5/1: Game 5@Boston

[The Mort Report]

Why is this his last game? No more local feed the rest of the playoffs?

Yup, only the first round also has a local broadcast

Yep. They only get round 1

 

[Beomoose]

Now that's how you close out a series

 

[8slim]

Huge credit to the Cs for driving a stake deeeeeep into Miami’s heart these past 3 games.

 

[JCizzle]

6/19 for 15 points Herro still going to try to fight out back?

 

[BaseballJones]

Now that was an absolute ass-kicking. The Bruins should have taken notes on how to close out a series at home.

 

[patinorange]

Now that's how you close out a series

Bruins, you guys watching?

 

[Ed Hillel]

I’m disappointed they didn’t think to give Mike the ball

 

[timelysarcasm]

Beat the brakes off of them. Love it. NEXT!

 

[JCizzle]

I'm not sure players appreciate the type of relationship fans develop with announcers.

 

[OnWisc]

Thanks for winning Game 2, Miami. Enjoy the extra flights. Now GTFO.

 

[bigq]

Good way to send off Mike Gorman. He has been a constant presence on Celtics game days since I was a little guy. Man, I am going to miss his voice.

 

[TrapperAB]

This is the way the Heat end

this is the way the Heat end

not with a Bam but a whimper

 

[Ed Hillel]

I'm not sure players appreciate the type of relationship fans develop with announcers.

Should have made its way to Joe and to the players. Oh well.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Game 2 aside this series was not even remotely close. A complete and total beatdown. Almost to the point of boring.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

It's actually for a pallet of All Dressed chips.

I can’t argue with that.

 

[OnWisc]

This is the way the Heat end

this is the way the Heat end

not with a Bam but a whimper

That’s pretty good.

 

[Manzivino]

That was about as dominant a performance as you could have hoped for coming into tonight. Really glad to see them just smother the Heat the last 3 games, they play defense like that and it’s really hard to see them losing 4 out of 7 to anyone.

 

[JCizzle]

Should have made its way to Joe and to the players.

Oh definitely agree, any player or coach who went up to Mike would instantly have been a fan favorite for life.

 

[The Mort Report]

They let us win it on home court with a send off for Mike, but yeah fuck off

edit fuck off the Heat, not you just in case haha

 

[Ed Hillel]

Jrue’s defense this series was unreal.

 

[bosockboy]

Assuming Riley didn’t make the trip. No Riley cutaway.

 

[Van Everyman]

Awww this is nice.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I'm not sure players appreciate the type of relationship fans develop with announcers.

Maybe, but I remember the Sox all coming on to the field as a tribute to Don Orsillo after his last game with the team. I have to believe they get it somewhat.

 

[ifmanis5]

Nice stuff. Thanks Mike.

 

[chilidawg]

Game 2 aside this series was not even remotely close. A complete and total beatdown. Almost to the point of boring.

I don't think they've trailed the last 3 games.

 

[Spelunker]

Thanks Mike

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Classy, genuine tribute right there. Loved Mike himself sending us off.

 

[AlNipper49]

Why is this his last game? No more local feed the rest of the playoffs?

Yup. Local feed = all done.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I can’t argue with that.

I'll send a bag to you.

(No, but really, if you'd like, I'll buy 3-4 bags of them next time I'm at FM and I'll bring em to you next time I'm on the Hill if you'd like?)

 

[joe dokes]

Kornet with one of the more impactful 2-pt games you'll see.

 

[OnWisc]

I don't think they've trailed the last 3 games.

I think they were down early on Monday.

[Light-Tower-Power]

I don't think they've trailed the last 3 games.

I believe they have for a total of 16 seconds. Did not trail tonight.

 

[TrapperAB]

Thank you, Mike Gorman.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I'll send a bag to you.

(No, but really, if you'd like, I'll buy 3-4 bags of them next time I'm at FM and I'll bring em to you next time I'm on the Hill if you'd like?)

That would be awesome, but please don’t go out of your way.

 

[bohous]

Assuming Riley didn’t make the trip. No Riley cutaway.

He was there. There were cutaways on the local feed during the game.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

That would be awesome, but please don’t go out of your way.

I'm on the hill like... 4x a year, due for a visit soon anyway. I'll DM you elsewhere bud. All Dressed chips are love.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Heat really had nobody and nothing tonight. But lol, boo hoo, as they say.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I don't think they've trailed the last 3 games.

3-2 last game was the only time

 

[TripleOT]

In the last three games, Miami had the lead for only 54 seconds.

 

[bosockboy]

He was there. There were cutaways on the local feed during the game.

I’m glad he witnessed it.

This marks 40 fucking years since we first went against him.

 

[timelysarcasm]

After all the hand wringing after Game 2, it wasn't particularly close. Step one is complete.

 

[RedOctober3829]

If Cle-Orl ends in 6, Game 1 is Sunday at 1:00 presumably on ABC. If it goes 7, Game 1 is Tuesday night.

 

[Royal Reader]

Turns out letting the Heat get one wasn't a BFD.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Happy to see the theory that Spo is so great he could take 5 G Leaguers and make them competitive get debunked. He’s an elite coach but he’s not god. Even with Jimmy this isn’t close.

 

[TripleOT]

Bam 1-8 with two turnovers in the third quarter as the Heat were fighting for survival. Kornet and a
AL gave him the business

One can only make so many 15 foot turnarounds. Bam on super high volume is not a winning offensive strategy.

Rest in warm, old piss Riles
