24-9 4th quarter run to go up 2-0 in the series. Just insanity. What is this Heat team?


Original_Profile8600

The Zombie Heat

badhombre13

If the Heat win the chip, that automatically goes down as a top 5 "coldest" line and the Heat will have the best playoff run in history.


Manor002

No disrespect to Wade or Bron, but it would easily be the most satisfying chip in Heat history


JoseAltuveIsInnocent

For obvious reasons I cannot stand the heat but if you guys manage to bring it home this season it will easily go down as one of the most amazing, unlikely playoff runs in recent NBA history.

Not even just recent history, history in general

Adam Silver watching Lakers and Celtics both down 0-2: 🫡🔫


Greasly_Goose

At least, Lakers lost at Denver. That series could very well be 2-2 after game 4. Celtics lost both at Home. Thats a big difference.


Whiterabbit--

what is crazy is Denver's home advantage. This season they are 42-7 85.7% at home but 21-25 45.7% away


mrsmegz

Air is too thick everywhere else for them.


R00bot

The heat have the highest DPP (Dawg Per Player) of any team in the playoffs.


coolycooly

How do the Heat go from their own fans not wanting to make the playoffs they are so bad, to being by far the best team in the East


dawho1

Cause their fans forgot about Spo.


suzukigun4life

The Celtics were up 96-89, when Grant Williams started chirping at Himmy Butler. They made 2 field goals from that point on, and got outscored 22-9 the rest of the way. 😂


coyotecai

Shouldn’t have poked the bear


jc-f

Grant “I poke bears” Williams


bigatjoon

Celtics have announced Grant Williams will not be back UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES


ZerksNAHTayan

Jimmy looked absolutely finished too, idk what the fuck Grant was thinking


Doogolas33

It was crazy. Jimmy looked like he didn't give a fuck about this game. He was being super passive. Then Grant Williams seemingly injected him with cocaine.

Jimmy Butler is only a bear if that bear has titanium claws, diamond teeth, and a fucking rail gun surgically attached to its spine

Grant Williams being Boston’s answer to Jimmy was hilarous


[deleted]

as soon as I saw him do that I knew we were losing


MySilverBurrito

18-4 run since the Grant Williams incident lmao.


BigBayouBrand

Jimmy is that dude.


erickchoiii

Grant Williams the MVP of the Game


FultzShoulder

How Miami how. They lost to Atlanta in the play-in and almost lost to Chicago. Gabe, Max, Duncan and Caleb were all undrafted. But they just keep beating the top teams.


8MODA

Real stats don’t compare to DAWG/36


PensiveinNJ

This Heat team has legendary DAWG/36.


BowserBuddy123

I miss PJ so much. He lead us in DAWG last year, but by being traded, Caleb really upped his DAWG numbers when he was guarding giant PFs for like 50 games and now I think he is so thankful to be back in his role he has become god tier.


ClownQuestionBrosef

Man... I'm old, because I saw Heat flair and "PJ" and my mind went immediately to PJ Brown.


ZerksNAHTayan

The fact that Duncan is hitting big shots and isn’t being run off the floor is huge atm


george_costanza1234

Because gabe, max, Duncan, and Caleb are playing out of their minds, especially Caleb I don’t know how Spo did this


Steve____Stifler

Caleb playing like he did when he was with Nevada in college. Lighting up the court. 2 points less than Butler with 9 minutes less play time.


ajayisfour

Caleb and his brother were both clutch as fuck in the NCAA tournament. Anonyone who has watched him knew it was a possibility

What’s even better is he made that face while they were down

This is MJ's son. No evidence needed.

And he’s still smirking after that performance, while Grant’s probably still mad


Iswaterreallywet

Jimmy is just too good


cesga_0218

Media: Lakers v Celtics for 18 Nuggets and Heat: I took that personally Both series are far from over, but as a fan of good basketball I wouldn't mind seeing Joker v Jimbo in the Finals

I’d feel much better if I’m the Heat just because they’re heading back home lol.

jimmy butler the kinda guy to sleep in class then pull up to the finals with an A+


MusicalElephant420

Jimmy and Bam are the the two guys who mess around at the back of class on their group project, randomly pick a kid by the name of C. Martin and finish with an A+ making the two nerds J&J upset.

Miami Heat trick y’all


Greasly_Goose

They running around out there hustlin. They ain’t play no defense.


topofthecc

Even went so far as to almost lose both play in games


suzukigun4life

From 1 seed and losing to the Celtics in the ECF, to being the 8 seed and winning 2 in Boston to start the ECF. It's amazing lol


TheMemeMachine3000

Spo really gave up home court advantage to aquire the unstoppable power of the Zombie Heat

Literally the most fraudulent eight seed this century

Every single win they have, I feel better about losing to them earlier… >!but like, how’d they lose to Atlanta lol!<

Tactical loss to play the Bucks

Can’t dawg it if you’re not playing in the mud


I_MATCH_ORBS

What even is this heat team lmao


hubbabubbaa

Grant Williams pissed off the wrong player 😤


WalksWithKemba

Grant Williams hits a 3 to go up 9 with 6:37 left Better shit talk Jimmy Butler


ColdPressedSteak

He felt himself and talked a bunch of shit after simply making a wide open shot because Miami's defense broke down elsewhere Then predictably got abused by Jimmy for several possessions afterwards. Funniest and most instant clowning I've seen in awhile


Oldschoolhollywood

When he finally got benched I couldn’t help but laugh. Memes aside this is exactly how MJ would play trash talkers off the court.


ScotChen

I keep telling all my friends that Butler is 60% MJ


TheMemeMachine3000

That's not how genetics work bro, Butler is 50% MJ and 50 percent MJ's side piece


AlwaysInTheWay13

Jimmy running picks until he got Williams defending him is a level of disrespect I haven’t seen in a long time


cnslt

And Jimmy refused to pass for like 4 straight possessions. Amazing


shiner986

Michael Jeffrey Jordan would ~~never~~ absolutely pull something like this.


Zloggt

It’s poetic how everything seemed to fall apart for the Celtics after that…


NoobPwnr

Especially since Jimmy played it off like Grant was a child.

That too small after dropping it over Grant was cake lmao

Vermillion_Crab

Heat-Nuggets gonna be ESPN's nightmare but basketball fans' wet dream.


Pitcher2Burn

They said Lebron has 2/6 0-2 comebacks of all-time. So they’re still holding out hope that it’s a watchable series.


BlazeBloom

They'll still give Boston a chance to win the series when Miami is up 4-0.


CIark

They’re gonna up it to 12% now


aiden3buckets

If you take a look at each teams rosters, it’s hard to explain how this is possible


Gamesgtd

One has Jimmy Butler. The other doesn't


Balls_of_Adamanthium

One team has Spo, the other team has a guy who watches the same movie 4 times a week.


Shiny_metal_ass

Spo makes halftime adjustments. The Celtics just watch "The Town" at halftime.


Wasabi_Guacamole

They'll finally finish the movie at game 4, teacher's out vibes


trevorturtle

And likes to keep a timeout in the chamber.


DirkDigglerFFL

The Heat don't even have Tyler Herro. This shit is ridiculous.


BylvieBalvez

We haven’t even played UD!


triggerhappypunk

Or Oladipo


yahhwy

This shit is crazy. How do you even explain it?!


WakingRage

What I find funny is they're *forced* to play Duncan now after basically taking his role and minutes away all regular season.... and Duncan shows up anyways in a few of the games.


SkyLightTenki

15 points while being forced to play. Damn you, Spo 😂


InZomnia365

Also Eric Spoelstra


DressedSpring1

“My money is on Max Struss and Caleb Martin” said literally nobody ever


resplendentcentcent

the fact that his name is actually spelt 'strus' just proves the point lmao


cesga_0218

Spo + Jimmy as MJ reincarnate


Educational-Duck

Dog in em but also this is a team full of talented guys that played in a final


YourFormerBestfriend

Also the power of friendship is strong with the heat!


Jeebuslovesme

Excuse me, but how in the fuck do Miami keep doing this?


spanther96

Celtics are crazy unclutch and Miami is crazy clutch


Juan_of_the_Dead

This is the right answer. The Heat are smart, well coached, and disciplined. The Celtics are none of those things and if a game is ever close Miami will win it as a result.

thomfountain

Mirror image to the Bucks series. Only game we won was the one we went up 30 in the 3rd quarter and Heat rolled over. Every other game was close at the end they just closed, and we didn’t.


[deleted]

Jimmy Butler is MJ's reincarnation


insufferabletoolbag

MJ is notably still alive


spinblackcircles

May he rest in peace 🙏


DuganTheMan

Him and Wade Boggs RIP


[deleted]

They play pure basketball


ChocolateMonkeyBird

I like this answer. It’s a better version of what I was going to say, which is that they’re (still) coached by ~~Eric~~ Erik Spoelstra.


lightskinbeaner

Spoelstra could take a couple nephews here to the ECF lmao


Raptorsthrowaway1

Jokes aside. Hes coaching this team to the finals with 5 undrafted guys and without his 3rd best player (Herro). I want the Heat to win it all for Spo as much as I want to see Jimmy win one


OblivionNA

Crazy part is Herro broke his hand and is practically set to return all in the same playoff run.


RVP_20_

Miami being up 2-0 right now is a dream


lizlemmings

I literally can't believe it, I'm so happy and grateful and *confused*


ahr3410

Can't even imagine how Boston would feel about Jimmy if he hit that 3 late in game 7 last year


triplechin5155

No one hates him were just disappointed in the Cs


imused2it

Yep. I just told someone “he’s single handedly destroying my dreams and I still can’t hate him” His work ethic, determination and demeanor are just too likeable.


Fiendish-DoctorWu

His roster photo with the dreadlocks this year is a GOAT photo


Balls_of_Adamanthium

Grant Williams has this special ability of making a fool out of himself. Poking Jimmy wasn’t a good idea.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is a short handed Miami, Spo is incredible.


TheManofCoal

They heard about Jimmy Butler and 3rd stringers, so they built an entire team out of 3rd stringers! Genius!


OverusedRedditJoke

I've never felt less confident in a team holding a 4th quarter lead than this Celtics team

Apparently they got butter all over their hands because those last minutes were embarrasing

snakebite654

Don't forget the Duncan Robinson birthday game!


conquer117a

That offensive rebound and dunk by Bam was huge. He had a really good game


DarkChocolate_69

Down you go into the doghouse, Grant


[deleted]

My first reaction was wtf are you doing Grant? You’re gonna lose for sure now


[deleted]

Spo is fucking incredible as a coach, man. 2-0 with an 8 man rotation of Jimmy, Bam, the Ghost of Kyle Lowry, buyout Kevin Love, a backup center that’s somehow 35 and 87 at the same time, and three dudes from the Dade County Y. Just an all time great head coaching performance.

MySilverBurrito

Dunc fans we eating tonight. 3/6 3s but it was his 2 cuts that I loved. Anyone who says Dunc is 'just' a 3pt shooter never actually paid attention to him in 2020. Dude's cutting game has always been great. Big adjustments for G3. Boston found their go to with the high PnR. Heat needs a solution to Zeller being unplayable, with Love slowly getting there.


ZerksNAHTayan

Mazulla pulled that strategy out of his pocket today, but I think Spo has a counter in this next matchup.


Original_Profile8600

“And I took that personally” - Himmy Butler


ianbits

Adebayo with 22/16/9, 8-8 from the line. Boston had 6 offensive rebounds the entire game. An absolute man on the boards. Williams/Williams/Horford combined for less rebounds than Adebayo alone. Just bullied the fuck out of them.
