Celtics (2-3) at Heat (3-2) ECF Game #6 5/27/23

[SHAQATTACK]

Bill Russell has a message to Miami from Heaven

LOL…too funny

Heat have the same message from me too !

[Phantom255x]

So butler guaranteed a game 6 win

And Spo just guaranteed a game 7 win

I hope Boston comes out and ends these talkers

Lol even Spo didn’t seem to believe it though

They are shook. They had to hold on tonight

Now chuck taking Miami in game 7...

2 games ago he said game 6 is the series

oddly, he ended his rant by picking the C’s in game seven. he’s correctly abusing the C’s for another putrid half of basketball, though. like many of us, chuck finds this team to be an enigma.

The last couple of years this Celtics teams has provided seemingly a lifetime of thrilling playoff moments and series:

The good:
Game 1 vs Brooklyn last year
Down 3-2 vs Bucks last year, comeback
Down 3-2 vs Philly this year, comeback
Down 3-0 vs Miami, and now still alive for a Game 7

The bad:
Game 3 vs Milwaukee in '22. Al's putback called off.
Game 5 vs Atlanta this year, Trae Young's 3 to win
Game 4 vs Philly. Harden's 3 then Smart's 3 called off.

The lucky and ugly:
Game 7 vs Miami last year with Butler's missed 3
Game 6 vs Miami right now, with White's miracle tip in

That foul by Al.....

I felt Butler was going to miss the shot.

but if he makes it, we have, what, 1 second left at most?

Did Al's terrible foul save our season?

YUP SCREW HIM

WE WILL NOT MISS ALL THOSE THREES AGAIN AT HOME

WE WILL BE READY AND JACKED

WE WILL PLAY D AT THIS LEVEL AGAIN

WE WILL CONTAIN JIMMY AND BAM AGAIN

I DOUBT VINCENT AND MARTIN PLAY LIKE  CURRY AND JORDAN AGAIN

I DO NOT SEE US FLOPPING

WE WILL BE ON FIRE

MIAMI IS CRUMBLING BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THIS GUT PUNCH

BUT WE ARE NOT DONE YET

RUN THEM OUT THE BUILDING MONDAY

LET THERE BE NO SOUBT

NO MORE CHOKES

[A Future of Stevens]

I love how everyone in the stadium thought it wasn't good. Everybody except White and the ref who called it. A taste of despair. Let's go Celtics! Put them down on Monday

[celts55]

So now that I’ve taken a moment, except for the last shot, the last 4 minutes were pretty awful. If Robinson hits either of those wide open 3’s, the season is over. Why do they have to make it so hard? You can’t milk the clock with 4 minutes to go. Jeez, learn that already

YUP HE IS FOS

THEY ARE SHAKEN

GUT PUNCH

THEY ARE DROWNING

[Donoghus]

What a win.

I’m not sure the last time I was this emotionally spent after sporting event.  SB51?

The ultimate rollercoaster

[mef730]

Blow them out Monday

I can’t imagine we’ll be that cold from 3 again, at home too

Strangest game ever. We couldn’t hit the side of a barn from 3. Bam and Butler were awful. Martin, Robinson and Struss hit everything they shot. A coach’s challenge may have turned a 2 into a 3. Maz made a good time out call. None of these things will happen again in game 7.

I’m just curious what oddities will replace them.

The last 5 or so years have had plenty. Some infamous moments include OG's corner 3, and Middleton's 30 foot dagger

I'm at my parents' house watching this game, and we just went berserk for about ten minutes watching that. My God.

But, holy cow, that's so concerning how we choke this stuff away. Joe and the guys both really crapped the bed. JB and Smart missing free throws, Al with stupid fouls, Joe sitting on his hands letting that run kill us and making no effort to adjust things, etc.

Very true

Same thing last year’s Game 7. Blew a 13 point lead in 3 minutes. Imagine if Butler hit that 3 late. Even today we lucked out Robinson bricked some open 3s. Miami went on a 14-4 run before White made the game winner

If you don’t count the game winner, Cs choked. But they made the game winner.  I thought they’d lose a close game. They didn’t.  If they take G7 this win will be a learning experience.  Needed to win a close one and they finally did.

Look, I love Tatum. But they have GOT TO STOP letting him initiate offense late. He slows it waaaaay down, the c's don't even get into an action until there's 7 seconds left on the shot clock.

Have your PG's play PG. Doesn't mean he can't take a lot of shots or touch the ball every possesion, but not to start.

We choked, and then Derrick White came in with the Heimlich.

Hahaha  well put
