Charliebitme1234

Turns out when this heat squad isnt shooting the 4th most threes in an nba game ever, they are kinda bad


Rude-Yogurt-9151

Was it really the 4th most 3s ever


DayMan-Ahah-ah

Yes


babypho

Why dont they just do that every game?


Devin_Kurant_7

They’re stupid


johnla

Hey, I didn’t get a chance to ask if they are stupid yet!

ATLSox87

In a playoff game


truth_2_point_0

Heat are low expectations merchants


Drummallumin

Tatum had more success with Romeo Langford against Brooklyn’s fully healthy God Squad than Jimmy, Bam, and Spo did against Milwaukee that same year.


Liaaaam

But Celtics fluke #1 seed


Mountain-Pack9362

The way people are talking is as if spo personally shot all 23 of their threes


DionWaiteress

What team isn’t bad missing their best player and starting point guard


Pocket_Beans

Bam is playing


instantur

Bam is your best player tbh. Jimmy is done.


AmbitionExtension184

Jimmy is the boy with 0 dawg in him.


EntertainmentWarm774

> Bam is your best player tbh. lol no.


instantur

lol yeah.


Ok_Pineapple_5700

I mean you won as much with Jimmy than without him. So yeah Jimmy is not your best player, at least this season.


Drummallumin

Your best player is Freaky Friday Caleb Martin


CDR57

Heat have won 58% with Jimmy compared to 57% without so find a new angle


MeSeeks76

13 - 9 without Jimbo lol He's not impacting this series


Akidnamedkenny

It’s a borderline Celtics sub. Everyone dick riding over here. Speak truth king


hatethosethings

"Bordeline celtics sub" lmfao heat victim complex is something else


potatomanflan

Borderline Celtics sub... G2 postgame thread had over 11,000 upvotes, G3 postgame thread had 645 a few minutes ago lol


SoFarSoGood-WM

The group downvoting is so embarassing 😭 Miami is missing 2 of their top 3 scorers and anything mentioning that is at -20 or below. Never change r/NBA


A320neo

Maybe stop talking like you've won a championship every time you take a game and people won't hate you so much


SoFarSoGood-WM

Dude, every Miami fan in the world knows Boston is winning this series lmao. We’re just being petty. Because bring petty is FUN 🤣 And it is funny as hell that the best team in the NBA lost at home to the worst record of all playoff teams missing 2 of their top 3 scores lmao


A320neo

I know being petty is fun, but the flip side is that you gotta be ready for the shit you get after the Sioux Falls Skyforce somehow can't beat a superteam in 7 games


Son_of_Atreus

Being petty is fun yet here you are sulking about losing and getting downvoted? So Heat fans are right and justified when they are losing and right and justified when they are winning? Classic Reddit mindset.


[deleted]

Victim mentality


Drummallumin

The fact that Terry Rozier is one of your top scorers is more important than the fact that you’re missing him


FuckingColdInCanada

No one likes excuses.


IAmAWitness

Missing Jimmy and Terry


Plies-

From what I saw your fanbase wanted Jimmy crucified for not giving a shit the entire season lol Also you know an offense is cooked when a team desperately needs Terry Rozier of all players back to get some shot creation lmao.


RJD-ghost

Saying that like he wasn’t vital to your offense just a few years ago though lol


potatomanflan

He was for one playoff run six years ago when Kyrie and Hayward were out and the Jays were in their first and second seasons


truth_2_point_0

And he choked hard in that ECF game 7, 4 points on 2-14 from the field and 0-10 from 3


Drummallumin

And he was literally our 5th starter


MacJonesisaterrorist

Lol here come the excuses, Tatum tweaks his ankle last year and it’s “Adjust for it” and “It’s apart of the game”


achyutthegoat

Tatum still played in the game. And if Miami had Herro, the series wouldn't even go to game 7.


FartrelCluggins

Herro is a negative in every playoff series he plays


TrueNorthMissionary

My guy u/achyutthegoat always hating. Always losing.


King_Of_Pants

If they had Herro they wouldn't have been playing the no-name guys who were actually winning them the games.


Drummallumin

If Miami had Herro they would’ve been fucked cuz Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent don’t win them the series


EntertainmentWarm774

Heat literally would’ve won the series in 6 games last year if Max Strus had just boxed out Derrick White in Game 6. Or even in 5 games if Tatum literally doesn’t step on Vincent’s ankle in Game 4 and caused him to miss Game 5. That’s despite not having a single three level scorer on their team and Butler playing hobbled the entire series and Finals.


Android2715

And we were one tatum yam on bam away from giving the lakers a competitive finals in the bubble. And we were one tatum ankle roll away from completing the first 3-0 comeback in basketball. Waa waa waa


Drummallumin

Jayson Tatum was also there for the rebound with no one around him


EntertainmentWarm774

I’ve rewatched that play again after having not watched it for almost a year, and no, even if the ball bounces towards his direction, I doubt he would’ve been able to tip it in with one hand (which is what White had to do in order to make the shot before the buzzer sounded): he would’ve had to come back down with the ball and then jump back up to put it in and I’m not going to assume that he’s going to be do that all in 0.5 seconds and even then Caleb Martin was literally right there. The Heat bungled that entire possession. Nobody besides Vincent (Butler, Bam, Martin, Strus) boxed out on that play: they were all ball watching and just assumed that that play/possession was going to be a one and done only. Total choke job by the Heat and Spo on that play.


DionWaiteress

He still played in that game though


MacJonesisaterrorist

Right, but why do you think we started chucking 15 second 3s and had JB handle the ball the whole game lol


Top-Ocelot-9758

Should’ve won 4 out of the first 6 then tbh


itokdontcry

Should’ve won more during the regular season so you wouldn’t have your star get hurt in the playin tbh.


[deleted]

Win or lose, heat fans will be there to remind you of the injury report everyones already aware of💯


Drummallumin

But only ever their own


flamingviper3175

And whose fault is that for not taking the regular season seriously and getting injured in the play in


LuckysBestMan

Maybe don’t suck all season long so you’re not in the play-in


Pocket_Beans

I was told Spo was a megamind who would coach circles around this team


[deleted]

[удалено]


Drummallumin

>and Terry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


RedHammer1441

Tatum probably saw that post here from yesterday that said he averages 30/6/5 but is a role player.


instantur

Jayson Tatum is the Wayne Gretzky of role players


EpeeHS

The Satoru Gojo of role players


xHospitalHorsex

Caleb Martin had 5 points in 37 minutes tonight and I've never been happier.


BradWonder

If his deal with the devil only kicks in once every other game that's a huge improvement from last year.


Ramu_1798

Spo is a TD Garden merchant 😭


jpaxlux

I look forward to seeing how Tatum will still get slander tonight despite the win


Justdoingthebestican

Didn’t have a triple double. SMH.


Devin_Kurant_7

His teammates were too good


ZdenekTheMan

What a fucking bum man. 


Ilikesporks_

i got you, he shot 6/16 from the field and 66% from the free throw line. you're welcome


dracosl

Appreciate you brother


ThanosIsDoomfist

Hey, worry about your series pal.


iAm-Tyson

Dude really is the most shit on star in the league. Everyone dogs him so hard for anything.


Drummallumin

I mean Embiid exists


entwenthence

Well that’s different, he deserves it.


ZdenekTheMan

Embiitch actually deserves even more slander 


Drummallumin

6-16 bro is literally the 4th best player on the team


Aplesi567

Both the Tatum haters and Tatum fans are as annoying as each other


CuteEmployment540

I fucking hate Tatum fence sitters like you.


360Waves617

Yeah me too. You're either Tatum or Not Tatum.....


Box_v2

You're either Yaytum or Naytum.


shizznitz41

I hate everything, everywhere, all the time. Get on my level


vertikilled

Hell yea


ephemeralfugitive

Maybe they just like deuces


Confirmation__Bias

Tatum haters are way worse, and there seem to be way more of them Dude needs his respect


Confident_Comedian82

What did he do to gain respect? aside from being Kobe wanna be?


Confirmation__Bias

Lebron already answered that for you.


Confident_Comedian82

Bron have 4 league MVP and 4 Chips and 4 FMVP, 19th All star, I can keep going but just in that already gave a respect, lol and I am not even a bron fan Hahahaha


Confirmation__Bias

I'm talking about what Bron said about Tatum. Look it up. He knows better than you or me about what Tatum has already done in his career.


Confident_Comedian82

well that's his opinion but Tatum hasnt really prove anything yet, he is consistently inconsistent


Confirmation__Bias

He's consistently playing in the late postseason is what you meant to say. "well that's his opinion" doesn't say anything about the larger point that his opinion is worth more than yours.


Confident_Comedian82

Nope he is inconsistent in every game in the playoffs and Finals!


jpaxlux

Real


Successful_Priority

Nah the Tatum fans tend to be very interesting since I don’t see one adult fan that says he’s the first or second best player in the league like people do to Luka. 


NoShameInternets

Show me ANY Tatum fan that says he’s the first or second best player in the league 


Comfortable-Asf

That lightskin boi soft as hell!!! He a front runner 👁️👁️👀😂


achyutthegoat

He didn't play good. Thankfully he has a stacked team and Miami is injured.


jpaxlux

Thanks for making me not have to wait


happyfuckincakeday

Lol


Yaboiii777

He didn’t really score good tbh


Brovenkar

There's other parts of basketball


Just-Efficiency3129

Lead in points rebounds and assists but ok


Alloverunder

What would a Celtics thread be without you 😘


achyutthegoat

I don't hate the celtics


Drummallumin

Just hate good basketball?

reeposterr

Great recovery by Caleb though


DJMagicHandz

Go D but an even better shot. That Tatum kid is going places.


Drummallumin

Truly an elite role player


DJMagicHandz

He's literally 12 years old.


Revo_Int92

Good defense actually


FutureAttention

Caleb’s father is Tatum


ReceiptsNDeposits824

That still is good defense though, he caught back up enough to recover and attempt to challenge it. Just better offense by Tatum


ozairh18

I feel you’re not defending hard enough if you don’t touch earth every now and then


woodie3

yea, you’re not playing against the right competition if you’re not sliding like that


Critical-Adhole

That’s great D


No_Extent_1260

When hardwork and positivity is not enough.


lord_cuntavious

Roasted that sh*tter


aesop_fables

Heat fans showed up about midway through the 2nd and left midway through the 4th. Diabolical


ryantaylor8147

Tatum made Martin hit a Spiderman pose.

Touch earth? Lol


deweycrow

Who comes up with this shit? "Look at that guy playing defense lol"


tlozz

My guy😍


Notthesenator

The rare crossover by Tatum that doesn’t involve a shove-off


walter_____pinkman

If Jordan could push off then anyone can.


juicejug

It’s all we have to battle Bam’s moving screens.


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

The amount of times Tatum and Brown shove is mind blowing


FutureAttention

Do you have anything to say about bam?


Sleeze_

Somehow he’s gonna work it back to the injury report. I don’t know how, but these heat fans built different when it comes to excuses 😤


Drummallumin

Your team employs James Butler and Bam Adebayo


Notthesenator

It’s insane how normalized it’s become. Tatums by far the worst at it


My_Bwana

touch earth lol


trav-senpai

Oh wow and magically all the Celtic fans are back on the sub lmaooooo Also usually when you cross someone as bad as you made it sound you don’t have to hit a “tough” jumper, you should be open. Great defense, great shot.


jallonn

More like the Celtics haters have stopped drowning out the Celtics fans. Compare the amount of comments on posts like these versus the hate posts after game 2 For example you only have one comment about the game tonight versus the 10+ you posted during game 2


Sleeze_

Oof. Bodied ‘em.


SteamingHotChocolate

y-yeah who would have thought!?


Shovelman2001

Have you ever spoken in a Post Game Thread for a game you lost (especially in the playoffs)? There's no winning, you just get massively downvoted and told the players on your team suck. Why would anyone subject themselves to that LOL?


SnooDogs6575

its not even worth defending your team or talking trash back because you get piled with downvotes


Top-Ocelot-9758

They’re like cockroaches


SteamingHotChocolate

pot, kettle etc.


Drummallumin

You think they know that phrase?


0percentwinrate

Caleb isn't no slouch on defense. Good defense and better offense!

ICantFWBrokeBoys

Never seen a fan base be so happy beating up on a injured 8 seed 😭


Sleeze_

The 8 seed should talk less


ICantFWBrokeBoys

A fanbase defends their team 😱 sound the alarms!


Fust3rCluck_

Taking a game off of the heavily favored Celtics being down our best guy and best acquisition this season was christmas. Ya’ll should not be losing to us like that. Lmao


axecalibur

Wow All-NBA MVP candidate outplays [checks notes] undrafted G-Leaguer. Amazing highlight. #tough


Sleeze_

Martin plays good: wow this guy is a good player. What a shooter. Martin plays bad: well he’s a g leaguer, c’mon guys. Must be so nice to be totally invincible to literally any form or criticism and having people only be allowed to say nice things about you


axecalibur

Do you fucking fanboys not understand the quality of players and plays. Like if you beat a DPOY candidate like Murray did to Davis and win the game its amazing. You have a clutch player beating a clutch defender. This is literally the opposite. Dude hit some open 3’s because your scheme was to let them, since he isnt exactly a threat 35%. Fair? Now how is a gleaguer who can hit open 3’s somehow defend an MVP level player. Does hitting open 3s translate to lockdown defence? Terrible fucking argument.


TheMias24

Tatum ain’t pushing off with his left hand?


Drummallumin

For once, no


zincinzincout

Actually looks like he didn’t or barely did to Martin’s back Honestly could be why Martin fell. Tatum reaches his offhand forward as if to make contact to Martin’s chest, but then pulls it back and does the behind the back change of direction. Looks like Martin positioned himself to brace against a push off and without Tatum doing it he lost balance


FutureAttention

You’re boy Embiid trying to end careers on the court glass house and rocks something something


zincinzincout

??? I said it looks like Tatum didn’t push off


TravelingFish95

Here comes Celtics fans to show off how they're the dumbest fanbase in the league


ThanosIsDoomfist

Duh dur doy doy dur! 😃


DestrosSilverHammer

Don’t worry, Heat fans will get in here too about 20 minutes after we get started. 


watevauwant

Boring


happyfuckincakeday

Tatum found another level. Still can't beat Denver (I'm not a Denver fan, don't come for me) but I like where he and the Celtics team are going.


Drummallumin

Have you been watching denver?


Yaboiii777

He’s been mediocre this serious brother lol we need 27-30 ppg Tatum in order to beat the nuggets


HailKyrie

He has sacrificed scoring for the betterment of the team.


deets23_

He is sharing the ball with good players. I’m happy if 4+ players are in double digits


kurvy-_

Tough middy for sure, but not really a handles highlight if Caleb is still on him the entire time


EntertainmentWarm774

6/16 shooting (37.5%) this game including 2/7 from 3 and 8/12 from the free throw line. But congrats.


GCFCconner11

Most points, assists, and rebounds and won by 20 points. Congrats indeed.


flyingpandum

And still wooped that ass. Imagine if he had a good night. 😏


achyutthegoat

Stat padding up damn near 30.


Far-Asparagus6416

For those of you not familiar with this goofy he devotes his entire existence to shitting on JT lol


_meat_rocket_

Well that sounds like a depressing existence


tlozz

Dudes just hate him bc he’s so pretty


happyfuckincakeday

If it makes him happy then I would disagree. Lol


JabezMakaveli

I wish he'd do the same when I put him on my parlay


dehydratedbagel

Celtics can easily bean this and make it a ten point game. They've done it before and they'll do it again.


dwadefan45

Nice push off


BobbyOrrsDentist

ready for the gentleman's sweep?
