Boston Celtics and Miami Heat played a first game according to expectations. The two best teams in the Eastern Conference in the Bubble, they had the luxury of giving NBA fans a closed game, which was defined by details in overtime. Those from the Ciudad del Sol dominate the series 1-0.
The Finals of the Eastern Conference of the NBA Playoffs have just begun, but those led by Erick Spoelstra have several arguments to believe that they will be the finalists of the NBA. In fact, the first game last Tuesday did nothing more than generate more expectations for them, as the Celtics again sinned from their own mistakes, although this time they found a team in top condition.
Bam Adebayo is the player of the night in the NBA. The Heat intern once again proved that he is one of the best in the league at the pivot position, because in addition to another enormous performance, he made a play that will forever keep him in the memory of the league: a block with five seconds to go into the overtime to Jayson Tatum, giving the victory to his team.
The impact for Boston can be very great. The first reason is that This will take Tatum out of confidence. The 22-year-old is the leader of the team, but he has made a mistake in some decision-making and not precisely in that memorable play against Bam; Jayson decided to throw a kilometer shot when the Celtics needed a point in the regular stage and also was the offender of a 2-plus-one foul against Jimmy Butler in overtime. Without a doubt, it may weigh on your head in the future.
Kemba Walker played badly again. Only 19 points in 43 minutes, with a lousy shooting percentage of 6-19 and 1-9 It may be a coincidence, but it is a situation that has been happening since previous phase against Toronto Raptors. His lack of experience in these situations did not seem that important, but it is clear that something is happening to the experienced of the team. Situation similar to Jaylen brown who, although much younger, he doesn’t take the ball in hot moments, a different situation than rookie Tyler Herro.
The outlook is not positive for Brad Stevens and company. His main problem is mental, something he has managed to camouflage with Marcus Smart and a plug from another game against the Raptors. Boston needs Gordon hayward now, because it is clear that the impact of Adebayo can be decisive for the Miami Heat from Spoelstra.
