What up Team!! I’m really sorry for leaving you hanging. The past month has been crazy, and although I’m extremely grateful and happy about the growth of the channel in such short period of time, it took a lot of all nighters, and a few days in a row with 3-4 hours of sleep. I basically operated on adrenaline. And obviously the crash is pretty bad. I was physically and mentally drained. This past week, there were days where I couldn’t do/didn’t feel like doing anything besides laying in bed or watching youtube. I needed some time off. But I should handle it way better and I am aware of that. Once again I apologize. I am working on creating a sustainable plan for creating a backlog of videos-so that you guys have your content without me having to go to bed at 9am :) Thanks for your constant support. It really means more than you think. Talk to you in the next one, Peace out!!!
Good analysis. This video hurts me a bit because I'n a Celtics fan and was so ready for us to dominate this season now that everyone is healthy. Instead we got this. But at least I still have Heat Check.
the only thing not working for them is an offense. Once they figure that out, they will go on winning streaks like the Lakers are right now. Remember the Lakers had one of the worst defense in the league and they figured it out and keep winning games no matter who the opponent is. Even without Gordon, Boston should be the top seed. With Gordon after playing 30 or more games and back to his former self, they can contend golden state.
@@ahmadmuhaemin6969 The problem is, that the players know that (for most of them) their future isn´t in Boston. They want to shine now as brigh as they can to get good contracts. This is the reason why they don´t act as a team in the offense because everybody wants his points on the stat sheet. And this could be a problem for the hole season.
One more problem is being over confident and not being in the moment They should play one game at the time and remove the mindset that they’re a contender but rather focus on winning one game at a time
I really thought you'd go more x's and o's instead of this. This could also be a big factor Celtics FG% on "wide open" looks 2018 Mook: 54% Kyrie: 51% Horford: 38% Tatum: 37% Brown: 17% Hayward: 36% Rozier: 37% Smart: 41% Celtics FG% on "wide open" looks 2017 Mook: 37% Kyrie: 43% Horford: 44% Tatum: 48% Brown: 43% Hayward: N/A Rozier: 38% Smart: 29%
I've heard this stat a few times... Not much to explain there honestly. I covered the overall shooting % of the players. It's pretty much the same. Knock down the open shots-the overall % goes up. I don't know why people talk about this stat that much. Do we expect them to start hitting open shots more? Every player expects to hit the open shot. Sometimes it goes in-sometimes it doesn't. Thus the record. But yeah, nice find, cheers brodie ✌️
Been waiting for this video. I agree with all of those. Everyone in the celtics wanna be the shot creator. No one wants to play catch thats why all shot are contested and only irving has the ability to make those.
Patrick R Kinda reminds me of why OKC struggled last year. Too many ball dominant players killed the ball movement. OKC was great on defense but awful on offense.
Nice vid. I only like to add that they are one of the team with the least points in paint per game which leads them to be one of the bottom teams with least free throw attempts per game. They settle on more threes and midrange shots. I just hope they fix it soon.
Yeah as a Celtics fan it hurts a lot to see the team struggling like this. Brad Stevens should make some changes, give a shake to the roster, idk. By the way, awesome video, very quick and effective!
Colin McSherry no way Lou is worth that much. I know he’s been a great 6th but Brown himself is more valuable than that, not to mention a potential lottery pick.
Colin McSherry I dont think it would be possible bc of the cap but with some adjustments that could do it as we definitely need a scorer coming off the bench. Brown is really struggling this season but I still hope we wont need to get rid of him
yeah, I totally agree with you, as a Celtics fan I was said this before in many comments section regarding the Celtics offensive problem. They are just playing too many iso ball and one on one type of offense, our players just simply need the ball on almost every occasion, none of them were role player at the moment. They didn't know what to do if they don't have the ball in their own hands, you'll see that very often in our games, especially when we're not leading.
Very good analysis..i really hope Celts would dominate this season because of the confidence given to their rookies..but instead its hunting them now..the ball movement is nearly gone..almost the same as my Spurs are doing now.
Finally a person who realizes that this teams struggles is all young core egos after that playoff run last year ! It tainted this team and everyone blames Kyrie smh. heat check you earned a sub and notigang from me!
Watching this Heat Check video from 3 months later and sadly many of the same things being discussed here are still going on even from last nights loss to the Blazers. Ball movement last year was just beautiful between the young players at the end of the season and into the playoffs. It feels right now like contested hero ball - with flashes of great ball movement. Sad to see such a promising squad continue to struggle so badly with chemistry issues. Almost like Hayward and Irving don't fit with this team anymore which is a silly thing to say I know.
Hi Stephen please which editing app do you use for your videos and together with the circling options please I am a RUclipsr and would like to use this for lessons videos please
As a Celtics fan for me it feels so sad to watch the team lose like this after having an amazing playoff run,I hope they fix the problem u mentioned in ur video and get back to winning so they could have a good record going into the playoffs.
Good analysis, can you do a video for the Warriors recent four game losing streak, and show the spacing issues and lack of shooting around kd and klay. Thanks for the content
Great video! Maybe it was because he wasn't fully healthy, but there was a big difference in how Irving played last year, as he was more of a "quiet playmaker", at least by his standards. This year, it seems like he is trying to do more of his trademark fancy dribbling highlight plays that fans love, but it seems like that style is actually less effective in Steven's system and feels like it's turning into a competition to see who is the best iso scoring alpha dog. There's almost nobody I'd rather give the ball to in the final seconds of crunch time when you need a bucket, but I just don't think that style of play is sustainable for the whole game compared to smart ball movement and balanced scoring. Not every play can be a highlight, you need easy buckets too.
Perfect explanation, that was on point chemistry is huge and the isolation basketball kills everything they don’t know how to play as a team and take too many threes when they are a fast break inside team
Honestly even though Hayward isn't his old self, he has probably played his role the best, other than Morris and Horford. He was willing to come off the bench knowing that he hasn't been playing as well as he could and gets my respect for that.
More than the NFL or MLB, the NBA is all about getting better as a team during the regular season and peaking at the post season. I am a Warriors fan and I like the prospect of the Celtics coming out of the eastern conference this year despite the struggles they are having offensively so far. It’s still early.
Totally agree with the whole team chemistry issue. Celtics have too many talents gathered in one area, making them more competitive within themselves, sometimes they don't pass, sometimes they try too hard to make shots. Hopefully, their chemistry will grow really soon, would definitely enjoy seeing more solid assists, alley-oops and more. Everyone so afraid of being the 'robin' to the 'batman', but honestly, there wouldn't be even a batman if the team won't play well. There are still instances in which Hayward hesitates, which is totally understandable, it's gonna take time for his unconscious mind to let him play freely again.
Those are normal FG and 3PT% for Smart. Now he's a little better with 37.5% from the field and 30.6% from 3. His new contract hasn't affected him negatively, he's taking half amount of the shots he took his first 4 seasons and he's in great shape, pretty slim.
nice analysis. they should be playing better probably after the all star break, but they might be pretty low in the eastern conference standings by then..
Lol! Going to kobe bryant, as a 19 year old, was a horrible move. Kobe is and was one of the most selfish players EVER! He ONLY cared about scoring. Him leading teams had them missing playoffs, IN HIS PRIME! Because he was so selfish and a ball hog, he needed a system and all stars to reel him and his ego in. If you follow the kobe method, your team's will definetly lose. Kyrie followed the kobe methods before lebron and the cavs were in the lottery 4 years straight. Tatum needs to stay within brad Stevens system, and cut that hero ball out. Hell, so does terry rozier
@Michael Thompson I aint hating. I like kobe. But that's who he is. You don't like kobe because he actually passed the ball. You like kobe because he shoots the ball no matter what. That's part of why he didn't even make the playoffs 3out of 4 years in his prime. I watched kobe at lower merion, and he was the EXACT same way. That way does not win championships unless you have skilled players in a system. The fact is, he was a ball hog. Tearhim listening to kobe is the WORST thing for a brad Stevens team
@@velskiejayslowcuber5045 Phil jackson and tex winter 11-2 Lebron 3-6 Never compare players to lebron. He plays chess against coaches, not against players. Kobe needed the coach to win. The coach didn't need him
Robbie Stewart right. Look at Cleveland since lebron left. That speaks for itself. He took the worse team ever to the playoffs. I hate that LeBron 3-6 argument. Can anybody name the players off the first Cleveland team that loss to the Spurs when he first came in the league? Has anybody been able to bear the Warriors team that he lost to twice. You notice they say LeBron lost that championship and not Cleaveland. Dudes be beta males.
Great analysis. I think this team needs some pick n´ roll plays right now. I don´t understand why Brad Stevens is taking so long to correct this issues. Does he confront the players as they need and as he should?
So here’s the problem with your first point... the Celtics are top 5 in the league in most areas (being 3pt line, midrange, etc.) in shooting OPEN shot attempts per game. But then they are bottom 5 in converting those attempting. Also Boston is actually bottom 5 when it comes to taking open post shots but is 4th in the league at converting shots out of the post... so your first point is pretty off Basically Boston isn’t hitting their open shots that they should be. Also unrelated but consider they are a team whose identity was around team defense. Yet new rule changes continue to hurt defensive minded teams. There is much more to Boston’s problems than what you have stated and the first point leads people to believe they are taking dumb shots when in reality the problem is they aren’t making their open ones.
Great vid! also I would like to add another reason why they are struggling. Their switch everything defense is killing them. We saw that against the knicks and jazz few days ago. On paper it looks great but on the court, there are mismatches every time.
Right now this is not a very well coached team. For a team with all that talent they have no reason to be a 500 team 20 games into the season. This one is on Brad, with his best roster yet he has failed to show why most people considered him a top 3 coach in the NBA the last few years. He needs to figure this out otherwise he'll find out that people will forget what you've done with just one bad season.
As a Clippers fan I love how were playing but we need to embrace the youth. Lou is great but he is the exact player the Celtics need. An experienced guy who can just score. And if Boston wants to deal Jaylen brown, I think jerry west would love to have him. So a trade like Lou and sindarius thornwell in exchange for Brown, Yabusele, and the clippers first round pick. Is it fair? Would this work? What's everyone's opinion?
Great video as always man! Good thing theres a lot of time to turn things around in Boston. I still believe they can beat any team in the east in a 7 game series.
@GiovannisSanctuary No they wouldnt, they were without gordon last night due to injury and they looked terrible. The last 5 games when Hayward is on the floor they outscore the opponents by +39. When Tatum is on the floor they are -20, with Brown they are -5. Hayward clearly is the only guy whos not the problem
They had a bad offense last year before kyrie got hurt, they always struggled but it got a but better towards the end of the year when there defense picked up. They were young and quick. But with kyrie and gordon in the line up its messed everything up.
When u say "Whatup everybody my name is Stephen and this is Heatcheck" I don't know why but I feel safe and relaxed BTW what you think about Advanced stats like %TS, BPM and VORP?
It’s all attitude: you got the guys who stepped up as starters when Heyward/Irving came off the bench pouting. Irving and Heyward never had time to mesh and are post injury. Ainge should’ve pulled the trigger giving the Spurs what they wanted for Kawit
I believe you're wrong, mate. Why? A very good example to compare is Raptors. Here, Last season when Kyrie was injured, those players went out and did very well. Forcing a game 7. Now, Kyrie is back, those same players aren't performing well not because they are NOT good but because they depend too much on their superstar which is the same with the Raptors. When Kawhi is on the floor, the team is good but lower scores and barely winning and losing but they've been improving. However, when he's not on the floor and Raptors lost it was huge against the Bucks and same when they win, its huge. Both teams need to learn how to adjust and when their superstars are on the floor. Make does decisions you will make when your superstar isn't on the floor. Kyrie has played if I'm not mistaken every game. If you rest him, I bet the team will win huge.
Gordon Hayward isn't our problem, its our effort and our guards (besides Marcus Smart and at times Kyrie) not being able to guard anyone and letting them blow by. I think we have to make a quantity for quality trade and shed some of our greedy young players to get a leader.
Totally right. The biggest problems in this team are Tatum and Brown who have big ego's and think they are the shit after one good season. All they do is play iso. They don't pass the ball. They only care for their own stats and not for winning games. They need team players.
Boston Celtics have been in the 20s last 4 years as far as offensive efdiciency goes..so my theory is that Brad Stevans is a great defensive/xyz coach he is limited offesively
As a lifelong Laker fan I hate the Celtics, but I can see they have a really deep team. This seems to suck right now, but come playoff time, it should prove to be a big advantage as their second team should be able to to outgun other teams second groups in the East.
My favorite player is Hayward and seeing him kinda cause the Celtics to struggle is hard to watch but either one of two things is gonna happen he's gonna get back to full power and the Celtics will win the playoffs or Haywards gonna drag them down but now we just gotta watch and see if he'll be back to his old self.

Hope you're ok man
REST MY GUY
All good brodie! All great! It's just that I need to learn to pace myself :)
Lakers are 9-2 in the last 11 games. Lakers look like a top 5 team in the west by the end of the season to me.
Nice one Sté. watch out for your health And enjoy your season
I know youtubers who will make 15 minutes video from this. Thanks for appreciating our time
Haha, I wouldn't do you like that bro
3 minutes analysis, and spot on in every second.
This is a real talent, and the world need thing like this.
Great job!
Good analysis.
This video hurts me a bit because I'n a Celtics fan and was so ready for us to dominate this season now that everyone is healthy.
Instead we got this.
But at least I still have Heat Check.

Why bother listening for hours on end to the pundits when Stefan breaks it all down in less than 4 minutes? Thanks man!
haha thanks for the kind words. Im glad you enjoy the videos
You should do some trade videos.
Like if you were GM/Head Coach of a team, who would you trade for who.
yessssss!!!
I second this
I third this 😂
Anything to give Stephen more to talk about is a good idea
Short and sweet. There is no need for a 10 to 1t minutes for this. Thanks!
I just started watching this guy and I already love him no homo, he makes a 20 min video in 3 min💯
dude u should have ur own show
I was actually wondering the problems Celtics we're facing. So, it was a great short and deep analysis.
Take care of ur health, bro
He needs to start taking care of his nutrition and do some Yoga
Boston Celtics is struggling because of a "Patrick Ewing effect" or "Ewing theory".

Last time i was this early Larry Bird was knocking down threes
LMAO!! Nice!!
Great content as always but please take care of yourself, you don't have to rush to give us more videos. Quality is better than quantity.
If tomas satoransky ever retired from the NBA, I can still sleep at night knowing we have you.
One more problem is being over confident and not being in the moment
They should play one game at the time and remove the mindset that they’re a contender but rather focus on winning one game at a time
I swear you look really cool with the lighting😂
This guy is de real MVP
really appreciate your hard work to get these clips
Heat Check always has the real answers.
Never clicked away from another Heat Check vid to a newer one so fast :D
You fit so much cool info into a 3 minute video but you don’t speak fast and it’s easy to understand
Been a while White Kyrie
I really thought you'd go more x's and o's instead of this.
This could also be a big factor

would you deal brown and yabusele and the clippers first for Lou snd thornwell

Very good analysis..i really hope Celts would dominate this season because of the confidence given to their rookies..but instead its hunting them now..the ball movement is nearly gone..almost the same as my Spurs are doing now.
Finally an in-depth analysis of Celtics' struggles this season. Thank you. God bless sir.
Finally a person who realizes that this teams struggles is all young core egos after that playoff run last year ! It tainted this team and everyone blames Kyrie smh. heat check you earned a sub and notigang from me!

He needs to figure this out otherwise he'll find out that people will forget what you've done with just one bad season.
Some PLEASE show this to Stevens before it's too late. Celtics have so much potential. Great vid btw!

I loved you on 'Malcolm In The Middle'..
😂😂
I needed a video like this as a Celtics fan its so frustrating. If Marcus Morris pulls one more three Im gonna cry.
Man I can't believe Hayward was actually offered and eventually given a max..
Without Hayward the celtics are a lot worse, hes clearly not the problem
@GiovannisSanctuary No they wouldnt, they were without gordon last night due to injury and they looked terrible. The last 5 games when Hayward is on the floor they outscore the opponents by +39. When Tatum is on the floor they are -20, with Brown they are -5. Hayward clearly is the only guy whos not the problem
They had a bad offense last year before kyrie got hurt, they always struggled but it got a but better towards the end of the year when there defense picked up. They were young and quick. But with kyrie and gordon in the line up its messed everything up.
Your videos are amazing!
When u say "Whatup everybody my name is Stephen and this is Heatcheck" I don't know why but I feel safe and relaxed
BTW what you think about Advanced stats like %TS, BPM and VORP?
Can be useful sometimes, although I feel like the basic stats along with the "eye test" is enough.
The espn should hire u man
It’s all attitude: you got the guys who stepped up as starters when Heyward/Irving came off the bench pouting. Irving and Heyward never had time to mesh and are post injury. Ainge should’ve pulled the trigger giving the Spurs what they wanted for Kawit
miss your vids bro I already send a message in your last video
I believe you're wrong, mate. Why? A very good example to compare is Raptors. Here, Last season when Kyrie was injured, those players went out and did very well. Forcing a game 7. Now, Kyrie is back, those same players aren't performing well not because they are NOT good but because they depend too much on their superstar which is the same with the Raptors. When Kawhi is on the floor, the team is good but lower scores and barely winning and losing but they've been improving. However, when he's not on the floor and Raptors lost it was huge against the Bucks and same when they win, its huge. Both teams need to learn how to adjust and when their superstars are on the floor. Make does decisions you will make when your superstar isn't on the floor. Kyrie has played if I'm not mistaken every game. If you rest him, I bet the team will win huge.
i was waiting for this. amazing video as always
Gordon Hayward isn't our problem, its our effort and our guards (besides Marcus Smart and at times Kyrie) not being able to guard anyone and letting them blow by. I think we have to make a quantity for quality trade and shed some of our greedy young players to get a leader.
Last years roster without Hayward and Irving is just excellent now that they're back makes the young guns adjust for this players.
Totally right. The biggest problems in this team are Tatum and Brown who have big ego's and think they are the shit after one good season. All they do is play iso. They don't pass the ball. They only care for their own stats and not for winning games. They need team players.
#HeatCheck, best basketball channel. BLESSED
Thank you so much brodie!!
Boston Celtics have been in the 20s last 4 years as far as offensive efdiciency goes..so my theory is that Brad Stevans is a great defensive/xyz coach he is limited offesively
Another banger video keep up the work!
superb analysis as usual!!! Kepp it up!
Where do you check offense and defense ranking?

Much love :)
do a video on the reason the raptors are contenders
Always bringing out the heatt
As a lifelong Laker fan I hate the Celtics, but I can see they have a really deep team. This seems to suck right now, but come playoff time, it should prove to be a big advantage as their second team should be able to to outgun other teams second groups in the East.
Can you try to make longer videos
Please do one for the clippers!
Planning to do either the Clippers or Montrez specifically.
Heat Check 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 ty for responding!
Great analysis!
Great to see you back!
Thx brodie, great to see yall in the comments
My favorite player is Hayward and seeing him kinda cause the Celtics to struggle is hard to watch but either one of two things is gonna happen he's gonna get back to full power and the Celtics will win the playoffs or Haywards gonna drag them down but now we just gotta watch and see if he'll be back to his old self.
Another Great Analysis of a Team that was expected to be on the Top of the East
