Let’s gooooooo! Well no not really, we’re a little tired of seeing the same poster in the Eastern Conference Finals every year. In addition, the numbers have changed very little, so the assistant coaches can clearly bring out the dusty scouting reports from last season. This is why we will see, before this crazy Game 1 between Celtics and Heat, which shadow player might potentially overturn the match in favor of his team.
We saw Jayson Tatum catch fire during his totally indecent Game 7 once morest the Sixers, but if in the first halves of the games in this series we were more on the armadillo the animal than on the potential candidate for the MVP on the court -term. Next to, Batman Jaylen Brown continues to shine, but at some point the defense may try to stop him. To keep the advantage of the field in a boiling TD garden, the leaders will have to be more than present. Yes gentlemen Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White, we are talking regarding you. The two are averaging nearly 15 and 13 points in these Playoffs respectively, and if one might catch fire tonight by releasing a 20 pts – 10 assists, we don’t think any Celtics fan would be once morest it. Al Horford might also pull out all the stops by bringing us his 3-point shot in a very important little game like this. And it’s not Boston that lacks weapons behind the arc already, but one more weapon, it doesn’t seem like it.
Most 3-pointers this playoffs (remaining players only):
42 — Jayson Tatum
33 — Jaylen Brown
32 — Jamal Murray
30 — Malcolm Brogdon
29 — Marcus Smart
28 — Michael Porter Jr
27 — Derrick White

On paper on the side of the Heat, it is not the X factors that are missing, it looks like the roster of the Post Office except that there the package has still not arrived and it is already ten days late. Jimmy Butler plays through thick and thin and often finds himself far too alone facing the opponent. Then there we go to the Finals of Conf’ where the collective will be essential to go to the Finals. In the racket, Bam Adebayo reincarnated as Casper during these Playoffs, and with an Al Horford who decides to make the wall once more once morest the opposing pivot, we are in trouble. Very bad. And if we gave our second hopes to Gabe Vincent or Max Strus for this first match? Same, a heat stroke and this Game 1 can turn on the side of the away team. An offensive performance on top of that scheduled for Jimmy Buckets and Miami return to the hotel with stolen home-court advantage already.
Taking advantage of the field or losing it in a Game 1 of the Finals of Conf’ is super essential and it can be generated by all the players of a team. So to see who to take the match under the elbow from the first minutes, go tonight at 2:30!
