That shot will be remembered throughout the history of the NBA.
ماتش نار
One of the greatest clutch plays I've ever seen!
2.1 biglang 3.0
KWAB
When people tell me they still play D in the NBA I'll think about that play at 1:06 and see that Celtic casually run back on d in a big playoff game.
4:40 (notice bottom left) wow I guess the Celtics like losing
That reminds me of a play by Larry Bird; I can't place it, but Bird burned somebody.
I can’t wait for game 7. Imagine the viewership for that game
yeah good for him, white was having a bad hair day anyway!!! but Mr. Jummy had a really bad day????? And you know how them millionaires are … they usually have a good day after the bad one….BUT i think the celtics can beat the nuggets???? But the heat matches them better?????
Should've been 2.9 when butler gets fouled 🤦♂️🤦♀️ sorry heat fans. OUCH. WOW
On two plays Butler shouldve been called for a foul
2:35 was one of the most pointless 3's I've ever seen
WOW
It’s so rigged it’s not even funny. Look at the clock when he gets fouled. 2.1 seconds. They put 3 on the clock and Boston scores with .1 left? 🤣🤣🤣 if people actually think that this is legit I don’t know what to tell you.
How they added to time 0.9 sec???? When Boston fouls on Jimmy the time was stopped at 2.1 sec! When he went to the line the time is 3.0!!!! How can this happen????? That 0.9 added seconds was enough for Boston to win the game by tipping!!!
Unbelievable. Game 7 could either be historic for the greatest comeback or greatest upset? Which one, we shall see.
Awakenbeerus is amazing! He accurately predicted the outcome of every sports match I asked him about!
3:42 White Hot 2023 Playoffs 🔥
– Miami Heat
So rigged
incredible come back for celtics…
The rigged wwe nba shit continues
Clock went from 2.1 – 3.0 heat should’ve won. Rigged game
the momentum is now on Celtics, they have a higher chance of winning the ECF! may the best team win ~ #gswfan
Great NBA officals for adjusting the clock without any explaination at all. NBA is rigged. Tsk.
.9 secs did the trick..
if only that two potential 3's on Duncan Robinson have went in. Miami could have Win. 💔
Watched the game live at my local bar and am still in shocked. Best game of the playoffs so far. I hope todays game can at least match it. I'm very interested to see how Miami responds to such a heart crushing loss.
Jimmy fouled 2.1 sec then when free throw coming back to 3.0 sec how come.?
Wow! Just wow! Just crazy how after dropping the first 3 games the Celtics still managed to make this go to a game 7!
👏💪👑❤️🔥
NBA really sucks, releasing their last 2 minutes report, and saying every calls and adjustments in the dying seconds were correct. 1st of all how was that not a double dribble, and most of all where are they looking at to say that the contact came with exactly 3 seconds left, when it is as clear as distilled water that there were no any contacts made until 2.8 seconds mark. NBA is so fucking rigged.

Boston fans: remember what Curry did to the Celtics in game 4 last year? 😂 That is what Murray and Jokic are gonna do to the Celtics in the finals (if they make it).
Even if Boston does the impossible and completes the reverse sweep, they are not beating Denver. Think about it: took them 6 games to beat ATLANTA HAWKS 😂, 7 games to beat the Sixers, and 7 games to (potentially) beat the 8 seed Heat. That would be a record of 12-8. Denver is 12-3, and has played much tougher opponents. The numbers just don't support the Celtics winning this series. 😂
As someone who bleeds green…….this is the best play by a Celtic since when Bird stole the inbound pass against Detroit. I never thought I’d see another play I’d put in the same sentence.
