It's a clumsy play there was no cynical intent, the players involved knew it, so I don't know why people on keyboards think they know better? I suppose we need something to talk about.


Grown man shoved 6 feet? No. Not unless he's actually a wimp. I guess I could see it. Heat culture doesn't exude quality.

It looked bad live and there's a tendency for people to assign nefarious motives to those they don't like. Like you said there was clearly no malicious intent, but I still have no idea what Jrue was doing. Maybe Martin got physical with him on a previous play or something.

Jrue shoved him. I didn't see that at first.


good eyes didn't spot that either

lol. Watch in slow mo. Jrue didnt shove. There was some contact but it didn’t change Martins speed or direction. Funny how people can see different things when they have an agenda.

Strategy for Boston seems simple, let Bam shoot as many shots as he likes in the paint. Bam shooting 18 times is probably going to be a win for us every time. Heat need a lot more 3s

You’re right. Let’s do a free for all.

Bisme, you didn’t sing Happy Birthday to me and I took it personally and cried.

I don’t like you.


Lol from one douchebag who is universally disliked to another, I hope you had a nice birthday.


Are you calling me a douchebag, douchebag?

No Butler and Rozier for the Heat.

This could be a quick series.

I agree Jrue didn't shove him, however if he did tough him enough to force him forward like that, which I don't think he did, it was a long distance to travel and Martin didn't look up towards the ball to attempt to rebound.

You'd think his eyes would be towards the ball...

Doubtful. Probably Heat in 7 if they were both playing. Nothing Boston did against the Heat during the regular season was particularly impressive or would lead to a 4 or 5-game series. The games were more competitive than the sweep would indicate, and not always with Miami healthy.

Jrue for sure touched Martin. But he didn't shove him. He also didn't force him to jump up and in at Tatum. Dirty play. This heat team doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Just a coincidence that this happened 30 seconds after spo called a time out in a 16 point game with 1:30 left. Heat culture...
