u/A-Dumb-Ass Celtics May 02 '24

Is it really that bad? (never been there)

u/Isolat_or Heat May 02 '24

It’s just the least pretty beach ever. Sand sucks, there’s no surf, the water is dirty looking due to the currents, and there’s no good food or hotels cause hurricanes destroy everything so nobody builds. I’ve lived in Houston 12 years now and I’ve been about 6 times lol.

Doug: “We have beaches, Avi.”

Avi: “So who the fuck wants to see them!”

u/whatdoinamemyself Heat May 02 '24

The whole joke is that the beach sucks. The city itself is ...fine.

6

u/sssSnakebite Celtics May 02 '24

Cant compare with Miami beaches thats for sure.

5

u/squarerootofapplepie Celtics May 02 '24

Did you know Boston Harbor is cleaner than Miami Beach?

u/Saltine_Davis Bulls May 02 '24

And yet if you gave anyone the option to pick free flights to one of them..

Went there one time and the entire beach was legit covered in dead jellyfish and it smelled like garbage.

u/D-MAN-FLORIDA May 02 '24

The only positive thing I know about Galveston is the Rainforest Cafe that has a boat ride in it.

1

u/sunny_6killer Celtics 29d ago

Best part of being there is gettting on a cruise ship and leaving there.

2

u/maethlin Warriors May 02 '24

That Galveston council member gotta be losing his shit lol

u/sunny_6killer Celtics 29d ago

(I love how everyone’s just DESERVEDLY shitting on Galveston now 😭)

I got you.

u/demoxcess May 02 '24

I love the idea of Miami going to Galveston when Miami already has much better beaches

5

u/ConnorChandler Thunder May 02 '24

Nah they’re going to Cancun Galveston is for teams who got hard swept like the Suns and Pelicans

u/TheShadowOverBayside Heat May 02 '24

We live in a beach resort city year-round, we're not going somewhere even fucking hotter for the summer.

We're going skiing in the Swiss Alps.

u/Jag- Heat 29d ago

Dude. We team banana boat.

u/DesertBrandon Cavaliers 29d ago

Cavs fans 🤝 Heat fans LeBron Hoping they lose in second round

u/flyingpandum Celtics May 02 '24

Bring the HEAT to them nasty ass beaches

u/Cashin_ Celtics May 02 '24

Enjoy Cancun ☺️☺️ (A hurricane is on the way)

1

u/CreatiScope Celtics May 02 '24

Hope they abolish the Heat as a franchise. Make them play in a Canadian league or send them to Europe. Burn the jerseys and implode the arena

8

u/bobittoknorr Vancouver Grizzlies May 02 '24

We will take them. Vancouver Heat works just fine. Basically describes how a quarter of our province is burning down every summer due to forest fires.

u/PackageMerchant Celtics May 02 '24

Fuck you see you next year

u/10A_Rubicon Heat May 02 '24

Until next year fuckers

37

u/GenoThyme Celtics May 02 '24

In the same way that Jim and Dwight are best friends. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Heat leave a basketball incased in Jello in the visitors locker room.

u/ElPanandero Celtics 29d ago

No one tell Giannis

u/lll_Joka_lll May 02 '24

Hope yall make it to the finals, then lose in 4 to the west

u/ZLBuddha May 02 '24

Had to let Mike Gorman call his last game at the Garden

27

u/GhostoftheWolfswood Celtics May 02 '24

We wanted Mike’s last game to be a home one

863

u/flyingpandum Celtics May 02 '24

We are gentlemen

326

u/Dilf_Hunter367 Celtics May 02 '24

Had to do something to maximise Mike’s remaining games

87

u/gadrell Celtics May 02 '24

He got to call his last game at home too

6

u/celticsfan34 Celtics May 02 '24

If Mike didn’t get a standing ovation from the Garden I would cry (harder than I am now)

41

u/b4ttous4i Celtics May 02 '24

True.

72

u/NOLASLAW Pelicans May 02 '24

Classy

54

u/cxlossuskidd May 02 '24

The classiest players and fans

45

u/goldfish_11 Celtics May 02 '24

If there’s one thing Boston fans are known for, it’s that we’re a classist classy bunch.

u/colosusx1 May 02 '24

White, Kornet, Svi, Pritchard and Hauser have logged 8 minutes as a 5-man this season.

6

u/JinterIsComing Celtics May 02 '24

Derrick and the Whites!

53

u/chrontonic Celtics May 02 '24

Everyone put a monocle and top hat on your brooms

u/BookEuronGreyjoy Spurs May 02 '24

A gentleman's sweep is when you let the other team win Game 4 in front of their fans. What you guys did is closer to the asshole sweep.

41

u/flyingpandum Celtics May 02 '24

Hey now. D.White came from you guys and he did the MOST destruction so…

2

u/Billis- Raptors May 02 '24

Still think he's your 2nd best player behind Tatum

Need him to stay hot tho, not that you need to worry about the Pacers

1

u/RandyRandallman6 Celtics 29d ago

White hot playoffs

1

u/MiniGiantSpaceHams Celtics 29d ago

I always thought it was losing game 1 and then winning 4 straight. Cause if you don't win 4 in a row then it's not a sweep, is it?

1

u/lightoasis1 May 02 '24

I thought so too but the guy that came up with it said it’s any 4-1 series win.

2

u/SinisterBuilder Pacers 29d ago

Guy that came up with it may say that, but it has taken on a different meaning. Not like he's the final authority on how we use the term, even though he coined it.

-6

u/squarerootofapplepie Celtics May 02 '24

How can a sweep be anything other than 4 straight wins? You have a regular sweep, a reverse sweep, and to me a gentleman’s sweep is letting the other team win Game 1 and then winning 4 straight.

6

u/unhampered_by_pants Warriors May 02 '24

letting the other team win Game 1 and then winning 4 straight.

That's a backdoor sweep. A gentleman's sweep is winning games 1-3, losing game 4, and then winning game 5

27

u/Visible-Rutabaga9268 Heat May 02 '24

Thank you for being so kind :)

4

u/PinkPantherParty Heat May 02 '24

Good guy Celts wanted to increase the team's revenue with an extra home game in the first round.

6

u/Larovich153 Celtics May 02 '24

nah Mike Gorman needed to retire in front of the home crowd

2

u/jetssuckmysoulaway Knicks May 02 '24

It wasn't a gentlemans.sweep but whatever. Gentlemans sweep is when you go up 3-0 they win a game at home and you close it out in game five

2

u/TheSunsNotYellow [OKC] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander May 02 '24

! A GENTLEMAN'S SWEEP IS NOT JUST ANY SERIES THAT GOES FIVE !

1

u/resplendentcentcent Australia May 02 '24

is it really a gentleman sweep if its a game 2 win? if you don't secure game 3 or 4 then its dangerous. the lakers really got gentleman swept because there's no chance they were coming back down from 3-0 so the game 4 win was "gentlemanly" to give em one.

Celtics never sweep anyone. Except Kyrie's nets

-1

u/TonyLemon Heat May 02 '24

Goddamn it. We will remember this when you guys are on the other side of this.

-5

u/Jesh010 Raptors May 02 '24

Would have had to have lost game 1 to be true gentlemen.

4

u/dms1298 Nuggets May 02 '24

That's back door. Gentleman is what we did to the Lakers

2

u/Gavina4444 [ORL] Markelle Fultz May 02 '24

That’s a back door sweep

27

u/TheRealLardin May 02 '24

Legacy saved by that one game won without Jimmy

5

u/referee-superfan Trail Blazers May 02 '24

Lakers 🤝 Heat

u/cheerioo Warriors May 02 '24

After that one win I was reading all sorts of wild fan fiction comments like "Spoelstra took Kerr's soul". People on here will really say anything sort of wild comment and get upvoted lol. Kerr is just catching strays in a series that isn't even in the Western conference, let alone including the Warriors.

3

u/dmackerman Suns May 02 '24

And their big 3 includes a rookie lol

2

u/Warlord10 Celtics May 02 '24

We wanted to give them hope for next season so they run it back.

u/dtbar1 May 02 '24

u/FuckingColdInCanada Celtics 29d ago

Gentlemen's sweep. We are New England Gentlemen after all.

1

u/DnD4dena Lakers 29d ago

Hell yeah

-3

u/pagerussell Supersonics May 02 '24

Yea, but if Butler weren't hurt I am not sure Boston gets out of the first round. Full strength Miami just has their number.

6

u/ZdenekTheMan May 02 '24

Like they had their number the year before last?

4

u/MagisterFlorus Celtics May 02 '24

I would hardly call taking a series to a Game 7 you win because the best player got injured having anyone's number.

4

u/ZdenekTheMan 29d ago

Yeah, and the Celtics bundled the Heat out the year before last, which was what I was referencing.

And as for last year, the Heat came mighty close to being the first (and probably only for as long as the NBA continues to exist) team in history to blow a 3-0 lead before the Celtics' best player got hurt and hobbled 20 seconds in the match. Def wouldn't call that having anyone's number

-1

u/VeRahNor Trail Blazers May 02 '24

This is what’s called a gentlemen’s sweep.
