Game 6: Celtics @ Heat 8:30pm, 5/27/23

Seeing Jimmy in high spirit in the podium kinda gives me hope.

Did it look anything like this? His play after this smug attitude doesn't make me believe he's going to be good for game 7.

Oh well. Unto game 7. We're gonna need a Lebron game 6 like performance out of Butler.
If Herro can shoot, I want him on the bench.
No team has come back from 3-0, so the odds are in our favour. But Butler has to be great, I don't really trust Bam to show up on offense, so I'm just counting on Butler

He's been in high spirits and optimistic after every loss. means nothing.

I really don't know. Did you notice him picking up his dribble early because I did, he got stuck far away from the basket a few times, I saw him attack the paint and then... nothing. This looks like how he played in the 2021 playoffs when the Heat got swept, the easy shots he's missing now are exactly the same shots he was missing in 2021's playoffs and nobody mentioned him injured for that series.

So if he's not injured.... maybe he's just a front runner that needs specific situations to be able to play well? Like, a real superstar cannot be stopped, no matter who they play, they will get their 30 and can iso score.

Maybe Jimmy is exposed as a streaky player without the tools to dominate like that.

Like I said earlier, Dwyane Wade has spoiled df out of me. I foolishly held this expectation on Jimmy and he seemed like he was becoming that...then the last few games happened. Going into Boston game 7? Blowout.

Yeah, Wade did spoil us. 3rd GOAT SG .... could just give the ball to Wade and iso and he would close for us. Even when we lost games, it wasn't cause Wade sucked or anything.

Jimmy is disappointing, but we saw a flash of this in the 2021 playoffs remember? We all were puzzled at why he sucked and assumed injuries?

Game reminds me of the 2020-21 regular season game against the Celtics at home, which we lost 107-105 at the buzzer from a Payton Pritchard putback. Ironically, we were down 10 points (105-95) in that game as well with less than 90 seconds left. Made a furious run and tied it up, but then lost at the buzzer to a putback.

Same song and dance from the last 3 games, Im done taking the bait

[yeahi]

Jimmy is a bum. Is he gonna guarantee another win? I hope the media skewers him. A completely deserved.

Lmao!!!

WTF???

I called this out immediately after the game. I was like why did it go from 2.1. FML. It just is what it is to be a Heat fan at this point.

Not only that but the clock didnt start immediately after Smart touched the ball.. started about .3 seconds after. Unfortunately there is human error involved in these games but on a final play, they should be reviewing the clock from start to finish to see if the teams had any extra time advantage..

Doom scrolling. Absolutely heartbroken man. This hurts.

Well it is what it is if it doesnt happen it wasnt meant to be. Personally will be watching game 7 you never know what you will get with this inconsistent team.

ofc, Jimmy just saying the right things as a leader

but means nothing on the court.

This ian't the first sick feeling i've had watching refs rig a game. over 15yrs of this sh*t. You never get used to it.

Officiating was horrendous. They did the best they cld to get this to a game 7. Ratings will be HUGE....thus Revenue for NBA will be HUGE. Unfortunately they f*cked us up in the process which is extremely agitating.

The question now is are they satisfied w/ the gm7 profits or do they also want Boston too to advance to the NBA Finals. If they do and the calls continue to be the same then we're all going to feel very sick by the end of gm7.

They absolutely want Boston, in particular Tatum, in the Finals, 3bb. Did you forget it's Bill Russell memorial season?

I wasn't aware. I'm expecting Foster to be assigned gm7.

Could be worse. Others could very well pull a Paul George and say "We're still in the drivers seat".

Yeah same here.... hope they win but not realistic rn!

[KingDavid]

I can't expect our roleplayers to play as good as they did tonight in Boston. I don't see it. This kind of loss is hard to overcome for everyone but the best in the game. Talking about all the pressure is on Boston to win game 7 in their house. That's not much pressure. We fkd around and now we find out next game. Oh well.

Being in high spirits after playing like he did is exactly what the problem here. This idiot talking about wine like he did anything? Needs to talk about how he just pulled the biggest choke job in heat history.

Don’t ever disrespect Wade’s house again like that. It ain’t yours.

[LookToShoot]

This is literally what separates pros from amateurs. Professionals are expected to perform and execute to the tightest of margins. This was a horrific gaff in the end by Spo and Strus.

Exactly. It’s the playoffs, do or die for the Celtics. I expected a close game down to the wire. There aren’t going to be any blowouts. This isn’t a good look for Spo, particularly.

Its not a good look for Spo, especially the decisions on that last play. But what can he really do when his stars look like that for 45 minutes of the game?? They were missing everything and shying away from the ball. What technically could Spo have done differently? I'm genuinely wondering what others think

The Heat should’ve won this game. Celtics had twice as many turnovers and shot 20% from three. Even though the rebounding was even, the offensive rebounding was key for the Celtics to make up for their poor shooting.

Bam gets pushed around a lot for a guy his size. They should insert Kevin Love back in the lineup. They were out rebounding Boston in the first three games.

It never gets old when some fans start deciding who the real fans are and who is a fake fan.

[carnageta]

**** IT man. We wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for Jimbo. I'm riding with him to the end.

If he says we're winning the next one, I believe him. It's happening. He'll take us there. I know it.

If not, I'm going down with him. The rest of ya'll can jump on the lifeboats.

[HeatFanDan]

Man **** off, Heat are on the verge of being the very first team to blow a 3-0 lead, fans have every right to be disheveled atm.

Nah, you f**k off, newbie fan. I've seen every Heat playoff game since 1992 and have had my heart broken by this team a million times. In a perfect world, we'd go 98-0 and win the chip every year, but pro sports doesn't work like that. I'm not a "blame game" type of fan. I take losses like a man.

you seriously need to log out and take a walk, taking your anger out on other fans

No anger here. I'm proud of my guys, and sick of reading Jimmy and Bam slander over here. We got beat on a lucky bounce, that in all likelihood wouldn't have even counted if the clock was at 2.1 seconds where it should've been.

No more pressure, no one expects them to win. They dont care about being 1 out like 200 to lose 4 game in a row. Watch our dysfunctional bipolar team destroy the Celtics in game 7. We lost the first play-in game to the Hawks, they basically emasculated us off the court and we made it to the eastern finals. Watch us pull off a crazy win. I dont see Bam and Butler having a repeat game like this.
