It is history either way. When is the last time an 8th seed made the NBA Finals? All things considered, I'll root for the underdog, and Celtics have a huge talent advantage. Go Miami.

You do have a point there.

1999 when the Knicks made the Finals as an 8 seed.

No team has ever came down from a 0-3 deficit in the NBA Playoffs

Still either way it’s pretty impressive.

Butler is playing like he’s scared to take the shot.

He's playing like Josh Hart.

Heat are in trouble if it has to go back to Boston.

If Boston wins the series, let's get Adebayo

Miami Wins = A Denver Sweep

Heat are about to give up the first 3-0 series lead in NBA history. Boston isn't going to lose in Boston. Spoelstra might joining Doc, Budenholzer, Monty, and Nurse in the unemployment line.

And then hire we him right?! Gives baby doll eyes.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The challenge could backfired on Boston.

 

[theprunetang]

This is fucking fun!

Doesn't look scared to me.

 

[HailBlazers]

Buckets!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

FUCKING CRAZY!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

FUCKING CRAZY!

 

[inconceivable]

Boring game

 

[HailBlazers]

Boring game

I prefer defense over 150 to 159

Blazers know bad things happen when you don't box out on the last shot.

 

[B-Roy]

Kiss brown goodbye

 

[Chris Craig]

Nothing easy! We're going to game 7 baby! Nothing easy!

 

[theprunetang]

I'm rooting for Miami, but damn that was a game! That ending though was a complete roller-coaster.

 

[Chris Craig]

Kiss brown goodbye

Yep, not getting him now.

That felt like a very long 3 seconds. I wonder if the clock was started as soon as Smart touched the ball

 

[DDolla]

OMG what a game

 

[Tince]

Kiss brown goodbye

If the trade is dependent on a tip-in by Derrick White, then it wasn't happening in the first place.

 

[Chris Craig]

Some of the contact that passes for fouls is ridiculous.

 

[blazerfan11]

Wouldn't be the first time it's happened.
