we went to lucky strike tonight for game 6. besides one guy with a jimmy butler jersey, i was the only miami heat fan in there. the celtics were winning the whole game up until the end. jimmy was fouled on a 3-point shot, then made all 3 free throws to put the heat up 1 with 3 seconds left. marcus smart gets the inbounds pass, bricks a 3, but derrick white tipped it in with 0.2 seconds left. it was exactly like the duke/unc game a few years back. the whole bar went crazy. all i could do was close my eyes and look up. even though the heat lost, i had a ton of fun. during half-time i went and won 4 rugrats plushes from the claw machine so it wasn’t all a loss.
game 7 on monday and i might find myself back up here in assembly.
