[Max Strus] “There was 4 minutes left, I looked at Gabe like ‘we’re going to the Finals’… the [Celtics] were done, all their fans were leaving, it was quiet, it was dead. It was the best feeling that I’ve had yet in my career.”

Max “Zodiac” Strus
Ahahaha that despair felt so good watching it on TV and reading the subreddit
Last season so many Celtics fans were posting about Heat fans leaving early. Was pretty cathartic watching them funnel out last night
So happy for Gabe and Max. Both have been in/out of the league since 2018. They’ve made about $4.5mil each in those 4-5 years. They’re going to get paid this offseason.
I remember this guy couldn’t buy himself playing time for the Bulls. Then one day he gets put in against the Heat, down by 10 with under a minute to go. He then nails a few threes and brings us back into it, before eventually losing. He never played for us again, but clearly Spo was paying attention.
For me it was 6:15 to go in the 4th, Heat were on a big run and Duncan Robinson gets past Sam Hauser for the lay-up to go up by 21, then [silences the crowd](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbuVTHUJWFk&t=7m38s). That TO by Mazzulla legit felt like they were throwing in the towel. Honestly thought he was gonna take out the starters right then and there, the crowd was already absolutely dead, nobody believed they could come back anymore.
Jason Jackson is the man… *J-Jax if ya nasty!*
Traitor 🙁
I’d never heard Max Strus speak before. From his name I always thought he was German or some shit
Inject this into my veins
I like how his arm is draped around him like they’re drinking buddies.
Can anyone tell me who the black guy is? I’ve seen him do heat media all year but still don’t know his name
All while Heat fans are screaming “send Butler to the bench so he doesn’t get injured!”
Rub it in
When you can make that haunted accursed place quite you’ve done good good works.
Max Strus is my favorite Nick Kroll character
Savor that moment role player cuz you’ll never have one better for your entire pathetic career. Nuggets in 4 and not a single game will be close 😂
I look forward to watching Denver crush them.
He just like me fr
Max Strus is a Chicago-ass dude. Through and through. Happy for the lad.
It was a great feeling, but dead eyed Bill Simmons really made the moment special.
TIL he’s American and not German
Max Strus representing the entire sub lol
Hope this guy forgets a fork in the microwave
Idk why. He reminds me of Ted Mosby from HIMYM
Just asking the question. How many Game 7s have been bliwouts with 4 minutes to go? Celtics still need to clean house.
