    If we’re ever going to see a 3-0 comeback, this is the chance

  2. homefree122

    Jimmy Butler only took 10 shots. I simply do not understand how that’s possible.

  3. RabbitWolfie

    Mazzulla seems to have watched more film of the Heats and less of Ben Affleck this week

  4. FredDupe

    THE BUFFALO WANTS TO GO BACK TO COLORADO

  5. DIXtICon

    somehow only ended up being a 13 point game but it was never even close

  6. Kyler1313

    I’m not saying the Celtics are going to come back to win this series… But the Celtics have come back from 3-2 deficits in the playoffs twice in the past year. They are certainly making it interesting…

  7. Sir, a second Celtics win has hit the Los Angeles Lakers.

  8. Palifaith

    I blame this on Shakira, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

  9. GGezpzMuppy

    Celtics has to realise they can only go so far as the Buffalo carries them.

    Let the man take charge and he will carry the Jays to the promise land.

  10. DiseaseRidden

    Miami put Mazzulla into a chokehold. Their fucking mistake.

  11. smoltanboi

    chris i’m sorry for talking so much shit a week ago can you please add me back to the group chat

  12. HornyHindu

    #TOP O’ THE MORNING, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

    **p.s. the ROAMING BUFFALO brought the HEAT tonight!**

  13. LouieM13

    “Don’t let us get one.”

    -Marcus Smart

  14. BlazeBloom

    Celtics can complete the Reverse Sweep as long as they don’t play any close games.

  15. MiaCannons

    Thank you Highsmith, Caleb, and Duncan for actually showing up tonight.

    Highsmith is definitely going to be in the rotation next game even if Vincent can play. He was an absolute dog on defense. Didn’t bite on any pump fakes and stayed glued to his man.

    Disgusted with what I saw from Jimmy, Bam, and Lowry. All of them were way too indecisive with what they wanted to do which lead to a ton of turnovers. Bam was probably the worst of them because most of his were due to having butterfingers instead of bad passes.

    Spoiler: Dribbling half the shot clock away then passing the ball once for an iso isn’t good offense. Neither is driving in the paint, instantly stopping, then pivoting a bunch to either put up a contested shot or trying to force a pass.

  16. silverxsmoke

    Bro if the Celtics win this series..

  17. mtaylor808

    It is very difficult to resist the masculine urge to say Celtics in 7

  18. SterlingMallory

    Boston winning this series and espn analytics being right after all would be hilarious

  19. beamingleanin

    if we choke a 3-0 lead im becoming a warriors fan

  20. Uncircled_swag2

    They rewrote the script because some of you guys were getting wild saying Butler was better than Tatum all time

  21. longconsilver13

    Schill game 6. Game 7 anything can happen

  22. Solid-Confidence-966

    Another elimination game master class for Tatum

  23. SweetSmplAlchemy

    Mouthpiece Curry. Untucked Kyrie. Headband Lebron.

    Elimination Game Celtics.

  24. jrlandry

    This was an absolute masterclass by Tatum that the stat sheet won’t show

  25. OrdinaryFortune8690

    The nuggets are loving this…an absolute slug fest in the ECF

  26. Shwaziland

    Horrible night to be a hater. Cs in 7

  27. FredDupe

    This sub better hope we lose in game 6. Or else we will be insufferable

  28. Viscously-Organic

    Oh god oh fuck they’re gonna do it aren’t they

  29. hellflower666

    You’d think with all the Celtic lowlights and Heat highlights posted, the Heat were up by 20 in the 4th

  30. Gnartopia

    Who is wearing the bloody sock for game 6?

  31. Tominio7

    Gonna be embarrassing if ESPN predictions prove to be accurate after all

  32. Lawful_Rebellion

    You’re welcome for the additional Inside the NBA episodes folks

  33. Dreamlifehunting

    The buffalo was roaming.

    Elimination game Tatum.

    Is this happening?

  34. At least it’s a TNT series getting extended. If I had to listen to Mark Jackson through game 6 I’d be pissed.

  35. Janice_Ant

    Okay this is the PHI series all over again with the 3-2. Cmon Celtics lemme see a historic moment.

  36. Mynamedoesntfuckingf

    Ah yes, a series turnaround thanks to the help of

    *checks notes*

    Grant Williams

  37. the celtics really had to go down 0-3 to play like they give a fuck

  38. StridingNephew

    “Sam Hauser with a dagger three, and the Celtics climb back to 3-2 against the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals” is not a sentence I expected to see this season

  39. DuckDucks

    The statistical models licking their lips rn

  40. neongem

    Regardless of who wins, I’m just glad the Celtics have decided to make this a series. Two sweeps with over a week in between Finals starting would’ve been boring asf.

  41. We were all clowning on Marcus Smart but he might have been cooking

  42. desirox

    I think Heat have to win game 6. You don’t want to play a game 7 in Boston

  43. TheSaltySloth

    Kid in the back of Inside has a “Putin, ISIS, Kim Jong Un, Kyrie” shirt on lol
