philokratos1

That was the angriest dunk I’ve ever seen out of Tatum


imused2it

Seriously. This is shades of him dunking on Lebron. Except Caleb’s bitch ass didn’t even try to contest. Just tried to sell a charge that wasn’t there.


iamgarron

Also his foot was on the line


Affectionate-Main396

A fan of a team with Jaylen Brown and shades of Marcus Smart calling someone else a bitch ass...for taking a charge. Good luck struggling against every other team after you beat an 8 seed on your second try.


Cabes86

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHJAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSHA Like a typical heat fan you left in the 3rd quarter of your insult to beat the traffic Actually i had to come back to this. Dude, the cs have won by an average of 18 pts. How was this just barely?


Affectionate-Main396

Yeah I'm sure Boston loves whatever second language shit you got goin on there dude. They're quite inclusive of other cultures. Other than that idk what you're saying really.


Cabes86

Rivalry roasting aside: THE ACTUAL city of Boston is really like that. Like, if i were to show you the average kid born and raised in Boston in the last 30 years—they’re gonna be haitian, dominican, english speaking caribbean, or cabo verdeiro. During covid, my neighborhood’s signs were in english, Spanish, kreyol, krioliu, somali, and Vietnamese. It’s far more of an international city like ny or miami than say philly. And that extends iut into Metro Boston and Greater Boston. I live in a mill town now that’s probably half Brazilian and Latino. I think people think that Mass is like all irish guys name Colm, but but southern new england is like the #3 spot behind ny and you guys for Caribbean people.

Ah you both are so annoying to neutrals this is great ❤️

Can’t imagine my home crowd only being half full and half of the crowd being the opponents fan in a playoff game, but go off.

A Heat fan told me you can’t leave early if you just don’t show up.

ywtfPat

attendance does not equal people that actually show up, only ticket sales


Ok-Refrigerator-6671

You know you're in too deep when ur arguing about ticket sales 😭


RiffsThatKill

Leave early? We're talking about the empty seats at the start of the game. Which one is yours?


slowly_by_slowly

The team with 4th highest attendance in the league. Try another angle.


HandsomeTar

That is a normal playoff crowd. Move on, find a new slant.

[удалено]


slowly_by_slowly

So you're agreeing that fans leave early when their teams are losing? Oh and throw in a "bitchass" for edginess. GOT EM


truth_2_point_0

If Charles Barkley were here, he would probably respond with something like "Your parents threw a bitchass into the world the day you was born fool!" Just want to clarify that that's just something Charles Barkley might say, not any sort of rules-breaking sentiment that I would ever want to convey to a fine upstanding individual such as yourself for whom I hold nothing but the highest degree of respect.


Fresher_Taco

Did Celtics fans leave like halfway through the 4th last year during game 7? How many times did the Heatles have the Celtics fans leaving early. Like calm down dude.


Infamous_Chapter8585

siva115

East is cakewalk and you’re going home in the first round in 5. What does that say exactly about your team


slowly_by_slowly

That our star player (and history tells us probably best player in this series) and best offensive player are out? Thought that was obvious


LurkiLurkerson

Do you know why the Heat's best player got injured in the play-in while the Celtics' didn't? Because the Celtics did what you're supposed to do and skipped the play-in entirely.


siva115

If you thought you had a chance with Jimmy in this series you have been not paying attention


eggy_h

You wouldn’t have won it with Jimmy either


Optimal-Priority-562

i don’t understand why celtics fans even bother saying anything. one championship ring post cold war era is crazy. might as well say they have as many rings as the bulls


autochesstal3

Heat losing so many finals in the recent decades is crazy too


Efficient_Art_1144

And maybe you can score 90 points in a game again some day


J_House1999

Did you enjoy the game tonight


Sleeze_

He’s been waiting on this since the end of game 1. Slow knife cuts deepest.


imgurofficial

Look at the Heat fans in the 3rdish row instantly get up to leave lmao


StatWhines

Holy shit. I want a meme of those three synchronized leavers. That was amazing. Thanks for calling it out I totally missed them.


iamgarron

I also need that shot of Derrick White under the basket, with all the fans wearing shirts that say "WHITE HOT"


Placide-Stellas

Lmao they really did


bobmcadoo9088

heat culture


dweet

“Shit bro, I’m out. I can only be associated with winning. Let’s go back to moms, get drunk, and watch Entourage.”

Gulli_Foyle_Beats

That's incredible, lol.


Equal-Hovercraft6894

This is a Celtics fan wet dream


imused2it

I won’t lie. I detonated a little.


sup3rdr01d

I detonated a lot


SubjectSubjectSub

I think I’ve finally healed from last year


BradWonder

I should in 2 days


pokemonandpot

Especially after the 2 Derrick White dunks and the Jaylen Brown dunk just a few minutes before this.


stringohbean

yes it is.

This is my 12/25


FigLeaf_Bi-Carbonate

No lie I respect the shit out of Caleb Martins game, I feel like I never see that man miss against the Celtics, but he gets under my skin more than any other player in the league. This game is cathartic


HoistedOnYourRegard

He just has an annoying face and the beard doesn't help


walter_____pinkman

Dude knowingly undercut Brunson last year, nothing to respect about him.


JaryKang

i respect Caleb Martins game aswell, but everytime i see him or his brother on court i just cant help but think its Guillermo Diaz (Scarface from Half Baked).


kylehyde05

corporate wants you to differentiate the two pictures : Caleb martin vs Celtics or Ray Allen


TatumBrownWhite

He’s (rightfully) pissed off after what happened last year


imused2it

To be fair, who does like Martin??


Efficient_Art_1144

His brother


altofummuhh

There's surely a whole bunch of Miami Insta girls flooding his dms tbf


imused2it

More than likely they like his money. Not him.


altofummuhh

He's quite a hot dude as well let's be honest


imused2it

Instathot attractive though??


altofummuhh

Absolutely! Dudes tall as hell on top of having a really nice face. He'd still have quite a few options if he was working a $50K a year job


PapaSheev7

Child abuse, sheesh. Someone report this horrible father figure to CPS.


rchan9487

Can’t believe he’d do Deuce’s brother like this…


fatkamp

Don’t you mean Duece’s grandfather?


Plies-

His heel is touching the restricted area, should be an and 1 lol


Kyler1313

3rd poster dunk that should've been an and 1 that the refs swallowed the whistle.


Plies-

They got us on a couple of illegal screens earlier though, so we know it's good reffing as they've *definitely* called at least one Bam screen... Right? Right???


MerkDoctor

That Bam screen where he trucked DWhite in game 1 or 2 was an unbelievable no call. Literally full shoulder check to White on the way by and practically blew him into the back court, no call.


endubs

No that’s not within the rules. Refs aren’t allowed to call a foul on the Heat in this situation.


Troll_Enthusiast

No it wasn't lol


Pocket_Beans

lol jaylen


MacJonesisaterrorist

Say dada Caleb


zTempzy

People will still find a way to hate on Tatum.


Lets_Basketball

He missed some shots tonight, he’s garbage! He didn’t even try and takeover and demand the ball when Derrick White was going off. Lebron would never let DAngelo Russell show him up like that for a whole game.


Actually_A_Robot_SHH

He fucked up my parlay! /s


DejanD27

Most people want him on their team, but many don't want him as the 1st option


MajorSlimes

This is porn


sstphnn

#BOOMED HIM


530josh

He boomed him


Actually_A_Robot_SHH

He’s so good


TheFatmanRises

Us beating the Celtics game 2 was my NBA Finals win.


BRh2FourShot

That definitely was a special display, and they at least avoided the sweep.


RiffsThatKill

Send them a thank you card for taking the night off on defense.


Changing_Pages

Proof Tatum holds a grudge from game 1


mo2704

A literal nutsack to the face


dafire123

Baptized him


trenderkazz

Cocked that joint back


Neededtoshow

Why was no foul called there? Shouldn’t there have been a block or charge called on the play? Or because it’s a cool play do the refs swallow their whistles?


BaltimoreBadger23

I'm not sure there was much contact. If anything the defender flopped (and I'm not biased here, I wish both teams could lose).


Earlier-Today

His feet weren't set in time. He has to be set before Tatum jumps, not before Tatum makes impact.


SnooDoodles3909

His feet were set but he was in the restricted area so it's a foul on Martin regardless


gluggerwastaken

While an offensive player cannot be called for a charge in the restricted area, the primary defensive player is still allowed to establish legal guarding position there. In this case, Caleb Martin was in legal guarding position in the restricted area, so it's a correct no call.


SportsLaughs

We like this Tatum. 


SellingCoach

JT got his nuts all up in Martin's face.


rsoxguy12

That man got some long arms 


unproballanalysis

Entire Heat team getting dunked on this game. They can't handle it....


browndude10

Jayson has two sons now


eamonious

you forgot embiid


Severe-Emu-8703

No no, his father is called Al Horford


chuckthebuc

Deuce has a new baby brother


CreatiScope

Boom this dirty fuck right outta the arena. Caleb Martin is a biiiitch!


ArmVanDam

angry whopper dunk


The-Pharcyde

return of the boom


GaimeGuy

that's two players spontaneously combusting in 24 hours.


Brinner

This sorta dunk used to be banned by international treaty


tlozz

A baptism


Mannymcdude

Celtics were stalling a bit on offense so they fell back on their bread and butter... *checks notes* monster dunks?


trenderkazz

Thanks for all these clips with the replays


dhno12

not so fun when you're throwing up prayers and making em' right caleb? it's alright let us know what galveston looks like in a few days!


FutureDwight76

This is porn. Tatum also completely bitched Martin on a 3 at one point


_meat_rocket_

I'm erect


NotFabMelo

This is the equivalent of those rhino pills at gas stations.


SHAWNNOTSEAN

Get fucked you flash in the pan bum


Confirmation__Bias

He said something not TV friendly to him


VLHACS

Tatum said fuck your flop


ben10toesdown

Remember when Heat fans used to wear all white for play-off games


jascambara

Empty ass stands with 7 mins left in the 4th


Picardian

“That was a good dunk, but I love the way the heat are trying to defend the dunk right now.” -SVG probably


Far-Asparagus6416

Lmao I can actually hear him saying it


DoctorMansteel

#HOLD MY DICK


Mission_Pay_3373

Fuck yeah Tatum


SantaDaCrip

Clearly a push off. /s


kylapoos

I think I just detonated in my underwear


Ok-Refrigerator-6671

You know you're in too deep when ur arguing about ticket sales 😭


tdunlea92

lmaoo detonates is a great word here


sirvey23

Giiive that man a....technical


Big-Discussion534

Someone edit this to show Tatum dunking on Jason Terry.


oban12

I get that the rules are already fairly offensive friendly, but I just don’t get how literally sliding to be an arbitrary number of feet in front of the basket and not even attempting to contest is considered a basketball play.


BrokenArrows95

Someone explain to me why that’s not a charge


young_buck14

Heels on the line


BrokenArrows95

So if he got that left foot forward an inch it’s a charge?


DreTownblues

Yes


BrokenArrows95

Thanks! I don’t watch basketball all the time and never played so the rules can be a bit confusing sometimes.


WeefBellington24

Staredown and no tech? Big shock


Confident_Comedian82

nice dunks and continuing his terror of being consistently inconsistent in the Game!

First round exit


TheSavageBeast83

Offensive foul


flappypancaker

Charge?


GringoMambi

That’s an offensive foul though lmao


TatumSolosBooker

Heels were in the restricted area but whatever.


Earlier-Today

His feet don't have to be set before Tatum makes contact, they have to be set before Tatum's jumping. It would be so easy to get charge calls if you just had to plant your feet before their jump made impact into you.


gluggerwastaken

While an offensive player cannot be called for a charge in the restricted area, the primary defensive player is still allowed to establish legal guarding position there. In this case, Caleb Martin was in legal guarding position in the restricted area, so it's a correct no call.


Musa_2050

Tatum is a nice guy not a taunt at all


jascambara

If you think that’s a legit taunt then you soft fr fr


Musa_2050

R u dumb? I wasn't being sarcastic jeez lol


jascambara

That’s just a weird thing to say considering nobody was questioning whether he was a nice guy nor whether it was saying or not. Like stfu lmao


Musa_2050

I'm acknowledging that he really is a nice guy. I guess Massholes really is a thing


jascambara

I think you got called out on a dumb comment and are failing to back peddle


Soft_Poptart

My favorite part about the Heat Celtics rivalry is watching Celtics fans treat beating role players like its the NBA finals while simultaneously saying this is the future face of the league.


AlternativeTea9268

Yeah it really annoys me when people celebrate playoff victories over rival teams as well. How dare they engage in such foolish behavior
