ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

mazzula doing thousand yard stares every time they cut to him

smart and lowry are staging a WWE match in the middle of the game

The Heat are just doing everything they want to do without any real pressure from the Celtics.

21 point lead. my god

Ahahaha Smart T’d up for whining too much

this is hard to watch tbh

No, it's fine.

My 8 year old son just told me his favorite player in the league is….Caleb Martin

at least he picked someone who jumps really high

they’ve finally started to send doubles at butler….

jaylen brown is a confounding player

really dont know what the celtics should do this offseason but it feels like they should be blowing up nick nurse's phone

i admit that i didn’t know until the other day that the entirety of mazzulla’s coaching experience was at glenville state, fairmont state, the maine red claws and then the celtics for 3 seasons

i'm not physically turning on this series until/unless they give me a reason to but yeah they're going to need to get another coach in here

i'd be ok with firing mazzulla before the second half starts.

horford can probably coach.

marcus smart gets an offensive rebound among 3 heat players and puts it back up for a three point play to cut the lead to 12 the next possessions go:

— gabe vincent lay up
— horford air ball 3
— butler three point play
— brown lay up
— strus 3

good lord bam

folks,

bro

it'd be strange if both conference finals were sweeps

my sincerest condolences to the celtics fans otb

well what are you going to do when your opponent is …. Gave Vincent

I can’t believe what I’m seeing

again idk what else to say except that i can’t imagine the heat possibly playing better basketball than this

i am embarrassed for the city of boston

thinking back on Jordan’s extensive thoughts on the value of elite coaching the other day, for no specific reason

they need to find as many Boston fans in the audience as they can

2 all-NBA players getting cooked by a bunch of undrafted role players. love to see it

WELP

30, 31, and 32 points in the first three quarters for the heat. crazy

the celtics should keep shooting threes…

imagine if they had a coach like Brad Stevens right now

celtics are just giving up?

tatum and brown 7-40 from three for the series…

boston throwing the “educational reform” line up out there

lmaoo they put in the B-team and left Smart out there

are nba announcers contractually required to refer to payton pritchard as "pac 10 player of the year" at least once per game?

i hope so

it'd be strange if both conference finals were sweeps

this would be stellar imo. anti-prestige, pure dominance. love it.

tonight's game is absolutely hilarious. boston's stats are idiotic. it's almost like they're throwing the game. meanwhile, heat have six in double figures.

lmao you’re going to hell

feel bad for the guys who couldn’t even get into *this* game

Gabe Vincent's 29 points are the most by an undrafted player in a Conference Finals game in NBA Playoff history.

Miami now has 3 games this postseason - one against Milwaukee, two against Boston - of 50 percent shooting from three on 25+ attempts.

That's tied for second most in a single postseason run for any team in league history, trailing only the 2016 Cavaliers that did it 4 times.

wow if you were to guess beforehand which playoff team could achieve that Miami would probably be your 17th guess

are nba announcers contractually required to refer to payton pritchard as "pac 10 player of the year" at least once per game?

it hasn't been the pac-10 since 2011. ofc with usc and ucla leaving soon, it may revert, but pritchard has already exhausted his eligibility.

trailing only the 2016 Cavaliers that did it 4 times

iow, their 3-pt shooting is almost, but not quite, as big of a fluke as the 2016 cavaliers
