What's funny is this dates back to the PP/KG days (see how Haslem talks about the Cs) and has somehow carried over to the Bam/Butler era. From their end, because Riley/Spo/Haslem are still there. We don't even have anyone from the PP/KG era (not even Danny Ainge) so it's less personal for our stars/main guys imo.

Grant getting in Butler’s face in the ECF just for the rest of the team to shy away was such a bad look in my eyes.

Because the rest of the team knew it was a bad idea to poke the bear.

Jimmy went off after that incident.

That’s a crazy defeatist attitude then. No wonder we got bounced.

Defeatist attitude?

How many points did Jimmy score after that incident?

That allowed the Heat to take a 2-0 lead in the ECF.

Game thread poppin tonight!!

Getting in someone's face to prove you're tough and ending up losing the game in the end is just stupid!

It's about playing smart.

There is a right time for everything.

What Grant did was not right at that time.

If it was the Celtics leading by 4 points with 10 seconds remaining in the game then that would've been great.
But it was a Game 2 where the Celtics were down 0-1 and a lot of time remaining.

Are you kidding me

[London2Boston]

Rozier a starter.

[exculpatory]

Memories of Game 7 ECF last year & the excellence of #7. Barf. Historic awfulness.

[Green89]

The Heat putting the word Culture on their jerseys and court is ridiculously silly.
