This Was NEVER Supposed To Happen...

We have just witnessed the unthinkable. With the entire world writing them off, the Heat pulled off the most improbable upsets, but was this a genius adjustment, luck maybe, or possibly a horrible defensive strategy by Boston? We’re about to find out.
Right from the beginning Miami made it known exactly what was going to be their game plan.
They knew they couldn’t compete point for point with the Celtics, so Spoelstra went all out and told his team to fire away as many threes as possible. So that’s exactly what they did.
By half time Miami had 24 attempted threes and only 12 shots inside the line. And they were knocking them down.
Now this is the interesting part. I don’t agree with Joe Mazulla, and you can see for yourself.
The Celtics wouldn’t switch on ball screens at any cost. They liked to keep the matchups as they were, which created room for penetration by the ball handler, and obviously then the help has to come, leaving an open Miami shooter.
I absolutely don’t see any reason for them to be doing this. The Celtics have one of the lengthiest lineups, and a 5 man unit that can switch on anyone and not worry about matchup exploiting. Why are you doing this?
On top of that, Spoelstra sprinkled in a bit of his magic as well so watch Tyler Herro here:
This screen is a decoy, it’s not important. But watch him cut across at the same time as Jovic comes off of the pick and roll with Brown trailing. White has to be there and even if it’s a split second, you see the separation that Herro has. Bam sets another flair screen and this is a wide open look on the beautiful off ball movement.
But despite these 13 threes on a blistering 54% by the Heat, Boston still had a 3 point lead at the break led by their inside game.
If an underdog team is shooting lights out, and they’re still trailing at half time, that’s almost always an indication for a convincing win in the second half.
And something similar to that played out in this game but not how I imagined it.
In a completely unexpected turn of events, Miami kept up this unbelievable pace of outside shooting and finished the game with a franchise high in the playoffs of 23 three pointers on an astonishing 53 and a half percent. For the entire game.
Jimmy Butler knew how to enjoy and celebrate this major upset, and amazing game by his teammates.
And a loud mouth like him, would of course use this opportunity to do a bit of trolling as well…
This game to game drama is exactly what the playoffs are about.
On rategame, the app that I’m a part of, I gave this one a solid 7.2, and it seems that the rest of the viewers agree with me.
Moving on to OKC and the Pelicans, and I thought we might get another close one after the game 1 thriller ending. But I was so wrong because…
The Thunder jumped on New Orleans right from the beginning of the game, and it’s obvious that the Pelicans don’t have an answer defensively for Shai.
And Chet Holmgren is stretching the floor to the point where Valanciunas can’t be at 2 places at one. He can’t help on dribble penetration and be there to contest Holmgren’s pick and pop threes.
So he was feasting.
This was a 13 point lead for OKC at halftime and they never looked back as we got this…
This one was over early, and ended up being a complete 32 point blowout.
A 4.5 score on rategame is about what you’d expect for a wire to wire big win like this.

Miami got their revenge for the game 1 loss but that’s nothing compared to Luka’s emotional revenge against the Clippers. You gotta watch exactly what took place right here in this video. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out. - Спорт
Miami with the against all odds power of friendship vibes 😂
There is absolutely 0 chance I would ever try that stupid RATINGAME. More he promote this more I hate it... 😜
Holiday only had 9 points and 2 assists with a lot of turnovers in 37 mins this is why the bucks traded him because he’s great defensively but he’s not a scorer
@@ImTheRealDealThey traded him because they aren’t smart. Now their poa and guard defense is despicable. 🤦🏿♂️
Been doing it the last 5 years lmfao.
Man Miami is knb😅😅😅
Someone online said "Boston got Beat by Tyler Herro & The SkyForce" 😂😂😂
lol
What does it mean?
@@RT-qz5ci gleague team of miami
Probably a salty celtics fan😂
Boston got heat checked last night
i see you 😂
Holiday only had 9 points and 2 assists with a lot of turnovers in 37 mins this is why the bucks traded him because he’s great defensively but he’s not a scorer
Miami heat checked haha
@@ImTheRealDealthey should have enough firepower. KP let everyone down imo
Heat wins against Celtics at TD garden even without Butler...
If the Celtics lose this series to the Heat with no Jimmy this will be a complete embarrassment for that franchise
Nah, if this shit goes to 7 that's embarrassing enough lol, heard those so called "analysts" say that Boston should be sweeping the Conference lmao and that the Heat would lose even if they shoot 100% from the field, fucking hilarious really
If Celtics lose without Jimmy then it seems like they should blow up their team but then again how can u get better without Tatum Jrue, and porzingas and i guess brown also
@@truthyahweh9877 I just don't like the Js duo. I know they've had a lot out of success, but when it matters most they always lose because they don't really complement each other's weaknesses.
If the 2024 Celtics end up being the 2015 Hawks Part 2, that would be INSANE.
Actually I just checked & the 2k15 Hawks lost in the ECF so I guess not that crazy. But they did get swept.
People seem to be forgetting that they dont have Terry Rozier either and still beat Boston. Herro is going to have to play like a Hero if they have any shot at an upset. 25 points isnt going to be enough.
Miami are bostons kryptonite 🤣
Boston is Boston's kryptonite
@@piwi2775 lmao true. I will never trust this team to get it done. Just mentally not there
@@piwi2775 I swear
Erik(Miami's coach) is the kryptonite
Heat do this because of that intangible Heat culture from top to bottom: not star driven.
But its only one game. Celtics will win this, probably in 5 or 6, because the Heat will not be hot every night and don't have Jimmy Buckets, while Boston has enough guys who can push the team over the top.
this is the evidence that hard work beats talent.
Its one game😂 come on
@@joanramirez5606Celtics suck 🤡
Unless the talent works hard. Celtics in 5.
Defence is better than offence.
Clearly Coach Spo is way more talent than MazuScam
Coach Spo is definitely goated!
2:34 that double travel got me actin up when I saw it
Me too and I'm a Heat fan
2:53 too
Ref, they're carrying the ball! I didn't see nothin son
Those threes were WIDE OPEN. Mazulla is a bum
Not really he’s talented coach
Mazulla can't get on the court and play defense himself. Blame the players.
@@jbizz80You're right, but it's on the coach to light a fire under everyone's ass and get them to play defense. It's on the coach to make sure their rotations and defensive scheme work, and change it if it doesn't during the course of a game
@@jbizz80the Celtics kept defending pnr with drop coverage and helped way too much/early from 1 pass away, especially of the strong side corner. Mazulla didn't change anything about that in the 2nd half. Great coaches adjust, lets see what mazulla comes up with in game 3.
@@shepardice3775coaches cant teach effort
As a life-long celtics fan I'm a little concerned about coaching and a lack of killer instinct as a team...
Defensive strategy?
What strategy? I saw WIDE open WARM UP 3s on early possession. Ridiculous.
1:54 Herro basically uses KP as a screen. I've never seen that before
Spolestra is an ELITE coach and until Boston can match his ability to strategize and adjust, Miami will beat them every time.
Herro walking around with the ball all the time and not being called bothers me.
it wouldn't bother you if he was on your team
Jason Tatum hanging and swinging from the basket twice without being called for techs bothers me
Jalen left hand should bother you
@@jude_99 calling techs on that is idiotic anyway
@fringe_minority tbh it bothers me as a Heat fan.
Thanks for the videos they keep me updated would love to download the app as well but I live in Zambia and I have a day job can't get up at 2 to watch the games So i watch them a lot later sometimes miss them altogether but your videos help keep me on top of the action so thanks
As a heat fan we probably won’t win the series but for sure feels good to take a Win over at Boston.
true dat
Aint a heat fan if u think they gonna lose.
Spo is a genius!
Big time Boston fan here. Idk who in the world “everyone” was writing off the heat but I sure wasn’t one of them. I don’t care about Boston breakin offensive records broken blah blah. I still don’t have faith in Boston after years of them playin less than they’re capable of. This series is gonna be a problem
Your channel is a vibe.. I like how you’re original.. most guys copying you.. good luck with the app. Nice little recap channel
Thanks for making this content!
Celtics have all the talent they could possibly have but unfortunately they have a rookie coach and a franchise player who can’t make winning plays. Mazulla cluelessness + Tatum indecisiveness = Disaster
Tatum and Brown are both Robins they don’t have a Batman. Batman’s in the league: Bron, Curry, Jokic, Giannis,Luka, Shai, Kawhi, Jimmy Butler. One day Maybe: Halliburton, Brunson, Maxey, Wemby
You are so right. Tatum has the skillset that can be Batman but many times becomes a Robin.
This is the series I was hoping for so far
👏 thanks for these excellent recaps! I don’t even bother with ESPN anymore…
Great breakdown
Celtics fan here. I want the Heat to win game 3 to see how Mazzulla and the Celtics deal with the pressure. They've been cocky the last few years, always at the start of the year. Let's see what they are truly made of (again).
Really? You want Miami to win another? How many times do Celtics fans need to hear “careful what you wish for”.
Mazzula playing checkers with gold pieces, while Spoelstra playing chess with silver pieces. That's what i saw on this matchup.
Is the rate game going to be available for android users as well at some point?
Damn, KP. 1 fgm in a playoff game is just unacceptable.
That’s what happens when you get guarded by bam
Miami is that annoying party crasher
🤣🤣🤣
The Heat had a hot shooting night. I doubt that will happen again, but the Celtics better be ready for anything in this series.
I doubt the Heat will win without Jimmy but if Celtics go down 2-1 I can see them crumbling under pressure
I don't think Miami will win this series buuuut, that was exactly what everyone were saying last year lmao. It would be hilarious if it happens again
Stop saying Celtics will win. Let the Celtics prove it once and for all. Heat won't fold easily just like that without putting up a fight first.
i'd love to see you cover the magic-cavs series too
I spat on my phone when I saw Pat live. The rivalry is real😂
My favorite part is that he clearly bought tickets, he's in normal ass seats.
We need the app for Android my dude! Love your videos man!
Coach Spo really is one of best of the best
Jayson Tatum has that LeChoke gene in him. Missing easy layups and complaining to refs like Queen James
This is it, chief
Goofy
I non Lebron video and yet you mentioned him
lbj living in your head rent free
Did you even watch the game? Tatum was not missing easy layups consistently. Maybe once. He played well if you actually watched
I really hope Miami could do it and finish this series till Jimmy goes back to play again
1. Make JT and JB play one on one
2. Minimize the contribution of their supporting casts
3. Make a lot of 3s
4. Keep running pnr until the bigs stop their drop coverage
Sensational 🔥
Coach Spo has always been soooo good at in-game adjustments.
i saw herro travels on 2:35 2:52 fck knows how the judge dont see :D
Coach Spo not winning even one COTY is really a crime.
2:39 keep barking my man 😂😂
The betting Era!
Tyler moves swiftly without the ball. He's a Swifty. 😉
Im a huge mavs fan but god damn if I am rooting for someone out the east im rooting for the heat!
Tyler Hero, guitar hero, super hero, it dont matter, celtics in 5
Where exactly do you get this level arrogance from? What has Boston actually won lately? If they go into Miami with that mindset after that fiasco on their home court it will be another season of WTH just happened??
Are the Heat gonna hit 50% 3s next game? I somehow doubt that..
Is there any plan to make Rategame available on android? Would love to download...
this was only 1 game. Im not afraid for Celtics this season. If in any case,THIS Miami's team won the series,i would dismantle whole Boston team. F... it😂
2:35 MASSIVE TRAVEL BY HERRO 😂
If Tyler herro does his best klay thomson impression its going to be crazy.
What is the point of grading games?
Miami is like an anime. Wothe power of friendship anything is possible
I can't get the app. It's not available for Android.
that tyler hero stepback at 2:35, such a crazy travel. Bounced the ball and made 3 steps and bounced on the 4th. Then his stepback, just before he shot, he lifted his pivot foot out of place with his small dance, which is travel again. NBA where travel happens.
100 % right
oh wow i’m sure one travel call would have really altered the ending of this game 😂😂😂
@@sophiah7995 might have. In the playoffs one pesetion can alter the the entire game even the series Heck the whole season Heck the whole life
This heat game really reminded me of the 2017 rockets, just absolutely letting it fly from beyond.
God damn; I would love for the Heat to win this series. The Celtics are clearly, clearly the more talented team on paper - especially when Butler's not playing - but Mazzulla has never done anything to make me think he's an above average coach. Spo though; he legitimately is a high/top tier coach, and that difference in coaching ability leads to results like this (that, and having a blistering hot night from beyond the arc - but I like to say, sure, they got lucky, but they put themselves in a position where they could get lucky).
damn Celtics starting to show their playoff form
LETS GO HEAT!!!
Looking like the ufc out there with that bow to the gut
Of course without Jimmy it's rough, and Miami's record this year wasn't so impressive, but it would be unwise to assume they're not any good, considering we know they have the potential, considering we saw it on display just last year... Which is to say, let's not get too dramatic on this one.
Lets go miami go win this series
Spo is a brilliant coach man
Caleb literally turns into Kobe against the Cs you cant make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣
It's personal for him😂😂
This was always supposed to happen!! That's Miami we're talking about
Is this channel related to BasketNews in any way? This voice just seems so familiar 😂
Spoelstra is one of the best coaches in the league.
Drop coverage gives a bit too much open looks to good pull-up players.
I joined RateGame. Enjoying it so far!
where are the other games bro?
pls, cover all games dont be selective
Still afraid of the ten minute mark I see
Most clips >10 min talk way too much.
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis' combined 2023-24 salaries already trump the Game 2 Miami Heat's total 🤑
No Jimmy Butler. No Terry Rozier. No problem.
Denver in the West are more than definite.
In East i predict either Pacers or Heat.
All others don't have a chance....
Awaiting the Android release for RateGame to support.
Miami got this series. They figured them out. Easy 5 games to my Heat.
Miami. The team the Bucks avoided.
Spiels tea is the Napoleon of coaches
Nice.
Best coach ever
Eric spolstra is up there on the coaching greats but he's not even close to the top yet. In fact he's working under a man who was a better Coach than he is
@@bradleybailey8893 I think most people would take spo over pat
@@YunisRajab well you're allowed your opinion but the numbers would disagree with you. Pat Riley has a better win percentage then spolstra in the regular season and in the playoffs has made it to the finals more times and has won more championships. So I don't see where you have a case, but nonetheless you're allowed your opinion even if it's wrong statistically
Talent vs talent Boston has the big edge but coach vs coach, Heat has an advantage.
Please explain for like 3years now bam still not getting offensive foul on those walking screen
2:52 we going to act like that’s not a travel
that's too much travel by miami lol
Love to see Boston losing like this. Could never stand the heat when it was Bron but they are very likeable since he left. Spo has to be the best coach in the league. They always get amazing play from guys no one expects to ball out. Respect to Herro full on Point Guard mode played in an unselfish way that he's not known for. Bam just keeps getting better and better. Mazulla is clueless and KP should be ashamed of himself getting punked by guards 8 inches shorter than him in the post.
Is the app android compatible?
No one's gonna talk about how KP can't score on Tyler Herro? A player he out length and out weigh by a huge number? Heck, no one's gonna talk about the Heat coaching staff are leaving smaller guys on that dude and he still can't score? Playoffs basketball is a different beast, so many players that look godly during the regular season will get exposed for the players they truly are. Celtics fans prepare for a tough road ahead with that guy as one of your cornerstones. Based on this result, I truly doubt that this Celtics team who only wins one way, will be ready against the top 5 teams out there in the West. As of now, I can only favor them against the OKC Thunder (because those guys are young and 0 experience in the POs), but against the other 4 teams who are versatile and physical AF, Boston's weaknesses will get exploited.
My mental Health is down Bad
I watched this game and it was a miracle they won. The heat would have to perfect every single game and imo thats not gonna happen. The celtics will find a way.
Absolutely atrocious perimeter D....'most were moderately or heavily contested'???? Don't know what Mazulla is smoking 🤣💀💀💀
Heat just cant miss. They had a good game.
The one thing I've learned over the last few series between these two teams is that home court advantage means Jack sh*t.
With brown's only 1 assist. You can't expect a win for that
Miami played like they always do in the playoffs
I never know what to expect with Miami. Their defensive genius is a given but it seems like their absurd shooting is becoming the norm as well ?
I don’t think Miami is going to shoot that good every game lol
They won't.
You never know. Yall prolly said the same thing last year. Either way Celtics aren't winning a chip with this lineup.
I've heard this exact argument after literally every game of every playoff series in every year I've followed the nba. And it's never so simple.
@@user-zb8tq5pr4x 53% from three. also made 3s breaking the franchise record. you think they can shoot this good on a regular basis?
5:15 that's an obvious travel
Its the Heat, no one should be surprised.
If spo was coaching the celtics, they would easily win a ring
