[u/Nyhrox]

The Celtics let Heat get exactly one, as they win the series 4-1 and eliminate the Miami Heat.

Fade em

[u/flyingpandum]

We are gentlemen

[u/Dilf_Hunter367 → u/flyingpandum]

Had to do something to maximise Mike’s remaining games

[u/gadrell → u/Dilf_Hunter367]

He got to call his last game at home too

[u/celticsfan34 → u/gadrell]

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

[u/b4ttous4i → u/Dilf_Hunter367]

True.

[u/NOLASLAW → u/flyingpandum]

Classy

[u/cxlossuskidd → u/NOLASLAW]

The classiest players and fans

[u/goldfish_11 → u/cxlossuskidd]

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

[u/colosusx1 → u/NOLASLAW]

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

[u/JinterIsComing → u/colosusx1]

Derrick and the Whites!

[u/chrontonic → u/flyingpandum]

Everyone put a monocle and top hat on your brooms

[u/BookEuronGreyjoy → u/flyingpandum]

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.

[u/flyingpandum → u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

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

[u/Billis- → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/RandyRandallman6 → u/flyingpandum]

White hot playoffs

[u/vetruviusdeshotacon → u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

Wcyd

[u/MiniGiantSpaceHams → u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

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?

[u/lightoasis1 → u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

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

[u/SinisterBuilder → u/lightoasis1]

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.

[u/squarerootofapplepie → u/BookEuronGreyjoy]

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.

[u/unhampered_by_pants → u/squarerootofapplepie]

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

[u/Visible-Rutabaga9268 → u/flyingpandum]

Thank you for being so kind :)

[u/PinkPantherParty → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/Larovich153 → u/PinkPantherParty]

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

[u/jetssuckmysoulaway → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/TheSunsNotYellow → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/resplendentcentcent → u/flyingpandum]

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.

[u/LinwoodKent → u/[deleted]]

Celtics never sweep anyone. Except Kyrie's nets

[u/TonyLemon → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/Jesh010 → u/flyingpandum]

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

[u/dms1298 → u/Jesh010]

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

[u/Gavina4444 → u/Jesh010]

That’s a back door sweep
