[@IvanDjuric300]

Miami are unpredictable. You never know where the ball will go. That’s such a powerful trait to have as a team.

[@FlyAwayChi]

Kyle Lowry lost weight and is healthy now...That makes the Heat so much dangerous 🔥🔥 🔥

[@rickyt5179]

“...6 Miami players with at least 15 points” 👀

Himmy Butler is the definition of "Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"

[@memonomoto7419]

Himmy is a phenomenal talent though. But I get your point. Extremely hard worker on both ends of the floor. Man he really is Jimmy Jordan

[@KrisGarland]

Sixers really let butler leave 🤦‍♂️

[@3lastname390]

I was going to say the same with the wolves. But that organization gave Utah a superstar package for Gobert. Who punch a teammate and got himself suspended from a crucial play in game. Their BS made the best defender on their team decided to punch a concert wall breaking his hand.... Letting Jimmy go is normal there

[@calioumarx4289]

Don't remind philly76ers fans Jimmy butler used to play for them they gone have sleepless sad night 😴

[@OLAOnlyLegendzAllowed]

JIMMY "FRICKIN" BUCKETS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@eliezeririzarry247]

Even Kevin Harlan said it on that crazy shot-clock beating 3 lol

[@arlenterrell1036]

Crazy how we beat the media, celtics and refs. This game was so one side in calls. Tatum had 2 fouls and looses the ball fall to ground and kicks martin. Then just minutes later charges wt no call and all the other bad calls. This was great

[@gsheverything_2716]

@6:47 look at those handshakes, that's how in sync we are right now 🏀🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥

[@Minimal444]

If Lakers and Heat make it to the finals, it is gonna be hilarious, 7th seed vs 8th seed.

[@joytibet8975]

Losing the first game home Mentally is tough to handle. But great game from the heat Outstanding engagement and performance. Please do not kill the game at game 2

[@STECHGUY]

JT was scoring, they weren't giving him the ball in the 4th. Close games they need to play through him when he's on point...

[@uchgamerx]

Jimmy Cooks is the definition of a "bracket buster" You cannot bet against him these playoffs oh my god 😱

[@StephonPervez-nw4bp]

The one thing I like about the heat.. They play hard at home and away.. Jimmy buckets treats every arena like it's home court...

[@user-fl2np5ut3m]

Chuck asking who was the Heat 3rd best player.. they showed him four who scored 15pts each..

[@krishnakalidindi578]

Jimmy butler has about 10000 fingerprints on that basketball.💥

[@seansmith6372]

Unbelievable what the heats are doing with 2 play in games absolutely amazing

[@spitzrealist86]

Lmao they was laughing at Shaq for picking the heat 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sde12345]

I remember before the playoffs started Chuck said Miami sucked 😂

[@kevo212]

outplayed and outcoached, Jimmy is the man!

[@ryukodanhotmail]

Many people were thinking of a sweep, it is still possible 😂😂

[@nkaloyanov]

I think, Coach Spo is one of the smartest people in the NBA. Heat are obviously smaller and tighter than the best teams in the league. But they compensate with huge adaptability. Eric knows the strengths and weaknesses of all teams, and exploits them to the maximum. The Heat try to minimize errors and utilize their kit. KL said it in one interview - Heat don't want to choke in the paint. And we clearly saw that with Bam. He was comfortable shooting mid-rangers from open spots. There's no rushing. If needed, players make an extra pass or two. When I watched Celtics, they were playing their game. High pace, lots of shots, quick decisions. And this was the biggest trap. Heat players had few more days to rest. Instead of going toe-to-toe, they tried to minimize their losses in the first half. I'm damn sure Spo knew that Boston will try to open a big gap, so they don't have to waste much energy later on, and "cruise", much like Denver did against Lakers (although it was quite nervous at the end). I'm 95% sure that Boston will win game 2. They can't afford to lose it, as they'll hand Miami an opportunity for an easy sweep. On the other hand, Heat will try to preserve energy in game 2, as they did with Milwaukee and Knicks.

[@TheFloridian5]

So Boston’s coach responded by saying do nothing wrong at all and we’ll win.

[@jermaineburgess3767]

He's horrible

[@franzzzzz250]

that's what I got 😄 bro read the whole laundry list

[@s_ame1135]

So basically they have to play perfect against a 3% odds team to win.

[@esimms5101]

Other than Shaq it’s no shock the coverage is about how the celtics can get better and not how good the heat are.

[@arkinsam7733]

as a raptors fan, i am rooting for Lowry and the heat. Jimmy is a different beast during playoffs.

[@ehmp-gl7yn]

The Celtics have a better roster than last year but they got worse, especially defensively. They had no business losing two games to the Hawks and three to the Sixers. Obviously something dysfunctional going on, or just the coaching staff not being good enough

[@Jaydamd]

well said, worse defensively and worse coached. That's two huge negatives vs arguably the best coach in the league (let's say #2 with respect to Pop) and the best player in the series. This matchup isn't as lopsided as pundits claimed.Heat- 3% chance to win, lol what joke.

[@kennyeng6734]

I feel the coaching staff doesn't fit with the team. The coach is too young, Al Harford is older than the coach lol

[@manofwisdom2023]

Its the coach

[@jumpstreet2425]

Sixers should have beat them

[@taesang5664]

said the same thing. heat lost to the hawks too and that’s why you don’t want to be in a play-in situation. anything could happen. but in a series?? goddamn if your opposing team’s star is 6ft trae young you better sweep them 😭😭

[@TrainEatSleepRPT]

Bostons 50/50 percentage at home is because teams like playing in Boston because of the negativity from the fans… and teams like Miami will thrive from that.

[@debp1411]

Man heat came to play - last year would have love to seen butler make that 3 and maybe my dubs going to finals with these guys ❤❤❤❤ looking forward to Miami Nuggets finals

[@jay-jay8191]

Celtics gotta stop turning the ball over. Tatum hesitating to take the 3's n got a traveling is such a weird play. so much more pressure for Celtics to win game 2 now.

[@greenladylalaland4222]

Great game both teams

[@dilly2023]

Love this team! 🎉
