For both Heat fans and Celtics fans, the contrast in this series from the prior ones will feel jarring.
For the Heat, everything on offense will feel more rushed and less comfortable. A lot of those clean 3-point looks will be gone due to effort and switching, and it will feel like stuff just isn’t going down as much.
For the Celtics fans, it will feel odd to watch an opponent that occasionally can generate advantages in the halfcourt, and it will feel as if more tough choices are being forced in terms of helping off shooters.
When the Celtics are on offense, things will feel a lot less stifling. It won’t feel like every decision has to be made instantly or else become a turnover. There will be weak links to attack in man, and bigger holes in the zones.
The series doesn’t really start until the Heat target Kemba. If they can’t find a way to do that, this will be over in 5, but I expect them to attack him with Butler and be able to force uncomfortable adjustments/help.
