[@bballbreakdown]

[@j-us-t_be-in-g]

As a defender, when coming over the top of the screen, the defender should quickly reposition themselves back in front of their man so their help can also go back to their man, and defense isn't out of position. These defenses over-help too much, especially when they don't need to.

[@bballbreakdown]

Bingo

[@Casortulfo23]

the overhelf so much

[@21Kolb]

something that draymond green pointed out. Don't over help.

[@makgeoff]

It's pretty clear Mazulla has 50% responsibility (motivation, tactics, in game changes) with the players having another 50% (efforts). They were so relaxed like a reg season game while daring the Heat shooters to shoot.

[@joshuaanderson4090]

Id agree except I think, more than half of them, were wide open. And any team of competent pros will make a huge percentage of wide open 3s. If Boston wants to win they need to do better contesting. If they don't do better then I absolutely think it's repeatable for Miami to make a lot of 3s

Miami in 9

[@Rogue_Centurion]

So basically the Celtics fell asleep defensively and didn’t take Miami seriously

[@donaldpratt2296]

And got sucked into matchup hunting instead of kicking to open shooter. And the Heat hit their open shots at a significantly higher rate than they normally do. It turns out, when the Celtics play lower effort defense, don’t play their game on offense, and the Heat shoot extremely well, that’s a recipe for trouble.

[@Riqharris]

Kinda the same thing they did with the nets a couple years ago and against the sixers every year. This is why they can’t beat the heat,nuggets and the warriors in the playoffs

[@berryesseen]

They thought their names will do the defending for them. But luckily, NBA doesn't work like that.

[@joshuaanderson4090]

Which is a theme of this Celtics squad in particular. They always seemed shocked when the other team comes out and plays hard like they want to win. They be sniffing their own farts too hard.

[@SRT_DRE]

You keep saying Porzingis is in position to defend so why are the other helping him when you fail to realize Porzingis is a terrible defender and will likely foul. If they lose Porzingis to foul trouble then it’s anyone’s series. That’s why they help, to get the ball handler off him.

I expect them to try harder and be more focused on game 3 and then more relaxed and chill in game 4 if they win 3, or to actual try their best in game 4 if they lose 3. It's a team of young children. They only perform when under the crunch.

[@lothegreat1788]

That’s why I never believe in the Celtics hype. Every year it’s the same story, lacks effort on defense most of the time and lives by the 3 with stars who some times disappear. They are certainly talented but I just don’t trust em to get it done .

[@treyman_33]

Coach I have a question. How dependent are the Heat on Bam’s continuous uncalled moving screens?

[@treyman_33]

On the 8:50 screen. It should be dubbed illegal as his leg was outside shoulder width when contact was made. Same could be said about the 5:28 screen. And there are countless of other examples just in this video alone. Not to mention when he continues moving towards or through a player. Most notably the defensive foul on Jrue Holiday when Bam continuously was setting a moving screen.

[@joshuaanderson4090]

Every NBA team is dependent on getting away with at least some rule breaking when compared with the past. Carrying happens pretty much every play, travels happen pretty regularly, and so do moving screens. The league has decided to loosen enforcement of this stuff and, news flash crybaby, they loosened it many years ago. The lad enforcement is nothing new and it's not unique to your poor precious Celtics. They aren't somehow getting unjustly and uniquely screwed. It's just the way the game is played now. Get over it. Your Celtics do it too, cause you'd be an idiot not to.

[@williamdavis8855]

Run em off the 3 line... We want the no handles Celtics to drive... Boston always shoots 45-50% of their shots behind the 3 line so run them off and eventually they loose confidence and clog the lane and Mazulla has no answers 😅😂

[@markhousman8447]

As an old and a casual fan at this point, so many of the Heat picks/screens would have been called as moving in my era. Hard to stay with you man when the screener is actively running into you.

[@bertvarquez2026]

Lol excuses you have to run hard on screens. Bam screens is one of the best that many players should imitate. I believe Bam watch alot of Garnett and Duncan Screens. Just enough movement not hard but enough to not getting a call. Duncan and Garnett always do that and you need to watch it in youtube.

[@joshuaanderson4090]

It's just the way the game is. Garnett, 20 years ago, set moving screens pretty much every time. Players today carry, by how it used to be called, every single play. Most of the cool dribble moves now weren't possible before cause it's get called for a carry. Travel is also called much more lax now. It's just the way it is dude. Rules enforcement has changed.
