Wow, what happened to Butler? He looks lost. Lowry can't throw it in the ocean, and they're depending on the role players to hang in there. Hard to see Miami winning right now.

Playing bad, but you can't question the effort.

The Celtics winning this one and then getting blown out in game 7 would be amazing

And just as I said that, they've woken up. I would anticipate a very aggressive Butler in the second half.

In that first half Jimmy and Bam looked like game 7 Harden and Embiid. But lo and behold their role guys have kept them in it.

Would you rather listen to someone scratch a chalkboard for 2.5 hours or listen to Stan Van Gundy?

The Heat about to be on the wrong side of history with Jimmy and Bam stinking up the place at home.

Ha! My wife just said to me "Butler is playing like Harden in game 7".

Harden had two 40 plus games and two game winners in that series and Embiid had a couple of good games. Outside of game 3 butler has got shut down

I can't figure out what Butler is doing. He has been driving and dumping it back out all night.

Miami's season on the line in the 4th.

If Miami loses this they will get demolished in Boston. This will be an unprecedented choke

Struss, Martin, Robinson and Vincent carrying the heat. It’s unbelievable how a system can make the sum of all parts look good. Spo is an especial guy.

Not to make it about the sixers but I dont think we had a game in the celtics series where the role guys carried our two best players like this.
