The Heat shot 23-43 from three last night. Here’s how NBA tracking data broke down those shots by how open they were:
Very Tight (0-2 feet): 1-1
Tight (2-4 feet): 1-5
Open (4-6 feet): 6-14
Wide Open (6+ feet): 15-23
Against “good” closeouts: 2-6
Against “bad” closeouts: 21-37

So the adjustment here is just to stick more to shooters and get less sucked into Bam when he’s down low. With the personnel you guys have it shouldn’t be a problem.
In other words, play defense. Pathetic excuse for a loss.
I have serious concerns about this team’s chances if Joe thinks the heat’s 3s were “moderately to heavily defended”
Heat took us off the 3point line by switching everything and just sticking to us on the perimeter. We shot a lot less 3’s because of this.
We just have to do the same to the Heat. Stick to them at the 3point line and allow Herro to beat you off the dribble or Bam to hit his ridiculous contested fadeaway mid range jumpers all game.
Live with that and not the 65% on 23 wide open 3’s
I’m less concerned about the “Open” shots because every team is shooting a ton of them. But when the Heat average 16 Wide Open 3’s per game and we give them 23, it’s ridiculous.
Obviously the defense was concerning but it is VERY concerning that the team isn’t even acknowledging that many threes were poorly contested. I am truly at a loss for words at the effort level. The guys are all fucking talk.

Yeah we all saw it…..except Joe and the Jays apparently. Really miss Ime calling these guys out.
is there already defensive stats by players? would be interesting, if all team does this, or someone getting targeted.
Joe’s going make the adjustments for game 3, but Spo’s going to do something different and Joe will be reactive and a step behind the entire series.
Mazzulla straight up lying in our face
Seriously I thought I was watching a regular season game lol. Even Scal is in complete disbelief at what he was watching!! The effort in a playoff game was really concerning.
Joe and the team think they didn’t close out bad.
Fuck off.
We can talk it that close???
So we contested only 6 shots out of 43? That is 14% of shots 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 then what the fuck was Joe talking about most shots were moderately contested? Is he not able to read these numbers? Not willing to see these numbers?
Someone plaster this stat on each and every player and coaches forehead this morning so they all can see it while they practice.
Now someone should count how many time we didnt rotate or when we went the wrong way on screens. You should go under but they go over and other way around 😀
Jrue Holiday of all people barely contested one of those late threes. Dude is a perennial all defense guy. Made no sense.
can’t believe the ppl last night who said it was all luck lol
Don’t tell me it’s not about coaching! Ime Udoka Celtics lead the league in defense. This coach is all about offense, even tonight when clearly they needed better def adjustments the dude talks about offense in the post conference. As clueless as it gets 🤦♂️
