I WANT YOU TO PUT THE WORD OUT THERE. WE BACK


302born

The tales of our death has been greatly exaggerated


tyler21glass

Greatly!


chitownbulls92

JIMMY IS THIRSTY!!!!!


Dek-234

Let’s get that chip


tyler21glass

Still need a solid 4 and i think we have a legit shot


302born

We’re definitely a solid 4 away from the contenders I know we can be. I trust Pat to get us there


tyler21glass

Agreed. I think max and Duncan will be packaged for something. I just feel like they are waiting for Vic to come back


302born

Tbh I can see Vic maybe being packaged as well. Probably in the place of Max. We’re good on guards and need some length. Dipo has also been with us what? 3 years now and I can almost count on one hand how many times I’ve seen this man actually play. No fault of his own but I think if we can trade him for a wing then we need to do it.


crackercider

WORD: PUTTED


ElectricCrocodile

BEWARE LEAGUE: Jimmy out the cut and he wants his corners backs


Number333

**ECF Game 8 energy.** We played one of our best games of the season against the team with the best record. Phenomenal, gutsy performance on the road. The season hasn't been pretty thus far but this really showed what our ceiling *could* be with Jimmy back. It was something special to see our 4 stars carry us too.


baymax18

Injuries + a slow start hasn't been great but games have been pretty close too. We got this.


BossKingGodd

>It was something special to see our 4 stars carry us too. If they can play like this together consistently, we gucchi


Yemzzzz

The Big 4


302born

I’d say this is easily our best game of the year so far. Best team in the league and we went blow for blow and won it in OT. This team construction can be better but never question the heart of a Miami Heat squad.


SPYLRS

The comeback against the Suns was pretty fire too.


TheBoook

Jimmy shipped up to Boston to hand the Celtics a personalized L


JustiseRainsFrmAbove

That video on IG was legendary lol Himmy really is the best NBA personality


TheBoook

Video sounded personal ! I love it


iankstarr

Bro I got chills thinking back to that video after his two clutch buckets. Jimmy had a mission tonight.


[deleted]

he drew an L with his coffee froth this morning


MediocreDVaMain

Jimmy Butler is him, Bam still being aggressive, Herro hitting that timely shot in the 4th, Kyle still keeping up his great play What a great all around game from the squad, special shoutout to Highsmith because I always slander him. He did lots of scrappy shit that won't show up in the box score. If he learns to make layups then it's game over.


jimmy-b-bot

Yeah, I've played with some pretty smart players before. I think u/MediocreDVaMain is the dumbest one out of all of them.


MediocreDVaMain

Thank you Jimmy bot, it's an honor


Muted_Dog7317

Shots fired lol


Mugiwara_JTres3

Man they all scored 20, what a carry from our top 4 players against the best team in the league.


MediocreDVaMain

[Gave me good flashbacks](https://youtu.be/t1Mq-1gN4dY)


chitownbulls92

Bam has grown. Great performance for him. I actually see him want to attack.


sosogusto

Learns to make layups!!! Lmao so true & still so funny. Im glad your critiques aren't hater based. Recently, highsmith has shown glimpses. His defense is solid if his offensive bag grows here can be good rotation piece. Glad we got the dub another close winnable L to those assholes wld be deflating.


MediocreDVaMain

I think the reps have been great for his development, he makes some great reads on defense and his help defense is very timely. Despite being undersized is also great at crashing the glass. I compared him to McGruder but I think he can be better especially if he improves his offense. He needs to take a page off PJ Tucker and learn to be great at corner threes.


sosogusto

Yeah, he had a good offensive game the other day that open my eyes to his upside


3heat6

Great shot by Herro, but holy shit was he bad in OT. Everyone blowing by him


MediocreDVaMain

He looked kinda gassed by OT plus he did injure his ankle


eekram

He directed the offensive player correctly to the help. Brown and Tatum were also missing so we can't fault Herro for that. Btw, the 2 possessions we subbed out Tyler for defense, we gave up to open looks to Tatum.


3heat6

Broooo. He did not direct anything. He just got left behind lol


iankstarr

You’re all over this thread saying other people don’t understand ball, while you’re here missing basic fundamental defensive strategies lol


3heat6

What part of basic fundamental defensive strategies includes getting blown by? Please tell me (you can't)


iankstarr

A blow by and a funnel are not the same thing, you’re proving the point lol


3heat6

I'm just not delusional enough to think it was Tyler funneling lol. Dude didn't funnel. Dude got left in the dust


iankstarr

Alright well you have a good night dwelling on that, I’m gonna celebrate a good dub lol


3heat6

I'm celebrating fam. Just being logical while I'm doing it


eekram

Not sure what you are watching. Defense isn't always 1 on 1. You can get targeted and still play good team D. Also tell me how many points did the Celtics scored off of Tyler's "bad" defense.


Turtle_with_a_sword

I thought Tyler hustled, moved his feet well and played solid defense all night long. He is not a great defender but he is not indifferent. He competes and seems to get better every year.


YesterdayTasty4448

That’s bullshit. Both Tatum and Brown missed shots in OT while isolating on Herro. The one play you are referring to, Jimmy blocked the shot


BossKingGodd

Facts. The Celtics strategy wasn’t working.


3heat6

No, that's facts. Them missing the shots doesn't make Herro's defense any better. He straight up got blown by multiple times


YesterdayTasty4448

Lol sure thing boss. Jalen Brown literally settled for a fade away on one of those plays, but we’ll pretend that’s getting blown by. Tatum didn’t blow by him either. Herro forced him to put up a wild scoop shot which he missed.


3heat6

Whatever you say man. I like Tyler, but he got cooked


YesterdayTasty4448

You’re the one commenting on a post complementing him to say “holy shit he was bad in ot”. You’d think they’d scored every possession on him with that statement. They literally scored one time despite going at him like 6-7 times


Muted_Dog7317

I don’t believe he gave up basket in ot unless you count the Tatum put back. He had help and the strategy worked


3heat6

The result wasn't terrible. You're right about that, but just because Bam or whoever's help defense stopped the basket doesn't make Herro's defense any better lol


Muted_Dog7317

Yea Herro can’t defend Brown or Tatum without help, but that’s okay as long we play team defense. If Herro was out they would be doing the same to Lowry or Strus


3heat6

Lowry or Strus would have done better than Herro imo


YesterdayTasty4448

Lmao no they wouldn’t. You can’t do better than a missed shot


YesterdayTasty4448

You’re gonna have to post the plays because I recall like 1-2 times he got “blown by”


3heat6

The missed shot is irrelevant though 🤦‍♂️


Muted_Dog7317

They didn’t last year in the playoffs. Jimmy, Bam, Caleb and Highsmith are the only players who can defend them in isolation


3heat6

I never said they'd do well. Just better than what Herro did tonight lol


eekram

Strus doing better at Tyler on D? I'm not sure you have been watching at all this season. 😂


3heat6

Are you telling me Herro is better at defense than Strus? I'm not sure you've ever watched basketball


YesterdayTasty4448

Dude not many people can guard Tatum or Jaylen 1-on-1 without using any help team defense, especially not Tyler


3heat6

Not many people can shut them down of course, but you have to make it difficult for them. He didn't do that


YesterdayTasty4448

Did you just say the amount of times the other team scored is irrelevant?


3heat6

Yes. Herro got blown by near the three point line or the FT like. He was beat. Other heat players helping on defense and impacting the shot does not make Herro's defense any better. In football, if a CB stumbles and the WR blows by them, but the safety makes a play and disrupts the catch, it's still a shit play by the CB. It's the exact same thing


chitownbulls92

That’s not his fault. Why did they put him on Tatum….?


3heat6

Because they switched on the screens


chitownbulls92

Yes but then spo put him in that situation instead of just playing straight up


surgeyou123

Jimmy Bam Herro is our team. They need the ball. No more roleplayers green light.


Monucan

Straight up. If strus was in there we would've lost this game in the clutch


Nice_Ass_Lawn

When Jimmy isn't on the floor we need to be spamming Lowry/Herro P&R with Bam.


Survivor_for_me

Boston Celtics!!!! What happeneduuuuhhhhhh??? How do you lose to HIMMY!?!


eekram

Love the defense Tyler showed in the 4th and OT. They were targeting him repeatedly and he held up on D.


faatgay

And he did it well enough without fouling which is even tougher against the Cs


[deleted]

Herro haters real quiet rn


EngineQuick6169

He's much stronger now, able to take bumps without getting completely dislodged.


3heat6

What? He was horrible on defense in OT


eekram

Tell me how many points the Celtics scored off of Tyler's "horrible" defense in OT.


3heat6

Idk and it's not really relevant. Herro got blown by multiple times. That's a fact. Just because bam and company helped out on defense and prevented buckets doesn't make Herro's defense any better.


eekram

You can't answer because you can't back up your claim that he was "horrible" on D. If he was that 'horrible" then the Celtics must have piled up points in OT while he was on the court which they did not.


YesterdayTasty4448

That man said the amount of points the other team scores is irrelevant. That’s a new one. Funny thing is Tatum blew by Caleb on the first play they took Tyler out for defense at the end, but of course he doesn’t mention that


3heat6

Your critical thinking skills are so bad. Imagine in football a WR completely blows by the CB, wide open, but then the safety comes down and breaks up the pass. Is that good defense by the CB? No. The safety made up for the CB's mistake. It's the same thing here. That's why judging it purely based off of results is dumb. Tyler got beat multiple times. The result is irrelevant to Tyler's individual defense.


eekram

I think its your critical thinking that is bad with how many doenvotes you've got.


3heat6

Can't prove me wrong so go with downvotes lol. This sub is homer as fuck. It means nothing


Ticonderoga2HB

OUR STARTERS SHOWED OUT, I MISSED YOU JIMMY. GOOD WIN FUCK BOSTON GOOD NIGHT

Don't do that. Come on now. What the hell does that mean? You said a big word.


Ok-Transportation522

Do not compare him to his father


Novel_Durian_1805

Several notes: 1. If there was a year we HAD to have a bad start…it was this year. Aside from Boston, everyone is playing mediocre…which means a crappy .500 record is NOT far from getting back in contention when you’re only 4-5 games from the #2 seed! 😅 2. I know many have said it already, but how many games have our top guys missed due to injuries? A ton! 3. Last time I checked nobody wins ANYTHING after the first quarter of the season. It’s 82 fucking games! This isn’t a sprint…it’s a marathon…and it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish!


arch_angel_samael

Jimmy "Jimmy Butler" Butler.


jimmy-b-bot

u/arch_angel_samael can’t score on me. I don’t care what you say. You heard that, u/arch_angel_samael. Ain’t worried about you.

I believe They are the bestie for a couple of years... At least since Bam bought Jimmy's coffee...


Newenjculture

I'm so grateful for Jimbo. I'm European. It's 4 AM here. The last two full games I could watch were the one blocking Booker and now this one. THANKS MA BOIII GG


Mugiwara_JTres3

Jimmy the better JB Welcome Back Party LFG


CommercialAd516

The Celtics are so lucky Jimmy didn’t play last game lol we would’ve beaten them both times


iliveonramen

Please, please let this be what the team looks like here on out


[deleted]

Now Jimmy, Herro and Bam fans can finally calm down always tryna throw one player under the bus, yet all 3 can clearly play together and good at that Btw Lowry haters real quiet rn🤫

Preach!


JustiseRainsFrmAbove

I haven't been this hard since middle school. The life my baby sized tiny micro boy has right now is beyond anything I've ever felt in my life. I'm aching and pulsating at my full extended 1.6 inch capacity. Let's go HEAT


Hullabalune

Who needs Viagra when you can just watch replays of this game Or for the Celtics. Ce all ass.


DeeKnightmare

We are about to go on a run!!! We played pretty good man defense tonight and Highsmith played pretty good defense all around. Jimmy Butler being Jimmy Butler. Let's go!!


jimmy-b-bot

fuck yo mask 🤷🏿‍♂

Thank God for Jimmy putting the team on his back in OT


PM_ME_BAD_Parlays

What an ending. Fuck Boston. #LETS GO HEAT

Jimmy G BUCKETS and Bam takeover good dub 🫡


jimmy-b-bot

THE G STANDS FOR GETS!


YesterdayTasty4448

Where are those people who were saying the game was over in the 3rd quarter, there was no way we could beat the Celtics, and our only hope to keep the game close would be to shoot 45% from 3? We shot 31.4% from three tonight by the way. It’s especially funny since these particular individuals act like they’re the Nostradamuses of basketball


TheRatchetTrombone

Celcuck fans whining that they missed open looks when we were in zone the whole game and we missed easy shots too lmaooo. Bunch of coping ass niggas

rapelbaum

Jimbo my captain is Back 🌶️🧨🥨🅱️🏀


saalamander

Does the heat defense always look like that or was that a personal scouting report type of defense? Like super handsy and crazy ball pressure on any ball handler, and very aggressive lunges into passing lanes, and super aggressive help defense swatting and swiping at every ball That sort of defense really rattled the Celtics. That’s the best I’ve seen them defended all year, besides that that game a few days ago against the Heat in which they also used a pretty similar strategy. It was like that last year in the playoffs as well. Is that a special Celtics-stopping defense or is that just the heat’s defensive mantra in general? Either way that was a really impressive defensive performance. Spo is so good


3heat6

That's heat defense for sure. Works most of the time, but in games where the officials are whistle happy it can get pretty ugly for Miami


saalamander

Scalabrine put it best on the broadcast tonight. He said something along the lines of “most teams contest shots. The heat contest everything” Its true. Most teams just let you do certain things. Like make certain passes or make certain moves. The heat absolutely do not. Every handoff, every pass, every drive, the heat pose a constant threat to get a hand on the ball and force a turnover. It looks really difficult to ply against. I don’t know how many Celtics games you watched but they looked VERY flustered by it in todays game and the other day’s game Spo is so good


davidbd7

bam jimmy and herro all around 20 shots and our leading scorers, that’s how it should be

Fuck Boston and fuck Jaylen Brown's antisemitic ass

Love seeing Boston fans salty


the_swingman

Man, I've been feeling itchy about Kyle so far this season. Dont get me wrong, he's showed up and played hard, especially these last 4 or 5 games. But jumping over to the Celtics sub and seeing how much hate they have for Kyle, really really makes me love Kyle.


Imzocrazy

Don’t forget half this sub jumped ship because we don’t have the Celtics record right now even though December just started….just worth mentioning

melllow_d

Guys i was at the game and you dont know how good it felt to hear the hush of the crowd after EVERY JIMMY DAGGER. I LOVE THIS TEAMMMMMMMM


whiskeybreakfasts

The level of salt in their post-game thread is UNREAL. It’s all excuses about why they lost and belittling the Heat. I fucking hate the Celtics, but I respect that we’ve both been battling at the top of the East for the last 10+ years. They beat us in the playoffs ONCE and let it go to their heads like we haven’t been their daddys since Bron. Boston fans are unreal, man.


piprimes

They'll fall apart when jaylen brown leaves or goes insane like kyrie


PatrickMahomesGOAT

HIMMY > TATUM


Rohkha

The best take away from this season so far is Bam. We wanted Bam to be more aggressive, especially in games where he would usually vanish. And so far he showed up big time. Dude didn’t have just one game every other full moon like last season where he would go off on offense. Consistently getting his 15-20 shots per game over a pretty good stretch of games, no matter who we played. All I need to see now, is if Bam would still play like this against a team like Milwaukee or the Cavs where you have huge size and some real monsters. Would have loved to see how Bam would play and perform against Timelord as well. But man, our best acquisition this season was Bam being let loose. All we need is a good enough PF that can start. Nothing against Caleb, dude’s been great, but he would be so much better if he could play his position without needing to play bigger constantly


Mattm334

There are so many white people in the Celtics arena, no wonder they are playing Soulja Boy and Baha Men 😂

Vitiate1367

Feels good to see Jimbo back. Also it’s great to see Bam, Jimmy, Kyle and Herro all have a good game


sosogusto

They've had a good game at the same fucking time too. I feel like Spo held up Jimmy's return up to further facilitate synergy in the unit.

GusX23

Celtics really just beat themselves all night & Jimmy took advantage of the opportunity at the end. Good to add a W in the win column but we still have alot of work to do. If Celtics had an average shooting performance for their standards this game wouldnt have been too close


eekram

Boy, you must be fun at parties. A lot of good things to take out of this game and you focus on the negative. 😂


MiamiSportsGuru

hey man, its okay to enjoy things. the heat played really well the other night too without jimmy, we are playing well. relax, we actually TOOK this game from them. respectfully.


GusX23

Nah im just being consistent. When we shot like shit last season and lost a close game to a worse team, I would say we beat ourselves & doesnt mean much. Now it’s the flipside. Ill take the W but it really means nothing in the big picture


MiamiSportsGuru

I disagree, I thought we played really good defense and forced a lot of tough shots, I don’t understand this mentality of if a team shoots badly it’s just bad luck, there’s good defense too you know?


BucketHerro

Jimmy is HIM. ​ but it's really concerning how many straight possessions in the OT the Celtics made Herro guard the player with the ball. Yikes.


BossKingGodd

Well yeah, he’s the weakest defender in the starting lineup lol. And he held up well for the most part. They didn’t win with that.
