playoff Jimmy is legit, that doesn't change the fact that he scores a ton of getting fouled and puts himself in position to get those calls. He just doesn't have enough embarassing flops to get the reputation that Embiid or Harden have.
Tatum needs his 1st quarter to go well or else you can just forget it. He gets 2 jams, JB hits some 3’s and all of a sudden you’re back on track. Mentality is only there when things are going well, shame games 1-3 that wasn’t there
Tatum and Brown’s strongest abilities are getting to the rim. Far too often, they want to settle for three. Those long shots come much more easily when they get in the paint early.
They had 10 point leads in games 1 and 2… it’s more of a late game execution issue than a “showing up” issue from game to game. But it’s true, when things are going well they go real well for this team.
God I'm afraid of winning game 6, then showing up to game 7 playing like complete ass once again, and getting blown out to end the season at home.
I'd rather watch my team get swept than to build up that much hype and hope, just to get fucked
Lmao “if things aren’t going well”…. Hmmm like when they were down 3-0 or tonight down 3-1?? Some of y’all have the most braindead takes on here. Just think about how illogical your comment is. Game 6 against Philly, Tatum 51 pt game were things going well for them in the series then? They’re down in the series 3-1 tonight and every single one of them is playing their fucking asses off but “hur de dur nO dAWg” where’s the dawg in Jimmy tonight?
Oh trust me I know I’m from St Louis lmao and a Cardinals fan. I’ve been a Celtics fan since I was in high school though because we don’t have a team here and the year I started watching basketball was when they got KG and he was my favorite player then and I felt so lucky the team I picked won the finals the first year lmao thought I was in for more before now but oh well it’s been good times mostly. But yeah I know plenty about Boston hate being a Cardinals fan 😂
OP was replying to someone that Celtics fold against adversity. That’s….clearly untrue, since they’ve now won two in a row convincingly, came back from 3-2 against the 6ers, and the Bucks last year. So clearly they have “dawg”. Nice troll attempt tho
I’m not talking about the series I’m talking on a game-level. It’s exactly what Chuck said at halftime, if the Celtics have a good first quarter then they’re usually good in a front runner capacity. If they’re not making threes they stop playing defense and you may as well start looking at the next game.
All you said was “when things aren’t going well the Celtics have zero dawg in them” but since you wanna talk about “on a game level” You mean like when Tatum was missing all his shots all game 6 Vs Philly but still showed up big time in the 4th? Like I said braindead take. They looked defeated in game 3 sure but does one night define a player or team? They don’t have tHe dAwG but they’ve just forced a game 6 which means they have already gone further than 90 percent of all teams to go down 3-0 in NBA history. They don’t have “tHAt DawG” but they’ve now won 4 games this playoffs facing elimination and in the most high pressure moments have absolutely showed up big time. Jimmy was afk most of tonight and scored 14 pts in a game that could have sent him to the finals. And I’m not hating on Jimmy I respect the hell out of him and he’s one of my favorite players in the league but the point is EVERYONE has bad games/days.
The broadcasters keep throwing around the stat that the Celtics are (iirc) 38-2? When they shoot 40% or better from 3. That means they have about a 50% win rate when not shooting 40% or better as their record was 57-25 this year. So around half of the time when “things aren’t going well” in a single game (since that’s all you want to talk about) they figure out a way to win still. If they only won when things were going well for them they would have had a terrible season.
Listen, if Boston somehow manages to do the reverse sweep, it doesn’t matter who wins the finals because the Timberwolves already won by seeing D’Lo get swept and Jimmy get reverse swept.
This series reminds me so much of that video of the guy and a bear unknowingly bumping into each other and both running away in a panic only for the bear to suddenly stop and do a 180 almost like he's thinking: "Wait a minute! I'm a bear."
It’s his secret weapon. Win this series let the nuggets go up 3-0. Have all the nuggets fans on r/nba posting 24/7 about being disrespected like the heat fans are doing rn then Tatum completes another reverse sweep.
I still think you guys will win game 6, but this is why I don’t think you guys can stand up to Denver. All these undrafted guys shooting like Steph Curry are starting to look like undrafted guys. Maybe Gabe Vincent is the lynch pin that secretly holds this team together, not Jimmy lmao
Our bench and backup guys still look great, Jimmy and Bam were ass tonight.
Denver is gonna roll whichever team makes it, they've looked so locked in every game. They don't have shit-the-bed games like the c's and us have had, and that's what makes a championship team.
In your 3 loses, the average point deficit is -6. You guys play solid and make the other team win it.
Also jokic never shits the bed, one of the most composed players I've ever seen.
That doesn't seem to be remotely true. Tatum and Brown can be great offensively and are good defensively. But everyone else? Smart is a good defender and at best an average offensive player. Rob Williams is a good defender and...not good offensively. Derrick White is pretty much the reverse, though maybe a little more balanced.
But the main issue is that Boston has absolutely nobody that can check Jokic in any way whatsoever. I think Boston's gameplan if they make it would have to be to try to shut down everyone else and just let Jokic score.
Agreed, boston offense is just pray they have a good shooting night lmao, not gonna work against a consistent team.
Nuggets definitely gonna smoke this charmin soft celtics squad if by some miracle they make it past the heat
Boston is significantly more talented than Denver and would likely be favored in that final. The current series lines imply so much. Murray is a borderline all star but Celtics have 2 all NBA guys plus 3 all defense guys.
KD/Kyrie got swept in the first round of the east just last year. Kat/Ant never been out of the first and Gobert is cheeks in the playoffs. Lebron is old.
Nah , my hot take is that the east was weak after giannis injury
Apart from the Celtics the rest of the teams aren't much
Phoneix ,.Denver , Lakers , warriors heck even timberwolves had good teama
Jokic is great offensively but a liability on defense. I don't know why teams don't exploit that. Murray is the real reason they are winning. He make the team considerably quicker.
The Heat starters have 6 FG’s and 6 turnovers. Duncan Robinson is keeping us somewhat in the game. I don’t know if our offence just sucks or if it really is that Celtics defense, not getting good looks at the moment. Let’s just thank the lord that Martin’s hyper extension wasn’t bad
Every Celtic fan is screaming: WHY COULDN'T WE PLAY LIKE THIS FROM GAME 1????
Hell yeah, though! Let's keep this going!
Put the pressure back on the Heat and get this to Game 6.
Man, I'm getting some serious deja vu from last year's series lol.
Was a back and forth last year, but every time the Celtics got cocky, the Heat would slap the shit out of us.
This year though, we played like absolute garbage for 3 straight games, especially to close the games. And the Heat made us pay dearly.
Now the Celtics are making a comeback. Let's see how we do in Game 6 on the road.
Probably. And the Celtics absolutely shit the bed to start this series. No doubt about it.
Very disappointing to see how they've underperformed this whole playoff run tbh. So many games where we were huge favorites were pathetically blown ... (G1 Sixers with Embiid out, G5 Hawks with Dejounte out, etc...).
In the JB/Smart/Tatum era, we've been damn good in elimination games for the most part.
Just need to keep the positive energy and intent, and go out there and we games. One by one. We still have a small shot.
Well, the inconsistency is probably what puts them in situations like being down 0-3 to the 8 seed... But they certainly don't look like chokers. If only they could play like this before the elimination games come around
Slander isn't slander if it's true.
Unless we lose in Game 7, it's probably all merited.
Especially if we somehow choke a lead in the 4th in Game 7 too
All the limbs are falling off the zombie heat. Martin extended his knee too. Boston sports fans are going to be so fucking insufferable when they pull this comeback off : (
Slow your role homie. The value of building a 3-0 lead is you get room for error. Miami just has to find it’s rhythm and get back to the basics. The Celtics won’t shoot this way for 3 straight. But Butler and Bam have got to figure something out.
> The Celtics won’t shoot this way for 3 straight.
That's the thing. They don't *have* to shoot this way for 3 straight anymore not to win the next game. They just have to shoot this way during that one game.
The unique circumstance here is that Celtics are way more talented and the only reason they're down is because of lackaidasical play. Now it seems they've woken up, 4 in a row doesn't seem improbable
It’d be hilarious no lie if the Celtics came back down 3-0 only to get swept and stomped by the Nuggets. Like I feel like no matter which team comes out of the east they’re just going to get smoked by the nuggets.
If they come back from 0-3 they definitely do deserve to be there. I’ve been as critical as anyone, but Miami is still in control until we’re in a game 7.
Doesn't Robinson have three fouls? Not ideal. Still, a lot of time left and this Heat team can come back from pretty much any deficit and this Celtics team can blow any lead.
10 turnovers for the Heat. Just ridiculous
Heat starters have 7 field goals made to 6 turnovers.
And it’s mostly strips off of stupid passes, these guys need to wake tf up
Don’t worry ref’s will give Jimmy enough bullshit fts to stay in it!
Least delusional Cs fan
if you don't think he gets a soft whistle idk what to tell you (hasn't been AS bad this series tho)
This. While playoff Jimmy is legit, that doesn't change the fact that he scores a ton of getting fouled and puts himself in position to get those calls. He just doesn't have enough embarassing flops to get the reputation that Embiid or Harden have.
It’s almost like the Celtics woke up and realized they’re the much more talented team
And this why if they lose, I would be pissed becuz they played like asshole in the first 3 games.
they played fine Game 1. just unraveled down the stretch, Game 3 was the inexcusable one
Game 2 they lost the lead as well which was frustrating
Grant shouldn't have poked the beast G2. As soon as he got into it with Jimmy, we were cooked.
If u still believe in that thing, idk what to say. Grant was only one playing with fire and passion in that 4th. The rest of the team was soft.
Tatum needs his 1st quarter to go well or else you can just forget it. He gets 2 jams, JB hits some 3’s and all of a sudden you’re back on track. Mentality is only there when things are going well, shame games 1-3 that wasn’t there

> Tatum needs his 1st quarter to go well or else you can just forget it. This of course ignores Game 6 vs Philly, but by and large yes.
Game 6 of Sixers-Celtics proved your first sentence wrong
And many other games in his career.
The Jays are slackers. Doesn't put the effort required to win until it's a must-win situation
reddit user calling professional athlete slacker
who in their early/mid 20s wasn't guilty of a little procrastination?
God I'm afraid of winning game 6, then showing up to game 7 playing like complete ass once again, and getting blown out to end the season at home. I'd rather watch my team get swept than to build up that much hype and hope, just to get fucked
they are assholes
Just as much as Heat’s been playing ass game 4-5.
And they are still most likely to lose the series. If they do win, they basically just wasted our time lol
Nah we couldn’t go out like that, it was important to come out and not look like total shit heads
What a stupid take. Do you also think games should be declared over at half time?
> What a stupid take. Heat fan, what do you expect
[удалено]
Lol he’s actually a Sixers fan, how pathetic
they are playing with a lot more dawg these past two games
Y’know, I’d always felt that I’d like to see them exhibit more dawg.
Not really though. They’ve been getting hot and doing what they’re supposed to. If things aren’t going well the Celtics have zero dawg in them
Lmao “if things aren’t going well”…. Hmmm like when they were down 3-0 or tonight down 3-1?? Some of y’all have the most braindead takes on here. Just think about how illogical your comment is. Game 6 against Philly, Tatum 51 pt game were things going well for them in the series then? They’re down in the series 3-1 tonight and every single one of them is playing their fucking asses off but “hur de dur nO dAWg” where’s the dawg in Jimmy tonight?
People hate Boston. In all sports. They will spin and spin and spin to not give a Boston team credit.
Oh trust me I know I’m from St Louis lmao and a Cardinals fan. I’ve been a Celtics fan since I was in high school though because we don’t have a team here and the year I started watching basketball was when they got KG and he was my favorite player then and I felt so lucky the team I picked won the finals the first year lmao thought I was in for more before now but oh well it’s been good times mostly. But yeah I know plenty about Boston hate being a Cardinals fan 😂
Credit for what? Being down 3-2 to an 8 seed?
OP was replying to someone that Celtics fold against adversity. That’s….clearly untrue, since they’ve now won two in a row convincingly, came back from 3-2 against the 6ers, and the Bucks last year. So clearly they have “dawg”. Nice troll attempt tho
I’m not talking about the series I’m talking on a game-level. It’s exactly what Chuck said at halftime, if the Celtics have a good first quarter then they’re usually good in a front runner capacity.

Timberwolves fans eating good lol
This series reminds me so much of that video of the guy and a bear unknowingly bumping into each other and both running away in a panic only for the bear to suddenly stop and do a 180 almost like he's thinking: "Wait a minute! I'm a bear."
[Lol found it](https://youtu.be/R1Sy9RatBs0)
Duncan can’t win with these cats
> ~~Duncan~~ Caleb can’t win with these cats FTFY.
Elimination game tatum has his fingerprints all over this game
It’s his secret weapon. Win this series let the nuggets go up 3-0. Have all the nuggets fans on r/nba posting 24/7 about being disrespected like the heat fans are doing rn then Tatum completes another reverse sweep.
so what the bubble nuggets did but even better. ppl dont bring it up enough they pulled off TWO 1-3 comebacks. that seems just as unlikely as 0-3 tbh
Least delusional comment on reddit
Jayson looked pissed tonight. That early tech was like an espresso, he looked refreshed and ready to rock after that. 11 assists.
Dude is sick of Kyle Lowry giving little pushes to midair players
This is the first time I feel like I’ve seen Jimmy nervous as hell
He just seems a bit passive. But having so few quality ball handlers with Vincent out doesn’t help either. Miami’s depth is already thin.
Heat really gonna choke this?
I'm not there yet. But man game 6 is gonna be practically their game 7. Their offense has really struggled the past few quarters as well
Whoever wins game 6 is winning the series id bet
If Miami wins game 6 they win the series.
Thanks Magic.
The Magic Johnson special
Well clearly. My intent was to say that if Boston wins six then they are gonna win 7 too.
GUAR-UHN-TEEED
Celtics in 8
I’d do you one better, I bet whoever wins the next two games wins the series
Heat take the series 5-2
Great bet
We've turned back into pumpkins sadly
I still think you guys will win game 6, but this is why I don’t think you guys can stand up to Denver. All these undrafted guys shooting like Steph Curry are starting to look like undrafted guys. Maybe Gabe Vincent is the lynch pin that secretly holds this team together, not Jimmy lmao
Our bench and backup guys still look great, Jimmy and Bam were ass tonight. Denver is gonna roll whichever team makes it, they've looked so locked in every game. They don't have shit-the-bed games like the c's and us have had, and that's what makes a championship team.
We have shit the bed quarters but I dont think we were ever down more than 15 against the lakers.
In your 3 loses, the average point deficit is -6. You guys play solid and make the other team win it. Also jokic never shits the bed, one of the most composed players I've ever seen.
I mean didnt he have a really bad start to game 3 against LA? Ive seen our bench actually pull us back into games sometimes which is wild.
West was weak this year. Don’t totally trust Denver. Point differential wasn’t very good. Lakers not a serious team.
You’ll win game 6 and then lose the finals in 5. Least interesting outcome
Butler losing to the Celtics again in 7 would be too tragic.
I literally can’t see it happening
Amazing is what you mean
Celtics finally realize they are the top team in the NBA on paper. They played with their meat way too much.
> played with their meat way too much Ayo ??
That is absolutely Denver, they are significantly more well rounded on offense
Yeah, but just about every player on Boston is equally as talented on defense as they are on offense. Slight hyperbole but still...
That doesn't seem to be remotely true. Tatum and Brown can be great offensively and are good defensively. But everyone else? Smart is a good defender and at best an average offensive player. Rob Williams is a good defender and...not good offensively. Derrick White is pretty much the reverse, though maybe a little more balanced. But the main issue is that Boston has absolutely nobody that can check Jokic in any way whatsoever. I think Boston's gameplan if they make it would have to be to try to shut down everyone else and just let Jokic score.
We've got Batman to shut down the Joker
Fair point! ...Nuggets in 2.
Did you just say derrick white, the second team NBA defender, is not good defensively?
he also said rob williams is not good offensively lmao
Foolishness I tell ya
You don’t know ball sadly lol
White is reverse of who? He was 2nd team all defense this year.
Agreed, boston offense is just pray they have a good shooting night lmao, not gonna work against a consistent team. Nuggets definitely gonna smoke this charmin soft celtics squad if by some miracle they make it past the heat
Boston is significantly more talented than Denver and would likely be favored in that final. The current series lines imply so much. Murray is a borderline all star but Celtics have 2 all NBA guys plus 3 all defense guys.
I think Denver getting really overrated because of how weak the west was this year.
They just swept a team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. I don’t think they’re overrated at all.
Why stop there? They beat a team with Lebron/AD, KD/Booker, KAT/Gobert/Ant. I still think the West is way stronger than the East.
KD/Kyrie got swept in the first round of the east just last year. Kat/Ant never been out of the first and Gobert is cheeks in the playoffs. Lebron is old.
Because one of them is a proven championship duo, and the others are not.
Nah , my hot take is that the east was weak after giannis injury Apart from the Celtics the rest of the teams aren't much Phoneix ,.Denver , Lakers , warriors heck even timberwolves had good teama
Jokic is great offensively but a liability on defense. I don't know why teams don't exploit that. Murray is the real reason they are winning. He make the team considerably quicker.
They're going to spam the pick and roll on Jokic any day now. LeBron wasn't smart enough to think of it but certainly Joe Mazz will
I’m sure he wishes his foot wasn’t fucked up. Not that it would have mattered in the end
At first i thought you were serious, then few words later I thought you were joking and in the end you actually are serious
They feel really bad for Doc Rivers.
Y'all got swept lmao. You can't say shit
That's embarrassing. Can't imagine what losing to the team that got swept would be like either
When you put it like that…especially being 22 Champs
pistons fan lol (im also a pistons fan)
Why not? So nobody who isnt a nuggets heat or celtics fan can comment on the rest of the playoffs?
Can't talk about choking when their team got swept. Even yiu guys took one off the Nuggets
Y’all lost to them who are you to say this lmao.
We didn't get swept
You understand you losing to a team that gets swept makes you look worse right ?
He still hasn't learned commutatives and transitives as a 4-year old, give him some slack.
Ain't no shame in getting sweep by the number 1 seed.
But there is shame in getting reverse swept by the 2 seed?
After being up 3-0, Yes.
Obviously because the odds are so in favor of the team up 3-0 that it has never happened in nba history
You guys are lucky you didn’t get swept by us
No team is garbage enough to get swept by the Lakers lol
The Heat starters have 6 FG’s and 6 turnovers. Duncan Robinson is keeping us somewhat in the game. I don’t know if our offence just sucks or if it really is that Celtics defense, not getting good looks at the moment. Let’s just thank the lord that Martin’s hyper extension wasn’t bad
Bam looks like he's never been in a playoff game before, and Lowry looks like he's on the Celtics payroll
Heat need to get back to the basics. Ball movement and good shot selection. And win the hustle stats. They’re getting crushed there tonight
Boston working on another 0-3 comeback. Why not us
Every Celtic fan is screaming: WHY COULDN'T WE PLAY LIKE THIS FROM GAME 1???? Hell yeah, though! Let's keep this going! Put the pressure back on the Heat and get this to Game 6.
And Heat fans are saying: HOW COULD WE TAKE OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS THESE LAST TWO GAMES?!
Man, I'm getting some serious deja vu from last year's series lol. Was a back and forth last year, but every time the Celtics got cocky, the Heat would slap the shit out of us. This year though, we played like absolute garbage for 3 straight games, especially to close the games. And the Heat made us pay dearly. Now the Celtics are making a comeback. Let's see how we do in Game 6 on the road.
If the Celtics lose they would still get unholy slander. They basically fucked around and found out.
Probably. And the Celtics absolutely shit the bed to start this series. No doubt about it. Very disappointing to see how they've underperformed this whole playoff run tbh. So many games where we were huge favorites were pathetically blown ... (G1 Sixers with Embiid out, G5 Hawks with Dejounte out, etc...). In the JB/Smart/Tatum era, we've been damn good in elimination games for the most part. Just need to keep the positive energy and intent, and go out there and we games. One by one. We still have a small shot.
It’s crazy how well they play in elimination games yet still get labeled inconsistent chokers.
Well, the inconsistency is probably what puts them in situations like being down 0-3 to the 8 seed... But they certainly don't look like chokers. If only they could play like this before the elimination games come around
Slander isn't slander if it's true. Unless we lose in Game 7, it's probably all merited. Especially if we somehow choke a lead in the 4th in Game 7 too
Its getting SPOOKY
I have no faith but neat!
Celtics players finally realized basically all of them can shoot and defend at high levels
Miami could be down 25 with how bad they've played
All the limbs are falling off the zombie heat. Martin extended his knee too. Boston sports fans are going to be so fucking insufferable when they pull this comeback off : (
It’s so fucking funny seeing Celtics fans believing this Heat team more than Heat fans all playoffs long lmao…
Slow your role homie. The value of building a 3-0 lead is you get room for error. Miami just has to find it’s rhythm and get back to the basics. The Celtics won’t shoot this way for 3 straight. But Butler and Bam have got to figure something out.
Literally if Miami has a hot shooting night or the Celtics go cold, that's series. I don't even fully trust us to finish this game as a win lol
The Heat shot 40% from 3 and 50% overall tonight and it didn’t matter.
I mean we were hotter and they had lots of turnovers. I am happy we won for sure. But we still have to win 2 vs their 1. It's a tough job.
I live in Boston, I have to start preparing for the worst now
I do too. Baby steps. Lots of opportunities for improvement. I was at game 2.
So was I! Incredible to watch that live
!! Yeah it was awesome. That crowd was crazy hostile.
> The Celtics won’t shoot this way for 3 straight. That's the thing. They don't *have* to shoot this way for 3 straight anymore not to win the next game. They just have to shoot this way during that one game.
Celtics win tonight and I’m taking them in 7
Eh the Raptors won 2 after being down 3-0 last year and lost game 6 it’s still super hard to win 4 in a row
True but this Celtics team is way better than that Raptors team and Toronto weren't the favourites going into that series either.
Yeah but this Heat team is better than the Sixers team the Raptors played as well. Just gotta treat one game at a time
This is an underachieving Celtics team that has just been shown a little bit of the light at the end of the tunnel. I’d be worried if I were the Heat
The unique circumstance here is that Celtics are way more talented and the only reason they're down is because of lackaidasical play. Now it seems they've woken up, 4 in a row doesn't seem improbable
Sixers chokes when up. Celtics might have choked the first few games and woke up.
Honestly heat got one more real chance to win in game 6. No way they win a game 7 in Boston
They absolutely have a chance to win game 7, no team that started off 0-3 and forced 7 has won game 7
What else are you going to take them in? 9?
Heat still in it. This game should be 30 point lead the way we are playing.
Nah I think they’ve broke down celtics just the more talented team overall
Celtics were the more talented team overall for the 3 games they lost too. It’s almost like every game is different.
r/nba in shambles
Bruh they actually might do it OMG
I feel like it’s the perfect recipe for it to happen, a much better team down 0-3 and miami with a key injury
A key injury?! You mean THREE key injuries
Well an injury since going up 3-0, they won those without herro and oladipo
These overreactions are incredible
It’d be hilarious no lie if the Celtics came back down 3-0 only to get swept and stomped by the Nuggets. Like I feel like no matter which team comes out of the east they’re just going to get smoked by the nuggets.
It wouldnt be that crazy. Miami is by far a worse team lol
IM NOT DOING OK
If Heat blow this heat culture is dead
Playoff Duncan
Ya’all mocked ESPNs model
If the celtics make hte finals I'm going to be sick. They don't deserve it after how they've played this playoffs.
If they come back from 0-3 they definitely do deserve to be there. I’ve been as critical as anyone, but Miami is still in control until we’re in a game 7.
I am all in on the Nuggets if that happens. Just to quiet down how annoying Celtics fans will be if they come back against the Heat.
I mean.. it would be the first time ever so it's somewhat warranted
Doesn't mean it wouldn't be annoying lmao
Doesn't Robinson have three fouls? Not ideal. Still, a lot of time left and this Heat team can come back from pretty much any deficit and this Celtics team can blow any lead.
This gonna be the series where a 3-0 lead is come back on isn’t it?
Where tf is Jimmy Buckets?
Theres the regular season team we all know.
Bam looks like the pf version of ben simmons in the playoffs like 75% of the time
Honestly all of this is going to make a Celtics loss look even worse. Like they are so clearly the better team
Yeah a 4-2 loss is going to be a lot worse than a sweep.
Shit is starting to look bleak for the Heat
They’re up 3-1
Come alive Miami
Heat are cooked
Chuck called it
Ya’all hated on ESPNs model
As a Nuggets fan I'm rooting for as many of these as the Celtics have!
Heat are frauds, Bucks are worse than we thought
least reactionary redditor
Brown really surprising me. He’s going hard this game.
Great for the Celtics, guess they can lose in 6 instead of 5 to an injured 8 seed despite being fully healthy
It'd be one more win than yall managed, lol. Kind of hard to believe you thought this post was a good idea.
