Derrick white and marcus smart saved this bum carrier
Derrick White was the hero in this game
He was ass why does he have his own highlights video LMAO
shot shouldn't have even counted broo
What ever happens in game 7, it's obvious the C's are so better team
White saved Tatum's legacy. He was a no show in the 2nd half.
Tatum disappeared and bricked a lot of 3's in 2nd half. Thanks to D.White saving the Celtics.
Ngl I wanted Jimmy to get his first ring but I have dreamed ALL MY LIFE to see a 0-3 comeback in the NBA! Anyways, it doesn’t matter if Heat or Celtics gets to the finals, any of them are gonna get destroyed and swept by the Nuggets.
Lotta celtics haters in the comments
Butler Video Poinst ?????????
Ghost Tatum leaving us in the second half and thank you white for being clutch
Absolutely cooked jimmy in the first half, joe needs to make sure tatum keeps attacking though because he didnt even have a shot attempt in the 3rd quater which cooled him off
The Heat shot 30% from two point range over the course of the game—Ouch!
Tatum is good but he never gets anything done in the clutch. (From a Celtics Fan)

Imagine losing a 3-0 lead
I love how they showcase Tatum, who was virtually invisible when it counted and was bailed out with some phantom fouls.
Tatum is +3 in game 6. Give him some credit, NBA fans.
mvp
Damn nba if you’re gonna post Tatum at least post brown damn smh
The Miami Heat will be on the wrong end of NBA history soon
Tatum is one of my favourites, great game! ❤
They gave Jason Tatum a phantom rebound!!!! Blew up my ticket!!! That's some bull####
Butler cant guard tatum one on one..thats the fact😂
8-22 0-8 from 3 overrated
Defense plus rebounding plus passing. All you people see are 3 point shots. It’s so many other things you need to do to win not just shoot 3s. What did jimmy do against JT ? Y’all keep talking about 3s
Jason Tatum cooked everybody. Period. That's what I call road rage. Straight road rage!!!
Its actually surprising if Tatum makes a 3
