Not really. The heat would have had to score 13-0 to win.


I mean they went on an 11-0 run and Jimmy had the ball in transition with only Horford in front of him...........

even if JVG tested negative, they honestly should've replaced him anyway. his voice is part of his job and it was very distracting

it saddens me that without at least a finals berth jimmy run is gonna be forgotten fairly quickly

another finals run would have been huge on his resume

he has looked like draymond with a 3 point shot

btw what do you expect of a boston vs warriors series?


Coming into this game:

20 shots contested per game, opponents shooting 10.6% below averages
-6.6% on three pointers
-13.3% on shots 6ft and under.

Draymond is having a similar defensive playoffs.

What are you talking about???

They were down 2 and missed a 3 with 10 seconds left.

The Celtics avoided an all-time choke. They were terrible to close that game.

He sounded like death and I absolutely hated listening to him on the call. Was giving me goosebumps. He should have been home resting.

Celtics vs Warriors should be a good series.

I don't really see the Warriors winning easily like some do.

Jayson had one of the worst performances ever in game 3 but cant be too mad at him winning Ec Mvp

it couldve easily gone to Jaylen too tho they were both equally important

I think this Finals is going the distance. Boston has trouble closing out games. This game 7 and the game 5 against the Bucks should have been easy Ws for them but they almost lost both, this is where the Warriors will make them pay.

I predict GSW in 7 with Curry getting his first FMVP.

Boston being favored by 3 on the road in game 7 really tells me something. They are built to take on the Warriors though I’m not sure if they’ve expended too much energy.

Steph hasn’t had a great run so far, but I’m expecting him to erupt in at least one of these first two games. If Boston can take one, I think they can win the series.

not the best final shot by jimmy but i'm willing to live and die by jimmy butler if i'm the heat. i'm not gonna criticize him that much for it personally (but i understand why others may)
