2024 NBA Playoffs - East 1st Round: #1 Boston Celtics vs. #8 Miami Heat (BOS WINS 4-1)

Bam should be suspended after all these dirty plays this series. He’s tried to hit Porzingis at least 2-3 times in addition to this.

How in the HELL do you get a Flagrant 1 for not letting a shooter land when the shooter wasn't a shooter? The rulebook literally doesn't allow for that to be a Flagrant, its either nothing, a tech, or double tech. That is an incredibly bad misinterpretatiom of the rules. Total momentum shifter as well. And people wonder why many say this league is rigged.

Pathetic.

These empty seats are always an awful look. It could very well be the last time your team plays until October. Clap for a decent & playoff bound season. Miami fought like hell tonight and deserve some love.

They know how to close out with one foot under the guys landing spot... and they know how to "go wide" with their close out. I question if a lot of you have ever been athletic or played ball.

Only Celtics haters will defend that garbage

People do realize that Bam didn’t get the flagrant for contesting the shot, right? Guys do that all the time when players shoot. He got the flagrant because he contested by running into the guys landing zone. Which is a tech in a live contest too. Can’t say I’ve ever seen this before, but it’s obviously not a flagrant because he put his hand up lol

He shouldn't have been shooting in the first place..

Could he have just kicked Tatum in the nuts? Hey shouldn’t have been shooting!

That would have been better.

It was after the whistle...why is he supposed to care if Tatum shoots at that point?

Something must be in that Florida water with that low IQ statement. No surprise.

It’s low IQ to say a player shouldn’t let their opponent just freely shoot the ball? Lol you’re a clown.

Thank you again Coach Pop and Spurs for Derrick White.

He has really been above and beyond for our franchise. A true professional in.every facet of his game. Been my favourite Celtic player for a couple of.years now. Just plays the game in the right way!

League reached out and told him that’s not allowed, fwiw. So you’re kind of making the point against Bam here with this lol

My confusion is I’m not sure I’ve seen a flagrant called after another foul already made a dead ball. I’ve typically seen them called technicals while flagrants are reserved for live play.

Alright guess we should undercut Bam after every shot. It’s all cool

Boston has to get their starters off the floor

Imagine what the Celtics would look like if they wasn't playing hurt?

Heat got checked hard and found out.

No it's low IQ to say a guy landing on a players foot isn't dirty. But expected from Florida. :lol:

If you smack someone in the head after the whistle cuz they went up for a dunk it would be a flagrant. You can not go into someone's landing zone. It's that simple. You are not recognizing the "spirit" of the rule. The guy is defenseless.

Which is what also makes it dirty.

Who wins?
