L bozo
Unfortunately, that buzzer beater was all for naught for the Celtics as the Heat won Game 7 on their home floor.
Heat in 7
Max Strus played that horribly. First he lost White then he caught up to Derrick White but hesitsted and jumped and defended late out of fear of fouling him. Awful defense
The Miami Heat 🔥 Almost 🤏🏽 Made NBA 🏀 🏆 ⏳ ⚖️ History Just Now … and In a TOTALLY 💯❗️ BAD 🚫 ❌ 👎🏽 Way By Blowing a 3-0 Series Lead Against the Boston Celtics! 💥 🍀
Lol
All that just to get blown out in game 7. Like I said, celtics can win games 4,5,6. The moment they went down 0-3 they lost the series, they're fighting for no reason.
Worst defense since pitino did not guard the inbounds pass it in 1992. They should have cut that kid from the team immediately after the game
for his allowing that to happen. Fortunately Boston no showed in game 7 at home. Lol.
Atleast they got good ticket sales in Boston for Game7
I can finally watch this again after the Heat won G7
all that to get blown out at home in a Game 7…lmao
Hahahahahahaha just like my james harden game winner this now means NOTHING 🤣🤣🤣suck it Boston
Easily one of the top ten rebounds in NBA history.
This will be forgotten bcoz of their 2 J'S choked so hard
sadly nobody will ever remember this moment

He is “Legendary” after all.

I never search this video. Someone hacked my account. Can you tech me.
I just can't stop watching this after refusing to watch it the day the Heat loss. It is so satisfying to watch. 🤣
I am NOT INTO SPORTS AT ALL!
Think that he got a free throw as it was even a hand tap😂
Before disaster
All the dramatics, to just lay an egg at home in game 7. 😑
“He’s gotta be aware of Derrick white on the quick pass back” 😬 sheesh commentator called it
oh what could have been
One of the greatest playoff series I’ve ever seen. Incredible
Omg I remember thinking the game was over after the miss by Smart. I was pissed and then I hear “THE CELTICS ARE GOING TO WIN THE GAME”
What a play!
If this had been Game 7, this would have been all-time EPIC. Thanks Jaylen Brown lol
Means nothing with that game 7 performance by Boston
The Celtics constantly going to Smart in these moments was always interesting. I’m not a Celtics fan, but I can’t remember him ever hitting a buzzer beater.
I thought for sure the Celtics were gonna win Game 7….and Tatum rolled his ankle ONE FREAKIN MINUTE into the game. Ugh
Stab Van Gundy called it before it happened.
One of the best game winning plays I've ever witnessed…too bad it was followed by game 7 😂
All that and loss game 7
Kevin Harlan is iconic!!
One of the greatest playoffs moments ever. However you gotta give props to Miami for being able to come back and win a game 7 in Boston after something so deflating
Imagine if the Celtics actually did the 3-0 comeback how monumental this play would’ve ended up being
D-Lo brought me here
Amazing to watch live!
