robinson always been a choker in crunch time though. not surprised he missed.

lol the entire celtics fanbase thinks he's a clown, I haven't read what they're writing about him now but he still made some dumb moves tonight. Dude inherited an eastern conference championship team with high end talent and depth. series probably would already be over if celtics were coached by a guy like spoelstra.


and yet he's going to go down in history as the first coach to ever come back from a 0-3 deficit.

Also on the last play having Marcus Smart curling for three was also a crazy call--he was open for a reason.

The whole Miami run Mazulla never took a single timeout to run a play and change momentum. Just a terrible coach who is lucky to have some great players step up for him.

The refs would have checked Jimmy's feet anyway for a three wouldn't they? Even if Joe didn't review the foul?


I don't know, maybe you are right. I just thought that was a clear foul by Al and why waste the timeout and the worst outcome came from it.

How do you recover from that kind of lost if you’re the heat?

its deflating but not lethally so...celtics got a lucky tip in literally at 0.1 seconds.
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

No thanks. He's a cool guy though, I'm sure he has a lot of friends already he doesn't need me.

Only because he let his massively more talented championship contending team go down 0-3 to an 8th seed in the first place. He’d be fired by tomorrow morning if the ball didn’t rim out in the perfect spot tonight. That was a bad last play call and some questionable coaching in the last few minutes.

To be fair, they should've beaten this Heat team in like 5 games. LOL. They were playing with their food for three games. Mazzula has coached a poor playoffs. He's just lucky he has an incredibly deep team to make up for it.
