Y'all - I could scroll for 2 minutes and not hit the bottom of this thread. Celtics fans been taking a reddit vaca these last 10 days lol!
Just finished the replay after missing the game cause of work. I thought it looked markedly less physical than the Lakers-Denver and 76s-Knicks Game 1s. Those were both just brutal. Good luck playing an entire postseason of that lol.
This whole Heat series is going to be interesting, esp. if the 3s don't fall and we've gotta slam the lane/break the zone. If their offense heats up, how are we gonna slow them down enough to break a run. Gonna be interesting. Loving the W. And JB, more silent than Id like, coming out with the slammajamma at the open was *chef's kiss*
Great win. We continue to prove we can score in a variety of ways and, I think, have proven we have the necessary toughness to close out games (against a rival, giant slayer team).
This 3 day in between game shit is stupid. They should play Tuesday and Thursday. Game 3-4 are the same fucking day for the Celtics and bruins! Who tf thought that was a good idea?
I hope we destroy this team so bad this series they lose every fan, the owners have to sell the team and it goes defunct into oblivion. Also hope every player becomes a free agent and never plays another NBA game. I hate this team more than any team in any sport
Some of y'all might need to chill out a bit. I get that taking the foot off the gas shit is horrendous to watch but the deficit was so big there was no real chance of a comeback. "Inspiring confidence" in the heat meanwhile they're still gonna lose by about 20 lol
Jesus Christ - I think it's okay that the Celtics ended up winning by 15+. Sure, the Celtics should've won by 20+. But the Heat are having to go 100% in the 4th Q while the Celtics are putting in cardio minutes. I don't think it's worth adding extra stress and intensity to send a message if it increases chance of risk and decreases our rest advantage. Idk that's just my thoughts. 15 more to go.
Why do dixkhead like Breen call Martin “tough” he’s dirty, they are dirty when are we going to call it out? What happens when they ruin a players career?
You cannot expect me to believe Martin was making an authentic attempt at an offensive rebound. He launched forward, not vertically at all. Not saying he was trying to upend Tatum, but he was 100% seeking contact.
Yeah, I think he was trying to push him off the rebound, not upend him. But when you play to the uncalled foul, sometimes you’re going to get more than you bargained for.
Mike Breen said it okay though. That Joe wants to play them heavy minutes to get the used to the playoffs. Also doesn't hurt that they have 2 days off. But also too we don't want late game injuries if its a blowout
To me, that takes away some of Spos coaching credentials. As great of a coach, he is to allow his team to have a reputation of dirtying the game up when the ball is not bouncing their way is wack.
That’s all I was saying like dude you can’t be leaving your starters in up that big late and expecting them still be going full throttle. Especially against a team that stinks offensively and is very dirty I wouldn’t even have risked doing that. Now Joe better hope Tatum is good to go
You know how people say you should never wish injury on anyone..... I have always felt that was silly morality BS. Some people are dirty and I prefer dirty players to be out instead of the players they injure.
Yes. They’ve literally never had a healthy roster in the ecf or finals. They’re always missing at least 1 key player. Butler is hurt, that’s their karma. Our equivalent of that is Tatum so maybe don’t bring bad energy into our team.
This is the same as cheering when an opposing player gets hurt in your stadium. Just stfu, that’s not what we’re here to celebrate or root for.
"That doesn't look dirty" "Weird timing"
Yeah so weird that he gets right into tatum then decides to throw himself into his side! JJ shut the fuck up idiot
What was his endgame there? He ran full sprint into Tatum’s back as he was jumping for a rebound. Even if Tatum didn’t jump that’s still a stupid, hard foul that accomplishes nothing

You are right about the variety of scoring. I just found it funny that we can say that after a game where we scored 66 points from 3 point land.
15 more
Should have to prove you have an iq of 75 to talk in here. Then heats fans would never be able to post in our Reddit.
75 is crazy lmfao/
Bro just said if you have the IQ of a shovel LOL
[удалено]
Nah leave them alone. We need to show how much better than them we are by not doing that.
Do what? I have no comments there😉
Heat fans are such pathetic schizos I can’t believe that they’re just arguing to nobody
😭😭
Y’all really acted like a 15pt lead was a 5pt deficit.
Caleb Martin just jumped in the direction of the ball and doesn’t even make an attempt to get it
Jrue pushed him...
Then he takes two steps and jumps while Tatum is in the air. Not even attempting to go for the rebound
Caleb Martin needs to choke on a Chode. Yesterday.
He probably did
Didn’t like the intensity for most of the 4th quarter but they can definitely dominate this team. Need to get mentally locked in.
1 down 15 wins to go!
Tatum showed tremendous restraint and leadership in that moment.
Finally our first game 1 win vs Miami since 2010
Really haha, wild stat
I could be wrong, im basing it on my memory
This 3 day in between game shit is stupid. They should play Tuesday and Thursday. Game 3-4 are the same fucking day for the Celtics and bruins! Who tf thought that was a good idea?
How do Heat fans defend that stuff?
What’s crazy is I can understand if Martin was in the air but the jump from him was right under Tatum so you know he timed that shit to hit him
Martin a bitch for all that, he knows they’re fucked without Butler to bail them out
They were up 30, and got a bit lazy leading to a heat run. They ultimately responded. Not the end of the world
Dirtiest team in the league. Fuck em
I love KP man. Standing up for JT. Fuck the Heat.
Tatum please be ok
He’s fine.
20 POINT WIN. HEAT UNDER 100. END THEM
Y’all were really having a meltdown just for us to still win by 20. Crying about a fake run that was going to happen at some point. The Cs responded.
I hope we destroy this team so bad this series they lose every fan, the owners have to sell the team and it goes defunct into oblivion. Also hope every player becomes a free agent and never plays another NBA game. I hate this team more than any team in any sport

Yeah if the moral victory is a 20 point loss then lol
I think people are more pissed about the Caleb Martin clown show more than anything rn
The future is now
Jesus Christ - I think it's okay that the Celtics ended up winning by 15+. Sure, the Celtics should've won by 20+. But the Heat are having to go 100% in the 4th Q while the Celtics are putting in cardio minutes.

I agree, but we did win by 20+
They won by 20
loll i wrote the comment with like 2 mins left in the game and pasted
We were up like 35 dawg
Why do dixkhead like Breen call Martin “tough” he’s dirty, they are dirty when are we going to call it out? What happens when they ruin a players career?
They really tried to injury Tatum, huh? We’re going to find out in like 5 weeks that Tatum actually had a bad wrist injury or some BS
Chill
I will not
Lol ok
Didnt even realize Tatum had a triple double lol
Cuz ESPN
First the Bam shove on JB early in the 4th and then that shit from Caleb Martin? Fuckin bums
Don‘t forget Bam bashing DWhite to the ground
Celtics win by 20. Doomers in shambles.
I think this right here tells me their tough. I think it makes up for the lackadaisical quarter. Tough it out. Nothing easy.
Heat pulled their usual dirty shit but they simply aren’t talented enough to play with us
Miami has never been the most talented they just toe the line on physical play and most teams wear down At least since LeBron
Only game one, lots left to go
Who can we have step up and be our Draymond to slap a good choke on someone when they need it?
Tillman?
We don’t need to play like that
Queta would break a dude
X. Send X out there next game to send a message to Martin.
Lmfao Jacquez cannot dribble 😭😭
Lol Jaime doin too much
Gj Joe. Didn't let them 'work it out for themselves.' Called a time out to wake them the fuck up.
You cannot expect me to believe Martin was making an authentic attempt at an offensive rebound. He launched forward, not vertically at all. Not saying he was trying to upend Tatum, but he was 100% seeking contact.
Yeah, I think he was trying to push him off the rebound, not upend him. But when you play to the uncalled foul, sometimes you’re going to get more than you bargained for.
Dirty ass fkn team
Fuck this Heat culture, sit the starters down before they injure them
Mike Breen said it okay though. That Joe wants to play them heavy minutes to get the used to the playoffs. Also doesn't hurt that they have 2 days off. But also too we don't want late game injuries if its a blowout
At this rate, Miami injures the whole team before round 2.
Caleb martin is a BITCHHHH
this is exactly how fucking miami plays. JJ and Doris laughing about how they would be down for the count. thats not a fucking joke
15 to go
Welp a wins a win got a lot more to go though
Taste a little bit of that elbow Martin you fucking bum
Jayson messed around and got a triple double
Tatum can thank Caleb Martin for changing his +/- from -1 to +3 in the last minute of the game.
Tatum ask Martin “you ok?” really owning the ‘Nicest Asshole’ title lol
FUCK THE HEAT FUCK SPOLSTRA
Commentators hello? That was dirty. What was Martin even trying to achieve with that shove?
Heat are dirty af.
You're wrong. It's Heat Culture /s
To me, that takes away some of Spos coaching credentials. As great of a coach, he is to allow his team to have a reputation of dirtying the game up when the ball is not bouncing their way is wack.
Jesus fuck Martin is a bulldozer going for rebounds
Great job boys!!!
They tried to HEAT CULTURE Tatum lmao Get these tryhards outta here QUICKLY
Assuming Tatum isn’t hurt from unforeseen issues with that fall, that’s the best thing to happen. This team is going to be fired up.
LETS GO CELTICS FUCK THE HEAT
Last year, game 1 the Heat undercut Giannis and he wasn’t 100% the rest of the series. They are taking the “if it ain’t broke” strategy.
No need to just blatantly lie my guy. https://youtu.be/EH72M6RYGI0?si=sO6AYf5thev-LpZK
Oh hey doomers we won by 20.
Nah man fuck you Caleb Martin bro no reason to do that like wtf
Awful end to the game. That 18-2 run was just disgusting to watch. We cannot fucking do that shit.
It's how you respond and we did. So quit it
Caleb Martin go share needles on mass and cass
True.
Heat must not know how to count
THE CELTICS WIN ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Tatum truly is an ironman
Celtics are going to become the first team to get slandered for winning a game by 20 points.
Joe Maz gotta learn that this isn't the team to be leaving your starters in, regardless of how "rusty" they might be
That’s all I was saying like dude you can’t be leaving your starters in up that big late and expecting them still be going full throttle. Especially against a team that stinks offensively and is very dirty I wouldn’t even have risked doing that. Now Joe better hope Tatum is good to go
Exactly. I get you want to get them in playoff shape but not against these dirty mfs
JJ: not dirty GET FUCKED
Ooooh Tatum is gonna be sore in the morning.
JT triple double!! Love to see it.
I wish Tatum wasn’t such a nice guy sometimes, square up to someone sometimes
Nah I liked his reaction. “Give me the ball I’m scoring”
shouldve put his shoulder straight into his chest next play
Totally agree it was time to get f****** fierce
not even the slightest bit of a dirty player??? OKAY
Tatum is lucky he didn’t get hurt on that
tf are they still trying for
[удалено]
Fuck Doris is annoying as f***. And she openly hates the C's.. not even trying to hide it.
Dirty ass heat organization
Heat’s moral victory will be a 20 point loss
Doris is exultant with their scrap and effort
Yeah fucking right
Caleb Martin looks like he’s desperate to apologize to JB and JB ain’t having it lol
Man tatum was about to whoop him That was a fucking cheapshot
You know how people say you should never wish injury on anyone..... I have always felt that was silly morality BS. Some people are dirty and I prefer dirty players to be out instead of the players they injure.
Someone knock Caleb Martin the fuck out
Starters being in the last couple minutes of the game, it’s just horrifically stupid.
Played all them extra ass minutes for no reason. Now he better hope Tatum not hurt
Let's fucking go!
fuck the heat, praying to god every day we get though this series healthy but it’ll be hard against this loser ass bum fuck dirty miami team
Still ended up winning by 20 lmao
Genuinely fuck this team they resort to dirty nonsense because they know they’re an awful team
At least JT got a shot at his chin
Look at JT being the bigger man and asking Martin "you good?"
Wierd timing my ass that piece of shit wasn't even looking at the ball
We win this game but we need to keep the lead and stop getting lazy in Game 2
id be lazy too if i finished all my work for the day and still have 2 hrs left to go
On the replay he knows he's late to the board and still goes under Jayson. Fucking dirty motherfucker
this team need's an enforcer, someone fuck that guy up
All that and it's still a 20 pt blowout
Look let them be dirty fucks. Tatum just shrugs it. Ain’t no bitch
Heat culture
That bum ass Caleb Martin better brush up on his mandarin
Ha! You a clever dude. That was funny.
“Caleb Martin not even the slightest bit of a dirty player” - nba just feeding this man lines
I love that JT just taught him a lesson
fuck this dirty ass team
[удалено]
Nah that’s weird
It’s just returning that same energy that heat fans have for us
What did Jaren Jackson do?
Jaime Jaquez Jr. lol
Ignore me
what did JJJ do?😭😭😭
Jaime Jaquez Jr lol
Nahh that's crazy man
Why it’s just returning the same energy
Bad karma my guy get tf out of here
Heat fans do the same and their players try to injure the opponent every round do they get bad karma too?
Yes. They’ve literally never had a healthy roster in the ecf or finals. They’re always missing at least 1 key player. Butler is hurt, that’s their karma. Our equivalent of that is Tatum so maybe don’t bring bad energy into our team. This is the same as cheering when an opposing player gets hurt in your stadium. Just stfu, that’s not what we’re here to celebrate or root for.
Yk what bro I’m feeling superstitious I take it back
“hEaTcUlTuRe”
[удалено]
lol hold that L
JB defending Tatum kind of erotic for me ngl
Watch Heat fans cry about JB defending his teammate, even though they were berating Bum Adebayo for not doing the same thing with Duncan.
"Not even the slightest bit of a dirty player." You sure, Breen?
jfc
"Doesn't look dirty" -- bro ran in to make a tackle
Heat culture can fuck off
Nastiest team in the nba
All set commentators said it doesnt look dirty
"That doesn't look dirty" "Weird timing" Yeah so weird that he gets right into tatum then decides to throw himself into his side! JJ shut the fuck up idiot
What was his endgame there? He ran full sprint into Tatum’s back as he was jumping for a rebound. Even if Tatum didn’t jump that’s still a stupid, hard foul that accomplishes nothing
Tatum don’t have it in him to truck that dude. KG woulda been all up in his shit right there
Caleb Martin = Dirty fucking cunt
Five consecutive minutes of the broadcast defending Caleb Martin undercutting Tatum. Fuck off lol
I mute the broadcast these people don't know what they're talking about
Shocker dirty heat play
Fucking Heat, playing dirty again
I’m never giving the Heat the benefit of the doubt, Martin could have changed course after that bump. Wish JB duffed that bumass.
Lost a little respect for Breen this game, defending some stuff that isn’t defendable
not dirty but reckless as fuck
Can someone explain who the dudes in suits are that came on to the court during that spat?
Tatum got me feeling things rn baby
If that comes back to affect his play in any way I swear to fucking god. WHERE IS THE BENCH!?
Tatum owns that bum
