Al: yeah, keep that same energy...
Jimmy: ... of winning? You bet!
Al: no, of losing.
Jimmy: What?
Al: you heard me!
Jimmy: I did, but it makes no sense. We are winning, so if we keep the same energy, it would be winning energy.
Al: YOU make no sense!
Jimmy: Bro, you okay? What the fuck you talking about?
Al: I don't know.
Lol. MJ would have just walked up to Horford and said something like "Had enough yet? Now fuck off to the bench you fucking loser bitch?".
He would then go after Horford every play and try to drop 50 on him.
MJ had a foul mouth rather than the swagger and witty comebacks Jimmy has.
That was very MJ. The Bulls often thrived on the iso game due to the rules back then. That's why so many old guys talk about not wanting to piss him off. Because he would just go iso on that person and destroy them all game like Jimmy did on Grant. Using basically the same mid-range fade way as Jimmy was. MJ would even tell them I'm going left, or right on the turnaround, do what he said he was going to do and they still couldn't stop him.
Jimmy just seems less inclined to call the person a "miget bitch" (one of MJ's favs) repeatedly. He did the "too small" hand gesture and looked at the floor instead.
Yeah this is a "I got front row seats to your funeral next game, bitch" level taunt. Horford chirped back at Jimmy as Jimmy walked away, dude is in their heads.
Outside of our crazy fans expecting us to win every year, I think most reasonable Lakers fans are happy we made the playoffs let alone the WCF. LeBron is clearly injured, but we beat the Warriors and Ja+Brooks Grizzlies. Weāre losing to a 2x MVP whoās the best player in the league on the 1st seed.
Boston was a favorite to win the whole thing early in the season and is losing to the 8th seeded team with their second best scorer whoās missed p much the entire playoffs.
Only thing Iām mad about the way weāre losing is D Lo. Dude is complete trash, definition of a total negative. I was saying he doesnāt deserve a big bag when he got benched in the fucking play-in game vs his former team, and heās only gotten worse every game this series.
As a Warriors fan, the worst part about D
Lo is that he played well against the Warriors in all but 1 or 2 games that series. Why couldn't he suck then??
The Lakers demolishing the Grizzlies did everyone a solid favor. Especially with the step on the neck 40 pt blowout. The garbage team culture in Memphis got exposed and now the Celtics are getting the same treatment, finally. Lower seeded mature teams exposing the high seeds is the best moral victory imo so take comfort in that. You guys banished Dillon brooks to the shadow realm
Yeah it sucks to lose but again, didnāt expect the Lakers to make it this far at the beginning of the season and I think with another offseason of camp + LeBron healing up, I think weāll be a good team again next year.
Probably the second best case scenario outside of winning, I donāt think most Lakers fans care who wins as long as itās not Boston lmao and if Jimmy or Jokic+Murray win a ring thatās also great. Regardless, gonna be good games to watch in the Finals.
I hope itās Jimmyās year. No offense to the 2x MVP, but Jimmy is 5 years older. Jokic will have several more chances, but Jimmy is 33 already. Heās looking as good as ever, but ā¦ who knows.
That's what I was about to say, I love both and would usually be happy with either, but I have to root for Jimmy after the shift he put in in the bubble and him being the older one. I genuinely believe Jokic will get more chances down the line.
Overheard in Celtics locker room after Game 3: āHe got me,ā Al Horford said of Jimmy Butler's dominating performance over him. "That f***ing Butler boomed me." Horford added, āHeās so good,ā repeating it four times. He then said he wanted to add Butler to the list of players he works out with this summer.
Yeah, I was just thinking this. You should not be be this defeated in a game 3. This is the kind of blowout when you lose hope not when the series is still winnable
I think part of it is that the first 2 losses were at home. Like you already blew it by going down 0-2 at the Boston Garden, and now you have to somehow win both of the next two games against that team but now with the home court advantage flipped in their favor, just to avoid a 3-1 deficit. Can imagine why morale would be lost.
Horford was blowing kisses to Warriors fans at Chase Center at the end of game 1 of last year's finals. It didn't work out so well for him, then either.
I love how through these playoffs Jokic has gone with a ānothing but respectā approach and Malone has just been like ānah fuck that, Iām from NY, we outside today!ā
Nuggets were the betting favorites and the vast majority of experts picked them but they are still playing the underdog card. Iām sure theyāll go for it next round lol.
how the fuck are people still saying the nuggets are underdogs? they were the number 1 seed and have made childs play of every team they've gone against in the playoffs. anyone whos not a lebron dickrider foresaw the nuggets beating the lakers
Al Horford has the most unlikable personality in NBA. Pretends he is a nice guy but he is actually a dick. And his family too.
Would be great to see him never win a ring.
Horford is such a clown
should've retired ages ago, couldn't guard a traffic cone, and has never come anywhere close to winning a single thing in this league
At this point, I'm kinda glad Lakers aren't gonna have to play the Heat. It would somehow be more embarrassing than getting swept by the Nuggets will be. Plus, despite how sick a 7th vs 8th finals story would have been, a 1st vs 8th would be even better.
Jimmy is so petty I love it š
Stared Horford down while he was doing it too.
if only this replay show that
https://twitter.com/WorldWideWob/status/1660470553990553600 Horford actually got pissy LMAO MR. ELITE 3PT SHOOTER
Fr wtf can Horford be saying here that ain't embarrassing AF. Ur down 0-3
Al: yeah, keep that same energy... Jimmy: ... of winning? You bet! Al: no, of losing. Jimmy: What? Al: you heard me! Jimmy: I did, but it makes no sense. We are winning, so if we keep the same energy, it would be winning energy. Al: YOU make no sense! Jimmy: Bro, you okay? What the fuck you talking about? Al: I don't know.
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
Rare cameraman lapse. They're usually good at catching everything
Wait so is he actually Scotty Pippen's son?
Why not both
Hol' up now
And the Celtics didn't even win Game 1..
Thats the most hilarious part, rofl
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
this is one of the best clips of the playoffs. i can watch it another 100 times rn
This man Jimbo. I am just in awe.
Perfect track too because the next line is, "Who the fuck you think you fucking with? I'm the fucking boss!"
I'm so glad Jimmy did that lmao.
That's MJ levels of petty. Jimmy had so many opportunities for that and yet waited for the perfect moment lmao
Apple doesnāt fall far from the tree
Yeah he is mj's dad
Well we already know he can time travel since this is game 4 Jimmy.
He really take it personally

Jimmy went after Grant Williams repeatedly and sent him to the bench

Because he would just go iso on that person and destroy them all game like Jimmy did on Grant. Using basically the same mid-range fade way as Jimmy was.

Petty King
Would have been happier with it in a close out game, but love to see it.
Nah gotta do it now to kill any morale they had.
Yeah this is a "I got front row seats to your funeral next game, bitch" level taunt. Horford chirped back at Jimmy as Jimmy walked away, dude is in their heads.
The Celtics are as good as done , they have no dawgs in them
This was a close out game...
It is fucking impossible to hate Jimmy Butler. Get the brooms out fellas
Here, you can borrow Denverās for a bit.
I mean, fuck the Lakers, but props to you for being a good sport lol

It helps because Iām also a Bulls fan. And fuck the Celtics.
I'm glad we can all come together about something ā„ļø Fuck Boston.
im also a laker, but fuck boston lmao
90% of Laker fans are completely reasonable people, but mannnnn that last 10%
Those of us from the 90% don't claim that 10% LOL
That really most fanbases in all sports tbh. Fan is short for fanatic after all. Delusion is a feature, not a bug.
Getting swept in the Western Conference Finals is infinitely better than we could have hoped for a few months ago
They using Austin Reaves hair as the broom
I'm so fucking stoked that either Jimmy or Jokic are getting a chip this year. Fuck yeah!
That's where I'm at. Either outcome will be awesome.
Same. Iām taking it a step further and hoping that whichever of Jokic or MJ Jr. donāt win it this year, does so next year
I hope itās Jimmyās year. No offense to the 2x MVP, but Jimmy is 5 years older. Jokic will have several more chances, but Jimmy is 33 already. Heās looking as good as ever, but ā¦ who knows.
That's what I was about to say, I love both and would usually be happy with either, but I have to root for Jimmy after the shift he put in in the bubble and him being the older one. I genuinely believe Jokic will get more chances down the line.
I think there is a non 0% chance Jimmy comes to the arena on Tuesday sporting a vintage Nimbus 2000 broom
Jimmy "brooms" Butler
What is this heat team good gracious
Just dudes hooping
Just bros ballin
Dawgs
just guys bein dudes
Somehow we all forgot they were the number 1 seed last year, and they took it personal
I like how barely anyoneās pointed out that itās only game 3. It might as well be game 4 based off how mentally dominated the Celtics have looked
They whooped them so bad it should count as 2 wins.
I'd get a few hours back to myself this week at least.
Some one do the math on quarters won and see were we are at. Celtics believe this is the determining factor.
Tied 6-6 so far, 3-1 Boston, 2-2 and 3-1 Miami.
Miami has no chance.
It's not like any of us have been given reason to think game 4 will be any different.
Stop jinxing bro
Surely you guys couldnt *possibly* be the first team to get reverse swept in a conference finals right?
Insane jinx. Stop it
No, that's literally impossible.

Talk your shit Jimmy G
How do we even root? Himmy vs Honey were going to see top hoops. Love the competition
Jimmy Garappolo signed by the dolphins??
These Celtics are fake tough guys, only talking when theyāre up.
That's Dillon Brooks' music
Unironically if they sign Brooks this off-season I'll laugh so hard.
Iāve long contended that they were completely Front runners. Thatās why the highs are so high and lows so low.
Everyday I'm hustling in back is hitting so hard
The series literally changed after this lmao
Karma a bitch
[Al Horford's reaction](https://twitter.com/3MWD__/status/1660473378384359425)
Grant Williams trying his damndest to not look at Jimmy so he dont accidentally make it worse
"I'm just going to lookup and pretend looking at something. I ain't winning this battle against my father"
He mad
Fucking hilariously Charmin soft just like the rest of the Celtics.
Haha bitch made
Yooo that's hilarious. I thought he was doing it from across court, towards the bench or something. But it was right at Horford like 10 yards away.
Thank you for that!
Fuck snek
Horford was blowing kisses to Warriors fans at Chase Center at the end of game 1 of last year's finals. It didn't work out so well for him, then either.
Game 3 blud
Al "Elite Shooter" Horford
Jimmyās troll game is just as good as his bball game
Arguably better, which is *impressive.*
who the fuck you think you fucking with?
Inject this into my veins
Or you could put it in your pipe and smoke it lol š
laid his nuts on em. best Heat player since Wade
I like him more than Wade even with no rings.
I will never not love Al Horford slander.
Can't really explain it, I'm ok with shittalk, but there's something about Horford where it's just annoying.
Is it cause he looks exactly like xerxes from 300
God fucking dammit now I canāt unsee this
LOL
Jimmy: āThisā¦Is Sweepa!ā
Iām so happy. I thought I was the only one who thought about this. I think itās the eyes. Also maybe the mouth.
Every time Horford taunts things go bad
I will be eternally regretful that we didn't completely embarass him for the shimmy. I know we won the game, but the series loss ruined it.
Itās going to be some elite entertainment seeing the Nuggets & Heat go back and forth on who the bigger underdog is
Iām gonna go with the one thatās the 8th seed
Michael Malone - "See you're already talking about the Heat more than the Nuggets. No one is talking about us!"
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Take that for Data
I love how through these playoffs Jokic has gone with a ānothing but respectā approach and Malone has just been like ānah fuck that, Iām from NY, we outside today!ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
āon god bruhā
Well KCP was saying they were underdogs when they were going against a 7 seed
Yeah the one that still wins by like 20 when their star player has a bad game lol
Lol how is the #1 seed even an underdog
Nuggets were the betting favorites and the vast majority of experts picked them but they are still playing the underdog card. Iām sure theyāll go for it next round lol.
Thatās not true. The Suns were the betting favorite to get out of the West, unless youāre just referring to the conference finals.
Conference finals
The Heat will have beaten a #1 seed and #2 seed. Will Denver be able to say that? Checkmate.
Nuggets issue isn't being considered an underdog it's not getting the credit and attention a number 1 seed deserves
Thatās fair but then they can just say they want attention instead of saying their underdogs
Just watch the Celtics still have the second highest probability for the championship by ESPN as the Nuggets and Heat start their tip off.
how the fuck are people still saying the nuggets are underdogs? they were the number 1 seed and have made childs play of every team they've gone against in the playoffs. anyone whos not a lebron dickrider foresaw the nuggets beating the lakers
Except only one of them was the dawg in all their series while the other was always favored lol
Youād think so but the suns were unironically favoured in their series lmao
Al thought the Jays got him protected ššš
Life comes at you fast
Lmao didnt see that one in game 1. Al horford tryna act like he has it is just too funny. Dudeās tristan thompsonās bitch lol
HE TOOK IT OERSONAL
Nothing oersonell, kid
Al Horford is a loser
Thereās an angle showing Horford getting in his feeling about this from Jimmy too lmfaooo
I need to see this
https://twitter.com/3MWD__/status/1660473378384359425 Bro was not happy lmao
You can tell heās been living in boston
Al āButthurtā Horford
Jesus Christ, that's just so fucking lame it's insane.
He was about to pull a Ja š¤£
Perpetually so
Lmao love this shit from jimmy B
Jimmy butler is like an anime character Lmaoo
I fucking love Jimmy Butler
Love the brutality.
Jimmy Butler is FEELING himself this postseason and I'm fucking here for it. Playoff Miami is just built different
Jimmy butler is so savage
Jordan would
Best day of my life
LOOK AT JIMMY MAN, SO INSPIRATIONAL
This is the coldest shit Iāve seen from Jimmy and heās an ice cold mother fucker
Naw the coldest was being down 6 and telling Jrue that he owns him. That shit was insane
Ni Hao Alfred
Remember when Horford blew the Warriors fans a kiss after game 1 in the finals last year? He needs to stop lmao
Good. Fuck Horford.
Al Horford really is a bitch
On behalf of Sixers fans everywhere, thank you Jimmyā¦ miss u :(
That's some iconic shit right there. that'll be in the highlight package for end of season doc the team puts out about a championship run.
Fuck Horford
Horfordās dumb stupid face makes this even more funnier šš
Al Horford has the most unlikable personality in NBA. Pretends he is a nice guy but he is actually a dick. And his family too. Would be great to see him never win a ring.
Damn Jimmy donāt be so mean
Horford is me when I āWhat A Save!ā someone.
This is the drama I came for.
What a beautiful psychopath
Horford is such a clown should've retired ages ago, couldn't guard a traffic cone, and has never come anywhere close to winning a single thing in this league
Fuck Al Horford
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The man is a coffee and espresso aficionado. Lotta caffeine probably.
ok im not the only one who noticed then
Entire Miami team needs to be drug tested
Genuinely who does Al Horford think he is lmao, he started shimmy-ing and taunting & the universe humbled him immediately
Like father, like son, Butler took it personally.
Jimmy is who Embiid think he is, if had had the DAWG in him
Hahahahaha letās go Jimmy!!
Lol butler is the best
At this point, I'm kinda glad Lakers aren't gonna have to play the Heat. It would somehow be more embarrassing than getting swept by the Nuggets will be. Plus, despite how sick a 7th vs 8th finals story would have been, a 1st vs 8th would be even better.
Game 3 Butler
J Buckets is a bad, bad man.
Game 4?
Jimmy don't forget.
So petty the best kind of pettiness I wonder who was Jimmy staring at.
Al Horford. š
Horford and the entire Celtics squad are bums. Himmy got that dawg
Jimmy brought out the Noah finger guns AMD THEN did the timeout taunt. Legendary.
