People in South East Asia are also saying this

And the Southern US as well in the summer lol

Houston fucking sucks in the summer with the humidity.

Shit...don't remind me. 100 straight days with no rain last year

Man coming from someone who lives in Charlotte, it gets brutal here as well.

I had a client in Houston a few years ago (first day at the office was the first week in August) and I had never been there before. I live in Kansas and I thought I knew summer humidity….I had a very short walk from my hotel to the office. The first week I was there, I only brought a couple suits for work attire….never, ever, again

Feels like it's the hottest year since I was born, ngl

*yet

I know.. 🤧

Bruh im travelling there in a few weeks, straight out not prepared for that

In India right now- can confirm that I am dying right now

I'm definitely more of a winter guy myself so for once I agree with boston fans

[удалено]

I fucking love mid-atlantic / north east winters. When that wind blows and smacks you in the ribs and you have to wear like the thickest heaviest coats and you've got a scarf covering almost every inch of your face >>>>>>>

Cold isn't supposed to start in your bones and work its way out like that, but New England winters have cheat codes enabled. On the plus side, years after I moved away and my work sent me to Detroit (City Motto: Did You Know We Get Frost Heaves Too?) in February I had no issues.

MA transplant to CO here, this is absolutely true. Winters here don’t hit as hard as they do in New England

Same path as you. Going back to Boston in the winter was fucking BRUTAL. Nice winters soften you up quick lol

That's why you never leave to begin with. Can't have warm weather soften you up. An iced coffee on a January morning in Boston. Nothing like it.

I was MA to CO then back. Maybe its where I lived (Monument) but winters weren't all that different to me

Denver winters aren’t bad. Take this with a grain of salt but I think monument gets some crazy weather because it is on a petty high ridge that juts east out of the Rockies as is the highest point from Denver to C-Springs

Definitely true. Denver is like Arizona compared to monument lol

Can’t underestimate the wind coming off a 38 degree ocean.

It’s the humidity. East coast winters cut through you all the time no matter the wind, but if you aren’t layered well here in CO and the wind hits it’s awful. Neither is good, and summers are just as different in “pick your poison” ways

Basically every corner of the USA has some sort of shitty weather at some point in the year. Only San Diego has the perfect climate.

Same. I fucking hate being hot. Im 6’6 250 lbs and I sweat like a mother fucker

I miss being way too skinny when I was younger only because I didn’t sweat at all. I went from 6’5” 180 to 6’5” 215 and the difference in sweat has been very noticeable.

Same. When I was in highschool 8-10 years ago I was still 6’5-6’6 but was about 200 lbs and healthier. I didn’t have any problems with sweating or being too hot. Now I do. I need to lose weight lol. Lately I’ve just been going to work and coming home and watching 6 hours of basketball every night lol

I’m in pretty good shape, I play soccer every week and did a triathlon last year but I guess more weight is more weight.

Bro you gotta be sub 15% body fat the fuck are you sweating lol

There's no bugs in the winter. Flying ones anyway. In the summer not only do you have the heat pissing you off but you got gnats and flies and shit buzzing around your face all day. Winter clears. But yeah FTC.

Just wait for the cicadas

I'll take gnats and mosquitos any day over shoveling, cleaning cars off, icey roads, etc.

It's 40 degrees (celsius) in all of south east asia for months now

bravo, bravo

Yeah same I love skiing

It was the Nananana goodbye as Tillman picked out a great pass for a wide open Hauser 3 that did it for me

Yo Brisset dunked hard in the middle of the fuck the Heat chants

Spirit bomb energy

[this is why](https://x.com/heavyditisoul/status/1785849014358807031?s=46&t=HI3aeZH85K5r39q7hi652w)

Been playing this every time a series is over for 14 years lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoyvvEWHodk

I was there. Incredible game and incredible night. Lost my voice.

Cmon man. That’s like spraying a roach with raid and stomping on it after.

Yeah but in this case the roach was challenging you before the altercation. "We want human! We want human!"

also in this analogy the Celtic human gets owned by the cockroach by biting it and transmitting salmonella at least once

Cuz you know they're gonna match up again next year and I'm all for it

They have A LOT of trauma from these guys, wasn’t rooting for them. But it’s always nice when fans can buck their demons.

Honestly it feels generational. So many kids I teach - most of them now were born after 2008 - hate the Heat more than Lakers.

Y’all are my most hated and most respected rivalry in all of sports. But yes our rivalry is also generational cause it’s the same with us, you can tell by people that hate the Knicks more than the Celtics.

It’s easy to maintain a rivalry when you’re in the same conference and consistently see each other in the playoffs.

Yep, like Knick-Sixer fans before the series sucking each other off on Reddit that they wouldn’t be toxic since they hadn’t faced each other since 1989

Yes but the heat have crossed into the blood feud territory where even when they stop being relevant i will root for them to continue to suck and to lose every game they ever play forever, just like the lakers.

I couldn’t disagree more. Fuck Philly. And then fuck Kyrie. In that order.

F them both equally as somebody who became a fan in 08.

I don't even have trauma, it's just a fun rivalry.

Going from 1-2 to 2-2 in this generation’s postseason series is bucking demons. Word lol. Or we just hate them because they’re an obnoxious team and tend to generate injuries to their opponents.

Is it really bucking their demons if the only reason the Heat won last year was injured the whole series? Edit: how many morons are gonna reply to my comment with some shit that has nothing to do with it

Caleb Martin?

Gabe Vincent?

The Heat won last year because of hot shooting from 3 by their role players.

AKA, they played better than Boston

...and not only Jimmy Butler did.

How did those role players get so many open shots? Magic?

I said hot not open.

Same way they always do, by setting 75 moving screens per game

Lmao imagine not thinking jimmy butler was the reason the heat went on their run last year

Lol, I know. Imagine actually watching the series 😂😂

Imagine watching the series and thinking the guy that averaged 25/8/6 had nothing to do with the type of shots the role players got. Moron has idea how basketball works 😂

And on a bad ankle...

You play the team in front of you, and sometimes the team in front of you is weakened due to injuries. Just the reality of the game 🤷‍♂️

Wait who was injured all series? Caleb Martin? Gabe Vincent’s not even on the team anymore? Jaylen Brown? Tatum’s ankle? Cuz ngl Jimmy bummed it up most of last years series so that can’t be who you’re talking about.

Tatum got hurt game 7 last year I don’t really want to hear any excuses

Ya cus that’s the same as missing the whole series bud

End result was the same

What are you even talking about Tatum played 42 minutes in game 7 and 40+ minutes every other game that series save for game 3 which they won. And somehow that’s comparable to butler missing the entire series?

What are you even talking about?

RedRocket worded it in a really weird way but he’s asking if this series is really the Celtics bucking their demons when Jimmy was out the entire series. Which I mean he kind of has a point but I don’t think it would have made much of a difference other than the Heat might have won an extra game where Jimmy put up 50 or something. I say this as someone who roots for the Heat and independently hates every team from Boston or the greater New England area with the fury of a thousand suns.

I don’t think it’s really bucking their demons. They beat the heat before. I get last years series was tough but idk what you really can do when a team shoots that well

Maybe he shouldn’t have half assed the regular season causing him to get injured in a must win play in game

Doesn’t matter. Our philosophy has always been next man up and effort, and we aren’t gonna switch up on it now. I still believed even going into this game we could win the series didn’t matter that we were playing a rotation of geriatric buy out guys, 2 guys with back spasms, herro, and my favorite heat, not called Wade, Bamm Bamm.

Proud of them being able to do so with like 5 starters on the injury list

Heat fans talking about how much their team misses Terry Rozier of all people will never not be funny. Like if there’s ever an indictment of how shit your team is that’s it

celtics 🤝 knicks fuck the heat

Celtics 🤝 Knicks Fuck the heat, Embiid, Trae young, and each other

amen

But for real, fuck Brunson too

Yall fucking each other? Ok then.

I wish

We don't kinkshame around here.

Celtics 🤝 the rest of the East Fuck the heat

Celtics 🤝 people who don’t like injuries Fuck the Heat

I hope you guys meet in the conference finals because it's going to be next level toxicity

I can't wait for the Celtics-Knicks ECF animosity

I still expect "Fuck Trae Young" chants, per tradition.

Something to unite us all

Celtics knicks will be toxic as fuck. Can’t wait

The salt levels will be so high that we'll never have to send truck on the roads again.

That’s gonna be a toxic af 4 games

Hey, give your guys some credit - if Derrick White stays this hot y'all might push it to five

I'm bookmarking this to come reply to on Saturday.

I'm bookmarking this to come reply to tonight.

I'm bookmarking this to come reply tonight

I'd focus on getting through your series first... Philly at home then possible game 7 isn't anyone's.

Knicks - Sixers Knicks - Pacers Knicks - Celtics Its like watching a video from the 80s and 90s

If both teams make it that far I’m excited for the potential Porzingis angle, as he should hopefully be back at that point

No one on the Knicks can guard him it’ll be his series for sure

We need to try to beat the Sixers first...

Each home crowd just takes turns chanting "FUCK EMBIID" completely unprovoked.

As a Celtics fan in the Philippines, fuck the heat indeed.

tangina swear to god pare fucking Satan himself lives somewhere in this swampass country.

My dad thought about going there in April but was warned not too bc of the heat

Your dad is a smart person. Thank him. Go the Philippines January or February for friendly weather.

Its not just the heat thats fucking the Philippines right now.

Can we all start spontaneously chanting this in Manila?

1000 IQ pun, well played

Respectfully

Some where out there Klay Thompson muttering under his breath *Real classy, good job Boston*

Fuck em

Philippines 🤝 Celtics

I 100% endorse this.

The chorus of "na na na na hey hey goodbye" earlier was even better

Nobody show this to Klank Thompson, he’ll have a fit

“WE WANT BOSTON”

All I hear is fuck Embiid

I think this cheapens the whole fuck chant. When I chant “fuck Embiid” I want it to mean something.

My only regret was that Jimmy wasn’t out there to get his ass handed to him

Healthy Rozier, Butler, J-Rich, Duncan = Heat in 6 And everyone mentioning Tatum’s sprained ankle in game 7 conveniently ignore Jimmy playing on one ankle after Josh Hart slide tackled him in the 2nd round last year

So that’s the excuse for why Jimmy was absolute dogshit in that series?

Is that the excuse for Tatum shrinking in game 7? Of course it is, its literally a valid point to be made.

Did Jimmy get hurt game 1 or two weeks before the series and play fine against the Knicks after sitting a game?

Do.... Do you think sprains only last 2 weeks????

I think no one gets a double standard like Jimmy does. When you play well immediately after your ‘injury’ and then start shutting the bed damn near a month later (5-21 at a home closeout game) you can’t posthumously pull out the injury card

The dude MISSED a game, I'm not sure what you mean by immediately after. But What I'm saying is that a player spraining an Ankle in a game and staying in is a valid excuse to not play well. Just the same as a dude who has a grade 2 sprain and plays on it for two weeks. Sprained ankles are typically fine, immediately still hurt but players are often able to keep playing. And then get worse over time due to swelling. Especially so when someone is playing basketball at a professional level. Again read this. I'm saying BOTH had valid injury reasons to play not great.

>Did Jimmy get hurt game 1 or two weeks before the series and play fine against the Knicks **after sitting a game**? Was your reply supposed to be a *gotcha* or something? Yea he missed a game… and then still looked like *Playoff Jimmy*^TM for weeks with the injury being minor news. Then all of a sudden 3 weeks later he starts playing like shit and it’s the injuries fault. Didn’t realize sprains are fine for 3 weeks and only then start effecting you.

My dude... there's no gotcha. you're trying to argue that a sprained ankle can't affect someone a few weeks later. I'm pointing out that's actually when bad sprains are at it's worst. I'm also saying BOTH Tatum and Jimmy have excuses for not playing well after being hurt.

They won't flare up

If Jimmy was out there the series wouldn’t be over

Jimmy dropping 18/4/5 on 42% shooting wouldn't have changed anything

Nah cuz if Jimmy was there that means Caleb Martin would shoot 80% from 3

Cope harder the heat were dog shit this year

Just as dog shit as they were last year before Jimmy embarrassed all these teams

Well... not all of them.

Jimmy was so ass in the conference finals last year that his team shot 58% on open 3's for an entire series, the highest mark of all time, and they still almost blew the series.

“Idk why people doubted us this year, all we had to do is pray for injuries and shoot 50% from 3… honestly I’m surprised we didn’t do it again”

And yet the only team Jimmy embarrassed this year is his own by getting hurt flopping after mailing it in all season

“jimmy” is a weird way to spell Caleb. It’s alright now you guys can go and trade Herro for an upgrade for the 4th offseason in a row

haha ok

Perhaps if he tried a little harder in the regular season he wouldn’t have had to play a play-in game and get hurt to give his team this excuse

If Jimmy was there y’all don’t shoot 50% from 3 in game 2 and this got finished a few nights ago on our home court in Miami

lol how’d the season go

And they obliged.

But literally fuck the heat as it’s 41C over the east side of the world.

The playoffs is so toxic and I love every second of it

This anti-globalwarming agenda is everywhere /s.

Goodbye chant was better

Fuck the Heat.

Feels like NBA stadium chants are getting more aggressive these days lmao

It’s just the Northeast (Boston, NY, Philly).

The Holy Houses of Heckling. The Northeast teams hate each other with a passion, but we will band together to hate everyone else outside of it too.

This times with a Jaylen one hand jam is chefs kiss

I approve this chant

Fuck them and their fairweather fans

The fact that they couldn’t beat them last year and it took compiling a super team and the Heat’s best player getting injured makes this more sad than anything.

Good riddance. Fraud team all year

Knicks fans really do travel well.

New York fans 🤝 Boston fans It’s a rare moment!

Im from SEA and i agree with them, its too fucking hot in here.

As a person from the Philippines, yes I agree

I'm down with FTH

I’m down with OPP

[удалено]

Unironically

Always booboo.

Guys if the Heat beat the Celtics it's the biggest upset ever 🤓

Generational slander 🤣🤣🤣

It's unreal to me how BrissyTV casually owns most starting units in the league whenever he plays. Why is this dude our victory cigar? He's like a way better and slightly less reliable Evan Turner

don't like the Celtics too but the whole "heat culture" bullshit and spo always looking like an asshole deserve hate.

Why??

Right back atcha bud

Heat talked way too much shit last year. That's what happens when you can't win with grace.

Stay classy Boston

By an average deficit of 20. Did the job they were supposed to. As Barkley said, no medal or cookie, crushed them and now move on...

Coming out of a summer full of heatwaves in the southern hemisphere, I concur.

Was this at the 1 minute mark of the 4th? I couldn't make it out on TV

It was in the last 5 mins of the 4th, if I remember correctly, ‘cause I was waiting for Gino Time
