game 7 is a 50:50 proposition imo. these games tend to be mucky and grind out which favors miami but celts have the better team. it will be a crunch time victory, whoever wins.


To be a box out away from going to the nba finals is crushing. Celtics have all the momentum in game 7 to complete this comeback

this win resets expectations. miami was always the underdog in this series...somewhere that got forgotten. if heat comes in with that mentality, they have a good a chance as any. now pressure is on celtics to close because they're now seen as the better team playing at home.


It’s definitely a mentality shift but man to be an inch away of getting to the finals is crushing.
Jimmy and bam will have to do the carrying but I just can’t see the Celtics blowing this.

If Miami loses? You already guaranteed a win. Don't go jimmy butler on us now.


I guess there's no chance of a preemptive ban, before the game? Duff? :D

That was an epic 4th quarter, damn. Didn’t think that put back counted. Now it’s one of the best playoff buzzer beaters ever.

I don't even know why Raps fans hate them so much outside of their annoying media presence. Is it because of the hockey or mlb beef ? I don't watch either of those sports so I don't really know.

I think it started for me back in 2013 when Leafs lost to the Bruins in a Double OT which the Leafs should of won in regulation up 4-1 with 2min left. I know it doesn't make sense and I should be pissed at our own team but since that day and to now I hate Boston Sports Teams.

Too many times you make fun of OG. That's a deal breaker for me.

But go Heat in game 7

Tried to play hero defence and failed horribly.


He didn't realize 3 seconds was actually enough time for the offensive rebound to be relevant. If there was 2.5 seconds left it would have been a decent play.

The in and out giving it directly to White is incredibly fortunate. Probably the luckiest champions ever if they go all the way.

Dayum, I wonder which is the more heartbreaking for Butler, this putback by DW preventing them from reaching the finals or that four bounces? >.<

White hit a huge shot for them a few minutes earlier, too. I owe him an apology for calling him a coward.

That went from a perfect Celtic demise with Horford's idiotic foul and Smart throwing up a brick to a historic NBA moment. They are a team of destiny now and will steamroll the Nuggets. We'll be hearing about this for decades. Jimmy Butler will be interviewed on a documentary about famous losers and they'll have him talk about Kawhi's shot and White's tip-in.

White went hard to the glass like his life depended on it. He deserved that putback.


I can see white grabbing that rebound over Fred if it were celtics vs raptors.

It's one of the best for me as well. Lots of records being broken in these playoffs. Incredible runs from bottom seeded teams like the Lakers and Heat. Jokic averaging a triple double on excellent efficiency, playoff Jimmy doing what he did in the first two rounds. Now the Celtics storming back to tie a series after being down 3-0.

The play was for Tatum but he got denied. Smart popped out because he had to, shot because he had to. The shot rolled in and out.

I'm the same as you, only watch NBA, so I really do think it's spillover from other sports

Cause from my POV the Heat took our old franchise player and proceeded to just spank us for years on end, it's not even close which franchise I despise more.

Obviously sports don’t work this way but if the 76ers and Heat can beat the Celtics 3x each, you gotta think the Nuggets can beat them 4x. The Nuggets are head and shoulders above the Heat.

Great point. White gets all the credit but if not for Smart's quick thinking and reacting, White never gets that opportunity for the putback to begin with. It almost went in too like you said too.
