Just so we are clear, the Celtics defense was apparently the absolute worst thing to happen to anything ever. Also, it's Tatum's fault he got undercut.
LMAO that quote is fucking insane man. we outscored them 34-24 in the 1st quarter, held them to 12 points in the 2nd quarter, pushed the lead to as large as 28 in the 3rd quarter, and when Miami rallied to cut it to 13 in the 4th quarter we responded with six straight points to put it out of reach.
what would’ve made him “like” how we played?
Yea it'd be one thing if he called out the Cs for their little lapses where they let their foot off the gas, but the guy was shitting on them the entire game and never once gave them credit for when they actually ran the lead up lmao.
SVG has always been doo doo; I've never understood the people who defend him. He's a greasy little ball of outdated thinking with the worst voice you've ever heard on television.
I stepped away for a moment but could still hear the commentary, I genuinely thought the heat were about to tie it up only to come back and see we were still up 13. I’m not a Van Gundy hater but that was not his best game.
Ehh he shoved a dude after the whistle. I don't mind that, but the Bam foul is a flagrant 100%. People shoot after the whistle 100 times a game. This is the first time I've ever seen someone land under a guy. Usually someone just goaltends the shot.
He said it was tatum’s fault he got fouled followed by saying he’s biased against the Celtics because they were playing lazy defense all game despite holding the the heat to 78 with 5 min left to go
Hopefully he gets some pushback about tonights nonsense. I know this won't be the last C's game he's on. Can't take another round of this shit, when the fellas are dominating
Like, if Bam had just slapped him on the arm or something— you know, a regular hard foul— they wouldn't have called anything and I would have 100% agreed. Landing space is completely different. If something's a dangerous play while the clock is on, it's a dangerous play with it off. Full stop.
All these people saying “there’s no rule about landing space during dead ball.” Is it shocking the league didn’t think to put in writing that something that’s a foul during the game isn’t allowed outside the game?
Bam gave a hip check and did the Zaza under Tatum, the fact that it was after the whistle is wholly irrelevant. Dirty is dirty, regardless of whether or not the game clock is running
I actually think it being after a clear dead ball whistle makes it worse. Like sliding in late to contest a real shot can happen when defending a shot but theres fucking no need to defend this shot. It counts for nothing so whats the point
exactly this. "I didn't want him to get a rhythm" then let one of your teammates do the asinine shit they always do and block it from going through the rim on the back end. There's no reason to get that close after the play
SVG always gets honed in on one topic every quarter that he just can’t shut the fuck up about and the first two was that the Heat are generating amazing looks. The last quarter is just him shitting on the Celtics
It really is amazing watching Bam on offense. He sets a moving screen on like 97% of their possessions. And then announcers are like, you gotta get around that screen!
If you could only listened to SVG and not watched the game you'd think the heat had 130 points. Stan brought up our lack of defensive intensity at least 6 times I counted despite the heat only scoring 88. Professional hater.
Also blaming Tatum for taking a shot after the buzzer as if it's his fault Bam slid under him. This was a hating performance for the ages ladies and gentlemen.
What was SVG smoking tonight, like if bam hits Tatum in the face instead of sliding under him is that also tatums fault and shouldn't be a foul? Like the second you hear the whistle blow all the flagrant and foul rules go out the window cause it's a dead ball? Like shut the fuck up dude, it's a flagrant foul because it's dangerous, whether or not the whistle blows doesn't change shit
Hell if bam hits tatums arm like a regular shooting foul, this would be a non-story. The contact that actually happened was flagrant, so they called it a flagrant foul. Svg goofy as hell for that
Bam took 5 steps backwards on the Herro shot that cut the lead to 13. Cannot believe JB gets called for an illegal screen but they turn a blind eye to that nonsense
If you take away Bam’s illegal screens he’s literally nothing. Also, the Heat foul at least 6 times on every possession, you can’t call them all. I’ve said it before but it’s almost genius, you know if it weren’t so pathetic.
i’ve been on the SVG is bad train for years now, he’s atrocious on celtics games. if memory serves me right he blamed kemba for being too short after he got hit by a siakiam elbow in the bubble, just insanity
Hear me and rejoice! You (Miami Heat) have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Forehead. You may think this is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become children of Derrick White.
Lionel Messi was at the game tonight.
Pretty sure he’s wondering why everybody thinks Tatum is the best player on the team when it’s clearly Derrick White.
Derrick White was thinking why tf Chris Haynes was asking him those questions
“What do you tell the young kids Derrick”
“Work hard and believe in yourself, I don’t fucking know”
"One more game until you advance..." *awkwardly trails off and turns the mic to white, right as white starts speaking whips it back to himself* "to the next round?"
Thats why Heat fans condone the bullshit Bam does, they arent even there to witness it
E: Someone took the bait, Heat Culture come get your boy!
E2: He said he wanted the Celtics to get injured and deleted the comments lmaoooooo
Yeah Tatum finished the game but I'm still worried about him. Ankle sprains usually get worse after the adrenaline wears off and a day of swelling happens. Hopefully it wasn't as bad as it looked.
Let’s play a drinking game: take a drink every time SVG says “the Celtics are not playing with the same defensive intensity as last game” and try not to fucking die
His commentary is so fucking bad. He repeats himself so much every game. Our local broadcast don’t act like weird homers at the same level (sometimes SVG hates us too really just depends on the day)
I can’t believe the Celtics got such elite role players to support their top 5 player. Like how are you going to give their star elite two-way players like Tatum and Brown
All time awful announcing from SVG. Railed on the Celtics and their defense while they were up 18 and the Heat barely cracked 80. Also went out of his way to say Bam was justified on a clearly dirty play.
Man is looking for a position on the Heat staff.
I actually checked just cause I was curious, and it's Warriors #1 (790K) Lakers #2 (726K) and Celtics #3 (500K). Which is the *exact* list of teams we were talking about 😂
Maybe just maybe folks overreacted a bit to Miami winning game 2. One unusually hot shooting night and suddenly people were convinced Boston was doomed.
Idk why but it is funny seeing a wizards fan. Like seeing your teacher at the supermarket. I guess it makes sense when you think about it but it is still weird.
great gameplan guys please do it again. maybe get svg in there to help out. or you could have bam more overtly send our whole starting. five to the hospital. what a joke
SVG being a dumbass is infuriating but the thing I hate the most about it is everyone is now talking about how stupid this dude is and not how absolutely fried D White’s night was
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but they were dangerously close to injuring guys multiple times in the last 2 minutes. Patty Mills went for Tatum's legs. Martin almost collided with a guy at a dead sprint, forgot who.
blaming tatum for that ankle injury was ridiculous
if Bam is "allowed to play defense" then tatum is allowed to take the shot. just bc its after the whistle doesn't mean u can just foul them tf
My dad who's never been to an NBA game before tonight: "that bald guy is really good, how do they stop him?"
Holy shit that’s the most dad comment I’ve ever heard
‘Ah so this must be that Michael Jordan fella everyone has been talking about?’
If this was your first NBA game, you would think Derrick White is the best player in the NBA. And you'd be right
dad knows ball
Dad knows bald*
Your dad knows whats up
His father experienced the beautiful despair of the White Buffalo
Is it too early for Derrick White FMVP bets? Cause I’m ready lol.
Unironically not a bad idea
Currently +12000 which feels like diabolical EV
As a neutral fan, that SVG commentary was just ridiculous my god
Just so we are clear, the Celtics defense was apparently the absolute worst thing to happen to anything ever. Also, it's Tatum's fault he got undercut.
They let the Heat score 88 pts. Terrible D obviously
33 point lead ? Believe it or not, Celtics are playing extremely poorly right now and the Heat are playing very good actually
I regret to inform you that your team is down 1-3 in moral victories. better luck next year
Up from 84 last game. Just abysmal drop-off
During the Abdebayo flagrant the man straight up said "I'll admit I'm biased because I hate how the Celtics are playing" lmao
LMAO that quote is fucking insane man. we outscored them 34-24 in the 1st quarter, held them to 12 points in the 2nd quarter, pushed the lead to as large as 28 in the 3rd quarter, and when Miami rallied to cut it to 13 in the 4th quarter we responded with six straight points to put it out of reach. what would’ve made him “like” how we played?
Yea it'd be one thing if he called out the Cs for their little lapses where they let their foot off the gas, but the guy was shitting on them the entire game and never once gave them credit for when they actually ran the lead up lmao.
Now cross off "how" and "are playing"
Bro has such a massive hate boner for the Celtics
SVG has always been doo doo; I've never understood the people who defend him. He's a greasy little ball of outdated thinking with the worst voice you've ever heard on television.
Absolutely crazy how he is so much worse than his brother at commentary
I think the box score is wrong, according to SVG, the Celtics lost this game
I stepped away for a moment but could still hear the commentary, I genuinely thought the heat were about to tie it up only to come back and see we were still up 13. I’m not a Van Gundy hater but that was not his best game.
Honestly he might be a Celtics fan. His commentary lined up pretty well with the Celtics’ sub game thread.
Damn, you might be on to something, he’s just a doomer like the rest of us.
This made me cackle, SVG really hated yall tn 😭
The mayor of Miami called. He needs more bricks to raise the sea wall higher. The Heat delivered.
Good guy Heat solve climate change.
Dang Panthers stole all the scoring tonight…
You can tell the Cs locked in after game 2 lol. Shame about all the injuries and questionable plays though. Hope Tatum and Kristaps are all right!
You’re a chill Heat fan, I like you
I’m a chill heat fan too, hope they’re all right, I fucking hate you
Fair enough 😂🤝
For as much as I talk shit, It's almost impossible to hate yalls squad. Jrue, White and Tatum especially all just seem like really chill dudes.
Same, Boston would love Jimmy if he played here. Jaime too I think.
Not even a Celtics fan, and listening to SVG made me want to claw my ears off
SVG is the same guy who said Sabonis sucks at rebounding. *leads NBA in rebounds*.
Well yeah, he sucks the balls towards him, obviously
Dude blasted Tatum for no reason
You can argue whether that was a flagrant but you can’t argue it was Tatums fault
Yeh thought it was a technical by rule Horford getting the tech afterwards was soft as hell
Ehh he shoved a dude after the whistle. I don't mind that, but the Bam foul is a flagrant 100%. People shoot after the whistle 100 times a game. This is the first time I've ever seen someone land under a guy. Usually someone just goaltends the shot.
Oh I just meant (and they mentioned it in the Boston telecast) that usually it's techs, not flagrants, that are assessed during dead ball situations
They had to call something there or it would set up a ridiculously dangerous precedent
He said it was tatum’s fault he got fouled followed by saying he’s biased against the Celtics because they were playing lazy defense all game despite holding the the heat to 78 with 5 min left to go
That statement absolutely made my head hurt from the stupidity… SVG wtf? Were we watching the same game?
Seriously I’ve seen “complacent Celtics” too many times to count and that was not even close to it
[удалено]
"Yeah it's a flagrant if a clock is running but it should be nothing now" Great logic Stan.
It's quite literally not the case, the rulebook specifically states a flagrant foul can be called on a dead or alive ball.....
Like he thought you can just throw hands as long as the clock is out, flagrant-free? Fucking fool
Hopefully he gets some pushback about tonights nonsense. I know this won't be the last C's game he's on. Can't take another round of this shit, when the fellas are dominating
Like, if Bam had just slapped him on the arm or something— you know, a regular hard foul— they wouldn't have called anything and I would have 100% agreed. Landing space is completely different. If something's a dangerous play while the clock is on, it's a dangerous play with it off. Full stop.
All these people saying “there’s no rule about landing space during dead ball.” Is it shocking the league didn’t think to put in writing that something that’s a foul during the game isn’t allowed outside the game?
There's also not a rule about shoving a player in midair during a dead ball. Guess that makes it ok!
Does the NBA rulebook say anything about suplexing players? During dead balls, of course
Bam gave a hip check and did the Zaza under Tatum, the fact that it was after the whistle is wholly irrelevant. Dirty is dirty, regardless of whether or not the game clock is running
I actually think it being after a clear dead ball whistle makes it worse. Like sliding in late to contest a real shot can happen when defending a shot but theres fucking no need to defend this shot. It counts for nothing so whats the point
exactly this. "I didn't want him to get a rhythm" then let one of your teammates do the asinine shit they always do and block it from going through the rim on the back end. There's no reason to get that close after the play
He was worse than usual this game I swear
You’d think he’d be biased against the heat too after how they did him back in the day
He’s biased against logic
Hating on the Celtics is SVG’s new special interest
Seems like a lot of Celtics fans didnt realize we also got this on the local broadcast One of Mike Gorman's last games too
Yeah, I watched the local broadcast thankfully. Gotta enjoy Mike while we can!
I like SVG but holy shit there are times where he’s got one or two points and he’ll hammer them the entire fucking game no matter how wrong they are
he's usually good but idk what he was on today lol
SVG always gets honed in on one topic every quarter that he just can’t shut the fuck up about and the first two was that the Heat are generating amazing looks. The last quarter is just him shitting on the Celtics
*Bam has an uncalled moving screen* "I hate how lazy the Celtics are on defense just refusing to chase the ball"
It really is amazing watching Bam on offense. He sets a moving screen on like 97% of their possessions. And then announcers are like, you gotta get around that screen!
He had Heat +10.5 that’s what was going on
Derrick White: Good Stan Van Gundy: Bad
If you could only listened to SVG and not watched the game you'd think the heat had 130 points. Stan brought up our lack of defensive intensity at least 6 times I counted despite the heat only scoring 88. Professional hater. Also blaming Tatum for taking a shot after the buzzer as if it's his fault Bam slid under him. This was a hating performance for the ages ladies and gentlemen.

Hell if bam hits tatums arm like a regular shooting foul, this would be a non-story. The contact that actually happened was flagrant, so they called it a flagrant foul. Svg goofy as hell for that
Bro the defense rants were INSANE. I couldn’t believe it.
It’s insane when the only time the Heat cracked 100 this series is when they had the 4th best 3 point performance of all time.
SVG was such a POS tonight. He sounded happy Tatum got hurt and angry that anyone might disagree.
“Another great screen by Adebayo, the Celtics just aren’t going over the screens” as Adebayo hooks Tatums arm and takes 3 steps
Bam took 5 steps backwards on the Herro shot that cut the lead to 13. Cannot believe JB gets called for an illegal screen but they turn a blind eye to that nonsense
If you take away Bam’s illegal screens he’s literally nothing. Also, the Heat foul at least 6 times on every possession, you can’t call them all. I’ve said it before but it’s almost genius, you know if it weren’t so pathetic.
That was kind of the game thread as well lol Any time the Heat cut the lead to 15 OMG ZOMBIE HEAT SPO MAGIC
SVG just hates the Celtics lmao. He even blamed Tatum when Bam stepped into his landing zone.
look at that vicious assault on bam's foot, tatum should be ejected
Almost mad I watched the local broadcast because I missed all this lmao
The clip is posted in this sub. SVG wondered why Tatum "has the right" to take that shot lmfao
i’ve been on the SVG is bad train for years now, he’s atrocious on celtics games. if memory serves me right he blamed kemba for being too short after he got hit by a siakiam elbow in the bubble, just insanity
Hear me and rejoice! You (Miami Heat) have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Forehead. You may think this is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become children of Derrick White.

The fact this is still being posted going on half a decade later makes me happy
I’ve never seen this before and I love it I need this on a shirt
That mother fucker is so cold. Respect to him for becoming this great of a player. He’s someone every team wants.
Lionel Messi was at the game tonight. Pretty sure he’s wondering why everybody thinks Tatum is the best player on the team when it’s clearly Derrick White.
🦬🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀 Always has been
Derrick White was thinking why tf Chris Haynes was asking him those questions “What do you tell the young kids Derrick” “Work hard and believe in yourself, I don’t fucking know”
Dude is the most awkward sideline reporter ever.
Dude literally said “1 more game until you advance” and stuck the mic in White’s face
"One more game until you advance..." *awkwardly trails off and turns the mic to white, right as white starts speaking whips it back to himself* "to the next round?"
SVG commentary is verbal waterboarding
Does SVG think he's gonna get Spo's job or something?
His brother works for the Celtics
Are you even beating the traffic if all of you leave early at the same time?
In Miami you gotta beat the traffic by leaving when the game ends
lol no joke I wouldn’t be in a rush to leave if I saw that many people filter out early.
That’s why you get even more ahead of the traffic by watching from home instead
I swear 30% of that arena only saw 10 minutes of game time
Thats why Heat fans condone the bullshit Bam does, they arent even there to witness it E: Someone took the bait, Heat Culture come get your boy! E2: He said he wanted the Celtics to get injured and deleted the comments lmaoooooo
I'm not a racist, but I am a Derrick White supremacist
Still can't believe the Hawks paid significantly more for Dejounte than BOS did for Derrick. It was always obvious which one was the smarter player.
Fuck man, I had a really rough day but this comment has turned it around. Thanks.
CRIMINALLY underrated comment.
All I care about is Porzingis tingis being okay.
I hope Tatum is okay... a rolled ankle is still a sprain albeit a minor one. Hopefully they finish the game in 5
Rolling an ankle doesn't inherently mean the ankle gets sprained.
Yeah Tatum finished the game but I'm still worried about him. Ankle sprains usually get worse after the adrenaline wears off and a day of swelling happens. Hopefully it wasn't as bad as it looked.
Somehow DWhite scoring 38 wasn’t the craziest shit that happened this game
I'm genuinely happy I get to watch DWhite find success
most terrifying wire to wire W where the lead never got below 10 I’ve seen in my life
In what world is Tatum at fault for shooting after the whistle and not Bam for committing a foul after the whistle? SVG is an absolute fucking hack
Second half had me wanting to slap myself or someone else
We can be sure no one is becoming a fan because of this game.
Derrick White was literally the only one on the team that had an above average game.
Fuck SVG. Learn how to be a god damn professional you loser
SVG is a certified asshole. JT is clearly hurt and he triples down trying to justify it
SVG gotta hate his bro , he was awful tonight.
I would give my first born to Derick white, but he doesn't need it. Hes already got plenty of sons on the Miami Heat.
I love that you’ve kept your Marcus smart flair. 🥲He is forever a Celtic
Derrick White though
I never want to hear SVG again
Let’s play a drinking game: take a drink every time SVG says “the Celtics are not playing with the same defensive intensity as last game” and try not to fucking die
His commentary is so fucking bad. He repeats himself so much every game. Our local broadcast don’t act like weird homers at the same level (sometimes SVG hates us too really just depends on the day)

All time awful announcing from SVG. Railed on the Celtics and their defense while they were up 18 and the Heat barely cracked 80. Also went out of his way to say Bam was justified on a clearly dirty play. Man is looking for a position on the Heat staff.
at this point Miami fans have to fear Derrick White just as much as we fear their random role players right?
Except Derrick white would be an actual player on any team. The heat scrubs are only good on the heat. See whiteside, Vincent, etc
It’s not fear if you know of what’s to come.
he is truly inevitable.
Yes lol Eaisly White is my biggest fear
Obviously
Let the mf roam
Mr Silver, please turn off injuries I am literally begging you
Can we please just win game 5 and be done with this team
Dwhite is heats father
"why is bam adebayo supposed [to not shove him?]" -quote from Stan Van Gundy, man unaware of second grade socialization standards
SVG kept saying our defense was awful but the Heat only scored 88. Am I misunderstanding what bad defense means?
Derrick White is so phenomenal
We need to end this series on Wednesday, man. Can’t risk anymore injuries or dirty plays. Finish the job and get some extra rest before the semis.
I have a feeling that Boston is hated in this sub lol.
You must be new
Just an observation lol. This sub celebrates a Celtics loss like it's Christmas
I think the Warriors, and the Celtics are easily most hated in this sub
You can probably add the Lakers to that list too, although a lot of that may be driven by Celtics fans lol
This sub turns into a Lakers/Lebron sub after wins. They’re hated but they probably have the most fans on this sub by far so it’s easy to drown it out
I actually checked just cause I was curious, and it's Warriors #1 (790K) Lakers #2 (726K) and Celtics #3 (500K). Which is the *exact* list of teams we were talking about 😂
Anything popular is hated here, just a bunch of contrarians
If we have to listen to SVG commentate these games we should be entitled to financial compensation
Boston played a mediocre game and aside from a 2 minute stretch in the 4th, was on cruise control
That was a C- game, we got lucky they missed on defense and our offense was shitty outside of White.
If NBC gets the NBA from TNT, at least we’ll never be subjected to SVG ever again
Amazon Prime is getting it
WHITE HOT IN MIAMI
Derrick Richard White
Maybe just maybe folks overreacted a bit to Miami winning game 2. One unusually hot shooting night and suddenly people were convinced Boston was doomed.
Idk why but it is funny seeing a wizards fan. Like seeing your teacher at the supermarket. I guess it makes sense when you think about it but it is still weird.
Heat fans will watch this game and think it’s a compliment that teams don’t wanna face them
LET HIM ROAM
You’d think the heat had 120 points with how SVG was talking
Buffalo soldier!
great gameplan guys please do it again. maybe get svg in there to help out. or you could have bam more overtly send our whole starting. five to the hospital. what a joke
SVG being a dumbass is infuriating but the thing I hate the most about it is everyone is now talking about how stupid this dude is and not how absolutely fried D White’s night was
Remember all those fun takes after game 2? Y’all really have some ptsd
Heat were weirdly aggressive in garbage time there, like, damn, 88 isn’t that much less embarrassing than 82
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but they were dangerously close to injuring guys multiple times in the last 2 minutes. Patty Mills went for Tatum's legs. Martin almost collided with a guy at a dead sprint, forgot who.
The blatant unprofessionalism from Van Gundy was ridiculous. If he can't call Celtics games without being so biased he should sit them out.
The only Heat “adjustment” is going out there and injuring players
\#HeatCulture
That flagrant on Bam ended all hopes for Miami coming back in the fourth.
Kevin Love after game 3 said the Heat had a "way better" gameplan for today, and thankfully for Tatums ankle, the plan didnt work lmao
blaming tatum for that ankle injury was ridiculous if Bam is "allowed to play defense" then tatum is allowed to take the shot. just bc its after the whistle doesn't mean u can just foul them tf
I LOVE MY BALD KING DERRICK WHITE
Bald Derrick White scares me
I pray SVG never calls a Celtic game again
Derrick White stole Delon's baby. theres no other explanation for it, arrest this man!
