People will all forget the Lakers being swept if the Celtics make a historic comeback from being down 3-0 which no team has ever done.
Jimmy butler poke bear…. Get your bag grant…lebron this how you don’t get swept.Lebisexuals say oh he had 40 yeah but because he play no defense he was swept!!! Get Ad some real help!!
Boston is a #2 defensive team in the league. The 1st 3 games for Boston is not who they are during the whole season. I am glad they rediscovered their defensive identity. Their offense will be fine, just as long as they play great defense. Celtics in 7
Jimmy Nobuckets poke wrong bear…
Brian Windbag lol, LeBron dickrider and Steph hater
Windhorst is a bloated gasbag that no knowledgeable NBA fan takes seriously. He's the reporting world's biggest lapdog for LeBron and adds very little–actually nothing–in terms of actual insight into the game on the floor. I'll give LeBron his props. Windhorst is an absolutely obese lapdog so the fact that LeBron isn't injured while 'Windy' slavishly sits on his lap is a testament to LeBron's strength.
This Celtics defense is looking alot like how they did last season. And that was what got them to the Finals.
Both teams showed the fighting spirit, but its the Celtics that bought their A game tonight, sloppy game for the Heat a lot turnovers, game like this sometimes happen. A very dissaponting night for the Heat I do think Heat still have the better all around squad. Bounce back in 6!!!
Celtics are playing much better defense than the first three games. Going to still be tough to come back given game 6 is in Miami.
This game exposes the nonsense about coaches winning games hahaha… Heat lost the game in the 1st quarter and coach can't do anything to turn it around in the next 3. Basically no shooting equals poor coaching; great shooting equals great coaching hahaha… Begs the question why fire coaches? Ah yes, they need fall guys. Stars too expensive to kick around. Although the truth is stars lose games.
Heat need Gabe Vincent for game 6. If he doesn't play Celtics winning the series
The Heat are a bunch of over achievers.
I swear this whole comment section has the memory of a goldfish lmao. 1 game and everybody thinks Bostons gonna change history because ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Miami just have to keep it close enough and Jimmy's killer instinct will pop in and those poor children from Boston will never be seen again.
All you guys (except Celtics fans) calling for boston in seven are essentially saying Miami won't go on at least one run the rest of this series. Spo won't genius something up, Butler won't will anything, Bam won't force it, a bench guy won't step up… because all it takes is one run and Boston has showed us all post season they will collapse.
Tatum: we just out here having fun playing loose tehee!
Butler: Imma smash these children so hard they mama's gonna try to sue me.
I expect Game 6 to be war. It would be exciting to see a Game 7.
Heat looks scared right now. But i'll stick with the heat.
Brian doesn't know what the Heat are feeling…
The bench undrafted magic blew their load, see if the heat get it back
IF this Celtics team shows up, then they have a better chance of making it a series against Denver.
Celtics in 7
I just don't see the heat and jimmy butler loosing two more times.
Your odds scoreboard is incorrectly inverted for Money line. Should be CELTICS -118, HEAT +140. Come on ESPN.
Windy thinks it's a series now. Windy talking energy is like a turtle telling a rabbit how to win the race.
I believed that the Celtics would win. I believe..I believe that this Celtics team will win.
Defense. Defense. Defense & a new referee crew.
Bam and Kyle Lowry really cost them the game with all those turnovers in the beginning. That was unacceptable. It’s like they forgot how to play basketball.
If anyone thinks celtics would get swept by Denver should never watch ball ever again. When cs play the way they played all year they're too deep, can't be beatin in 7 game series
One of the announcers said if the heat make it to the finals tyler herro could play but that doesn't seem likely….Chuck even said Boston at it's best will beat the heat every time. Celtics are a unit and they all know how to communicate as a unit.💚💚💚💚
imagine if the heat wins the game 7 if ever lmaooooo alot crazier than a sweep
Boston finally showed up i was wondering what happened to the team that i saw the regular season .Have Boston finally slowed Playoff Jimmy down ??? Game 6 Must win for Miami Game on now!!! I Love the NBA PLAYOFFS!!!
Windy take every opportunity to take a shot at the heat smh
Once again it all and I mean all about the Celtics. If they show up with defensive effort there is nothing Miami can do to win because the Celtics are far superior when they show up to play defense. The question this season is will they? They seem to be at their best with their backs against the wall
Go Celtics!
Breaking 'Windy' Brian coming live with hard hitting nba takes! Clevlands own! 1 of lebrons biggest ball lickers! This dude hasnt lost any weight since lebron was drafted in 03'
They should be pissed off that they had this series and now it's in doubt. But it's the necessary wake up call. I don't like how it's just a given that Boston will be able to win game 6 or game 7. Miami on their home floor will get it done if they can play with intensity and physicality, which has been missing the last 2 nights.
50/50 for a game 7, think Celtics can win game 6, Heat should feel pressure to close out the series!
Jokic said whoever win i am gonna win championship 😃
Jimmy has been a no show for 2 games and why is Lowry playing, Hightower and Martin needs more play time. keep sorry Lowry on the bench.
Heat in 6!!
ALL THIS DOES IS GIVES THE DENVER NUGGETS MORE ADDED REST😂……
Denver is winning it all anyways. Sorry Celdicks. No number 18 for you this year lol
We need to stop pretending that this was a normal 0-3 series. Typically the team that's up 3-0 is significantly better than than the team that is down. Boston is so much better than miami. If they're playing well, then miami isn't capable of beating them
Its over for miami, I don't think they can comeback from back to back blowouts
I know Jimmy's handling it different… He's finally wearing clothes on the podium…😂😂😂😂😂😂
ESPN just trying to get people to watch! this series is over tomorrow
Heat in 6.
I lkie how everyone forgets that the Heat are playing without their best one-one player
