Kenny The Gerbil and Shaq definitely are rooting for the Heat (as is Reggie). I think Chuck wants the Celtics to win (I would guess he has some $ on the Celtics)
You know Barkley took Celtics to win the series @0-3. Odds were probably great.

The Gamethread forum name here puts a smile on my face every time I see it. And if Rocco wasn't dead, that game might've killed him. At the very least, wherever he is, he has had to get a few replacement TV remotes. But I also like to think he's been our good luck charm... and damn have we needed it.
Always big ups to Rocco.

I wasn’t sure he beat the buzzer. Credit the refs—who had a very bad night—for getting it right on the floor.

both benches seemed to know, you can see on the replay.

It’s kind of amazing that these TNT guys are still all in on the Heat after this game. I would be completely fucking shocked if that team can rebound

A Lost Time
Charles is entertaining, but his analysis is all over the place. he said that Boston could not win if they don’t hit their threes and they had total control of this game until the last few minutes. Now he thinks that Miami‘s going to go up to Boston and win a game seven at the losing three games in a row.
After this ending, the psychological effect it may have and assuming that the 3 point % regresses to normal for the Celtics, my working assumption is that the Celtics win easily. But that's why they play the games.

The reason I said that a couple of days ago, I said that the Celtics are going to need to win a nailbiter is my assumption that at some point they were going to have an off shooting night and they will need to grind out the result in some other way.

Boston similarly screwed up with a two point lead late in a Philly loss.

Gotta tighten up their crunch time play. They almost gave away this game, like they almost did in Game 7 last year

They are the worst starfuckers of them all and Jimmy is the hot shit this postseason and of course nobody can ever admit they were wrong.

With the benefit of hindsight I’m glad they almost blew it and instead ripped their guts out at the death. Let them think about that box out for the next 45 hours.

It'll be really easy for the hot take machine to remember miamis late run and say the Celtics got lucky or some shit. But the Celtics absorbed a bunch of Miami punches all night but never folded. I hope that doesn't get lost. That was a tough tough game.
Playing 4 straight elimination games must be like Everest without oxygen.
