game 1 loss by 14. Many people lost faith in the Celtics beating Heat because it seem like they dominated but i've got reasons to be positive.Celtics were 1 good quarter away from winning game 1 , so let me explain why i think Celtics will win.
I'm going to use game 2 Spurs-Thunder as a example. That game is the best example of how not 2 but 3 stars could be outscored by a good team. Durant,Westbrook,Harden scored 88pts and still lost the game. Spurs are great offensive team better than Celtics but learn from them. If They outscored 3 stars Celtics can outscore 2 stars. What Spurs did? Share the ball and attack in the paint.
My point was that Celtics will win only with offense in these series, not with defense. Interesting stat is that Heat averaged 97pts per game in the regular season but only 90 against CEltics. In game 1 they score 93. They got two guys scoring and no suporting cast and with our defense i don't care if lebron scored 32 and wade 22 because Heat can't score more than 95 against Celtics.
most important thing about this series: DON'T TRY TO STOP WADE AND LEBRON, TRY TO OUTSCORE THEM. OUR STARTING UNIT NEED TO OUTSCORE JUST 2 GUYS , 5 AGAINST 2
How to do it?
We prove we can score 115 in the regular season against them, and that 35point second quarter gives me a lot of hope that it's posible outscoring them.
Rondo and Garnett are obviously matchup advantage.
What Rondo should do is control the pace of the game create open midrange jumpers for Bass and KG. We need 15asists from Rondo not 7
What KG needs to do is to get a good position inside and have another 20/10 game
Than you will ask yourself if we are that capable offensivly why we finish the game with 79 points?
The answer is tha Spoelstra used a little bit of 76ers defense. Knowing that Celtics have adventage in the paint he fills the paint with more bodies 2 or 3 bodies when Celtics attack to the hoop. Good defense by the Heat but like i sad before learn from the Spurs. Don't settle for jumpers but if you have open jumper take it. Pierce should continue to drive to the basket but when 2 defenders go at him instead of getting blocked pass out in the corner for three. Rondo and Pierce were blocked 8 times. Why? because when they drive to the basket they got at least two guys helping in the paint. Just drive, get double team and pass out. Than if we start hitting shots there will be more space in the paint. Be smart play smart share the ball be patient and sudenly will will have at least 2 good quarters and will outscore them.
Go Celtics!
