@@JansMarinarayeah for good reason Celts defensive scheme was falling short end of reg season, but now that Joe’s tweaked the defense he’s been getting praised every game by Coach
In Joe Mazzulla’s interview before the beginning of the fourth quarter. He said to the reporter, “Sprint back. That’s the most important thing.” Safe to say he’s been listening to Coach.
As a Celtics fan, their defense in this playoffs so far is by a landslide the best it's been since the 2022 postseason. They are on an absolute string, the communication is next level. Porzingis being out reduces their offensive versatility significantly but I think they'll survive because of how lethal they can be defensively without him. Al Horford has somehow still got it at his age and with him being the main big instead of KP they can switch way more actions. As long as they don't completely fumble their offensive execution, it is going to be so hard for any team to beat them four times when they are giving up barely anything on defense.
I think a MASSIVE part of it has been Tatum's willingness to focus on defense. He has had double digit rebounds every game so far in the playoffs and his scoring is down significantly, he's sacrificing his numbers to play team ball and be better defensively.
Another bit of Brad Stevens's genius. Not one defensive liability on the Cs this season. Similarly, bias I know, but Tatum may not be a Luka/Shai offensively despite imo not being far off but he is farrr the better defender and I think could arguably make him as valuable.
yall dont realize how good this defense is if hes making a pro Celtics video instead of anti Cleveland..... hes making Michael Malone hate videos instead of praising Wolves defense
The best thing was the clueless blank look on Kidd's face after the Thunder capped a run with an exclamation dunk to blow the game open. He looked truly confused and ready to fold. Awful Coaching is coming for him soon.
They actually gave up a ton of wide open 3s and their defense felt like it was in second gear all night, like they didn't even need to give full effort on every possession. Just takin it easy and still holding your opponent under 100. Part of that is just the Cavs' overall poor shotmaking and low firepower outside of Mitchell. If Celtics wanna win it all though there's gonna be those games where they have to be in fifth gear the whole 48 and even a single lax defensive possession could give up the difference in the final score.
@@Jago-yr6zqthese are professionals NBA teams I don't care who they are but locking up any team with switching is always much much better than stopping a player or two with double team.
Celtics is immaculate. And I get a bit sick of ppl thinking farm needs to dominate or brown which yes he did lastnight. But its not about padding stats in playoffs its about the WIN that's all.
Celtics played great D, but the Cavs cannot expect to compete if they don't can open shots. I'm sorry, you're nba players. Unless you're Tristan Thompson - HIT YOUR JUMP SHOTS. Mark Jackson's "this is a make or miss league" always holds true.
Thanks for this video. The Celtics fan group I'm in will not stop talking about how "I wish the Celtics played defense like the Wolves," like my friend are you delusional? Are your eyes not working??
They worked so hard to get a switch onto Tillman only to throw up a brick. Tillman isn't anything special, but he's a competent defender filling in a bit while Pingus is out.
The Celtics defense revolves around overlap. Each player is covering overlapping sections of the floor, and each player has overlapping positions they can guard. Meaning they can cover more space than any team in the nba, and can switch more than any team in the nba
@@jorgeramos3240been a fan since Mercer pitino era, just speaking the truth even bostons biggest fan bill simmons doesn’t believe they can win the finals against the west… I’m not saying they have no chance but seeing how tatum plays all this years we might not be able to rely on him when need be but edwards is a different beast at 22 yrs old gives me 90s alpha vibes, hope OKC beats them i do see boston beating OKC but I’m straight scared of minnesota by what they are doing to denver.

@lloydbonafide3398 i just hope I’m wrong cause what is see the wolves doing are against better competition. As good as boston has been this year, as much as they’ve fixed their choking and letting off the ropes problem. I still don’t see boston winning 4 games against the nuggets, so with the wolves manhandling the nuggets when they were destroyed by them last year, man i won’t underestimate the wolves. Regular season records mean nothing in the playoffs. I just stand with bill simmons on this just being realistic been watching the game long enough that what the wolves are doing with such a young leader in edwards is something very different special even. I just hope he has yet fully develop into that alpha player like early jordan vs Detroit. Then boston would have a chance. But going forward unless he is injury prone i can see the wolves finally goin all the way a few times even. I’m fan of boston but even more so I’m a fan of basketball. Seldom we see someone as young as edwards be alpha with a good team around him, last time it happened would be duncan winning in his rookie year and dwade with shaq. Don’t tell me you don’t see this? Jt and jb are good but i would not put them in duncan, d wade conversation. But AE is showing us something else this playoff run. lets just hope I’m wrong
I thought the Celts defense had lots of lapses but Cleveland is a zero offensively except Mitchell. Luke has come a long way from the days of the Kornet Kontest from 20 feet away.
Asking whether Psycho Joe is a good or a bad coach is a reliable test to determine whether someone actually watches games or just regurgitates bad takes from talking heads.
Bro it took you 1:17 to ether jb man just got a sub I swear to god people call me delusional cause I wanted him fired last year when we melted right before our eyes in New York … when we clearly had more talent
As a Boston fan, our defence was far from perfect. Hauser lost Mitchell on one play and Mitchell had the ball. How'd you lose him? JB ripped into him afterwards. Jrue was often also one step too far back on Donovan and gave him too much space to shoot open 3's.
I started a comment about this before game 2 and left it. I was going to mention that the Cavs offense wasn’t great, they were without Jarrett Allen, Mobley & Mitchell were supposedly banged up…blah blah blah…..but The Cavs just F’ed the Celtics in the face on their home court, leading by as much as 29 tonight. 🤦♂️🤣. I still give the Cavs a Vince McMahon #NoChanceInHELLLL for this series, but Game 2 definitely warrants an meltdown AwfulCoaching video ASAP 🤔
They play really good defense. If only their offense was half as good it would be a wrap for everyone. It looks like they genuinely don't have a choaching staff, they never run a play, it's either 1v1 hero ball or 3s, that's it.

Uh no. You have to beat their defense. In the playoffs they actually haven't relied on the 3 as much but their defense has been suffocating. You need to have multiple 2 way guys playing defense on a string. Only casuals who don't watch any games regurgitate that stupid take.
It's horrible offense. No tactical or strategic movement without the ball. No one in the post to screen off help defenders or simply score one on one in the post. Just stupid ball screen after stupid ball screen. Inability to pass on time or in traffic, or manipulate the defense with fakes.
