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

The finals are going to be amazing

averted the Lakers/Celtics Finals in the most hilarious way

I just can’t understand what Miami is doing this doesn’t happen. Teams are who we thought they were like 99% of the time. The whole team is playing A+ hoops.

Does jaylen want to be traded?

the clip of jaylen’s presser was tough to watch. he seemed very sad

Passing to Tatum was risky there. When the pick didn't work to get Tatum free he pointed at Brown clearly telling him to shoot it. He did, but it missed. The defender slipping the pick busted the play. If you could call it a play.

Jaylen Brown is biting his tongue from telling his truth. You can tell he has a lot on his mind. There's some real issues in that locker room. #Celtics #Heat

it’s true the israelis were black

damn, magic with the absolute sledgehammer

In my 44 years of being associated with the NBA I never thought I’d see a Boston Celtics team, a franchise with 17 Championships, quit. I know Celtics fans all over the world must be disgusted and devastated. The Miami Heat blew them out 128-102 in Game 3.

god i am so glad these games are on too late for me to watch

congrats to jordan and all those who celebrate

i also did not watch the game lol this heat run is completely insane if they win the chip it will have to be the craziest thing that has ever happened in the nba and maybe even the world

Joe Mazzulla didn't tell Tatum he loved him enough this game :(

would be funny if both conf finals were a sweep and then the finals were a sweep kinda want this to happen just to see how people would react

we'll all wear little brooms around our necks to the dustpan on sundays

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

idk man many of these shots are honkingly wide open

le batard is in his bag lol

Pat Riley is one win away from his 19th appearance in an NBA Finals as a player, coach or executive. Nineteen! That will mean Riley has either played in, coached in or been his team's top decision maker in 24.7 percent of ALL THE FINALS in NBA history!

lol gordons reaction

A pass that is predominantly pushed w/the right hand but also has guidance from the left hand ends up going “straight”..must be some kind of phenomenon

The guide hand while shooting can do the same thing: help guide when it’s needed most (right at release)@bballbreakdown pic.twitter.com/ZuPzNJCobV
