Here’s our pick for Game 6 between the Celtics and Heat.
As I prepare to make my Game 6 pick, I’ve got one question on my mind:playoff history to be down 3-0, only three have forced a Game 7.Celtics -2.5 vs. Heat +2.5 Celtics vs. Heat Game 6 pickWell, the Celtics weren’t making their shots.
Boston has hit 17 more 3-point shots than the Heat over the past two games, good for a 51-point differential from deep.It’s hard to predict shooting variance on a game-to-game basis, but I doubt the Heat will run as well as they did during Games 1 through 3. First, the Celtics finally figured out the zone!Erik Spoelstra was wise to run zone defense against a poorly-coached Celtics team, but Joe Mazzulla and co. finally busted that zone.Speaking of Tatum, his 11-assist performance defined Game 5.
All of the Mazzulla criticism was deserved, but he made the correct adjustments against Philadelphia, and he’s starting to make the right adjustments here.I’m specifically talking about Marcus Smart, who tallied five steals in the victory.
