Two things: Don't these guys know the refs have to call it good in order to review it? And every member of the 04 Sox needs an invite to the Garden Monday night!

So, basically, Jaylen didn’t want the TV crew to write the story so he intervened? Is that what happened here?
Sometimes instead of a post-game interview with the sideline reporter if the stage is close to the court in that building they ask if a player is willing to go up to the set to talk with the guys... most teams have a guy who wants to, because... well TV, also hall of fame players guys like

D White with two gigantic threes in the 4th plus the game winning tip.

He’s our DJ, doing whatever the team needs to win

Pretty sure that isn't the case anymore, they auto-review all clock violation shots, only thing it matters for is coach's challenges.

Kenny “The Gerbil” Smith doesn’t know the rules either. Luckily Ernie Johnson does

I want to know. Was this is what it was like when Bird and Hondo stole the fucking balls? I know this is like the total opposite of what the play was but you know the MOTHERFUCKIN' elation?
Don't forget the most important steal in Celtics history : Henderson game 2 1984 finals (celts go down 2-0 if he doesn't make that steal)

Glad they won a grinder and won it shooting poorly to kind of take care of a couple narratives heading into G7.

Thought they had just run out of gas, it’s a fucking grind to play backs against the wall like this for 12 straight quarters.

But now it’s even and Miami blew their load, they are going to sleep like shit.

Kenny wants to change the rules

Lmao
The response to Ernie chuckle fucking him about not knowing the rules “well why didn’t they call a hook there. If you’re going to call everything why not call the hook”

real intelligent there Kenny

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.

Why did Joe bench Time Lord last few minutes? I know he doesn’t give much offensively but they still had the lead and Jimmy was doing nothing. They put Al on him and he puts Heat ahead on the two fouls.

Spo just guaranteed a win too. Him and Jimmy aren’t great at guarantees. Celtics roll

Strus and Robinson really can't do anything but shoot.
Before the play, SVG said Strus has gotta stay with White. He might've been talking shot, but still.....

Pretty much the whole team needs to be way better. We dodged an incredible bullet in a bad shooting performance tonight
The C's are 8-1 when facing elimination over the past 2 seasons. And a lot of those wins are on the road.

Yeah, they shouldn't have gone down 0-3, but it's hard to win in the playoffs, it's hard to win on the road in the playoffs, it's hard to keep winning with your backs against the wall. It won't always be pretty, and won't always be a blowout. Early in the Pats run, there was a lot of ugly 16-13 type wins, you take them and move on.

Shouldn’t get lost in the late madness that the Celtics played a damn good grindy game for like 44.5 minutes. While it feels like they stole one, it required Miami stealing it first. Celtics deserved the win.
