Boston Celtics Win Game 6 Of The 2023 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals
2023-05-28
Sorry for the Barstool link; that's the best I can do on short notice. This has to be one of the top nailbiter games I've ever seen (even bigger than the Patriots / Raiders 'Tuck Rule' game), and now they're on the doorstep of breaking a 150 - 0 drought of NBA teams winning (or not) four straight games after being down 3 - 0.
I am at a loss for words, but this time it's for all the good reasons. For just the 4th time in NBA history, a team down 0-3 has forced a Game 7. In typical Celtics fashion, they achieved it by ripping our fucking hearts out. Going up by 10 with 4 minutes to go, only to miss a billion shots around the rim and foul. The Heat cut the lead just like they always do in clutch time. Watching that 10 point lead dwindle and still seeing all that time left was such a deflating feeling. Then Jaylen and Smart missed some late FTs and I really started to get nervous. Then Jimmy Butler made a 3PM and I REALLY started to get nervous.
Derrick White put in a rebound miss by Marcus Smart with 0.1 seconds (second?) on the clock to win the game; that's the nailbiting shit right there.
I almost had another heart attack!

#2  Vegas made a lot of money from people betting that the Bruins (President's trophy "curse") and/or the Oilers would be in Lord Stanley's final.
