#MFinalFour
They got there by their defense.
Here are 3 things they do an incredible job of defensively:
1. Making you physically uncomfortable
2. Hi Hand Closeouts
3. Contesting every shot

had arguably the league’s 2 best defenses face off vs one another.
Both teams have many schematic similarities.
Here are just a few of the Heat and Celtic’s best defensive tactics:

Easy warmup drill w/ some ballhandling & finishing using giving and receiving DHOs:
Scissors > DHO > Outside Hand
Scissors > DHO > Inside Hand
Cross > DHO > 1 Ft Rev, Outside Hand
Scissors > DHO > Pro Hop
BTB > DHO > 2 Ft Rev, Outside Hand
Side/Side > DHO > 1 Ft Rev, Inside Hand
Avoiding Mismatch
The Celtic’s do a terrific job of rotating Pritchard off when he gets switched onto a bigger player and opponents try to walk him into the post
Drill to get a little bit of everything - ballhandling, passing, finishing - working off a pass & chase:
Thru Legs/Behind Back > Pass & Chase > Rondo
Cross/Behind Back > Pass & Chase > Floater
Hardaway > Pass & Chase > Inside Hand
Behind Back > Pass & Chase > Pull Up
A wise basketball philosopher
@JaronBgame
once told me that "every player is a 50% percent shooter, every time you shoot there are only 2 outcomes - make or miss. So it's 50-50."
I can't lie... it's the most brilliant piece of basketball wisdom I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣 let it fly!
Running Double
VS Brooklyn, the Celtics would run a defender at Durant when he would begin to shoot. C’s would try & get a 2nd defender involved any time they could on Durant, especially if it meant they could have 2 defenders contest a shot
MAKING YOU UNCOMFORTABLE
You can NEVER get separation. Every catch, they are arriving with you and they never allow you space while you have a live dribble
Gabby & I could not be more excited to lead the
@MorganCountyMBB
program & join the Madison community. Bulldog Basketball has a rich tradition of success on & off the court. We cannot wait to build upon this success and help develop our young men! Time to work!
Walling Up
Both teams (especially Grant Williams) have almost entire rosters of guys who are willing and do a great job of walling up whether it’s rotating over or as a primary defender
Thanks for all the B-Day wishes! I had to go in the archives for some vintage footage. For my current players who think I'm getting old..watch til the end and take notes📔

Triple Up
Simply sitting heavy in the gaps, both the Heat and Celtics will load up on the ball when teams try to iso drive a switch they like and force the best player (Tatum, Durant, Butler, Giannis) to either pull up or drive 1 on 3
