I always root for the funny outcome (if the funny outcome doesn't involve the lakers winning), and the heat winning this series would be, indeed, the funny outcome
The Heat would become the first team in nba history to have two separate 8th seed seasons where they knocked out the 1 seed in round 1 and the first to do it in back to back seasons, both seasons missing one of their three best players for basically the whole series, and both against the favorite to come out of the east pretty much unanimously, so yes, as a Heat fan it would be absolutely hilarious to see it happen
While I agree with you... The issue with the Heat game is that people do not understand when I say their shooting is an anomaly. Throughout the game, it was clear the Cs were playing the drive and kick - emphasis on the drive. They also played awful on D regarding the shooter, but the shooting for Miami is anomalous. They have realized that Boston will let them shoot open shots from deep because of the nature of the 3, but even with the 4 games of above 50% (in their last 8 against Boston) it is always anomalous. They have just as many, if not more, games where they shoot like 8-32 (a real shooting stat from them) than they do going 50+. As a team on offense, the Cs were actually average, though you want KP and Pritchard to step up. Just a wild anomaly this season in G2. Now we wait for the rest of the games.
@@EmmanuelAniTheSchismthe problem is playing like this has resulted in them losing more then winning sometimes you gotta play the reality not the stats
@@princemwamba5230 That's a fair point, but allow me to rebut with the recent game: the Celtics shot worse than the Miami heat from deep. Yes, they played some semblance of three-point defense today, but from what I could tell early on the Miami heat had some open looks and missed
As a Celtics fan I literally couldn’t even be mad at the heat I’m like they are wide fucking open. Celtics just didn’t play defense it was embarrassing. Wouldn’t expect that again though
@@DJJ616 Like rusty said, they have to play better at the three, but at the same time I have seen the Heat go 8-32 and lose when the same Defense was applied to them. Hoping this was the wakeup they need to put feet to necks
And the stupid ass strus 3 callback after 5 minutes and it was the wrong call anyways. Fucking horrible refs. Miami and jimmy could’ve had a ring but refs ruined it. That’s the most rigged play of all time.
I would be surprised if the Heat pulled off an upset this series without Jimmy and Rozier. But if those two were healthy, I'd have had the Heat winning. I know, the Celtics and talent and regular season record. But the Heat have been the consistently better team for years. And the Celtics have shown a remarkable inability to deal with adversity (outside of White and, this particular game, Jaylen). Still, no Jimmy, no Rozier, and it's just about time for Tatum or Porzingis to play poised and intelligently.
@@paratame105 True. I'm gonna root for the Celtics this time though bc I feel bad for 'em. They looked so deflated when they went down 0-3 last year to the Heat. I think they buy into the hype that they should be better, but the reality is that on the court in a 7 game series, the Heat have been the best team in the East so far this decade.
Awesome to see OKC look so good especially since they basically have little to no playoff experience, that’s usually the biggest knock on young teams so they will definitely cause problems and make a lot of noise
‘15 hawks def up there but at the end of the day they lost to Bron felt like Cavs were expected to win that series. I mean they did get swept which is worse. But idk that suns team tho losing to Luka in a game 7 at home in front of your fans in such embarrassing fashion tho I think that takes the cake for me
I barely care if we get busted in the second round if we beat the Celtics, I will be genuinely giddy every day for a week. Gonna emphatically shake the hands of every person I meet and skip to work whistling a whimsical tune. That typa shit.
Hot take: heat culture = the power of friendship, you can never count Miami out, even if Boston takes the series not sweeping the hobbled 8th seed as a 60+ win first seed is embarrassing and Miami is ahead in the rivalry right now
Pelicans problem is without Zion we have very little ability to penetrate thru perimiter defense and attack the rack. Thats ok if youre going to commit to playing slowly thru BI who is an incredible player when we play slow, but instead we tried to play fast and we actively avoided BI, like idk why he didnt get the ball more
I’m a Celtics fan, and I don’t think there’s a more frustrating team to be a fan of for at least the last half decade 🤦🏽♂️. They’re always good but manage to lose to less talent. And I truly think ime would’ve gotten em there if they didn’t fuckin fire him
Had to pause the video when you said “Porzingis played like absolute dogshit in this one dude.” 😂 you sounded just like my friends when they get heated at players ruining their parlays. Excellent video Rusty 🏀
They’re like this because as good as he is Tatum doesn’t know how to solidify himself as the number 1 guy in these types of games. Ppl forget even last year in the post season tatum played good in 1 qtr against the sixers in game six (4th qtr) and game 7 of the same series (50 bomb) and played meh for all the other games. He needs to learn that when all things are going wrong and the team can’t make a shot he’s got take the ball and say I got us that’s what the All time greats have done
Hero ball is inefficient basketball, sure Tatum should be more of a leader but trying to iso his way to a victory i. the fourth is just dumb, just try and get good offense goin and get you and your guys hot, that is what an actual leader should do
@@paratame105 Yeah but it is what most people expect from him when they say shit like this, his lack of accountability in big moments is a big problem, but most guys just say he should ask for the ball more and put up more shots in the 4th, which just isn't efficient winning basketball
Lack of a clear offensive system. What do the Celtics actually _do_ except be individually more talented than their competition and play lock-down defense? They have a library of decent sets for guys that they can get into, but it's more of an opportunistic checklist than it is a system... And that can work great, but not against Spo. It's why primary creators are so important. You need someone who can consistently force an opportunity. Celtics don't have one.
Jrue holiday has some of the absolute worst off ball defense over ever seen. The Celtics lost bc of coaching. They have no idea to defend screens which is what lead to so many open 3s. And thats coaching.
As the Celtics band, I’m going to be optimistic and say that it was just a fluke shooting night for Miami, but man, I don’t know why Joe Mazulla played Porzingis as long as he did. Everyone outside of Tatum and Brown stunk, but he did especially
I told everybody - before the playoffs started - if Miami and Boston matchup, I'm taking Miami. The Jimmy injury gave me pause but I have no faith in Boston 🤷♂️
this was painful to watch as a cs fan lol fair play to the heat but we wasn't out of the game until the last 5 minutes and the ball we was playing was nearly antithetical to winning the game just slow no motion basketball hunting matchups for inconsistent 2s just for the heat to hit VERY consistent 3s
I agree with you about the Celtics take. You forgot to mention the bench dirty show up. Tatum went cold 2nd half Jrue Holiday had way to many turnovers we were to soft Miami punked us. We gave up to many wide open 3s no defense at all . White was solid but he wasn’t good enough he didn’t play good defense the whole game Joe made 0 adjustments wants so hard run a team off the 3pt line
The issue with the Heat game is that people do not understand when I say their shooting is an anomaly. Throughout the game, it was clear the Cs were playing the drive and kick - emphasis on the drive. They also played awful on D regarding the shooter, but the shooting for Miami is anomalous.

Seems like he only covers the celtics when they lose, yet they win way more than they lose. Literally blew them out the rest of the series, where is the video focusing on that?
@@blondbuddy exactly dog. He also has this hate piece on the 08 Celtics where he thinks they are one of the most overrated teams of all time so I just assume he’s one of those guys that doesn’t like the Celtics
pacers beating the bucks wouldn't really be a big deal, though, at least logically. the teams' records weren't far apart to begin with, the bucks' best player is out with an injury, and doc is their coach. (by "not a big deal" i mean it shouldn't even really be surprising to fans. I'm sure the bucks will have a reeeeeeally rough off-season though....)
a storied franchise, but the last championship was 2008 (16 years ago! it could drive now if it were a person! or have a learner's permit at least) and the second-to-last in 1986 (well... lebron is still older by 1.5 years). you gotta assume most of the fanbase behind any online squabbling barely got to appreciate a chip in their lifetime. well, at least the team is usually decent.
We mustn’t get overly optimistic over a single win fellow Heat fans. Celtics remain a formidable opponent and will have the drive to avenge the loss at home and will be all the more dangerous for it. -me when I’m fucking lying Heat in 5 and fuck Boston
Am I the only one that actually gained confidence in the heat after watching game one? Yes they lost convincingly but they stayed competitive in the first half and even went in a little run at the end. I saw a lot of mistakes that cost them the game, but knowing Coach Spo I knew they would make adjustments and respond accordingly
I am a celtics fan, and low-key I’m just expecting them to underperform because they always do, from a pure talent standpoint, Boston should be a lock for the title, but the second a team just has a better gameplay than the Celtics, they fold like origami paper. We’ve seen the exact same shit since 2017, 2022 was our best chance, and we got stomped by the Warriors. From a business and competitive standpoint, yeah the Celtics have had a really successful era, but I feel like the Celtics could literally break the record for regular season wins going 74-8, and we’d still feel anxious in the playoffs.
I swear to god SGA makes it a point to drop somewhere between 27-35 per game. He refuses to go above or below that range and no matter what will end up somehow averaging 32.1PPG for however long their playoff run goes. I can already see it.
I have yet to watch pelicans playoff basketball EVER. However, it always seems like whenever I hear about them it's the 1rst round and they're never fully healthy
If Boston loses it would be the follow up to the Red Sox overcoming a 3-0 deficit vs the Yankees. Kinda like how the Indians (now Guardians) choked a 3-1 lead after Lebron and the Cavs overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals
Heat beating Celtics, Heat being 8th seed taking down the 1st seed. Both of them happened last year, tbh I don’t think anyone should be surprised by these.
Would be interesting if Heat gets a couple of games and Jimmy buckets get back beats the playoff record for points and Celtics are out after all the hype they have gotten this season. Im rooting for Them!
Something I will always wonder about The Dame trade in that I wonder how much of it was The Bucks not wanting The Heat to get Dame. I feel like The whole Eastern side owes The Bucks a "Thank you card" , The Heat were standing tall on Hero but This team had more players that were close enough and I think Portland would have done the trade if The Bucks didn't come in.
I hate how when Boston wins , Tatum gets none of the credit and actually gets clowned for being carried by his supporting cast , but when they lose it’s all tatums fault , because he didn’t score 40 and not the actual reasons for the loss
That's the heat you get when you're the best player on a team that had one of the best regular seasons in history and is expected to win a ring, anything less than that is going to be an L for them. The Celtics have been building up to this for over half a decade now, it's time for them to win and there's no excuses
Yup, zero excuses left. Will they fold under pressure? Are they actually build to go all they way in the playoffs? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z😅
@@natedogg890 I agree but I’m not talking about the Celtics as a whole , we know that ppl will overreact to every result good and bad , however with Tatum specifically the narrative is so wierd
Everybody is saying how Boston is this great team with stats out of the charts, but eye test shows sterile offense and too much dependence on 3p shooting. And none of their players is great natural shooter, I don't care what % they have in regular season.
But there whole starting lineup is unironically good shooters jrue is the worst shooter of that starting lineup and he is still decent they lost because Miami just wasn’t missing
@@rayhouston5815 Brown or Tatum are not great natural shooters. Someone like MPJ is a natural shooter. I don't care who has better % it means nothing. When push comes to shove, someone like MPJ could take and make that crazy 3p surrounded by 3 dudes with hands in his face. From Tatum or Brown, you would get an airball or a block. It's not clutch, just difference in ability.
You're referring to the fact that this year there's been a lot of talk about the fact that the Cetlics have the 4th highest net rating of all time, net rating is calculated by subtracting the defensive rating (the average number of points conceded per game) from the offensive rating (the average number of points scored per game) of a team. It's important to understand that the 3 teams ranked above them in the all-time rankings - the '96 Bulls, the '97 Bulls and the '17 Warriors - were all champions in the year of their record-breaking net rating. In fact, of the 10 teams in this ranking (excluding the 2024 Celtics) 8 are champions that year, and ALL are champions at some point between the 2 years before or after the record was set. You can see why we talk about this statistic so much, it's really quite something. I'm not saying the rest of your point isn't valid, but please understand why there's so much talk about this stat.
@@Herzeder Circumstances change. It could be that going forward net rating won't be that important indicator because (most) top teams don't try in regular season. This year Boston is the only team going for it. All others are 57ish wins at best.
@@frozen1762 I dont get your point. Multiples team at 50+ wins is the best proof of an actual competitive season. The east is quite weak tho, that's true, but the east is historically weaker than the West anyway. An excellent net rating has been for, at least, the last 50 years a pretty good indicator of which team is going to win the title, in fact it's probably the best statistical indicator as I explained it in my last post. I'm not saying that the Celtics are going to win it all this year btw, I'm just saying that them being considered a pretty good team isn't undeserved.
It honestly doesn't matter if they win or lose this series. Let this loss finally, FINALLY prove to all of you that this team *IS NOT READY.* How many times must they let you down before you understand this? And before you say "oh but this is a different team", at the top? Bc THATS what matters. Who is your 'guy'. And Jason Tatum is just NOT that 'guy'.
Tatum has NEVER been that guy. The nba media has been trying to convince us for years now that he is. There’s a reason he’s not in the mvp convo even tho he’s best player on dominant team in east
Its almost like the heat are just a really good team. Built for the playoffs mentallly and physically. Obviously boston is a better team. But the heat are just too good to count out. Always competitive

pacers beating the bucks wouldn't really be a big deal, though, at least logically. the teams' records weren't far apart to begin with, the bucks' best player is out with an injury, and doc is their coach. (by "not a big deal" i mean it shouldn't even really be surprising to fans. I'm sure the bucks will have a reeeeeeally rough off-season though....)
Being a Celtics fan must be agony
They make me even more bipolar
Look no further at Bsolz
a storied franchise, but the last championship was 2008 (16 years ago! it could drive now if it were a person! or have a learner's permit at least) and the second-to-last in 1986 (well... lebron is still older by 1.5 years). you gotta assume most of the fanbase behind any online squabbling barely got to appreciate a chip in their lifetime. well, at least the team is usually decent.
Not really, at least for me. This game is clearly an anomaly, which was shown in G3
We mustn’t get overly optimistic over a single win fellow Heat fans. Celtics remain a formidable opponent and will have the drive to avenge the loss at home and will be all the more dangerous for it.
-me when I’m fucking lying Heat in 5 and fuck Boston
I love the switch up😂 going from Miami finished to why bostons like this😂
Am I the only one that actually gained confidence in the heat after watching game one? Yes they lost convincingly but they stayed competitive in the first half and even went in a little run at the end. I saw a lot of mistakes that cost them the game, but knowing Coach Spo I knew they would make adjustments and respond accordingly
As a Thunder/Heat fan, I couldn’t be more happy with how this is going.
Remember being excited for the luka tingus pingus offence back in like 2020 and pingus going dead in games.
I am a celtics fan, and low-key I’m just expecting them to underperform because they always do, from a pure talent standpoint, Boston should be a lock for the title, but the second a team just has a better gameplay than the Celtics, they fold like origami paper.
We’ve seen the exact same shit since 2017, 2022 was our best chance, and we got stomped by the Warriors.
From a business and competitive standpoint, yeah the Celtics have had a really successful era, but I feel like the Celtics could literally break the record for regular season wins going 74-8, and we’d still feel anxious in the playoffs.
If Boston fumbles this one itll make me happy make me smile
Side note hopefully you heal up soon. That scooter incident seemed rough dude.
I swear to god SGA makes it a point to drop somewhere between 27-35 per game. He refuses to go above or below that range and no matter what will end up somehow averaging 32.1PPG for however long their playoff run goes. I can already see it.
If it does happen this will be one of the greatest upsets in NBA playoff history.
Hell yuh finally got the mainstream to talk about pels and OKC
I have yet to watch pelicans playoff basketball EVER. However, it always seems like whenever I hear about them it's the 1rst round and they're never fully healthy
WHERES THAT SWEEP AT BOSTON. LFG HEAT
If Boston loses it would be the follow up to the Red Sox overcoming a 3-0 deficit vs the Yankees. Kinda like how the Indians (now Guardians) choked a 3-1 lead after Lebron and the Cavs overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals
Correct title - “why are the heat like that”
Why is this video 14 hours late? When did the game end at us time that noone commented on it?
Celtics fans getting introduced to playoff Tingus Pingus :D
Heat beating Celtics, Heat being 8th seed taking down the 1st seed. Both of them happened last year, tbh I don’t think anyone should be surprised by these.
Would be interesting if Heat gets a couple of games and Jimmy buckets get back beats the playoff record for points and Celtics are out after all the hype they have gotten this season. Im rooting for Them!
Something I will always wonder about The Dame trade in that I wonder how much of it was The Bucks not wanting The Heat to get Dame. I feel like The whole Eastern side owes The Bucks a "Thank you card" , The Heat were standing tall on Hero but This team had more players that were close enough and I think Portland would have done the trade if The Bucks didn't come in.
Spo is the greatest nba coach of all time. He should get coach of the year every year literally every team would trade their coach for him
This game had Bsolz tweakin
I hate how when Boston wins , Tatum gets none of the credit and actually gets clowned for being carried by his supporting cast , but when they lose it’s all tatums fault , because he didn’t score 40 and not the actual reasons for the loss
That's the heat you get when you're the best player on a team that had one of the best regular seasons in history and is expected to win a ring, anything less than that is going to be an L for them. The Celtics have been building up to this for over half a decade now, it's time for them to win and there's no excuses
Yup, zero excuses left. Will they fold under pressure? Are they actually build to go all they way in the playoffs? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z😅
@@natedogg890 I agree but I’m not talking about the Celtics as a whole , we know that ppl will overreact to every result good and bad , however with Tatum specifically the narrative is so wierd
I think it is as simple as the heat hit 24 3s on 55% shooting if they can keep that up they'll win but I don't think that's maintainable
9:39 for the Celtics vs Heat breakdown
Everybody is saying how Boston is this great team with stats out of the charts, but eye test shows sterile offense and too much dependence on 3p shooting. And none of their players is great natural shooter, I don't care what % they have in regular season.
But there whole starting lineup is unironically good shooters jrue is the worst shooter of that starting lineup and he is still decent they lost because Miami just wasn’t missing
@@rayhouston5815 Brown or Tatum are not great natural shooters. Someone like MPJ is a natural shooter. I don't care who has better % it means nothing. When push comes to shove, someone like MPJ could take and make that crazy 3p surrounded by 3 dudes with hands in his face. From Tatum or Brown, you would get an airball or a block. It's not clutch, just difference in ability.
You're referring to the fact that this year there's been a lot of talk about the fact that the Cetlics have the 4th highest net rating of all time, net rating is calculated by subtracting the defensive rating (the average number of points conceded per game) from the offensive rating (the average number of points scored per game) of a team.
It's important to understand that the 3 teams ranked above them in the all-time rankings - the '96 Bulls, the '97 Bulls and the '17 Warriors - were all champions in the year of their record-breaking net rating. In fact, of the 10 teams in this ranking (excluding the 2024 Celtics) 8 are champions that year, and ALL are champions at some point between the 2 years before or after the record was set.
You can see why we talk about this statistic so much, it's really quite something.
I'm not saying the rest of your point isn't valid, but please understand why there's so much talk about this stat.
@@Herzeder Circumstances change. It could be that going forward net rating won't be that important indicator because (most) top teams don't try in regular season. This year Boston is the only team going for it. All others are 57ish wins at best.
@@frozen1762 I dont get your point. Multiples team at 50+ wins is the best proof of an actual competitive season. The east is quite weak tho, that's true, but the east is historically weaker than the West anyway.
An excellent net rating has been for, at least, the last 50 years a pretty good indicator of which team is going to win the title, in fact it's probably the best statistical indicator as I explained it in my last post.
I'm not saying that the Celtics are going to win it all this year btw, I'm just saying that them being considered a pretty good team isn't undeserved.
As one of the few lifelong celtics fans who hates our current players, I am going to die laughing if they drop this series to the heat.
As a Celtics fan, 80% of this is mazzulla
It honestly doesn't matter if they win or lose this series. Let this loss finally, FINALLY prove to all of you that this team *IS NOT READY.* How many times must they let you down before you understand this? And before you say "oh but this is a different team", at the top? Bc THATS what matters. Who is your 'guy'. And Jason Tatum is just NOT that 'guy'.
So the Thunder defeats the sorry axx Pels without Zion and now they are ok against bigger teams?
My God. My GOSH
It took the Heat 5 games and make 23 threes just to beat the Celtics this season.
When Boston loses this series the slander will feed families for generations
Miami Heat best team in the NBA we going back to the finals
I think the We Believe Warriors are still the biggest upset in nba history
What did miami executed excuse me? Did Spo had a button that makes them make 23 threes with 53 percent?
if you want consistent scoring look at Pacers Gm 2
WHY ARRRRE WE LIKE THIS GOD DAMN IT!!!
Tatum has NEVER been that guy. The nba media has been trying to convince us for years now that he is. There’s a reason he’s not in the mvp convo even tho he’s best player on dominant team in east
What a terrible day it must be in Boston when the Celtics lose the white boy battle.
Could it be said that inconsistencies like that are a sign of a lack of motivation?
Celtics and Lakers will be eliminated on the 1st round and that'll be humiliating. 😅
Miami playing with house money
Its almost like the heat are just a really good team. Built for the playoffs mentallly and physically. Obviously boston is a better team. But the heat are just too good to count out. Always competitive
If they get knocked out by the heat . They really need 2 trade Jaylen brown
