Have The Celtics Solved The Heat? 2023 Eastern Conference Finals Game 5

Well, let's be real, my last video on Jimmy was spot on as this series is full of possessions where he won't be involved in the offense with Jason Tatum guarding him and I understand there are better matchups to hunt, but the offense seems to stagnate. these moments waste precious seconds on the shot clock making shots more difficult the longer it takes to stand there, call the ball screen, make the change and then get to work and in crucial moments when the

heat

needs him penetrate and apply pressure. the defense is not aggressive leaving his teammates out of the way with a short clock and not much room to operate and in a sign that perhaps he realized how unaggressive he was or that he saw everyone adding my video on Twitter, he actually tried I went to Tatum and it worked out well as he took two free throws on the turnover post move and I think he might

have

surprised himself by beating Tayden's pressure on the backboard and straight up this open three for Caleb Martin , but by the end of the first we realized why Tayden is the best senator Boston has going for him, fast and strong, who unlike Derek White or Grant Williams can force all those little shots to miss.

Another thing that bothered me last night was the BAM post-ups he does. I've never been very good with them and I think they lulled themselves into a false sense of security in the first few

game

s as it's an adventure every time he gets us back to the basket and takes steps that are too off the cylinder for my comfort. The carelessness of the soles of his feet also extends to the rules of the

game

, in this drive he meets with his right foot down, quickly jumps with that same foot to go over it before taking the shot with force on it, after the jump stops, moves both feet. before jumping into the air to shoot another missed decision, but in last night's game they caught him there when he finishes the dribble and then lifts his left foot off the ground and puts it back down without shooting past it, it was brutal to watch.

Keep coming back to him from underneath when they desperately needed a basket and the Face-Off is usually his best bet, but it's harder to get this Fade Away to the right of him. I guess I didn't mind that Duncan was a basic jumper. The hook looks good, but this was a key mistake that could

have

really helped them get back into a game they soon lost. Here's a good example of a very shaky handle and you can bet the Celtics will be looking for steals every time from now on. I've never seen a good post player put the ball on the ground like this and I'm sorry, but you have to pay Bank on this shot if you want to count at this point.

I'd had it with his and them post-ups. I went right back to him and noticed how Horford is giving him an arm's length of space. Now Bam can't beat him with his lack of dribbling moves and he's left flailing for a foul that never comes. I'm not going to pretend he could. I'm back in this game at this point, but you have to understand that losing the ball in the post is the worst result you can have. If you're going to get the ball down like this, you should at least get a shot. and I hope Bam can fix his dribbling problem before game 6 or it's going to get ugly down there quickly in the video of game 3.

I pointed out how the Celtics' passes per game dropped dramatically once the playoffs started. I'm not sure if they saw it, but when they suddenly found out, his passes per game returned to regular season levels and it's no surprise that his three point percentage also increased against the Heat Zone. They made seven passes around the perimeter until Tatum created an opening. By attacking the seam, drawing multiple defenders, and generating this good look from White, Jason Tatum's passes per game went up a lot as he decided to be much more of a facilitator by drawing the defense to him and then not forcing a shot himself, but instead that found the boys open. on that left wing for much easier shots that clearly energized the Celtics on both ends of the floor, it looks like the Celtics figure some things out and I'm afraid the Heat blew their best chance to win this series and if they don't get Jimmy Butler , more aggressive, not only will you lose it, but your scoring numbers will take a hit and if you want a chance to win some money on this scoring production then you should head over to underdogfantasy.com and visit Pick Em where you can choose .

There are three key areas where they have increased the most. left wing right wing and left corner on that right wing we see a little pattern like helping a shooter on a distance pass, thinking that they will continue to miss these open shots, mainly disrespecting Derek White, who destroyed them in the fifth game by hitting six of eight of his threes, the pick and pop was also a great way to open up those shots on the right wing, especially when Tayden handles the ball since the Heat defense wants to attack him, of course this was not an easy shot and he shows it to you. how crazy White was, but here's another example of the kind of gravity the Celtics can take advantage of with Tatum and Smart gets an open look on the easy pass the Heat consistently chased the ball in the pick and roll, like this one. it's just not Jimmy's help as Bam is there to support Streus, leaving Grant Williams open to cut the lead in game four and if you're wondering why the Heat feel the need to charge in and attack Tatum in the ball screen action when they don't.

Won't he turn it into a three-point shot and the drop coverage makes a mistake or will he make his multi-dribble combo into a step-back three that turned into a dagger early in the fourth game by choosing a multi-dribble combo move that Brown helped? His three-point percentage from the left increases dramatically with a pair of isos that serve to not only extend the big lead but also demoralize the

heat

in the process. Here's another pick and pop where Tatum can draw both defenders towards him and make an easy bounce pass. to a wide open Grant Williams who continued to torture the Heat last night, the left corner also came to life with another example of tayden passing much more than the last two games, this crazy hook pass across the court surprised everyone, especially Max Struse.

Smart Nails another three-way look at how Tayden expertly draws the attention of the entire defense before the big ball move explodes the two-on-one on the weak side for another left corner three, Tatum's pin has been neutralized, so Horford slides the screen, forcing Spruce to rotate down Brown was in all of this waiting for the opening to jump to the corner as the target lights him up and after Jimmy had to switch to Horford with the handoff action, he just didn't It's his help here nor did Bam need the help anyway like Horford. take the early lead, of course, Gabe Vincent's injury really hurts the heat, but it seems like the Celtics have seen my tape, I mean, they've figured out some things here, they make the ball move more, they look for more threes as they go that his percentages return to their expected values ​​and I hope that he throws the ball to prohibit near the post if the Heat does not win tomorrow.

I think we'll have our first comeback from a 3-0 deficit in the series.
