- Erik Spoelstra is separating himself as a coach, and Jimmy Butler continues to look like a playoff God, but there’s also so much more to the Miami Heat holding a 2-0 Conference Finals lead over the Boston Celtics.

Miami and Denver are playing chess. Want to see them duke it out in the finals. Both well coached and I see it going to 7 games.
Denver hasn’t played such good defense and Miami hasn’t played such good offense.
Exactly. Denver is prone to collapses when Jokic is out while Miami do need another reliable scorer (hopefully Herro is back soon). It will be the age old offense vs defense theme.
They are the best Teams in the playoffs, not because of the players they have but the way they play. I have to root for Denver because I love the way they have constructed the team. Jokic is such an unlikely Superstar. He plays unselfishly and his teammates love him for that. Unlike Butler who is generally a team cancer. Didn't he sleep with Karl Anthony Towns gf when he was in Minnesota? That's the kind of behavior I really have 0 respect for.
@@chronicle_4 herro is expected to be back for the NBA finals. i don't think the NBA will start it early if both teams sweep
Miami in a 5-game Gentleman's Sweep...🧹🙄🧹🧹🧹😋
Hilarious when fans claim that Heat vs Nuggets will be bad because the Finals ratings won't be as high. It probably is factually true that the ratings will be lower, but actual fans know what the real matchup is.
My 2 favorite watches of this postseason, would be some real enjoyable basketball.
@@HoopVenue unstoppable spear vs immovable shield
Even if ratings are low I believe these are the type of seasons/matchups that revive sports and would do a lot to bring the NBA out of its funk
Thats why i hate lebron fans just because most of them are not fan of the game but the player
This defensive scheme to force Boston away from getting into the paint is really killing the Celtics hard, who get their best looks when they are able to initiate multiple drive and kicks on a possession. Jimmy's ability to track passing lanes is also incredibly broken. I do wonder what Spo is going to do if they play Denver tho. They've switched up defensive schemes drastically between series but Denver's offense is incredibly hard for Miami to game plan against simply because of playstyle and available personnel. But hey, it's Spo. He's gonna cook up some crazy shit and it might just work.
100% agree with everything you said here.
Celtics will get swept while the Lakers will win in 7!
BOW DOWN TO THE KING!
Lakers fan for life 🏳🌈
BLM! Protect trans kids!🏳⚧
they’ll probably run something similar to what golden state did last season since they are pretty similar in terms of size. but the reason the warriors survived either just draymond or looney on jokic was because they didn’t have a guard that could drop 30 on your heads in jamal murray. i’m sure bam will make jokic work but i’m not sure how well they can contain the rest of the roster. miami is a tough, gritty team and they really push themselves on defense, but the lakers are pretty close to that level too, and have a more capable shot blocker in ad, yet they are getting pummeled by jokic. i’ll give denver the edge for now because it’s definitely easier RELATIVELY to stop a power forward than a center lol
@@taesang5664 not only did they not have Jamal who game go for 40 any given night. They didn’t have sharpshooters KCP and MPJ to keep defenses home
@@hitstickznkdz1448 forgot to mention that. kcp and bruce brown were tremendous additions to the roster in general. not to mention they also got to shave off dead weight in the process lol
So Spoelstra actually studied the Celtics defensive schemes and weaknesses while Boston coach seems to have no idea what he's doing.
Celtics coach tried his best . He was put in a tough situation this year but he is out of his depth
What celtics defense? Last year they had a defense, this year they defense is horrible, it's a great video but the whole video shows Boston's inability to take advantage of miscues. They need better basketball IQ's.
Dude is a rookie coach. Even pop and phil jackson didnt win much their first years
that's how i thought. their defense works as a synchronized system, demanding continuous deny, moving, and rotation. their defense is simply phenomenal.
I can’t help but feel this defense only works because Boston refuses to take any mid range shots. It’s like they blow by their defender and then take a step back three which negates their blow by as now they give the defender a chance to contest
00:04 that's how in sync Miami players are
The matrix 😂
lmao fax
This is a great breakdown wow. Hopefully Miami wins tonight!
Appreciate it!
Jimmy my MVP with Heat Nation deserve a ring ❤❤❤
IDK why Spo doesn't have a Coach of the year yet. He's a GENIUS winning with "undrafted" players SMH.
Those undrafted player have somethg some supposed "talented" drafted player don't have : discipline, hunger & IQ. And that's what an organisation is supposed to look for
Good thing Spo doesn’t have COTY. COTY is cursed. everyone who wins it, gets embarrassed at some point later
Cause the Coach award relies on exceeding expectations during regular season, and they've never been expected to be bad and then did great. It doesn't factor in post season results and player development, which is where Spo's genius really shines through.
you think he learned anything from LeBron? I feel like he was the coach of that Heat team that could be completely wrong tho. Maybe letting LBJ take the reins was his way of coaching that team idk
@@poindextertunes He was a rookie I think when Bron was there so he didn't have the opportunity to put his will on this team full of HoF. And manage all those superstars w ego is tough mostly Bron who defend whenever he feels like.
I’m happy that Caleb is getting love. Him and his brother were absolute beasts at UNR, the whole town loved them when they were here. It was insane to watch them tear it up together at Mackey
First time i saw him in charlotte i know the brothers can ball plus the elite athleticsm. However as u know charlotte always fumble the bag. Imagine keeping and overpaying an undersized 2 guard on terry rozier and trading the athletic wing martin for development.
up 3-0* wild. subscribed. terrific breakdown
incredible viedo!! thanks for making this for a heat fan!!
Those bounce passes from Bam are so beautiful!
One of the reason why Bam is now a great release valve is thanks to his improve range in shooting that defense respects. Before,there were barely any cutters especially Duncan robinson due to the fact that bam's opponent sag of of him making the paint packed.
how you would not love this squad.....their offense and defense are beauty
Fantastic video, I learned a lot.
Great breakdown! I love it, keep it up! Looking forward to see another video on G3. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent breakdown
Great breakdown good sir. That's a like and sub
Great content bro
fire video!!! i LOVE a team that treats all of its players with the deserved respect. Spoelstra and his crew are on another level.
Spo the mastermind
Best coach in the game!
after watching this video
so its all about the details, not just only about who you got on your team.
play as a whole team, anyone can play good D and offense!
cant wait to watch Nuggets and Heat battle with each other!
The clips with Robinson and Bam is beautiful basketball, what an underrated duo
Great analysis!
6:07 Yes please, I would like to see that breakdown 🔥😁
If the Heat wins the championship, they will be the most impressive and the most successful NBA team to win it all. Here are the factors:
-They heavily underachived this season
-They were a play in team that almost didn't make it and lost to the Hawks
-There's literally NO SUPERSTARS
-No superteam
-Kevin Love and Kyle Lowry are NOT top 75 greatest players of all time or anyone in the roster
-The Heat are in a much tougher division in the East
-Their 3rd best player in Tyler Herro got injured
-Destroyed the Bucks that had an MVP, defensive player of the year, 6th man of the year and coach of the year candidate plus an all NBA and defensive team selection players
-Beaten the favorites to win it all in multiple years with the Celtics
-Sweep or win 5 or 6 games against the Celtics/Nuggets without going to a game 7
-Beaten 3 top 5 MVP candidates in Giannis, Jokic and Tatum
-Beaten a dominant center that almost averaged a triple double and who is the more deserving 3rd MVP winner in Jokic
- Beaten a masterlcass in Murray and a complete team chemistry in the Nuggets that has a solid coach
-And because of 3 unknown killers in Max Struss, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin (WHO? For real though)
Would be such an amazing story for sure!
In addition, you would potentially beat two #1 seeds and a #2 seed.
@@j-us-t_be-in-g yes that as well. 2 #1 teams in their respective division and a #2.
Jimmy might not play like it in the regular season, but he's a superstar in my eyes. Easily in my top 5 if I had to choose one guy to lead my team for a playoff run and that might be underselling it.
@@CarbonComs for me he's one of the hardest working NBA players of all time. No flopping, no whining, just straight basketball. The title superstar isn't really under him (has not been in MVP conversations and such) though for the Heat to go all the way up especially against 2 juggernauts in Bucks and Celtics, it is unimaginable.
Simply masterful. Teamwork, fundamentals, conditioning, basketball IQ, and more all done at the highest levels from every position. It's incredible to watch.
Brilliant analysis
Bam with u.d. and Kevin love has truly evolved. Jim was always a dog. They get smart players to do the rest of the work. Kyle Lowry is a point guard who is a dog on defense also. Spolestra has the ability to break you down from watching video with pat. Great defense understand offense with the right minds.
Hey, I wanted to ask about the possession at 5:20. I would argue that there was no open man. I think what Robinson is doing in that play is teasing the pass. You stay just off enough that the opponent appears to be left open but because you're anticipating the pass, you have a quick first step and you're able to go directly to the ball to attempt to steal. I used to do this whenever I had to play zone. I would try to manipulate passes so I could snag steals.
Erik is a top ten coach in NBA history
100%
FACTS!!! But they won't give him that title becasue... you know.. he doesn't have "superstars" SMH.
He's already named as one of the NBA's top 15 coaches all time. A shame the NBA didn't rank it so at what rank Erik would be is up to debate.
@@ronb8965 If he wins it this year it has to be one of the best coaching jobs in basketball history to take a 8th seed to the finals and win,unprecedented
He's literally top 5/6. He's most likely about to pass Pop and Kerr for most finals games, putting him into 4th alltime iirc. He's also gonna move up to 8th in most playoff games this year.
Casual fans underrate him, but hardcore fans and actual players/coaches definitely put him in the top 6 or so. He's probably the best coach in the league right now, though some might still try to argue its Pop or Kerr.
Best analysis of this series of the web
Finally a heat vid 🔥
Finally A Heat Video 🔥
Yeah boston is playing checkers while coach spo is playing chess
This reminds me of the 2011-15 heat jump defence
Thank you for this video cuz I was arguin that Bam been like a baby Jokic and my bros tried to laugh me out the room but as a 5 he plays the hub and makes pretty much all the passes asked of him DHOs back cuts all that
Great analysis! Spoelstra and his staff are top notch. Spo will be in the hall of Fame one day.
great anaysis!
Trust me we have most definitely unlocked something very dangerous to other teams by having bam handle the ball! 🤯WOOOW MAN when i saw that and what we were doing to Boston, i knew we had something DANGEROUS
Bigs who can handle and initiate offense have become the wave!
@@HoopVenue lol man that style of play is cryptonite 😬😬 And FINALLY.... BAM SHOWS HIS WORTH! THANK GOD LOLO
Excited to see what coach spo has in store for Jokic. Look out for Love
Spoelstra (and whoever helps him) are pretty amazing at times. There are a few other great coaches, but he's consistently terrific.
1 sub for you! Nice analysis!
Miami’s zone defense is no joke, idk why Tatum don’t post up anymore, anyways I think Denver vs heat will be interesting
Are the Celtics not rewatching the videos of these games? 😂
1:03 TRAVVVEEEELLLLLLL
Hard to score one the zone defense in the 4th so much pressure
Plays a big role and why they continue to win these close games!
12:53 you forget those might be rotation players but one of the best players in the world they can handle their own, NBA has a very high level of players.
Let’s go heat 🔥
HEAT NATION🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿🏆🏆🏆
gonna be a great finals
how do you think herro will fit into this offense if he comes back this postseason?
problem is herro doesnt play defense, usually the other teams go at him
As long as he’s not ball stopping, he’s more than skilled enough to seamlessly integrate and add legit value, only thing I’d be worried about is the defensive side of things.
If Duncan can make it work, so can he
Like i said on the other comments, herro getting injured is a blessing in disguise coz they unlocked caleb martin with higher elite defensive upside and kyle lowry can freely maximize his role as the point guard
I never know how good Miami Heat is playing. It would be a very interesting game when Heat is playing against the Nuggets. It would be a game of wits and strategies. The disadvantage for Heat is because Jokic can be playing as either a shooter or a playmaker plus 3pt shots.
Epic defense but using Murray as the screener for Joker is unguardable
Proper footwork and a high release means a player your size can't effect your shot. They have to guard Butler with someone longer.
Stops and shots that's it. They hoop!
Bam's versatility is not "unparalleled" - it's Draymond Green's MO from most of his career. Bam has standing reach of 9 feet, DG 8' 9".
03:19
The way to beat this - get a playmaker between the 2 lines of the zone
Big respect to Bam Adebayo Miami Heat
Thats the coaching advantage
This is what casuals don’t understand about the Heat. It is impossible to play like this for 82 games. The Miami heat are a 16 game team not 82. It would be impossible to sustain this amount of energy and effort throughout the year. Great job showing this.
I don't know which team and player I want to win the championship, I just love both jokic and butler.
Miami is isane team in every way, but nuggets is insane team in every way too. But nuggets has bigger size
And I think that will be really important issue
it's called the zone defense. US teams do not seem to know how to play against it
Ball movement and guys moving and not standing around and watching the guy with the ball is key to defeating Heats defense. Too much iso for Boston and previous teams that losts.
and mazzula is playing football checkers. fire this man
Miami Love the Zone ❤❤💘
The BBL is looking good
All this analysis.... and you didn't even mention how Udonis Haslem keeps the locker room in check 😛😋
Let's go miami
Celtics got no playmaker with vision. Brown and Tatum decision making have always been questionable. They piling turnovers, and killed aceltics offense. Heat forced them to make a decision, which they failed miserably
And having a chair as a head coach doesn't help this issue at all.
As much as I hate Marcus Smart, he really is their top playmaker, just not nearly the faceup shooter as the other 2
You’re going to jinx it.
Man i hate the media saying Jimmy Butler isnt athletic like wtf theyre watching.
I'm always a little shock they didn't attack Duncan Robinson more.
The Heat’s excellent zone D setup allows them to sort of hide Duncan with switches and rotating around the backend so that he’s often not put into a point of attack at the top of the key. When he is, he usually gets some nice perimeter help from Strus, Lowry, or Butler
I think Jokic is gunna eat that Zone alive. I feel like Butler is just as good as Jokic right now but how do you coach against Jokic’s size? some things you just cant prepare for
do you know the harsh bitter truth? the Celtics doesn't know how to attack a zone, you clearly see it when they always start to attack it with a dribble, while you should only move the ball fast with proper passes
True
Mike Miller would fit very well on this team 🔥
If I was a nba player in the finals, I’d stay on TH-cam to know all the loopholes videos like this present
The Celtics just stand around. The Heat players play a zone that cuts all the passing lanes. If the Celtics players do not move and if the ball handler is not assessing the movement to find the open man then its over. Go to 4:53, Tatum has the ball and is looking for who to pass. Smart is all the way at the corner STANDING. What wouldve happened if he cuts to the basket at full speed. Tatum gets him on a clean look. If they swarm Smart he could kick it back out to Brogdon for a wide open 3. 5:25, Smart takes too long to pass it to Horford and instead passes it to Robinson because that pass didnt seem targeted at Brodgon. It literally feels as if they are getting paid to lose. Ive seen too much basketball and HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
When you break it down like this, it's easy to see why these paper tigers keep collapsing.
3-0 now. 4-0 after tonight.
So smart 3/2 zone man let’s go heat 3-0
their playing a box and 1 defense against the celetics lmao
As a heat fan.. i see us ending this series tonight yk we rolling on all wheels when we duncan freelancing and dribbling the ball around comfortably
it looks like the knicks are better than the celtics?
Now they are Juan 👆🏽win away
they call it genius, but it's actually how hockey defenses work.
Nuggets in 6 but I hope I'm wrong
Were they too focused on chess that they forgot about playing basketball
Give Miami credit but the Celtics made it so easy . They have 34 year old rookie coach and he is out of his depth .
Not sure if Miami will beat Denver but they earned a spot in the finals
If they win there first okay in game JT is out if the first round
Damn
english pls
English Please
OR boston is playing iso ball and not moving the ball
I'm concerned for how the Heat defend Denver, I think Nikola Jokic and their constant movement is going to be the kryptonite to Miami's organized chaos on defense
Boston players don't move at all without a basketball...it leads to trees on the court that makes them easy tk defend. GSW dominated the league with their hard cuts off the ball and off ball screens
Solid defense unlike GSW and PHX.
Lowry is really clicking in Miami right now. Love to see him get another ring with this squad.
All i see is that the Celtics don’t have elite/great playmakers lol
Jimmy not lengthy? He towers over Anthony Edwards and clearly taller than 6’ 6” Grant Williams. He’s a legit 6’8.
Lengthy in terms of wingspan and the ability eat up space, has a 6’8 wingspan at 6’7 whereas most defensive forwards are closer to 7’0.
When i started playing basketball i focused so much and scoring that my defense was so bad that i didn't get into any club but the older i got the less i started lookin at people like kyrie or steph curry and more to 08 09 chris paul can shoot all 3 levels pass and okay defense
76rs shouldn't NEVER hired glenn river's just look at Heat young players play against the Celtics
Paul Reed and McDaniels and other young players cudda played similar to Miami system get a right coaching for that team.
Damn , I was looking at all the games as a fan, not looking at the mastermind of Miami heats offense and defense it is masterful
