The ending of that game reminded me of the time in Band of Brothers when a guy got shot in the helmet, took it off and exclaimed "Wow, lucky me" then got shot in the head

If the Celtics win game 7, they will become the first NBA team (out of 151) to win a seven-game playoff series after losing the first three games. The Celtics' record in decisive seventh games is 27-9 overall and 22-5 at home.

That last sentence is a testament to why home-court advantage matters, and why Miami really need needed to win Game 6. Same logic applied to Philly in the last round.

Nah. The David Stern era ended years ago. If anything, the Celtics we’re getting hosed with questionable calls and non-calls down the stretch.
This wasn’t another Lakers/Kings 2002 WCF scenario.

Sixers are hiring Nick Nurse. Good move.

I hated Nick Nurse on the Raptors, but in that way you like a guy if he's playing or coaching for you. The one thing I really never liked is that his Raptors teams always seemed to be playing out of control defensively. Maybe that's just the body type that team acquires, or maybe it's time to fight fire with fire. The things I do like about Nurse is that he always seemed to get the most out of his roster and that he's an out of the box guy. The latter will be a breath of fresh air, given that the Sixers just fired a guy who pretty much defines "the box".

I’ll never forget the 2002 WCF. Stained the NBA in my eyes to a point it will never go away.
What would you say.....ya do here?

Miami up by 17 entering the 4th quarter.
Stranger things have happened but this looks like a chokejob.

All credit to Miami, they're playing defense and making their shots. Meanwhile, the Celtics are in full meltdown.

Jaylen Brown has more turnovers by himself than the Miami Heat as a team.

Tatum is hobbled and Miami is pushing it down their throats every chance they get. Boston looks like a boxer who’s taken a few hard shots and can’t find his bearings. Brown does not look like a guy who deserves the chance to have his own team.
21 points now. It's over. Caleb Martin had himself a night, while Butler is having a solid game. Adebayo still can't hit a shot, but has been really good defensively. For Boston, Tatum can't get any shots off and Brown has 8 turnovers so far.

Six losses IN Boston for the Celtics during the playoffs. That's kinda unheard of.
