The SECRET SAUCE That Makes The Celtics Title Favorites

Check out the incredible ball and player movement here by the Celtics.
Brogdon fakes the pass and drives inside, attracting the help. So as he kicks it out, he immediately re-locates, pulling Wood out of the paint and all of a sudden Smart has a nice inside position. Notice how Tatum is also cutting to the rim.
So as we let it roll, we got the pass to Marcus and the beautiful no look for Tatum for the reverse layup.
The Celtics are playing a style of basketball that’s on a whole nother level from the rest of the league. So let me break it down and show you what makes them unstoppable. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
We see the execution right from the start on this decoy post up for Smart. You see that on the opposite side, Jaylen Brown is curling on the outside off of these 2 screens. So with Bullock trailing behind him, Powel has to leave Horford and step in and prevent an otherwise easy layup for Brown.
Tatum also steps in just enough to bump the big man on the return and this is a wide open shot for big Al and he hits it.
Just moments later, we have a similar play with Brown coming off of these 2 screens.
Now he gets the ball, and at the same time Horford dives inside, taking his man with him and in this 2 on 1 situation Powell defends this as good as possible, but a nice strong finish by Brown.
When they weren’t running around all over the court, the Celtics looked to attack Doncic defensively.
Right here Brogdon blows by him, which puts the Mavs in scramble mode. We got the swing pass to Jaylen, and another powerful drive and finish by him at the rim.
Again they get the switch here, and follow Houser as he’s going to cut all the way here and set a screen on Brogdon’s man, while the pass goes to Malcom in the corner.
And as we let it roll, look at how it all unfolds seamlessly ending with the 3.
Ok but this is beautiful: On the out of bounds play- Williams screens for Tatum who
should get another one by Horford to get the ball here, with Christian Wood and Dinwiddie focused on him the paint is wide open, so the screeners are rolling inside and Grant gets the ball Bertans rotates to help so we got the pass to the left corner and Hauser is all alone for this shot and he rattles it in. Boston is moving like a well oiled machine.
And we gotta talk about Jayson Tatum.
I love how he’s handling the double teams, being patient and making the right read.
Right here he holds it just enough to see the court and locate White all the way on the other end and lobs it to him which leads to penetration from Derrick and the bucket.
In this situation however he gets rid of it quickly as he somehow puts this ball through 2 defenders, the swing and White is the beneficiary again, this time in the corner.
And in the second half, again stays patient, engaging multiple defenders here surveying the floor as he finds Smart alone on the wing off of all the attention that was on him.
Another great play by the leader of this team.
He is really taking the next step in terms of decision making and playmaking for others.
A special shout out also goes to Marcus Smart. You saw the no look pass at the start, and watch how he threads the needle here finding Brown for the dunk.
But this one is even more impressive. Just look at this pass through the cracks of the defense right on target for Al Horford and he handles it eventually and finishes with the hook shot.
And again at the end of the game, watch the 1 handed bullet off the bounce through 4 Mavs defenders and he doesn’t get awarded with an assist but ya boy sees everything and gives credit where credit is due.
A perfect offensive display by Boston and at no point did I think that the Mavs have a chance in this game. This is why the Celtics are at the top of the NBA standings, and why the league should watch out for them. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
