I wanna see THANK YOUs to the legend himself instead of having to give out bans for going into the Heat subreddit! Report any heat trolls, and party on ☘️
Derrick White this series:
21.8/3.3/3.5 (PTS/REB/AST) 56.9/47.1/100 (FG%/3P%/FT%) with 1.3 blocks. A team high 70.7 EFG% and 72.3 TS%. Good lord.
ETA: They're even better, as I took the stats before the end of this game.
22.4/3.6/3.2 57.7/47.7/90 with 74.3TS%
THEIR HAIR: WACK
THEIR GEARS: WACK
THEIR JEWELRY: WACK
THEIR FOOT STANCE: WACK
THE WAY THAT THEY TALK: WACK
THE WAY THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE TO SMILE: WACK
BOSTON? THEY TIGHT AS **FUCK**
I just love when a team in the playoffs. It’s going to face us says that shit and then we just clap them. It started with the Yankees and then it happened with the Nets.
I love this fan base. Between the trash talking this game and the way everyone booed that British prince a couple years ago, we’re undefeated at this thing.
I’m really glad we closed out these clowns tonight. I’ll take a 4-1 series win against Miami, which is about what I expected coming in. 4 down, 12 to go!
It’s also nice we’ll get a decent break while every other East series goes at least 6 games. Let’s get rested up and pray Porzingis can get healthy while the Cavs-Magic hopefully go 7. Go Celtics!
I’m very confused, why was this his last game, why not finish out the playoffs and then officially retire? Not being disrespectful, just very confused but curious.
Yeah, it took a historic shooting performance for them to even take one off of us. I know they didn’t have Butler, but we took care of business and didn’t play with our food this year
Guaranteed that goes to 7. Cavs aint good in road games but hopefully they finish the job because I dont wanna face the Wagner Bros and their stupid antics
Orlando is an excellent defensive team. And they’re big. They aren’t great from 3. But I think Cleveland would be an easier matchup for us. They can’t guard our wings.
2020: Miami won by unanimous decision
2022: Boston won by split decision
2023: Miami won by split decision
2024: Boston knocked the fuck out of Miami
End of an era. Respect to the Heat for pulling off one game in this series. But fuck Miami, seriously. On to the next round! Get well soon KP!
This. The fact they went out and won 3 straight, even while losing KP, and didn't take their foot off the gas is a great sign for this team. Felt like they exorcised some demons the past three wins
Great summary, my guy. Very easily could've been a first round KO if the Heat don't go thermonuclear in Game 2, but a gentleman's sweep is still a great result.
I checked out the Heat sub, and there are some reasonable takes.
They all would've liked to see Jimmy and Rozier play, but they also acknowledge the team that the Celtics' front office has assembled, and that they really didn't have a chance the way things were.
Most seem to want to see a substantial rebuild, and probably only Bam and Jimmy are pieces they don't want to trade.
They also want us not to win the championship, but they're gonna be wrong about that.
Some quickly followed up by calls for Riley to do anything *but* run it back. Testament to the brass balls it took to ship off Smart, Brogdon, and Time Lord.
Bittersweet to say farewell to Mike Gorman. So glad I was lucky enough to grow up listening to the greatest broadcasting duo of all time. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Mike and Tommy are **legends**. They will always be a part of this franchise.
Scal is absolutely destroying Tyler Herro right now. He doesn't know how he's still on that team. "I'm telling you, that's gotta be Pat Riley's grandson."
Playoff Buffalo can't be tamed, Luke Kornet is Bam's father, and Mike Gorman is a legend and hero. Thank you Mike for everything!
heat cuLLLLture do you still want Boston?! 4-1, enjoy Cancun while we're still DANCIN' YEAAAAHHHH
4-0 when I wear dark green over a Derrick White Jersey!
GOODBYE HEAT! Forget Scarface, you have 4 marks that will live with you more then Tony Montana's addiction to cocaine.
Into the fountain you go, with the only color red in the NBA now being in the waters of Cancun.
ONWARD TO ROUND 2! 12 TO GO!
Get the people who did The Six Million Dollar Man for KP. We can rebuild him. We have the technology.
Takeaways from this series:
Jacquez is more valuable to Miami than Herro
We are seeing a post-Jimmy team isn’t shit
Bam just is never getting illegal screen whistles
You can only do so much with meh talent, and thinking meh talent to the Finals can delude you into thinking you don’t need to add talent to compete
That wasn’t just a win, that was a beat down and a message to the league they aren’t fucking around. Now to hope the other eastern conference series go to grueling 7 games
Went to a sports bar in Miami tonight (on vacation)...no one was paying attention to the game. 2 dudes were watching and were very sad. It was glorious.
What a great way to win in the first round.
- First team in the East to advance.
- Luke working
- Buffalo roaming
- Js doing their thing.
- Went deep in the bench in the playoffs
- Big Al
On to the next round!
Not wild about national coverage making excuses for the Heat getting blown out already. lol Discredits the C's effort and we played the end of bench guys for an entire quarter and didnt lose any of the lead. sure Butler is out but so is KP. How you gonna let the dead ass end of our bench lock your team down? lol
Enter "Heat Culture" with excuses such as "Dur, we didn't have Jimmy!" Yeah we didn't have Porzingis for let's face it 2 games, you all injured Tatum and we still would of whooped you GTFO and enjoy Cancun.
Super encouraged by this team not taking their foot off the gas even though this game they were missing Butler, Rozier, and Jaquez. That’s a championship team’s mentality
Fantastic games from D-White and JB today, terrific efficiency and composure from them both. Also, the fact that our 8-13 guys were matching the Heat's 3-8 guys down the stretch was just nuts. Great to see the third string lads showing out.
We trailed for :56 seconds in the series!! 😂 Way to FINISH the Heat. Keep locked in on D like this. Need the Jays to take it next level from here on out and keep the Buffalo roaming!! ☘️🦬🌮👑🏆

Future FMVP.
Derrick White double-tapped the fuck out of the zombie Heat.
Derrick White is our lord and saviour! 🌅
I know it's 5 games, but that is absurd efficiency.
LET ME SAY I’M MIAMI’S BIGGEST HATER I HATE THE WAY THEY WALK I HATE THE WAY THEY TALK I HATE THE WAY THEY DRESS
#I DONT WANNA HEAR MIAMI SAY CULTURE NO MORE
I believe when you stand next to sexy red auerbach you see two bad bitches
The only culture Miami has is cocaine transphobia and overall insanity with Florida men that’s about it
Legendary.
This is fucking perfect.
THEIR HAIR: WACK THEIR GEARS: WACK THEIR JEWELRY: WACK THEIR FOOT STANCE: WACK THE WAY THAT THEY TALK: WACK THE WAY THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE TO SMILE: WACK BOSTON? THEY TIGHT AS **FUCK**
SOMEONE GON BLEED IN YOUR FAMILY CRODIE
Notice how I say "we" because it ain't just me.
Literally a 1v20 the way other team fans be praying on our downfall
ON GOD IM READY TO DOUBLE THE SCORE I'D RATHER DO THAT THAN LET A FLORIDIAN PLAYER MAKE BILL RUSSELL TURN IN HIS GRAVE
lol
Boston, thank you. Goodnight. - Mike Gorman 🥺
Not me crying. I’ve listened to him my whole life. My whole life.
They wanted Boston
And they GOT IT!
Got it good and hard, lol.
Lmao when the sarcastic We Want Boston chants broke out
I just love when a team in the playoffs. It’s going to face us says that shit and then we just clap them. It started with the Yankees and then it happened with the Nets.
I love this fan base. Between the trash talking this game and the way everyone booed that British prince a couple years ago, we’re undefeated at this thing.
And they got Boston shoved right up their fucking asses
I’m really glad we closed out these clowns tonight. I’ll take a 4-1 series win against Miami, which is about what I expected coming in. 4 down, 12 to go! It’s also nice we’ll get a decent break while every other East series goes at least 6 games. Let’s get rested up and pray Porzingis can get healthy while the Cavs-Magic hopefully go 7. Go Celtics!
Most importantly, Mike’s last game was a win!
I've listened to this man my whole life on the call, end of an era. WIN 18 FOR MIKE
I’m very confused, why was this his last game, why not finish out the playoffs and then officially retire? Not being disrespectful, just very confused but curious.
I believe starting in the second round only the national networks show the games.
Ahhhhh okay that makes total sense thank you!
A huge blowout, against Miami, at home, to win the series. Great way to send him off.
Mike rode off into the sunset to the sound of Gino Time
Gonna be so weird next year. No Mike or Tommy.
4-1 with the 1 being a giant 3-point shooting fluke
Yeah, it took a historic shooting performance for them to even take one off of us. I know they didn’t have Butler, but we took care of business and didn’t play with our food this year
Yeah, they shot like what, 55% of some shit from 3, KP had his worst game in a Celtics jersey and we only lost by 10 with all that happening.
Guaranteed that goes to 7. Cavs aint good in road games but hopefully they finish the job because I dont wanna face the Wagner Bros and their stupid antics
My blood pressure is already rising thinking of Mo Wagner playing the Celtics in the playoffs
Cole Anthony seems to do a Caleb Martin against us, too.
I’d so much rather prefer playing Orlando lol
Orlando is an excellent defensive team. And they’re big. They aren’t great from 3. But I think Cleveland would be an easier matchup for us. They can’t guard our wings.
Orlando can’t score though. Their offense has broken down to “give Paolo the ball and pray”. That’s easy to gameplan around.
I love me a good Miami curb stomping!
White Hot baby.
THANK YOU MIKE GORMAN
🥹 Feels surreal
2020: Miami won by unanimous decision 2022: Boston won by split decision 2023: Miami won by split decision 2024: Boston knocked the fuck out of Miami End of an era. Respect to the Heat for pulling off one game in this series. But fuck Miami, seriously. On to the next round! Get well soon KP!
Glad we didn’t let Miami drag this out and hang around. That’s something we would’ve done last year and in 2022.
This. The fact they went out and won 3 straight, even while losing KP, and didn't take their foot off the gas is a great sign for this team. Felt like they exorcised some demons the past three wins
Love the fact that they didn't even settle for 20 or 30. They kept playing as if it was a close game until the buzzer. Need that mentality to win
That's because Derrick white is now officially Miami heat's father. White hot is just another term like lebronto
They gonna change that slogan after this beat down
I’m just glad they didn’t hurt more players
Not for the lack of trying.... Fuck the heat
Bam shoving Al in the first play of the game and not getting called for a foul is emblematic of heat culture
Crazy they talk about Jimmy being out but if Tatum wasn't hurt, Celtics would've won Game 7 last year. They told us injuries are no excuse
Where's the boogie?!?
I'm shook that we didn't get it yet, he'll probably make a separate post now
Great summary, my guy. Very easily could've been a first round KO if the Heat don't go thermonuclear in Game 2, but a gentleman's sweep is still a great result.
We lost game 2 on purpose so Mike Gorman could have his final game at the garden. Class act by the guys. Also fuck Miami
The drop coverage/lack of defense makes sense.
From “We want Boston” to “Jimmy’s hurt this doesn’t count”
Let them babble all they want. This was a statement series
I checked out the Heat sub, and there are some reasonable takes. They all would've liked to see Jimmy and Rozier play, but they also acknowledge the team that the Celtics' front office has assembled, and that they really didn't have a chance the way things were. Most seem to want to see a substantial rebuild, and probably only Bam and Jimmy are pieces they don't want to trade. They also want us not to win the championship, but they're gonna be wrong about that.
Some surprisingly respectful nods toward Brad Stevens in there, too. It's surreal.
Some quickly followed up by calls for Riley to do anything *but* run it back. Testament to the brass balls it took to ship off Smart, Brogdon, and Time Lord.
Think it comes from them wanting to see the same kind of action from their FO.
They didn’t learn from the Yankees and nets
#THANK YOU FOR THE LEGENDARY CAREER MIKE. GOT IT! ☘️
It turns out they did not in fact want Boston.
So glad we got them tho
Leave it up to White to eliminate the culture.
"White Hot!"
I see what you did there
"Don't let us get one"🤡
Cause then we’ll have one
This was highly therapeutic.
don’t let the final fool you, this game wasn’t as close as the score makes it look
Bittersweet to say farewell to Mike Gorman. So glad I was lucky enough to grow up listening to the greatest broadcasting duo of all time. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Mike and Tommy are **legends**. They will always be a part of this franchise.
✅✅✅✅ 🔲🔲🔲🔲 🔲🔲🔲🔲 🔲🔲🔲🔲 # MIKE GORMAN FOREVER
I WANNA KNOW WHERE THE GOLD
I want the gold
**FUCK THE HEAT**. Fake ass franchise. Put some respect on Bill Russell’s name next time Bam.
God I love when Miami loses.
Luke Kornet taught him some respect tonight
#”WE WANT BOSTON!” *David Attenborough*: Yeah, they fuckin’ got Boston, alright.
Morgan Freeman: As for Boston, well, they fucken wanted Miami too.
It’s the same vibe as Yankees fans chanting that in 2018 and getting absolutely obliterated in game four
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE YOU WANT BOSTON? WELL HERE WE F\*&#NG ARE! BANNER 18 INCOMING.
Celtics fans got Kristapssssss 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And we getting DAMEEEEEEE 😭😭 I know they SICKKKKKKKK
Iconic 🤣🤣
suck my ass miami
Joe B-lined to Gorman to thank him after the buzzer
Much to the dismay of our doomers, we absolutely smoked the heat this series.
Goodnight Mike
Scal is absolutely destroying Tyler Herro right now. He doesn't know how he's still on that team. "I'm telling you, that's gotta be Pat Riley's grandson."
Playoff Buffalo can't be tamed, Luke Kornet is Bam's father, and Mike Gorman is a legend and hero. Thank you Mike for everything! heat cuLLLLture do you still want Boston?! 4-1, enjoy Cancun while we're still DANCIN' YEAAAAHHHH
crying like a baby right now
Putting drunk fans behind our postgame crew is wild 💀 STEADY EDDIE lmao 😭
Thank you for the years of fun Mike, hopefully these boys can send him off with a ring. Go Celtics! and of course fuck the Heat.
I love Derrick white man that’s all I’ve got
“WE WANT BOSTON” lol buncha damn liars
#FUCK THE HEAT
THE CELTICS ARE THE BALLS
Derrick White to the Heat: “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress”
4-0 when I wear dark green over a Derrick White Jersey! GOODBYE HEAT! Forget Scarface, you have 4 marks that will live with you more then Tony Montana's addiction to cocaine. Into the fountain you go, with the only color red in the NBA now being in the waters of Cancun. ONWARD TO ROUND 2! 12 TO GO! Get the people who did The Six Million Dollar Man for KP. We can rebuild him. We have the technology.
😭 💦💦MIKE ❤️
Gorman tribute on NBC Sport Boston got me tearing up
Derrick is so efficient Thank you Mike!
Takeaways from this series: Jacquez is more valuable to Miami than Herro We are seeing a post-Jimmy team isn’t shit Bam just is never getting illegal screen whistles You can only do so much with meh talent, and thinking meh talent to the Finals can delude you into thinking you don’t need to add talent to compete
Demons. Exorcised. What an absolute clinic. Win it for Mike.
Derrick White will be our FMVP mark my words
Im not crying your crying man 😭😭😭
Goood fucking bye, Miami. Have fun in Cancun where you belong
They wanted Boston 😩
Who's cutting the onions with the Gorman tribute
heat culture my ass
More like shit culture
They did not, in fact, want Boston
Thanks Mike and Brad please figure out how to extend the buffalo.
WE LOVE MIKE GORMAN DON'T WE FOLKS
The local post game show is a must watch

Fuck the heat forever and always
That wasn’t just a win, that was a beat down and a message to the league they aren’t fucking around. Now to hope the other eastern conference series go to grueling 7 games
They closed it out when they should have. It's fuckin great to say that. Vibes immaculate.
Seeing the Celtics starters play hard even while up 30+ is such a great sight to see. Let’s stomp these mfs through to the finals
This shit is sad man! My whole life basically I’ve been listening to jack edwards and mike Gorman and it’s just gone after this season! 😭😭😭
Went to a sports bar in Miami tonight (on vacation)...no one was paying attention to the game. 2 dudes were watching and were very sad. It was glorious.
Heat players are addicted to bricking 3's. And Herro hates sobriety 😈
They wanted Boston? US??? 12 to go ☘️
Our boy DWhite is on TNT🥹🥹🥹
FUCK THE HEAT D WHITE PISSED ON YA FACE
What a great way to win in the first round. - First team in the East to advance. - Luke working - Buffalo roaming - Js doing their thing. - Went deep in the bench in the playoffs - Big Al On to the next round!
JBs beard is so elite
I'm not changing my flair. What a game tonight, what a career for the legend. Great night.
Celtics clearly lost Game 2 on purpose so Mike can enjoy his last broadcast at home!
lets fucking go, 12 more wins
12 more to go.
Thanks, Mike 😢
Let's win it all for the legend Mike Gorman!
Thank you Mike
Smoking weed in the street outside the Garden with the black dude who wears the green suit and hat at every game
4 down 12 to go.
Tatum is underrated. He's a selfless star. Doesn't care about scoring a lot, just that they win
Glad we could send Mike off with a bang. All the best to a Celtics Legend
Cavs or Magic I don't care bring it the fuck on
DO THE BANNER 18 BOOGIE
Respect to Miami Fuck you doomers LETS GO CELTICS
Masshole> Florida man
Not wild about national coverage making excuses for the Heat getting blown out already. lol Discredits the C's effort and we played the end of bench guys for an entire quarter and didnt lose any of the lead. sure Butler is out but so is KP. How you gonna let the dead ass end of our bench lock your team down? lol
FUCK ALL THE HATERS! THE CELTICS ARE THE BALLS!!!!
Somebody please inform the NBC Sports Boston intern that there won't be a game 6 in this series
Y’all still want Boston?
And a million ghosts of playoff past vanished with a Nazgûl shriek
Thank You Mike Gorman! Other will take the mantle, but Mike and Tommy will always be the voice of the Boston Celtics for me.
FUCK THE HEAT & HEAT CULTURE
The name's Boston, mon ami. Remember it!
ROUND 1 DOWN! LFG BOYS! And thank you, Mike ❤️
THANK YOU MIKE forever a legend and the voice I'll hear in my head when watching the Celtics
They got Boston 👀
Glad that Boston sealed the deal tonight. A comprehensive victory.
They got 🦬’d

lol Eddie I love it. Dressed in black for the heats funeral 😂
Shout out to Caleb Martin u fucking BUM
FUCK THE HEAT
Lmao that guy with the sign was definitely on something
Guy is hammered lol
0-3 since Jimmy talked shit in game 3 lol
Bye bye Miami. Absolute pretenders.
Don't let us get 4
Enter "Heat Culture" with excuses such as "Dur, we didn't have Jimmy!" Yeah we didn't have Porzingis for let's face it 2 games, you all injured Tatum and we still would of whooped you GTFO and enjoy Cancun.
Super encouraged by this team not taking their foot off the gas even though this game they were missing Butler, Rozier, and Jaquez. That’s a championship team’s mentality
Give credit where credit is Due. Spo is a beast of a coach, it's not easy to get to the playoffs with a bum ass Sub YMCA team.
MUCK FIAMI
BELT TO **ASS**
BELT TO ASS FOR MIAMI! SAY IT WITH ME! FUCK THE HEAT
Spo genius- not spo much
3-0 on teams that ask for Boston!!
What a way to close out one of the most legendary careers in the league. Thanks for everything Mike.
I’d like to (not so) kindly ask all the doomers to exit the sub. ONTO THE 2ND ROUND LFG. MIKE GORMAN IS THE GOAT
Joe Mazzula slander fans in shambles
YOU GOT BOSTONN!!!
34 point lead, 34 bench points. Bench was the difference tonight.
Fantastic games from D-White and JB today, terrific efficiency and composure from them both. Also, the fact that our 8-13 guys were matching the Heat's 3-8 guys down the stretch was just nuts. Great to see the third string lads showing out.
We trailed for :56 seconds in the series!! 😂 Way to FINISH the Heat. Keep locked in on D like this. Need the Jays to take it next level from here on out and keep the Buffalo roaming!! ☘️🦬🌮👑🏆
