He was awesome. Butler, not so much. OAITW r.2.0 May 2023 #5
Butler will go off for over 40 in game 7 but he may not get enough help for a Miami W chicoescuela May 2023 #7

Yeah, Butler made the plays in the last 2 minutes, but he did not look great for most of the game. Martin and Vincent kept the Heat in the game, IMHO.

I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time a Boston team won after down 3-0.

Just, my goodness, what an instant classic of a game, especially that whole sequence on each team’s last possession, insane.

But the Celts need to seal the deal in the Garden Monday night....honestly, I thought it was over with 3 seconds left. The basketball gods decided there should be a game 7.

This has to be a huge deflator for Miami. They could have swept the Celts at home in 4, but couldn't do it. They were .1 second away from winning this game and couldn't do it. A comeback in Boston will not be easy for them...

There was literally nobody to keep him from getting to the rim.
If he's guarded head up, even if he beats his man, it takes that 0.1 seconds (and more) off the clock.
I think Spoelstra made a bad decision on that coverage.

Assuming it works out this way, it will be an epic win. Hope Bill Russell and John Havlicek have front row seats to watch tonight!

The Heat could have mailed it in, but they played fiercely and deserved the win and the series. Oh well....off the Fenway Park Saturday to meet up with the family....should be fun!
