Not sure how winning more playoff series than any East team since 2020 is "underwhelming" but go ahead kid. Keep tooting your horn.


Celtics been to 5 of the last 8 ecf kid.

Know why no one brings it up? Cause it don't matter.

Heat continue to underachieve because they don't have a star. They're a foundering franchise with the second most fair weathered fans in the show baby.

They didn't want this smoke and they should of beat the sixers.


Cool. So go by your logic your team has been underwhelming since... 2007?


The Celtics have 1 title since 2007.

Do you think that's good?

Me either.

Heat suck.

You got a clip? Can't remember that one.


It happened on this play. And just like yesterday, it happened during a blowout.

Yep, missed the next game (game 4) and, despite ridiculous performances in games 6 & 7 after getting knee injections, he was not the same after that play.

I just can’t find a scenario where heat take more than one game. Gentlemen sweep on account of culture, but the Celtics didn’t even play great in game 1. They were good. But they got another gear.

These are players who run, stop and jump vertically in a fraction of second, it was clearly intentional.

Anyway, great attitude shown by Tatum and Boston in general on the episode.


:lol: , where is Caleb doing any spinning around like a brainless chicken? I don't see that in the video, but A+ effort the extra sauce to try and prove a point that doesn't exist. Players run, stop and jump all the time, notice how when their pushed they have not control over the direction or area where they land when it happens. Its the reason why your not supposed to undercut someone in the air or push them in motion. I've seen plenty of people, and myself include get pushed from the back running in for a rebound. In high school I had a similar thing happened except it ended with me falling over and cutting my face on my team mates elbow. There's a lot of reaching going on.


You and plenty of people are not world class athletes. Also, that was a “push” of an intensity basically lower than 99% of contacts happening in a normal nba game.

We would have people flying in the tribunes at each fast break if that “push” can make Martin lose control that way.

I know lol it really does seem to be an East coast thing. I'm a Celtics fan but I live in California and I spend a lot of time wondering what the heck people are chewing each other out about and why. Fighting people is very popular around here but it's really not my idea of a good day haha.

This is by far the least interesting series. I think the Celtics would have won easily even if Butler was playing but without him, it's a wrap.

Over under 1.5 games lost for the Celtics over the first 2 rounds?

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.



Didnt they hurt Giannis last year too?


Yeah, they were responsible for grant hills ankle injury, global warming and Jan 7th too. They’re the worst.
