[@JPMNRB]

Butler had 10 attempts in the entire game, he has to play more aggressive than that.

[@Ze_Moose]

Being doubled

[@silohfx]

@@Ze_Moose Same with tatum but the difference is he’s actually making plays for his teammates and impacting the game on both ends

[@matthewvaughan8192]

Paradoxically that’s also exactly what Boston want; for Jimmy to become exhausted and over-relied upon, by proxy cooling off the rest of the team’s rhythm. They want Jimmy to feel like he has to do it all himself, but not as a result of being bear-poked like in G2 or G3 whichever it was. ‘Tis an act of plate-spinning they need to keep up.

[@jamesevangelista6460]

Jimmy gonna be exhausted if he do everything the whole game. That’s why Vincent is a key in this series. Adebayo as well. Bam looked lost yesterday 😂 The problem with the Heat is their big depth. Zeller is unplayable in this series so is Kevin Love.

[@niceone1456]

That’s jimmy for you. He did the same thing in 76ers, sometimes he’s awesome, sometimes he’s not even looking at the basket.

[@HayabusaRyu]

I want Jimmy Butler to win everything because he's awesome. But if they blow this lead, as a Warrior fan, it will be nice to not have the worse blown series lead in NBA history

[@alalal123421]

[@walidsulaiman5269]

worse because they're up 3-0 instead of 3-1? I dont think anything will top losing 3-1 in the finals though so dont get too excited LOL

[@RayMoney97]

​@@IAmAHeaterExactly! But no one talks about that

[@andysawyer647]

The Heat not having a guard rotation flipped this series. They only have Kyle to handle the ball from that position. Really crazy situation.

[@kenchu4590]

injuries have really killed this team despite jimmy playing out of his mind this playoffs. but with no one to really play ease his work load he might jus burn out

[@s_ame1135]

Yup. They are fine with Vincent until he also got injured.

[@bottomofthec2824]

As a heat fan, you couldn’t be more right, great breakdown! 👍

[@jdawg6389]

When Boston are dribble driving and making extra passes to find the open shooter they are almost unbeatable.

[@jasonraff7232]

I mean, if we're talking about Boston returning to their regular season 3 point average. When are the Heat going to do the same? They shot 34.4% during the regular season. They're at 38% for the playoffs and and 41.5% against the Celtics, even after losing their best 3 point shooters in Herro.

[@lawlor2925]

Heat actually shot good lastnight and had close number yet STILL got smashed, they can't play much better then that. Heat didn't just turnover the ball, Celtics forced turnovers. If celtics play they're normal ways and Heat do too the celtics will win every game

[@mattmmixes]

Oddly Knicks did the best job of stopping the shooters, they just weren’t good enough they only have three good players and one was playing awful.

[@allwecanseeisaboveusnow]

@@mattmmixesthat’s true, defense was solid, but the offense wasn’t enough with Brunson carrying the whole team..

[@Chris-df1zr]

@@lawlor2925 the defense was terrible and lower effort than usual and there was a lot of preventable turnovers. Heat can definitely play better and have been for most of the playoffs

[@chardrive]

@@lawlor2925 this is stupid analysis lmao. the heat also had the best shooting in the league last season. this post season is them shooting more like they are supposed to. a ton of the turnovers were unforced. if they clean that part up (and spo stops going to lineups that don’t work) it will be a competitive ballgame

[@jankocbek85]

You called it coach.

[@salvadorteran5181]

As a semi-pro player I had this issue when having my back to the basket. I used to fumble every time I tried to dribble, and it's purely a mental thing. I started to learn how to absorbe contact and that did wonders for me.

[@kohsmoger1567]

3 things Miami needs to do to win game 6 1. Make sure Gabe Vincent is healthy 2. Jimmy and Bam need to be aggressive and play more in control 3. Don't let Boston destroy you from beyond the 3 point line get them off If one of these three things doesn't happen Miami will loose game 6 and then subsequently game 7

[@rhubarb1073]

thanks for the vids man. This is my first year ever watching NBA (or any sport really) but I'm obsessed. Vids like yours go a long way for me learning how shit works. If the first year I get into NBA my team (celtics) get this series and reach the finals, it'll be the most hype shit ever and I'll probably stay hooked forever.

[@bballbreakdown]

Welcome to the conversation!! Thx so much 🙏🏀

[@kaisa5268]

Jayson Tatum is the best defender the celtics has. Long, quick, athletic, and strong. He just lacks the will to contest on layups sometimes, but iit's understandable considering he is a core player and don't wanna get into foul trouble.

[@dannybirch25]

That was a clutch win Last night can’t believe we got 2 a game 7 I thought it was over

[@Qyu24]

Boston has gotten more credit for winning 2 games than miami winning 3. First it was miami got lucky for 3 games and now it’s boston figured miami out when they have 3 guys out

[@IAmAHeater]

Boston doesn't deserve shit. Miami has been missing key guys and now Martin and Vincent are out. The media is fucking blind to this. I know injuries are part of the game but to have 4 key players now out, it would be a bad series win if Boston came back, and how do u get lucky going up 3-0?

[@him280]

Miami is missing 1 player from this whole playoff series that got them here . Boston is also missing their 6th man of the year who’s been hurting since game 3 .

[@rishabhsharma5610]

@@Qyu24 as a boston fan, no excuses. We sucked, and y'all played great. BUT, I do wanna say one thing. If I was Herro, I would be MAD EMBARRASSED. As a starter, if a team is THIS MUCH BETTER without you on the floor (and it's not a game or 2, y'all have been cookin this entire post season), then you are absolutely a hindrance to your team. I hope y'all play Herro against us. Because we will destroy the old regular season Heat team.

[@lightstripes03]

In 2018 when the Celtics went to ECF and almost made the Finals, I saw that there was a potential for this team to be so good people are gonna hate em. Just like how a lot of fans turned on Golden State when they became so good. It's now manifesting and they haven't even won the championship. You can argue they're inconsistent and all, but no one is looking forward to seeing the Celtics team. You can either face their bad shooting night or they own you.

[@heb597]

Coach Nick, Boston watched your videos! Coach Mazzulla owes you big time for saving his career. Coach Nick now make a video on how Miami can get Jimmy more aggressive. Maybe the heat player being covered by marcus smart or grant williams set on/off ball screens for Jimmy. This will force a switch resulting in smart or williams guarding jimmy.

It's a make or miss league. However makes more 3s wins the game. It seems simple but also involving getting good looks and sharing the ball which the Celtics started doing last 2 games. I think the pressure will be om them though, in Miami Butler won't have another bad game and Vincent probably will be back. Hope Brown shows up, it will be a great game

From my observation, Celtics were quick in making actions & very decisive. Just look at White's shots. It's not about him being hot but whole team was clear to try to gain that split second before Heat's D can react. And, guys are more consistently in their right spots in G5 with the quicker actions without being sped up by Heat

[@Sean-Aviv]

[@seanc4487]

Yeah it was painful to watch this game as a Heat fan. I kept thinking, "Why do you keep giving Bam the ball and letting him turn it over?" Every time it happened, I was thinking that I'd rather see a missed tough shot than all the turnovers we saw. I kinda think that the zone hasn't been working well enough for them to keep using it like they have either, with it resulting in a lot of open/semi-open threes for the Celtics. Had to turn this one off at the half.

[@AngelLopez-hc2df]

[@SLFKimosabae]

I really feel as though Gabe Vincent being out is the issue for the Heat right now. JB as the primary ball handler just doesn't work for the reasons you've mentioned. This is where his cerebral play can hurt the team, because he's not willing to make a decision with the ball until he sees the Celtic's defensive set, which plays into Boston's hands, especially when the Heat are down. Gabe Vincent in Game 6 will likely swing things back into the Heat's favor. Still rooting for Boston, though (I like both teams a lot).

[@bballbreakdown]
