The Miami Heat Are Breaking All the Rules.

- The Miami Heat managed to hold off the Boston Celtics from making a 3-0 comeback, securing their second trip to the NBA Finals in five years, their first appearance since the 2020 NBA Bubble Finals.
The Miami Heat have executed despite not having a star-studded roster outside of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Head Coach Erik Spoelstra is making a convincing case to be the best coach in the entire league, putting players like Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent into positions where they can succeed. The Caleb Martin game 7 performance was what ultimately helped elevate them to the win. Erik Spoelstra managed to navigate the Gabe Vincent injury masterfully.
The success of guys like Caleb Martin highlights the importance of maximizing undrafted talent and knowing how to use guys in ways that maximizes their strengths. The Miami Heat do this arguably better than any other team in the NBA. It's what made Heat vs Celtics such a contentious matchup, and why the Celtics had such a hard time handling it.
Even guys like Haywood Highsmith getting significant run, defending premiere players like Jayson Tatum, is a testament to how the Miami Heat keep a big toolbox of players for any given scenario. Even when Jimmy Butler was struggling, they had guys who could step up. Jayson Tatum's injury was certainly something that might've helped, but the Boston Celtics just didn't step up. This win officially made them the first 8th seed in NBA history to make the NBA Finals in a non-lockout season.

Who you got winning the Finals and in how many games?
Edit: Also, would like to apologize for not uploading in a little over a week. Was in the process of moving through the end of last week and all throughout the weekend. Today is the first day I've really been able to sit down and work again. Appreciate y'all being patient, excited to get back to it!
Nuggets in 5
Nuggets in 6
Hope your move went well Alex🙏 looking forward to all of the finals videos
nuggets in 4
nuggets bust a fat one on 5
I think this playoff run has solidified if it already wasn’t solidified that erik spolstrea is the best coach in the league right now and caleb martin going from a solid role player in the regular season to at some points being the 2nd best player and regularly being the 3rd best player on the heat this series was one of the biggest reasons the heat won this series
Tbh I feel like he had a really good case to have won ECF MVP
@@AlexHoops i agree i think caleb martin deserved it over jimmy butler tbh especially with how bad jimmy played from game 4 to game 6
@@behindthearcyt I saw a comment that said that ever since Steph didn't get FMVP in 2015, and how that affected his legacy and how people talked about him, now voters just give it to the best player on the winning team, unless there is a big numbers discrepancy. Like if the Nuggets win and Jamal Murray wins FMVP, then people will use that to dog on Jokic, even though he won a chip.
@@shorewall I mean the regular season mvp hasn’t been given to the best player in the league for awhile now so idk why fmvp would be any different.
I think we are moving towards a type of basketball that relies more and more on adjustments and how you can react to each team. We’re seeing that stacking stars on a team isn’t enough without proper preparation.
Tbh Miami is the closest thing to European basketball culture and intensity. Some of those coaches wont tolerate shit and i respect them for that. Same with the Heat.
Them and the spurs mentality 🤝
Faith,Believe, and Trust that Jesus Christ Shed his BLOOD for YOUR Sins, and you'll be saved. He's coming soon🎉
@@user-qk5je4pl2j reporting your comment as this has nothing to do with basketball
@@user-qk5je4pl2j thanks but that’s kinda out of nowhere
Don’t forget Pat Riley one of the greatest coaches of all time being a consultant to the current best coach in the league
Learned from the best. People tend to forget that Spo was also one of the assistant HC during the 06' finals too.
Lebron wanted Spo fired but Pat held on him. He saw something on Erik and trusted him.
@@kaiser741And the funny part is Lebron played like sh** in games 4,5 and 6 of the 2011 Finals but wanted Erik Spoelstra fired
I think this year also validates the play in tournament. Having a team make the Finals from the tournamnet shows that there is always a chance. It also breaks the narrative that teams in the tournament are "only playing to get swept in the first round."
also prevents top seeded teams avoid certain teams at the bottom half because of the uncertainty of the play-in. play-in is great!
Ya
💯💯💯
I didn't like the idea of a play in tournament, but you're absolutely right.
I love seeing #8 vs #1 In a finals situation. Not a basketball fan, but found myself watching these playoffs and now the finals. Main reason I’m watching is the 1st vs 8th matchup. However, I’m also watching because the Warriors and the Lakers aren’t in the finals. Kinda got tired of those teams as soMeone who’s on the outside and has a hard time getting into basketball
They have a saying if you stay Ray you don’t have to get ready. It’s more than just finding guys and using them, it’s developing them and trusting them. Look at how many coaches were fired this season alone. Coach Spo has the final say in how his team is prepared and what plays to run and he’s been able to gain the trust of his players as a result. Most organizations can’t replicate Heat culture because as soon as there’s one bad season they jump ship. Heat culture is just as much learning through misery as much as through success. Most teams fail and give up for so long when they get a talented team, they don’t know how to win. The Heat reminds me of a college program where no matter who you are or what decade, their core identity is the same. Hats off the Heat. There’s proof that you don’t have to tank to be successful.
Yes better to develop team than trading the whole roster off for just another what if chance like the lakers.
@@zilverman7820 why would them Lakers need to do that they need to neutralizing everything and always have to try win with a old lbj and injury prone ad
Spoelstra was the director of scouting before he became the head coach. He is knowledgeable in finding the strength of his players and using it at the appropriate time.
@@JuanGarcia-tb7ph he got promoted like twice before becoming hc. Aint no way its video coord to hc real quick lol
This is the Recognition Caleb Martin needed. 💥
Coach Spo and anyone on the court for the heat is a great combo.
Lmao true
In your opinion coach pop or coach spo?
And i love coach pop but spo showing he can make do with literally nobodies is something i think makes him the best coach *right now*.
Amazing analysis! We don't get a ton of videos like this as Heat fans. Explained it perfectly
A lot of people talk about the Heat's zone which does cause a lot of problems. However, what doesn't get mentioned enough is when Coach Spo decided to pull out the zone. I remember there was like 35 seconds left in the half and the Celtics wanted to go for a 2 for 1, but the Heats pulled out the zone and prevented that opportunity. One of the most genius moves I've seen recently.
Holding the players that the sign and or draft accountable is a huge reason for their success. Coming in out of shape is a big no no for them doesn't matter who you are. Where as certain organizations let that stuff fly because they don't want to "upset" their players..
The Heat and the Spurs have the best cultures in the NBA to me personally
And that could be why they don’t really try to go after big stars and they play off role players because role players are a million times more humble and they play much better team-basketball vs just signing a bunch of stars and hoping it works
7:44 Look at Martin moving off ball. No wonder this team is in the finals
Also what the eye test showed me is Martin is great defender. And the great defense by the heat was the key for winning game 7.
wrong time tag i think, he has the ball there
@@joefawcett2191thats duncan with the ball, caleb perfectly cleared the lane for him. Very high iq move
Hell yeah that instinctive IQ cant really be taught
Fun Fact: Cody Zeller is the highest drafted player on the Heat at #4
Oladipo was drafted at #2, but the point still remains. Also, I think Jimmy being drafted at #30 doesn't get talked about enough-he's essentially a second rounder
Giannis: "Oladipo and Zeller over me!?"
Kidding, but yeah 2013 was a rather disappointing draft class.
Enjoyed your analysis. Makes me understand and appreciate the Heat even more. Thank you!
keep up the great videos man you're a beast. do some for finals consistently!
It’s crazy how in this era of heliocentrism, the upside of having an off ball game like with Curry or in this case Martin isn’t utilised by more star players. Makes a team so much more dangerous
Coach Spoe made the team special period. Best coach in the NBA
Best thing they did to Win these series is Trust to Each other Capacity as a Player and Coach best ability to make the right Play Defense or Offense... More Power to the Organization... rudyL...
Celtics were off guard against Caleb Martin.
Heat are playing like everyone on the team is a professional basketball player..
Well said
almost like they should get paid for this
This team is a lot more interesting than LeFlop's. Real basketball.. Love this "no excuses, just get it done" mentality of the heats
lol of course someone managed to mention lebron, y’all obsessed with that man
@@datkiddtho lmao and they get aton of likes for it smh that man loves rent free in goofies
Absolutely tremendous video. As a player and coach, I have preached this my whole life. Glad to see it in my son.
Good commentary regarding ball strategies 🎉
Appreciate your content
this vid is so good im actually watching and not skipping the ads
The experts are predicting Denver in 5, but I think it will be a lot closer and can go either way.
Well said point at 2:42 about shot creation. Always say Miami's offensive style reminds me of Villanova. Dribble penetration heavy with emphasis on shooting when you have space
- great breakdown- will sub- w ^
good analysis brother!
Very nice review, you said 29 GMs look into Miami Heat and try to understand what they did right? - I think it boiled down to consistency... every time a coach is replaced, a GM is replaced it sets them back a few years and when they are starting to have some success and failure - they look to replace the GM.
Miami has that level of consistency, Spoelstra been the head coach for more than 13 years (let alone was in another capacity before that) - that is consistency right. Spoelstra has had a number of years with losing record season and despite that, Pat Riley stuck with him.
And now, Miami is reaping the fruits of it's labour for years before... another is how Miami developed undrafted and scrub players but that is another story.
The Team that can Make adjustments. Always Win's the Finals
Nice video bro.
Heatnation stand Tfuh up. 🫡🏀🔥 we need to win just 4 more games . 🥹
Nice analysis!
Nice work sir
Great vid but Max Strus hair when he was at Depaul distracted me 4 the rest of the video 😂😂
I saw this video title and thought you were going to talk about how Bam makes a moving screen on every play
The scriptwriters be cooking with this one 🔥🔥🔥
gabe vincent is so on fire
Is that DJ Khaled court side?! Wild
Ppl forget but a lot of fans wanted Spo to be fired after his first season. I think having any coach sticking with the same team, the same organization is going to end up better than this rotating carousel that most of the league is doing. Coaches can get better just like players.
8:22 shows why Butler's teammates shined. 4 on 1 vs Butler.
it was by design by Spo
Look at Whiteside and you can know how talented the coach is
Heat! Let's go all the way baybie!
while they deserve it, dont think anyone is beating denver
great VID once more mate
Go Heat 🏀🔥😊
good analytics
Respect your film break down
Impressive opinion & review. keep up the good work!
I personally believe that Spo is the best coach of our generation, with Steve Kerr obviously being the only competition (I think coach Pop was better in the 2000s when his style wasn’t somewhat outdated)
Also: switching it up and having Robinson act as a cutter, which he did really well, was a nice wrinkle as well.
To follow up on that Martin point about attacking off the catch, Klay Thompson himself had a 50 point game on 11 dribbles. It's definitely possible to be an efficient scorer if your fundamentals are sound, your confidence is right, and your team and coach have faith that you can make those kinds of shots. You can give your stars a rest for a couple of baskets on the court which always helps back on defense.
Like mj. He also become a off ball scorer.
That's crazy cuz I'd never heard of him before
My philosophy is that you don't motivate players with speeches; you have motivated players that you draft. That's where they come in, and those are the guys that are competitive. You can not teach competitiveness.
Phil Jackson
Heat are changing the game of basketball.
nice job alex
Bro what a break down! How do they stop the joker?
Cinderella.....was Boston !!!😅😁🤣
5:38 dont forget Pat Riley, "you dont come to me and tell me to fire a head coach." Pat Riley
Ok to be fair when they showed that Caleb Martin bucket at the end of the 3rd quarter it was so obviously a double dribble 😂
It's the same with the Warriors last season.
2:34 how was that not a travel... the fuck? LOL
Smart play by Cmart. Can his twin brother play too?
Nuggets or Heat?🤔
I’d lean the Nuggets but the Heat have defied all odds and expectations throughout the entire playoffs so I don’t even feel comfortable betting against them lol
Nuggets
Nuggets
Only the ball can tell!
Not about where you start it’s where you finish
Martin is basically in Jae crowder/P.j Tucker role which is to defend the opponents best player and knock down 3's. but he's too efficient and looks like a star player out there.
This Play in Tournament will fine tuned to avoid this again.
3:03 those are crazy numbers
They're about to be 5 games out
The Heat's undrafted players hopefully revives the NCAA's division II and division III players entering the NBA and making an impact.
Pat Riley
From a long suffering Knicks fan
Unfortunately this’ll make Dame chase the grind harder
when derrick jones jr declined the heat caleb took his spot he has the ability to defend, miami scouting player is good just like hassan whiteside era when the time he can't play miami let bam play and bam has a potential that's what heat culture is they want a player that can play undrafted or drafted just like kendrick nunn , when he decline miami he can't play now..because miami heat give their players confident to play not for the stats..
If bam can watch Draymond jokic film and learn from that
Papa Martin made a star of Caleb Martin.
Hello, Humans
Stay humble, stay focused, stay disciplined, because a focused mind is very powerful.
TERRANCE OUT
Ok
If we being real no teams develop and scout players like the spurs and heat fr
The Charlotte Hornets star Terry Rozier can learn from this because dide will dribble the sgot clock before getting a W.
It's unfair to call them an 8 seed, I understand they lost the play in, but in almost every other nba season, they are a 7th seed.
its still nuggets in 4 bruh no way Bam stopping Jokic or Gabe vincent guarding Jamal Murray
4 maybe 5 but agreed. If they'd swept boston maybe would have thought differently but this nuggets team is something else
@Joe Fawcett the nuggets wouldn't sweep boston either. The eastern conference is a lot tougher than the Western conference.
Who even this type of stereotype "role player", "undrafted" and so on ... look like secret society where only a certain range of folks can win award besaused they are labeled this or that
Caleb martin exposed tatum and brown.
So Miami +8.5 on Thursday then???😁😁😁
Nuggets in 4 easily
8-seed played against teamas with injured top players.
#WeLieWeCheatWeSteal #WeDaVillains #LatinoHeat #HeatCulture
😅😅😅
Whets the GOAT? Not here? HAHAHA
unwritten shit cant be broken. theres no rules saying teams cant win. nor does history mean shit to the present
I got nuggets in 4
