@@CloudyB_MT Smart missed three open looks. It happens. I’m most upset at Grant not bodying Lowry more on that drive. It was just too easy. Strus 3 is just part of game. I actually surprised Jimmy missed that 3, despite it being the weakness in his game. Guy just seems so clutch.
You gotta give it to the Celtics. Had the hardest road to the finals so far. Swept KD and Kyrie. Eliminated the reigning champs, Bucks in 7, eliminated the 1st seeded Heat. And now facing the team of this decade, the Warriors. Well-earned, well-deserved.
When jimmy took that transition 3 my heart sank. I’ve seen a lot of heartbreak being a Celtic fan and damn it felt good to just see Boston finally make it back to the finals. This team is special
I’m no where near a Celtics fan but damn what a year for them. Such a slow start to the season and outa no where they became number two seed, and easily had the hardest playoff schedule. All respects to them.
Facing elimination, Jimmy Butler left it ALL on the court in the ECF ⚡ 𝑮𝒂𝒎𝒆 6: 47 PTS, 9 REB, 8 AST, 16-29 FG 𝑮𝒂𝒎𝒆 7: 35 PTS, 9 REB, 13-24 FG He played all but two minutes in the final two games for the Miami Heat.
Naw, he should have made a 2 then its even, play defense and see what happens. By missing a 3 you put yourself in the red , remember unless you are a pure 3 point shooter don't shoot that 3 unless there is no time left to do anything else. Players are getting carried away with the 3 pointer !
Tatum's rookie year at 19 years old averaged 18 points 4 Reb and 2 Ast and Jaylen Brown in his Sophomore year averaged 18 Points, 4 Reb and 1 Ast in the playoffs. This Playoffs Jayson Averaged 27 Points 6 Reb 7 Ast and Jaylen Averaged 23 Points 7 Reb 3 Ast, while Both having Improved Defensively. Shoutout to Marcus Smart as well. Getting that experience and putting in that work pays off. Grant Williams, Derrick White, Robert Wiliams, and Payton Pritchard are nice additions to the Team as well since that 2016 Celtics team. Got to give Credit to Ime Udoka as well. He's been Great as a coach.

That Strus 3 gave me chills man and I was so nervous and confused when Jimmy shot that 3 and equally disappointed when he missed it. Strus showed up in the clutch man. The Heat would be absolute idiots to let him go. He gave them hope and chance after chance there as the end

When you're trailing and never led in the game, heart pounding, adrenaline pumping, AND it's the last game of the series??? All of those factored in his decision to shoot that shot, like he did.
Bad choice, too many people taking 3 pointers thinking it will put them up by 1 if they make it. Make a 2 and tie it up then play defense ! The league is getting carried away with 3 pointers !
yoo the similarity is actually insane, Real first beat PSG with some of the biggest names such as Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but they had no real team chemistry just like the Nets with KD and Kyrie, in the next round both teams beat the defending champions and in the semis it was a grit and grind series between two evenly matched teams that went down to the wire in both cases.

Right back at the Bucks! With Giannis you guys will always contend for a ring. Can't say the same about any other team in the league, even the Celtics and Warriors.
As a Durant and Kyrie fan i rooting for Celtics in the final! Good luck for them! I am from Bulgaria from 7 000 - 8 000 kilometars away but when i can i watch NBA. Lakers are richest and most popular club but Celtics got people hearts with his history and that they never give up to richest men. Go Celtics for number 18!
@luis garcia why are you trying to gatekeep basketball? Let the people enjoy the game, you’re no better cause you’ve watched more or less games. Be humble!
YES. Finally !!! When the Celtics took Lebron to ECFs years ago ( 7 games,I believe )I was a Lebron fan,but seeing how,HARD and HUNGRY the Celtics were,I wanted them to go to the nba finals instead !!!! LOL. Now,it's here,Celtics in 6 !!!!
The Boston Celtics are 26-9 in 7th game playoff series in franchise history, including 7-1 in the championship finals. I have been a Celtics fan since 'way back in the days of Bob Cousy, before they had ever won an NBA title. Now they're going for no. 18. Go Celtics!
Good Job Celtics, and Good luck in the finals! I love all the players in both the Celtics and Warriors, but I'm rooting for the Celtics because I want to see the two Jays get their ring.
True however he put that behind him and made 2 very important free throws. But very poor shot selection late from him and it will need to be cleaner to beat GS.
very unusual for Marcus - but you hafta believe that the legs are dead. Entire season, a couple tough series - then seven games vs. the Heat - (when your legs go the shots tend to come up just short).
Jimmy did that crap to screw the Heat; if he makes it, he's the hero; if he misses it screw the Heat. Remember that fight with the coaching staff and Haslem? Jimmy Butler is a self-serving player and he just wants to have a work-out when he plays, no matter the game, as long as he has a good workout all is well... he's not a winning player. If Butler were a great player, he would have done something, anything, from the 7 minute mark to the 2 minute mark where he did nothing to answer Boston as the best player to keep his team afloat... then he takes a bad shot down two he takes a three... I immediately thought of that fight and how much of that had nothing to do with actual basketball.
@@AidanS99 lol there was a reason horford left him open, he didn't expect him to shoot he thought he would drive to the basket instead but Jimmy proved him wrong and bricked it hard
If that Jimmy Bucket 3 pointer when in, that would be the greatest shot in Game 7 history!!! Am with Jimmy with that shot!!! Respect to Jimmy, he played in the whole game!!! A legendary for me!!!
Butler threw the game away & he had a easy drive to tie the game to carry over time but took a three to lose the game! Smh he forgot that's the last game!
Jimmy is gonna think about that 3 attempt for a long time. What could’ve been but regardless the Celtics deserved this. Good luck against the warriors!
Butler, should have taken a 3 , then you are even, why take a risk trying to get to the finals by gambling on a 3 ? A 2 would have put pressure on Boston to score , if they don't you have a second opportunity to go into overtime !
Everything about the atmosphere of the game during that shot made it seem like it was destined to go in. It almost seems more unreal that it didn't. If it drops, this clip is perhaps as iconic as the Steph OKC shot or the Dame shot.
That's how I felt. When some people was saying jimmy shouldn't have took that shot. I'm thinking, they've haven't watched enough basketball in their lives. The way the game was going, that shot normally goes in. And the crowd goes crazy. And everybody remembers that shot. It becomes part of jimmy and the heats legacy. I almost knew that the heat and Celtics would play again in the ECF. Jimmy definitely remembers that shot
Butler had an outstanding night, but that last 3 was a questionable decision to say the least. Celtics defense the whole series has been incredible though, you gotta give them that. Well deserved
It wasn't in question more so that it was rushed. He ran straight to the 3 point line and launched it, without setting his feet.... and had 16 seconds left... plenty of time to get a set shot off.
Celtics had the hardest road to the finals so far. Swept KD and Kyrie. Eliminated the reigning champs, Bucks in 7, eliminated the 1st seeded Heat. And now facing the team of this decade, the Warriors. Well-earned, well-deserved. Warriors in 6 tho
the Nets were a disappointment of a team and every knows that, Bucks didn't have Middleton, the Heat despite pushing it to 7 games never really was going to win this. it will be a big challenge for the Celtics to face a complete and healthy Warriors team. the warriors had their series wins against injury plagued teams as well. should be an exciting series though. it's honestly hard to tell who will win.
Damn I had to take my like back when I saw that last sentence lol Celtics are winning in 7 especially since they redeemed themselves from the lebron ass woopin back in his heat days haha good luck though
as a heat fan you have no idea how far my heart sank after that jimmy three. it was the right move tho jimbo didn’t get any rest the entire game he wouldn’t have lasted in ot
That last three point shot by Butler was a bit rushed. He had plenty of time to get his feet set for a much cleaner three. He just ran to the three line, without setting his feet and launched it. If he would've set his feet, I believe he would've made it. That said, "WHAT A SERIES THIS WAS!!!" Let's go: NBA 2022 Finals!! #WarriorsVsCeltics
C's got away with this one. If they have this kind of meltdown against GSW, Game Over! Miami made a huge blueprint on exposing their offensive inconsistencies.
In this series, whatever team came out flat lost. The Heat clearly didn't get rested and had a horrible and inexcusable 1st quarter. The Celtics are evenly matched, so the Heat couldn't overcome the first quarter. When you're losing, the threes just don't fall as easily.
The Celtics doing this year, what the bengals did last year in the nfl. Doing more and going farther than anyone thought they could, through the toughest opponents
This would have been a different outcome under the old “jump into the defender for a easy foul” rules. This game was so much cleaner without those cheap fouls that powered scorers from 1990 through 2021.
That rule really only existed from the early 2000s to 2021. The 2010s are where it became heavily exploited. 1990s basketball had a very different rule set and defenders were up. Great scorers from the 90s were just great scorers and not some early version of James Harden.
@@MrDarkx1000 In 1990, *the day after* The (championship-favourite) Bulls lost game 7 of the ECF without injured Pippen. The NBA media, *NIKE* , and particularly biased newspaper writers like Skip Bayless started immediately pushing the totally unsubstantiated & fantasy narrative of “headhunting bonuses” for players on the “Bad Boy” Pistons to hurt opposing players, and alluded that it was normal on other teams too. It got way worse after the Pistons beat Magic’s already banged up Lakers in the finals with their collapsing defence. So… That summer the league held a conference and quite literally changed the entire game. • Flagrant & Technical fouls were now 100% a judgement call by the refs, and flagrants did not need contact to occur. Flagrants also now automatically gave a shot to any team member, PLUS they now got possession. • All 3 Refs could call a flagrant foul now *without agreement by the head Ref* The flagrant upgrade could also be made by any ref not just the one who made the initial call. • Flagrant upgrades were also not allowed to be reviewed, challenged, or disparaged in the media by anyone league-associated during or after game. The Referees Association loved these changes, but then resisted the creation of an independent Referee grading system (like we have now), to make sure only the best & most unbiased referees were calling games in the playoffs. Instead playoff refereeing decisions could solely be based on seniority of all available within the Referees Association. www.nbra.net/ Scorers like MJ changed their entire game in that next season, with a sweep through the handcheck, or a pump fake & *jump into* the defender, now being common practice. Jordan personally matched James Harden’s career high of 17 FT made in a game that season, then MJ beat it in ‘92-93 with 21 FTs made in a single game, and beat even that with 22 made FTs in a game in ‘97-98. MJ even admitted that Clyde Drexler was just as good as he was, but that Drexler didn’t “know how to play the game.” As in market himself to the fans *and the referees* to get those cheap extra calls. www.sportscasting.com/michael-jordan-told-teammates-privately-clyde-drexler-good-didnt-know-play-game/ This is not even including the insane lessening of overall competition among teams in the 1990s and early 2000 expansion era. The era before the top overseas players, like Vlade Divac, Ginobili, Giannis, and Doncic coming to the NBA was normal practice.
I think that is such a poor decision by Butler - mainly bc if he misses, there is nobody on the Heat to get that rebound. Yes, it might have been a great look, but way too risky.
He rushed it. I'm cool with him taking that shot "IF" he had his feet set, which he didn't. That shot was rushed but when you're down, never led in the game, adrenaline pumping, AND it's the last game of the series??? All of those factored in his decision to shoot that shot, like he did.
Basketball fans and analysts will talk about this shot by Jimmy for a long time. With the game on the line with 19 seconds left, you have to trust the instincts of your best player. He could have driven to the basket which he usually makes or picked up a foul. He willed this team to where they are right now, he has the right to take that shot anyways. Great series!
Everyone getting on Jimmy for the missed three but it was a great wide open look at the top of the key. If he woulda drove he had Horford who already was back peddling into the paint to contest any layups. Best case scenerio you tie the game or get fouled but there are no certainties on either.
Jimmy butler’s shot made me sad. The guy played so well and seeing that go in would’ve been the surge into the finals towards his ring. He has the heart of a champion, and now needs to live with one of the tough to swallow misses in anyones career.
im watching from heaven, cheering celts on, i died when jimmy butler took the 3. tatum texted me a few mins ago, told me "i got you" in the finals, celts beat warriors.

Good Job Celtics, and Good luck in the finals!
I love all the players in both the Celtics and Warriors, but I'm rooting for the Celtics because I want to see the two Jays get their ring.
This could've been Smart's horror story. Missing 4 consecutive shot with 3 of those from 3point line.
True however he put that behind him and made 2 very important free throws. But very poor shot selection late from him and it will need to be cleaner to beat GS.
I dont understand why smart keeps getting shots down the stretch why aren't your best sorers taking the shots?
very unusual for Marcus - but you hafta believe that the legs
are dead. Entire season, a couple tough series - then seven games
vs. the Heat - (when your legs go the shots tend to come up just short).
cuz Marcus typically drills them with his eyes closed.
Yeah. I saw that also.
I thought we lost when Jimmy took that shot I literally would jump off the building bro I’m still in disbelief
Jimmy ain't clutch especially from 3point territory
@@ayidonno I know that, but man that shot scared me. 😂 I think right after he missed I remembered Jimmy doesn’t shoot 3’s.
@@ayidonno u are a casual bro
Jimmy did that crap to screw the Heat; if he makes it, he's the hero; if he misses it screw the Heat. Remember that fight with the coaching staff and Haslem? Jimmy Butler is a self-serving player and he just wants to have a work-out when he plays, no matter the game, as long as he has a good workout all is well... he's not a winning player. If Butler were a great player, he would have done something, anything, from the 7 minute mark to the 2 minute mark where he did nothing to answer Boston as the best player to keep his team afloat... then he takes a bad shot down two he takes a three... I immediately thought of that fight and how much of that had nothing to do with actual basketball.
@@AidanS99 lol there was a reason horford left him open, he didn't expect him to shoot he thought he would drive to the basket instead but Jimmy proved him wrong and bricked it hard
If that Jimmy Bucket 3 pointer when in, that would be the greatest shot in Game 7 history!!! Am with Jimmy with that shot!!! Respect to Jimmy, he played in the whole game!!! A legendary for me!!!
Butler threw the game away & he had a easy drive to tie the game to carry over time but took a three to lose the game! Smh he forgot that's the last game!
Yea they acting like Horford was gonna stop him. Lol. Not on a fast break. Then he had the lob to Bam if Brown helped off. Smh.

Why do I have absolutely zero memory of the Heat being the #1 seed just last season???
Jimmy is gonna think about that 3 attempt for a long time. What could’ve been but regardless the Celtics deserved this. Good luck against the warriors!
I agree, players want to be a hero at the wrong time, get the 2 and go into overtime.
Butler damn it! You should’ve gone for the easy 2
and almost a year later, they meet again in the Eastern Conference Finals. It's time for Heat to make the RUN. Let's go HEAT!
If Butler took his time on that last 3 pointer would've been a crazy game, GO CELTICS!!!
Butler, should have taken a 3 , then you are even, why take a risk trying to get to the finals by gambling on a 3 ? A 2 would have put pressure on Boston to score , if they don't you have a second opportunity to go into overtime !
My heart has never beat so fast in my life when I thought the Celtics were giving away this game and going to lose.
omg my heart. hey hats off to the heat on an amazing season, but let's go C's! one game at a time baby
Smart is hella lucky that butler missed that 3 and then made those ft's! Because if not, idk anymore lmao he took all of those shots in the end 🤣
Yeah not so smart... or wait, he is Smart. 😂
Haha Jimmy Bricks for 3
Which is bad come thursday. Curry and Klay will not miss the shot Butler put up.
I'm a celtic fan and I still think of that butler 3. It's like my heartbeat stopped for a moment.
He's a horrible 3-point shooter and didn't even have his feet set properly. I legit thought it was going to be an airball.
We got a rematch🔥🔥🔥
its about to be a classic
@@swish1457 4-0 is gonna go down in history for sure 😂
Smart tried to hand the Heat the game
3 consecutive good look 3 missed....
I know,missing 2 threes in a row. HUH ??? He had enough time for a couple dribbles to shoot a closer shot.
One of the greatest 'what ifs' on Jimmy Butler's 3 point shot there
Everything about the atmosphere of the game during that shot made it seem like it was destined to go in. It almost seems more unreal that it didn't. If it drops, this clip is perhaps as iconic as the Steph OKC shot or the Dame shot.
That's how I felt.
When some people was saying jimmy shouldn't have took that shot.
I'm thinking, they've haven't watched enough basketball in their lives.
The way the game was going, that shot normally goes in. And the crowd goes crazy. And everybody remembers that shot.
It becomes part of jimmy and the heats legacy.
I almost knew that the heat and Celtics would play again in the ECF.
Jimmy definitely remembers that shot
Been 12 long years y'all! The last 2 minutes scared me when Celtics let off the gas. #greenrunsdeep
yeah, you start playing not-to-lose - and bad things happen.
Congrats you get to go get swept by the warriors now
@@Professional_street_hustler talk your sht bum. Your team ain't even in the picture 👍.
@@Professional_street_hustler What will the heat be doing?
12 years…crazy, literally feels like yesterday.
Marcus Smart tried his hardest to sell the Celtics at the end of this game
As a heat fan this hurts but we coming for revenge if we have to face celtics
We coming for they ass!!!! I 100% believe the heat will beat the Celtics this year!
@@Gear_Saitama lol nahhh..dis ain't bubble anymore
@@howell2327 u right this ain’t bubble no more this the real shit
And I was right and we’ll be back to kick they ass again
@@howell2327we got our revenge and are still gonna beat them again this year
3:11 man I so badly wish Jimmy just drained that shot. Would've been the biggest shot of his career
Heat really almost had the ultimate comeback but just fell short. Those final minutes were unbelievable!
Marcus Smart almost single handedly throwing the series away
ong bro like as a celtics fan if we hit one of those three pointers, we would win with no heart attacks to come
@@ashvinvaradaraju3407I swear but lucky we won that
@@ilypessimistic ye thank god
Marcus Smart did everything he could to lose this game for the Celtics at the end but they hung on despite him.
Still gives me chills
Butler had an outstanding night, but that last 3 was a questionable decision to say the least. Celtics defense the whole series has been incredible though, you gotta give them that. Well deserved
23% from 3 on the season was butler.....
It wasn't in question more so that it was rushed. He ran straight to the 3 point line and launched it, without setting his feet.... and had 16 seconds left... plenty of time to get a set shot off.
@@cjgameon264 exactly. Look at how he landed. A poor 3pt shooter with a rushed motion. That shot never had any chance to go in
Jimmie makes that 9 times out of 10 -
9 times out of 10???? Bro he’s a below 25% shooter from 3.
Celtics had the hardest road to the finals so far. Swept KD and Kyrie. Eliminated the reigning champs, Bucks in 7, eliminated the 1st seeded Heat. And now facing the team of this decade, the Warriors. Well-earned, well-deserved. Warriors in 6 tho
the Nets were a disappointment of a team and every knows that, Bucks didn't have Middleton, the Heat despite pushing it to 7 games never really was going to win this. it will be a big challenge for the Celtics to face a complete and healthy Warriors team. the warriors had their series wins against injury plagued teams as well. should be an exciting series though. it's honestly hard to tell who will win.
Nets had ZERO Defense, Bucks were short handed and Heat were good on defense but very limited offensively.
Damn I had to take my like back when I saw that last sentence lol Celtics are winning in 7 especially since they redeemed themselves from the lebron ass woopin back in his heat days haha good luck though
it's gonna be the celtics beating the warriors though
@@lRockyI 0 offense consistency
Massive respect to JIMMY BUTLER ! 🔥 There wouldn't be a game 7 without him.
Sucks we didn't win it all but their reaction after the buzzer will always make me smile man
Let’s go Celtics! 🍀
It would have been a different outcome if Butler just drove that ball instead of taking a three. 🏀
I agree, players get carried away with 3 pointers !, get the 2 and go to overtime. Bad decision !
Rematch tomorrow night in Boston winner goes to the NBA Finals 🔥🔥
as a heat fan you have no idea how far my heart sank after that jimmy three. it was the right move tho jimbo didn’t get any rest the entire game he wouldn’t have lasted in ot
That last three point shot by Butler was a bit rushed. He had plenty of time to get his feet set for a much cleaner three. He just ran to the three line, without setting his feet and launched it. If he would've set his feet, I believe he would've made it. That said, "WHAT A SERIES THIS WAS!!!" Let's go: NBA 2022 Finals!! #WarriorsVsCeltics
It was also a nice close-out defensively - played Jimmie just right.
Made Jimmie pull-up. Gave Jimmie the uber-contested Jumper -
but not the Drive. Saved the game.
Celtics honestly knew they had this in a bag lol
Heat win game 7 at boston lets goooooo jimmy!!!!!
1 year later but this time in Boston let's gooooo
From NH, live in S Fla but will always root for the Celtics. Always.
C's got away with this one. If they have this kind of meltdown against GSW, Game Over! Miami made a huge blueprint on exposing their offensive inconsistencies.
Miami’s most consistent offensive weapon all year was Tyler Herro not Jimmy Butler.
Nobody’s going to mention it but massive props to horford for getting that board
Jaylen with the tip
In this series, whatever team came out flat lost. The Heat clearly didn't get rested and had a horrible and inexcusable 1st quarter. The Celtics are evenly matched, so the Heat couldn't overcome the first quarter. When you're losing, the threes just don't fall as easily.
The Celtics doing this year, what the bengals did last year in the nfl. Doing more and going farther than anyone thought they could, through the toughest opponents
A glimpse of the Zombie Heat we all know now.
You're the home team, the momentum was on your side, should have took it to OT instead.
Heat got revenge in the future
Miami VS Boston is one hell of a rivalry
Boston Celtics 2022 Eastern Conference Champions.and Hopefully 2022 NBA Champions.
This would have been a different outcome under the old “jump into the defender for a easy foul” rules. This game was so much cleaner without those cheap fouls that powered scorers from 1990 through 2021.
Once upon a Time I used to do the same thing - i.e. get
the defender in the air - initiate the contact. Draw the foul -
@choossuck are you saying he’s going to hell for drawing fouls? Hahaha
That rule really only existed from the early 2000s to 2021. The 2010s are where it became heavily exploited. 1990s basketball had a very different rule set and defenders were up. Great scorers from the 90s were just great scorers and not some early version of James Harden.
@choossuck ura clown
@@MrDarkx1000 In 1990, *the day after* The (championship-favourite) Bulls lost game 7 of the ECF without injured Pippen. The NBA media, *NIKE* , and particularly biased newspaper writers like Skip Bayless started immediately pushing the totally unsubstantiated & fantasy narrative of “headhunting bonuses” for players on the “Bad Boy” Pistons to hurt opposing players, and alluded that it was normal on other teams too. It got way worse after the Pistons beat Magic’s already banged up Lakers in the finals with their collapsing defence. So… That summer the league held a conference and quite literally changed the entire game.
• Flagrant & Technical fouls were now 100% a judgement call by the refs, and flagrants did not need contact to occur. Flagrants also now automatically gave a shot to any team member, PLUS they now got possession.
• All 3 Refs could call a flagrant foul now *without agreement by the head Ref* The flagrant upgrade could also be made by any ref not just the one who made the initial call.
• Flagrant upgrades were also not allowed to be reviewed, challenged, or disparaged in the media by anyone league-associated during or after game.
The Referees Association loved these changes, but then resisted the creation of an independent Referee grading system (like we have now), to make sure only the best & most unbiased referees were calling games in the playoffs. Instead playoff refereeing decisions could solely be based on seniority of all available within the Referees Association. www.nbra.net/
Scorers like MJ changed their entire game in that next season, with a sweep through the handcheck, or a pump fake & *jump into* the defender, now being common practice. Jordan personally matched James Harden’s career high of 17 FT made in a game that season, then MJ beat it in ‘92-93 with 21 FTs made in a single game, and beat even that with 22 made FTs in a game in ‘97-98.
MJ even admitted that Clyde Drexler was just as good as he was, but that Drexler didn’t “know how to play the game.” As in market himself to the fans *and the referees* to get those cheap extra calls.
www.sportscasting.com/michael-jordan-told-teammates-privately-clyde-drexler-good-didnt-know-play-game/
This is not even including the insane lessening of overall competition among teams in the 1990s and early 2000 expansion era. The era before the top overseas players, like Vlade Divac, Ginobili, Giannis, and Doncic coming to the NBA was normal practice.
Wow...Who would've thought butler would've lost in a close one like this..Great game Celtics.
but a nice close-out on Jimmie, i.e. making the shot
come up just short. Great D. Didn't leave his feet until
Jimmie did.
Take it to the hole and get 2 and maybe and 1 if he gets fouled.
3:09 Butler went for the kill there. My heart fucking dropped when he shot that.
omg game 7 again! let's go Heat!
And now they bout to run it back 1 year later
I think that is such a poor decision by Butler - mainly bc if he misses, there is nobody on the Heat to get that rebound. Yes, it might have been a great look, but way too risky.
He rushed it. I'm cool with him taking that shot "IF" he had his feet set, which he didn't. That shot was rushed but when you're down, never led in the game, adrenaline pumping, AND it's the last game of the series??? All of those factored in his decision to shoot that shot, like he did.
Basketball fans and analysts will talk about this shot by Jimmy for a long time. With the game on the line with 19 seconds left, you have to trust the instincts of your best player. He could have driven to the basket which he usually makes or picked up a foul. He willed this team to where they are right now, he has the right to take that shot anyways. Great series!
This is gonna be great series back in boston
People said the bubble wasn’t real hoop but this the same Jimmy Butler I saw
Its going to be a good finals go warrior's 🏀
Now here for the rematch! Not a fan of either team but its gon be a heck of a series
I love the warriors, hope they win it all, but I gotta say, this finals feels like a celtics in 7 type of year, we will see
great match up
For those getting on Jimmy, who else was supposed to shoot? Oladipo?
Max strus
Commentating was so mid imagine if Mike Breen was calling this
Congratulations Celtics❤️✌️🥁
Man i got sad when the heat lost because i am a heat fan. Good luck Celtics and Celtics fans!
Everyone getting on Jimmy for the missed three but it was a great wide open look at the top of the key. If he woulda drove he had Horford who already was back peddling into the paint to contest any layups. Best case scenerio you tie the game or get fouled but there are no certainties on either.
But he was way too eager, so the shot looked horribly rushed
Lol he’s not the best player on a championship team. That’s why you need another guy that can get the job done.
Jimmy butler’s shot made me sad. The guy played so well and seeing that go in would’ve been the surge into the finals towards his ring. He has the heart of a champion, and now needs to live with one of the tough to swallow misses in anyones career.
He was tired man. You can see the fatigue in his shot, he literally played a full 48 minutes. Crazy
I remember falling asleep and my dad woke me up right before jimmys shot
im watching from heaven, cheering celts on, i died when jimmy butler took the 3. tatum texted me a few mins ago, told me "i got you" in the finals, celts beat warriors.
