ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

What a finish.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible!!!

this is wild

OH MY GOD

holy shit

completely unimpeded to the rim

game seven baby thats what its all about someone please sedate me

Playoffs baby the dream is alive

holy shit White doesn't even know what to say

man I dunno if I've ever seen a more insane ending to a playoff game

lfg

Eddie House just said “shout out to all the people who lost their lives and all that” in relation to playing on Memorial Day 💀💀💀

game seven baby

I just can’t believe smart took that shot in the first place. I guess he was having the best shooting night on the team

he almost hit it, kudos to him for getting it up quick tho

yea was smart shooting by design or did he just hoist

the fact that it was close enough to bounce in and out like that had the rebound just hanging there

The Celtics' 20% 3-point shooting tonight was their worst in any game this year, regular season or playoffs (previously 21% at New York on Feb. 27).

seriously doubt that was the designed ply

look I want the Heat to win but Cs losing the series on that weird foul on Jimmy where he didn't even really have control of the ball would have really sucked

he also double dribbled lol

anyway very glad that challenge that gave jimmy an extra foul shot was be rendered a footnote

i think the refs prob would’ve gone to the monitor themselves anyway

ya true

got to be one of the most fucked up last couple of minutes of regulation game I’ve seen in some time

that challenge did put an extra 0.7 on the clock though so it did matter

game seven vibes in a game six next game game eight

pretty wild how many all-time insane sports moments the city of Boston gets to have

spoelstra saying they want to tip game seven off right now but idk doesnt seem like a good idea

chuck was clowning the celtics when they were down and its totally thrown him off his game, hes flailing now lol, he just needs to turn the page, never seen him in this state

Feels like Jimmys entire legacy is resting on this Game 7

naw jimmys certified, if he has a big game and they win thats def a feather in his cap tho

if he's the first guy to blow a 3-0 lead, it destroys his whole brand

cmon heat are the 8th seed even if they lose its a great run

yeah not saying it's fair

i mean jimmy stock is through the roof rn maybe we see a lil correction, or maybe he wins the finals and they build a statue idk

Right even if they lose by 50 they still massively overachieved but Jimmys rep is a guy who turns into Michael Jordan as soon as the playoffs start and having 4 straight bad games to blow the first 3-0 lead in history is probably gonna ruin that

he was never going to live up to that legend anyway its an unfair standard... or maybe he will

lol derrick white presser hes saying i thought i got it off but i wasnt sure overlaid with a clip of him making a very demonstrative its good gesture at the time

Derrick White asked about Celtics crunch time poise: "I don't know if poise is a great word to use for those last 4 minutes."

it’s no sweat if he can’t, not everyone can be jokic

joker doesnt have to transform into the guy in the playoffs cause hes already the guy

i mean dont get me wrong jimmy is a great regular season player too

the narrative is tiring he had an alltime series vs the bucks and hes played about at his level since

Derrick White is the 2nd player in NBA history to make a game-winning buzzer-beater when facing elimination and his team trailed prior to the shot.

The other player to do this? Michael Jordan in 1989 vs the Cavaliers.

damn

derrick white == michael jordan

sort of surprised that hasn't happened more times

buzzer beaters are pretty rare but yeah def should happened more

I immediately thought of the kawhi shot but that was a tie game
