You're bringing up Tatum's injury to excuse why the Celtics lost when the year prior Miami had multiple injuries in that series. Miami was also a missed Jimmy Butler 3 away from beating them anyway. It works both ways.

Tyler Herro being injured isn't the same as Jayson Tatum being injured.
A mediocre 3 point shooter pulling up like he's Steph Curry isn't unlucky or anything to look back on and think 'damn, we almost had them'. It was a terrible shot.
