I'm sayin. I'm getting 04 Pistons Lakers vibes.

I heard that on BS podcast, but here’s the big differences

1) This LAL team is super hungry. That 04 team wasn’t, had huge internal problems, Kobe played awful, and Malone got hurt (wouldn’t have mattered)

2) That Detroit defense is historic, this heat team is not even as good as the Lakers on defense.

Miami has no superstar like Detroit, but a couple of stars and some really good guys (dragic playing like a star and Duncan can play similar to an offensive star on some nights)

finally Brown turning it on but too late. I swear if it wasnt for Marcus Smart Heat would be blowing them out, he is clearly their most important part of the formula.

No surprises you’re here after that game. Maybe you should focus on your own team. I savoured every second of beating you that this series doesn’t matter


Maybe you should've focused on your team instead of backing up the Brinks truck of salt on my posts every single time. You won't even get an Atlantic Division banner for your trouble this season.

FYI I'll be here for Games 3, 4 and 5 (if you're lucky) too. And I will thoroughly relish it.

I think Celtics need more Brown and less Tatum.

Butler has shown these last two playoffs that he's a winning player. What he did in the 4th tonight was outstanding.

If that happens someone will need to check on Adam Silver to make sure he's okay.

Boston was shooting 68% in the first half, we were 38%.

Down by like 14-17?

Heat are known to slow you down and play their game in the 2nd half

Pretty much what the Rockets could have been if they had not traded away Capela

I think it is because the refs kept the Celtics from bleeding out in both games, but still lost.

I had Heat in 7

Congrats to the heat, they have been BY FAR the better team and playing harder/ more talented....

What a disgrace and embarrassment by my Celtics. No clutch, no heart, no head. They have been simply outplayed. Throwing the ball away, missed free throws, the list goes on. Is the moment to big??? Time to sac up, this isn’t Orlando it’s Boston and there are no emotional wins. YOU LOST. Get better, or get booed back home. Gross effort, my 3 year old daughter sprinting back and fourth faster than these fools. Tatum I could give a **** about your “acedence “ you’ll be another Paul George if you do t dig deep.

Grab your bits and make a play. Miami punkin your ass and laughing.

It’s not for everyone... get mad and play rugged and go fishin.

Congrats heat.

No doubt about it. I'd love that clash of styles.

Jimmy is just a winner. You can’t name 10 better players than Jimmy Butler. Ive honestly always though that since the Raptors vs Sixers series last season. Dude is just a gamer.

There’s something about a player like Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry that make me enjoy the game of basketball. All star caliber players who hustle for loose balls, who have a star impact on offence and defense, while being the ultimate leaders make basketball so beautiful.

Now imagine a 1-2 punch of Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry! That team would wreak havoc defensively and kill you offensively!


If Heat add Jrue somehow :o

No way Cs come back. I don't remember the last time a team came back from being down 2 games.
