The Boston Celtics are set to take on the Miami Heat in a win-or-go-home Eastern Conference Finals matchup on Tuesday night.
Earlier this evening, Celtics star Jayson Tatum arrived at Miami’s Kaseya Center wearing his pregame outfit. Across the front of his shirt read “Nahmias” — a designer clothing brand.
Inside the NBA host Charles Barkley made a hilarious joke about Tatum’s shirt on tonight’s broadcast.
“Does that say Bahamas?” Barkley asked.
“Does that say Bahamas” 🤣💀

Barkley was taking a crack at the Celtics’ likely earlier-than-hoped vacation time on the horizon. Despite being the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, Boston trails the No. 8 seed Heat 3-0 heading into tonight’s Game 4.
Tatum had a lackluster Game 3, logging just 14 points on 6-18 shooting and 1-7 shooting from behind the three-point arc. The Celtics will definitely need a much better performance from their superstar if they want to stay alive and avoid their vacation time.
