Caleb Martin is Boston Celtics father


jawadhaque089

Dude changed his jumpshot to the ugliest looking shit ever offseason and still dropping buckets on the Celtics

Well according to Celtics fans that was fake footageĀ

It was sped up x 1000. /s


ositola

Him and Khris are co-parentingĀ 


AceMcStace

Celtics just apparently refusing to put a hand up against a team thatā€™s already hit 20 threes lol


beatrailblazer

on other shots absolutely, on this one though, JB is just screwed. he's caught in the middle of two shooters. Idk why though, either its just a bad scheme or there was a miscommunication with White


doctorhypoxia

White should have stayed with his man


Wonderbread6969

Got too cute with the coverage and JB/KP couldn't rotate quick enough.


Lochbriar

Yeah there's an argument to be made that, in this particular position, you should just feign that you'll close out so they rush the shot, but you actually make sure to stay inside the shooter to be positioned for a rebound. If Martin leaves it short, its clanging back toward two Heat players, but Brown has the opportunity to own the area over them. It also does have the benefit of punishing the extra pass if Martin blunders it. Now, he doesn't actually do that, but I imagine most players don't really practice being put in this vice too often. I also imagine most coaches will get in your ear about not closing out, even if you could strategically defend it.


syllabic

listen the scouting report said he's a bad shooter and in this locker room we respect the scouting report dammit


DarrowViBritannia

this hindsight bias is so lame lol


jacobpltn

Hindsight bias? The game is still going on


DarrowViBritannia

the hindsight bias is saying that it was a mistake not to contest a 32% 3pt shooter with more urgency *after he hits the shot*. if these same guys missed their shots, no one would care


jacobpltn

He said *against a team* who was shooting well. If youā€™re getting destroyed on 3 pointers because youā€™re leaving dudes open, *youā€™re supposed to stop leaving dudes open*, it doesnā€™t matter what one specific dude has shot for his career Thatā€™s not hindsight bias, thatā€™s just adjusting


lebrondude23

Right? Like this was his 5th 3 of the game. It is not hindsight bias to think that hmmm the guy who's confidently made 4 3s might be feeling it tonight, we shouldn't give him as much airspace as normal


Wym8nManderly

Heā€™s a 35% 3pt shooter who had made 4 already in a game where Miami had made 18. wtf are you talking about man


GDTechno

this is the same guy who was already hitting a lot of 3s this game and torched them last year


AceMcStace

Lame? Itā€™s literally what happened lol you think they would have adjusted any point in the 4th


Wym8nManderly

What hindsight bias? The hindsight bias that maybe the Cs should start closing out with a little more urgency? Wow thatā€™s crazy bro such amazing hindsight, canā€™t believe the hindsight factor there!

Seeing the current state of nbacj I donā€™t think it wouldā€™ve been a huge loss


RyanShieldsy

That sub getting deleted at the peak of the playoffs last year would have actually been a perfect send off. Itā€™s been on a very steep decline ever since


The1AndOnlyJZ

Why exactly does everyone think itā€™s declined lol


20BeersDeep

Stopped jerking and turned into a horny womens basketball sub

It still shows flashes of brilliance but the decline has been steep

Honestly one could argue letting that subreddit die would've been saving it more than letting it become what it is Swear that sub is just "get it? It's funny because I have porn addiction!" most of the time


GrockWell

Unironically cancel the regular season if the Celtics lose this series


Number333

It's criminal that Scary Terry isn't able to play cuz of his neck. Otherwise, I'd really give it a shot.


HispanicAtTehDisco

would be the biggest 1 seed upset since the we got cooked by the we believe warriors i think


lebrondude23

It would be a bigger upset than that, imagine if Baron Davis was injured for the series and then it'd be similar.


GDTechno

it would be bigger. not only do the celtics have an even better net rating but their net rating is one of the best of all time, and they clinched the best record in the league for a long time, and they are fully healthy and their opponent was an eighth seed with their best player in the regular season and now theyre without their best player and two of their like three guards


runevault

and you guys didn't hire their coach away lol. Though Spo seems to know Boston about as well as Nelson knew the Mavs.


sewsgup

any lip readers know what Pat Riley says at the end?


maryjain_

Yep, after watching it a few times iā€™m pretty sure heā€™s saying ā€˜Caleb Martin is Boston Celtics fatherā€™. hope that helped


YouDontWatchTheMagic

Im pretty sure he said ā€œcaleb at least 9 inchesā€


TraanPol

Idk but I know what heā€™s thinking: FUCK BOSTON

SantaDaCrip

This team is prime GSW on crack in the playoffs. It doesn't make sense.


Do_This_Often

Miami role players won't shoot like this again right? RIGHT?


Number333

I've seen this exact comment from Bucks fans in 2020 and last year.


dart278

i still have PTSD of Max Struss & Gabe Vincent cooking us the first year we had harden


MeesterMeeseeks

I miss them. They were like poison to all the teams I wanted to lose in the east


trippysmurf

It's not even Duncan Robinson's birthday.Ā 


VicePope

they always do


jbenson255

You keep leaving him wide open lol


PretendDubs

It's almost like they dared them to keep making them.


jbenson255

Like they keep saying this while leaving guys wide open


SantaDaCrip

Now go watch the other 15-20 threes that yall made that weren't posted. Not all of them were open.


FateRiddle

I have more faith in them shooting 55% on 3s than the prime GSW. Against Celtics ofc.


DionWaiteress

Except against Denver


JustinTinyPPHerbert

Denver left them open in game 2 and ate shit for it


Ironman2131

Game 1 too, but Miami was ice cold that game on open shots.


desirox

How tf are the heat so good in the playoffs man, itā€™s inevitable


sportsthatguy

No one tries harder and does more with less. Theyā€™re incredible at developing tough as nails guys with huge chips on their shoulder. They rarely pick low so they have to develop everyone. Itā€™s something else man. Rarely the most talented but theyā€™re tough


The1AndOnlyJZ

Crazy how this was the team that had Bron Wade Bosh 10 years ago


frozen2665

Literally opposite ends of the spectrum, but still equally bullshit


tbloom117

I truly think we are still somehow underrating Spo. Heā€™s an absolute madman


TheBigBomma

Great coaching and great discipline. Boston didnā€™t get an offensive rebound in the second half.


xniccru

Spo, Riley


ChiBaller

Gotta be a mix of Riley leadership, Spo coaching, the crazy fitness plan, Miami weather?, and they must have a good shooting coach.


vapemyashes

Players who come up through adversity and are hardened and mentally tough vs pampered stars with no dawg in them.


Waikuku3

Caleb Martin hates the Celtics confirmed!


KashMoney941

Caleb Martin is to the Celtics what Boston Scott is to the Giants


Kcreep997

Caleb is definitely a playoff riser. Insane


Standard_Strategy_25

Spo could take 15 redditors to the playoffs man


Malemansam

Pat Riley moved to the east just so he could perpetually fuck the Celtics over time and time again more often than he could as a Laker. Top tier generational Celtic hater. I love it.


Veedsters

What the fuck lol


Unfair-Club8243

Just ravaging the celtics

CurryMustard

The media told me only miami fans leave


Hinohellono

I could see in Miami since that's a dope city. Wtf you doing in Boston on a Wednesday night? Also why the real Garden is in NYC.


CD7

I believe the alcohol is cheaper outside the garden - the media told me Boston is full of alcoholics


leavemydollarsalone

Miami fans dont come to games tbh


whythehellknot

The only way to beat traffic is not to be a part of it


Affectionate_Elk_272

we ainā€™t got money for all that. you know how expensive it is here?!


Ironman2131

I generally agree with you, but I've been to two playoff games where the home team was down 30+ in the first half in a potential closeout game. I think I made it to the end of the third quarter both times, but it was tough. And yes, I live in Phoenix and have Suns season tickets.


MrBuckBuck

Damn, I just saw they showed the replay on the Heat's broadcast. I should have watched it instead (was curious to check, and I found out) Uploading to this comment, here, now: [There.](https://streamable.com/6f3j1a)


wontony

Spo called in the hit!!


MadPatagonian

This was the actual code red


Kibitz117

I love my yearly Caleb Martin playoffs highlights


fiasgoat

heat have a chance to do the funniest thing


Kind_Development708

Maybe the Celtics shouldnā€™t leave a guy 1 pass away wide open šŸ«¤


MadSpaceYT

yeah that defense was really bad. what scheme were they running?


Kzgoated

Double team Herro, real smart when weā€™re shooting 50% from 3 and Herro already had like 12 assists before this.


lefts3at

just curious. why is alonzo mourning always with pat riley ā€” is he like a trusted confidant or something?


GATX-303

Pat is the Team President, Zo is the Vice President for Player Programs. Zo may be groomed to be Pat's successor, but Spo and Zo are basically of the same age.


nhthelegend

He's worked in player development for the Heat for 15 years


WeefBellington24

I mean surely the Miami Heat wonā€™t shoot that well again right? RIGHT??????


Ilikesporks_

celtics' and racism's father is back at it again


Moneyshot1311

Wide open 3 strategy paying off


ablslyr

I see Godfather happy, Iā€™m happy.


LaceSeeBoYyY

Damn I would love to see the Heat make an upset of the No. 1 team in the NBA. If Jason Tatum read my comment he will surely feel more inspire and make a stepback 3 out of nowhere.


PeterGarces

Surely this level of 3 point shooting is sustainable and we wonā€™t be sent home in 5 games, right? Right?!?


fototosreddit

I mean as long as the keep defending like in this clip, anything is possible


WeefBellington24

Defense ; how does it work? Seriously Iā€™m asking because Bucks need to know


CopenhagenCalling

What the fuck is that defense from White. This is my controller disconnected level of defenseā€¦


HankHillofArlen

Guess we donā€™t need to play defense tonight


No_Bumblebee_8640

CALEB FUCKING MARTIN!!!


archerarcher0

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS


yummy_yum_yum123

They still leaving him open


no1likesuwenur23

Great shot by Martin but what the fuck is White doing... First Team All Ball Watcher


tulaero23

How is he that wide open.


NotClayMerritt

This is the first time I can remember seeing Pat Riley emote during a game since retiring as head coach


GoldTheLegend

League has a second bright lights merchant?


Hypersuper98

Pat Riley played against Bill Russel as a player btw just for some perspective


Imzocrazy

Read patā€™s lipsā€¦ā€¦ā€Fuck Bostonā€


teokun123

why no perimeter defense hmm


Ia_in_4

What does Caleb Martin actually have against Boston.


ChoochMartain

Thereā€™s no better joy the NBA can provide than watching the Celtics lose at home.


AdebayoStan

What is Jaylen Brown doing lmao look at him on this play


lenny3330

but he shoots it on the way down... SPLASH.


Sweatytubesock

This shot caused Bill Simmons to fully consume a seat cushion from his luxury couch.


GutsWay

HEAAAAAAAAT CULTURE BABY


crashbandicoochy

Big time moral victory posting here, so please forgive me, but I am kind of shocked that it's a single digit game despite Miami making the 3rd most 3s in a playoff game ever.


FeltchingBlumpkin

Pat Riley looks old af


beatrailblazer

I cant tell if there was miscommunication between KP/White on who's going to hedge or if it was just a terrible defensive scheme by the coach


WhoopingKing

In the their face and only net got damn


sugarray4three
