The Heat will win the chip this year.
Jimmy butler fire š„ in his heart is scary when he went face to face with Williams I got goose bumps I felt the passion the fire š„ and desire Jimmy would make a great apprentice
Tatum and Brown together is an elite duo tbh they work good together not greedy on who there playing off of. And to think they where gonna split them up thank god they didnāt. The whole team plays great as a unit quick passes and if ur open take the shot. This team can shoot 3ās all day from PG down to the C can shoot a 3. As a Celtics fan I love this starting 5
PG: M. Smart
SG: Jaylen Brown
SF: Jayson Tatum
PF: Robert Williams III
C: Al Horford
Dudeā¦. Jimmy will get this ring over the Denver nuggets.. wish is was golden state not Denver. Should be a good one to watch. Miami vs Denver finals 2023
A lot of good is going on in Miami I guess.
Heat (8th seed) up 2-0
Panthers (8th seed) in Eastern Conference Finals

CALEB MARTIN LEGACY GAME GRANT WILLIAMS WHO?!?!?!!
Erik spoelstra timeout when they had 61 and Tatum Hit that 3 so under looked spoelstra destroyed Celtics momentum great coach
Aye Heat fans and organization, respect the heart and gameplay the Heat Bringing. Bucks now Celtics 2-0 in Boston. Impressive.
When Jimmy plays
The Heat have only lost 2 games in the playoffs
1 game to Milwaukee and 1 game to New York
They might lose 1 game to Boston but i doubt it
Jimmy needs to be on that top 75 all time list .
Williams got smoked by Jimmy B!
Heat or nothing!
From a die hard sixers fan thank you heat for the two wins Boston just shows us they're nobody
As a Celtics fan we are in trouble
Jimmy Jordan
When you thought the Heat is done after losing to Hawks in the Play-in and then now they're on the verge on getting to the finals
Moral of the story don't make jimmy butler mad
Imagining this Jimmy Butler and MVP Derrick Rose together in Chicago Bulls š®āšØ
Sit down Boston you done. Jimmy Butler is making fools of the Boston Celtics
Nuggets vs Heat finals is going to be a great series.
Ludaaa
Jimmy Bulter was giving Grant Williams hell after talking that smackšš
This series is a masterclass on how important coaching is.The Celtic are far more talented of a team, but are led by an inexperienced coach. That is why they aren't up 2-0.
It's over!!!!!
Wow! Hadn't seen Ludacris in a minute! lol
That's what the Celtics get for talking shit
Tobias over Me? Philly is punching air this time
