Obviously the odds are against Miami in this upcoming series, but the fact that Miami is even in this position as the eighth seed, in the Eastern Conference Finals *again*, against Boston *again*.
If Miami somehow pulls it off, this clip from last year will definitely make the rounds.

I’ll bet on playoff Jimmy to get it done all day every day. I have faith
Jimmy needs to be healthy if they are gonna have any chance.
He did not look good towards the end of the Knicks series
I hate y’all, this series gonna give me anxiety. You guys are tough and have the dawg that the sixers lack despite the talent difference.
I hope he’s getting lots of kissies on his ankle. Let’s go Jimmy.
Compare this to the Sixers throwing someone under the bus every year. Culture matters.
I believe you Jimmy
It’s gonna be another close series, but I have Celtics in 6.
Jimmy deserves a ring. This is the only time I will root for the Heat.
How do people like this exist?
Uncontacted tribes in the Amazon smell this dudes basketball blood lust and wonder wtf is happening.
If the Heat win, this clip goes down as one of the most legendary post game pressers ever
I’m taking the Heat in this series. The Celtics are just way too inconsistent. Unlike Philly, the Heat will know how to close it out when the time comes. It’s gonna be a Heat vs Nuggets finals. Nuggets in 6.
Jimmy really shows how if you overperform in the playoffs, everyone likes you. Except whoever plays against you.
Not hating but I truly was hoping the Heat never made the playoffs this year, it seems like they always give us hell.since the bubble. We were sitting comfortably top 3 in the east and it looked like they’d missed the playoffs. Once they beat the Bucks I knew we were not going to the finals without getting through them. Behold were in the ECF again where they lost last season by 1 shot. Whoever wins out the East imo wins it all.
this is gonna depend on tatum if hes finally playing well again and game 7 wasnt a mirage.
They have the exact same team, but they added Kevin Love. And now they don’t have Herro.
Celtics have a better team than last year.
I think this will be a highly competitive series because this heat team is not a true 8th seed. They are a great team and a great coached team. If the Celtics are locked in, then they should win the series. They should know better by now, you can’t fuck around with the heat. They will make you pay.
In Jimmy We Trust
On paper it’s Celtics in 4 or 5. Add in Butler and the Celtics masochistic tendency to make things harder than they need to be, and it will go to 6.
The zombie Heat is coming to win it all
Jimbo have SPOken
In Jimbo we trust
This is the way
The Heat are going to need to replicate last year’s ball pressure forcing turnovers and rely on the Celtics’ maddening tendency to cough up games that they should win.
As a Celtic fan, with the Finals 4 games away, I’m hoping and praying that this team finally cuts the shit and displays the much needed ruthlessness to just put this team that they are clearly better than away in 5 to 6…
But I’m mentally girding myself for 7.
And this is the guy that espn thinks a 3% chance of going to the finals hahahaha
Celtics are beating Miami in a gentlemen sweep
If jimmy and heat win the series it would be something huge for butler legacy
If they pull this off that quote will be legendary.
Fuck man fucking leave us alone. We’re already ready for anxiety and a 7-game series because Jimmy really is Himmy
Unfortunately with injuries they’re worse than last season and the Celtics are healthier. This time last year smart and timelord were battling injuries and missing multiple games
He also said the heat were gonna win game 7 after their game 6 win last season
Jimmy Butler is sacrificing his ankle to win a championship. He got 2-3 more years at best. At this point it is sheer will that is leading him. It would be unfortunate if he does not win a championship. I really feel he is one of the few players who has the mental fortitude to overcome injury.
Hell yeah. Destroy them Leprechauns please.
Theres not many players I fear more than playoff Jimmy Butler
Fuck the Chicago Bulls
Jim fucking Butler, if he says so he does so.
Kyle Lowry ain’t the answer man
Mom come pick me up I’m scared.
I know people hate Cs. Jimmy is 8th seed. People like underdogs. Jimmy is fan and media favorite.
Can’t wait for Cs to send him home soon so these posts will stop.
The hollywood story just lines up too nicely for Miami… Doubted all season, lost in the Playin, kicked the Bucks, possible revenge on Boston. Butler the ultimate competitor carrying the Heat to a rematch of the bublle against LA and getting a ring…
It’s sus
Jimmy Butler is a Hall of Famer. More and more people are becoming aware of this now
I’m a Knicks fan but you can’t help but root for Jimmy as long as he’s not murdering your team
Celtics play around too much. Jimmy is coming in HOT.
As much as a classic Lakers/Celtics series sounds fun…. I really want to see Jimmy win one. The dude runs on pure heart and soul. He IS basketball.
Jimmy Butler is inevitable
