I am embarrassed to say have been to bathroom 4 times today- I have not been this nervous before a game since I cannot remember- maybe the 80’s vs Lakers!

Lol I got guests over and there's a lot of good food but I don't feel hungry because I'm so nervous.

Maybe it'll end up being celebration food at the end? (praying)

Oh hell yeah it's celebration food and drinks! Nearly midnight here and I'm now eating a ton haha

ESPN acting like this was supposed to be easy?

Now they are saying Boston was lucky.

Bam and Tatum embrace was beyond a normal congratulations. It had a “let’s play together someday” feeling.

Tatum got that love from most of the Heat players.  Bucks and Nets showed him a lot of love at the end of those series too.  Get the sense that he's very well-respected across the league.

with a little bit of recruiting on their part I'm sure

[seancally]

not a fan of Tatum wearing the Kobe arm band.  needs to learn what franchise he plays for

Its fine. Its his childhood hero who trained him personally despite being a Celtic who also tragically died. The fact that Kobe of all people took time to tutor a Celtic I think should make this even.

And Kobe coulda been a Celtic if they drafted him. Who cares.

I HAVE LITERALLY NEVER SEEN A BIGGER IDIOT THAN MARCUS F***ING SMART IN MY LIFE. WHY THE F*** ARE WE LETTING HIM p--- THIS Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again. GAME AWAY IN THE LAST 2 MINUTES

Yet.... he stepped up with the go-ahead free throws to seal the game for us. We don't win this series or game without Smart.

We win it much easier without Smart.

Stop it. That's nonsensical. He put up 24 pts, 9 rebs, 5 assists, 2 steals, and only 1 TO. That's a pretty good night, some ill-advised shots notwithstanding.

And to be honest, I think people are focusing a little too much on the final three threes. They seemed worse because of how close together they were and the context of the game, but he was literally WIDE OPEN on every single one. Usually he knocks at least one of them down, and I'm pretty sure each one wasn't early in the shot clock or anything. It's his other threes in the first half and some in the second that people should be focusing on.

C's are now 7-2 on the road this postseason, and they are I believe 6-0 after a loss. Nice! 

No doubt about it, this team is resilient. Have been since January

[Silas]

Sure does!

[kraidstar]

SAS is destroying smart now

cannot miss those at end

played well all game held lead

double digits

and almost blew it at end

Marcus really needed to take the ball inside on a couple of those plays for a floater or a pass to a shooter.

They're good friends. They train together in the offseason.

Smart again with the most shots on the team and he still bricked away to keep Miami in this  -- 8-22.   infuriating

... but he was 3rd in assists!!!

He's a terrible floor general.

A lot of those shots were him getting the ball open near the end of the shot clock.  Would have been nice if he made them, but the shots weren’t for the most part bad.  The results were tho.

Agreed. People are really focusing on the wrong thing here. If anything it was his first half ill-advised shots that were the most maddening. The last ones were actually good looks, as he was wide open on each one.

Yeah, that is a complete and utter rubbish thing to post. Smart was our third best player. 1 turnover from him was immense

That is insane considering the quality of our opponents

wasn't a fan of his game and still infuriated over 2010 where the Lakers were handed the title in game 7

Look I hated Kobe. But with all that happened and the circumstances surrounding Tatum and Kobe this is fine.
