1. Here before the Duncan Robinson v Jaylen Brown rivalry Netflix special in 20 years

2. 3-0 against the Heat this year. [Wins are wins](https://tenor.com/view/winning-vin-fast-and-furious-winning-is-winning-gif-15880267)

3. Hope Terry is ok

4. the next 2 months are filler before the most cursed round 1 series of all time

5. I will never stop being annoyed by Miami laying on dudes on the perimeter, reaching on every drive, Bam never setting a legal screen in his life, and then the entire team being completely bewildered whenever they’re actually called for a foul.

6. What an uneventful game.

   Edit: okay I should have added /s that’s on me

7. These teams fucking hate each other and I’m all for it.

8. One of these days Jaylen will get over this Heat mental block. Hopefully

9. top o the morning, etc etc

10. That was my Super Bowl

11. This felt like a playoff game after that scuffle

12. Couldn’t imagine having “let’s go” chants for the opposing team in your own arena, as well as “mvp” chants for the opposing teams player. Yikes🤣

13. Least Physical BOS-MIA game

14. Duncan Robinson can’t defend, so he just fouls the shit out of whoever he’s guarding. Tatum not getting free throws until he got intentionally fouled is crazy.

15. Stressful game

    Fun game though, point Tatum did his thang this

16. Jayson Tatum is fucking incredible. Almost a triple double and played superb defense

17. Playoff level toxic game thread. I love it

18. We survived a Jaylen CTE game

19. High chance this game was more entertaining than the super bowl

20. Tatum got disrespected the entire game with the whistle. This is why he shoots pull-up threes because he doesn’t get any fucking calls.

21. I hate playing the heat

22. ECF preview

23. Tatum only got 2 free throws. Worst superstar whistle in the league.

24. Our season is probably fucked with 2/3 of our guards missing extended time at this late stage of the season and with our seeding being where it is. And if Caleb needs to miss time too after that ankle roll he stayed in with then we’re fully fucked.

25. Certainly this will be filled with good conversation and not be toxic at all

26. That dumb foul from Martin that might have cost us the game. Down 2 and we miss a 3 hurts, but putting Porzingis on the line on a dumb reach rather than playing defense just ended the game right there. Momentum was swinging our way and our defense was locked in but after that the Heat looked rushed and just wanted a quick shot.

27. These Heat x Celtics threads are always 🍿

28. can Mazzulla run a 2 man game with Tatum and porzings in the clutch for once?

29. Nothing quite brings a smile to my face like looking at those cringe heat culture jerseys and court as ‘let’s go Celtics’ chants rain down from the rafters after a Cs win in Miami

30. Best rivalry in the NBA and it’s not even close

31. Heat gets away with a lot of handchecks. No way Tatum got no free throws until an intentional foul at the end. 

32. Loved hearing the Let’s Go Celtics chants- heat fans are pathetic

33. Tatum played incredible defense last quarter

34. Always a relief to finish a game vs Miami with no major injuries.

35. Jrue only hit 3s that’s buck

36. It sure was nice of Herro to shove Porzingis closer to the ball after the missed three by Brown

37. It’s funny how you got a ton of comments from heat and Celtics fans that are being friendly and talking about the playoffs and then you got even more Celtics and heat fans going at eachothers throats

38. The thing I hate the most after these games is dealing with the fans who post on here and twitter, otherwise I’d be chillin.

39. Every single time we play the Heat the refs forget they have whistles. Its entertaining I get it but come on I don’t think Bam set a single legal screen the entire game and they were hacking away on every single drive. They were letting us get away with a lot too in fairness but that game should not have been close at the end just from Tatum free throws alone

40. f u ck the he at
