I dont agree with Spo saying the other games don't matter. Celtics figured out how to control the pace of the game by imposing their will defensively to create turnovers and bad shots to get out in transition, someone other than jimmy is going to need to step up and make contested shots otherwise the celtics will take advantage of that with their depth
Its elimination Tatum till game 7
Its Gonna Be Hard For Miami To Score With 40pts….On The Bench…Hurt…..Cade Getting Hurt….Really Hurts….N It Showed…..The Guard Play Is Winning Out….n Miami Has None…..Which Could Change The Series……n Like I Said…..If Any Town N The World That Can Comeback From 0-3…..Its Boston…..This Is Nothin New….Theyve Already Done This Before…..Lets Ask The Yankees How That Turned Out….((drops 🎤))…..
This further proves, that Leakers is the worst Conf. Finalist in the history of the NBA
Kyle Larry is a complete disgrace , he is a disaster, he is disappointment , he should have been trade last year , he is a complete scrubb …….!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the closest thing we came to a 3-0 comeback was the Dallas Mavericks vs the Portland Trailblazers in the 1st round 2003 NBA Playoffs. The Blazers were the team trailing 0-3 in the series. The Blazers lead at the beginning of the 4th quarter in that Game 7, but then the Mavericks pulled out at the end to win the series and avoid the upset.
The NBA and Media looks happy now with 2 extended games. more games more $$$ to earn.. enough! Heat in 6! with Gabe and Hero.
We can & we will drink more beer & wine.
It doesnt matter who wins now. They are giving the Nuggs a long break. The nuggs will be fresh while these two teams will be running on fumes
Telling that Spol said “who cares” what the locker room mood is, instead of saying something positive like confident or relaxed. They know they’re in trouble.
gotta wonder when the 8 seed heat that barely made the playoffs & lost the first play-in was going to start acting like themselves. especially with herro out this team just doesnt have enough. even with both teams BEST possible game, boston blows them out by 20-40 easily
No wonder. NBA needs money.
the heat like me are never gona realize that they are the beter team
Stop Jimmy butler and let the other heat players beat you. Good game plan 🙂
Spole looks worried
Low key mad I missed this game yesterday 😂
Jackie Mcmullens retired!!! We need another old Blonde women to replace her ASAP!! 7:15
Yea its over for Miami no way shape or form is miami better than boston
I love how Jimmy Butler was praised and " feared " the passed week, but now people are starting to call him a choker. lmao
Umm did he really say, "Who CARES about mood?"
And when the threes don’t land then what ?
Miami really got lucky the first three games, Celtics missed a lot of open shots those games. They’re making them now which is the difference
Jaylen Brown after ECF Game 6: 'They let us get
THREE, don't let us get another!' 😤I NBA on

This mess ain't over. No accolades. No sycophants. No wagons. One focus. One goal. One point. One reason.
"Hey Magic Johnson, watch this"!
