A weird thing that I don’t see a lot of people talk about is how easy Jimmy takes contact and doesn’t let it effect his balance. His body language is so composed during his shots.

[@knucklevision]

Partly his strength and athleticism and partly his calm confidence. When you are anxious or too hyped you overexert/overcommit too early. Jimmy is, like you said, staying within his balance and strength and keeping his countermoves open until he finds the opening he wants- he's patient, confident, and has the strength and skill to do this. Love watching him work.

[@negative2positve380]

Definitely a product of his strength

[@vict1435]

Cause he doesn't look for the flop like 95% of the league. When he rises, it's to score. Like Kobe and MJ

[@JiggensSoliven]

It is obviously not a good position but I would not count the Celtics out. Not at all. Celtics have had success on the road. Winning an elimination game in Philly. The Celtics have far more talent but the Heat are playing as a team.

@@piotrzbies8683 Those team records, in different eras, are rather meaningless. We are dealing with new players. In general, *ANY* team that wins the first two almost always wins the series. *The overall record for teams winning the first two is 56-6!* . Butler (when playing with the Bulls) was on one of the very few teams that has lost a series after leading 2-0. And he lost that series to the Celtics in 2018. Not saying that it will happen here again but it is a bit more meaningful statistic.
