Listen to Whats Wright with Nick Wright: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
no
Really looking forward to this match up. I feel like this is a great series for basketball purists. Two squads that play team ball, and play hard, and value defense. Not many spectators on these rosters.
Facts
This was the same with Celtics-Bucks
@@jonasrajagopal2485 Bucks offense was anemic. Elite defense from both teams for sure
Like you said "play team basketball".....they both have great coaching staff. And it starts at the top, the organization are about winning. As long as everyone just play ball, stop the flopping and arguing with the ref......we'll have a great series
Exactly I can name some teams full of spectators though
As a Miami fan, I LOVE that no one is picking us to win! Always overlooked but this will be the toughest test for the Celtics. Their defense won’t be as effective as it was against the Nets or Bucks because there isn’t one central guy that you can just throw 5-6 different bodies at throughout the game. Miami is the deepest team in the playoffs and the best coach imo
I got Miami in 5 if Oladipo heat up
Heat in 6
Yea they are sleeping on us but the championship goes though South Beach. Stop disrespecting us
That's not how the Celtic defense works, their defense isn't good because they can lock down one guy with multiple defenders. What you saw from the first two series was a modification. Celtics primarily defend 1v1, switch everything, and use Rob as a weak side safety shot blocker. If anything, Celtic defense will be more effective, or at least, more capable of defending to their comfort zone.
The bucks were literally the toughest test for the celtics and you saying "as a heat fan" your whole entire argument is discredited because you're clearly biased 😂 celtics shut down the two most skilled players in nba history and went through Giannis. Jimmy butler is absolutely nowhere near those guys.
Never really listened or heard of Nick Wright until recently, but I feel like hes hit the nail on the head on quite a few of his takes....The lack of notoriety given to Jimmy Butler has always baffled me. Dudes been one of the best SG/SF in the game for quite some time. He plays alot of point aswell, is a beast defensively, and is clutch. Jimmy Buckets is a superstar.
Star yeah. SuperStar? Eh... I have a tough time putting him on the same level as Steph, Durant, Giannis, Lebron, but maybe that's just because raw talent? Honestly the man can lead a team which is really under-valued.
@@oneman5753 Yeah. I think you just said it too....Intagibles are huge and do matter. Its pretty much been proven that accumulating raw talent alone wont get u there. The players n pieces have to fit.
Jimmy played against much weaker playoff comp. He won’t be able to get shots off
against the Cs
He's gotten a lot of things right in the past as well that blew me away, like the clippers of years past, that as soon as he started saying the Mavericks I knew we were gonna see something crazy out of Luka this post season.
@@justincote2744 That take aged poorly.
Who's here after the heat took game 1?😎
Here after the molly whopping after game 2.
Keep that same Energy!!! Did you watch game 2? Miami's OWN fans ran out of the building in the 3rd quarter. Empty seats!! Celtics literally just came from playing a game 7, eliminating the defending Champs. Had no time to rest. They were clearly exhausted! Game 2 tho, now you know who you're playing against.
Gotta agree with Nick Wright - I think the Celtics are the better team, but Jimmy Butler is definitely underrated!
He definitely is, but if this Celtics defense can make KD and Giannis play worse, then Jimmy surely will also
Imagine if KD played the sixers and the hawks, he’d average 45pts
@@cammorey0331 - I don’t know about that because of the different play styles among Jimmy, KD, and Giannis. Jimmy is a better playmaker than KD and Giannis, so Jimmy will move the ball more swiftly and accurately plus be more decisive/selective with his shot. Jimmy is arguably a better help defender than KD and Giannis too. Jimmy’s play shouldn’t be taken lightly. I still pick the Celtics to win the series.
@@mikelmoon100 I agree in all but one point- No way Jimmy is a better Help Defender than Giannis! (He might be better at the perimeter though.)
He is but they played against the hawks first round who has no defense and a very disappointing Sixers squad in the second round so his efficiency in the playoffs is probably a little inflated
Can we talk about Wildes nailing that lottery prediction he just threw in there about the magic? Lmao 😭
Game One: Jimmy Butler-41; Jayson Tatum-29.
When’s the last time Tatum had a 40 point triple double cause Butler did it in the finals

“The Curse of the Broussard”
-Genius
I go with miami, butler is a quite assassin, their team has got role players galore, & hard to pick who is gonna di what. Boston got my respect for sure, Miami still taste the one that got away & they can match the great coaching of boston. Its gonna be a great series, but it also may come down to who gets hot on threes the most gms. Slim margin for the heat. Both bets here for me thou.
Boston defense hits different . Sixers didn’t have embid the first two games. And he was hurt.
Boston's got too closets to Miami one
I don't expect Jimmy Butler to continue averaging 28 ppg, especially not against the Celtics defense.
@@beenjane5941 ok and?
@@jasonmoukala8909 and Boston in 5
Tatum is the most conventionally talented player in the series. Jimmy Butler is the best basketball player in this series. I think another point that is not being discussed is that the offense of the Nets and Bucks was way more predictable and easy to game plan against than the Miami Heat. When you play the Heat you will have to make multiple adjustments within each game because they exploit what you give them. That’s what makes them so dangerous despite not having a superstar that passes the “Eye test.” It is also why they were able to secure the number one seed despite the injuries they sustained this season. The Celtics are playing really well and if they do win I wouldn’t be shocked but I’m going with the Heat.
Yea jimmy not better than Tatum.
Yeah no not anymore tatum is a top 10 player butler is not butler has a higher basketball iq that's it though everything else tatum is way better
@@craigkleszczynski6745 I started seeing Tatum as the new KD or a better version of PG13. He's long, athletic, got a handle, has no weaknesses offensively nor defensively.
whatever that means… Tatum better
@@craigkleszczynski6745 Butler has just as high ppg but shooting over 50% (only him and Giannis this playoffs) and plays just as good defense. Tatum definitely more talented but not necessarily better right at this moment and Tatum has been very streaky. I’m a Heat fan and imo it’s a tie right now.
As a Cs fan I am very concerned. The Bucks and Nets had very stagnant offenses that let our defense set up in the halfcourt. The Heat move the ball and have off-ball runners like Duncan and Tyler. Our defensive rotations must be extremely crisp and it would not surprise me if we lose this series
They'll be defensive liabilities too
I feel the same way. Everyone’s overlooking the Heat. Herro and D-Rob can heat up anytime plus Strus has been great. They are so deep they have Victor Oladipo coming off the bench. Plus Erik Spolstra is gonna make his mark on the series
Fact is ur team is going down..100%
I think they C's size will help their defense with the type of offense Miami runs.
Herro cooked us in 2020. That was really upsetting but he earned my respect
Victor olpido is the x factor in this series for Miami Heat
Maybe learn to say Victor Oladipo’s name first before saying he’s an X factor, pal
Idk Miami Has a lot more 3pt shooters than Herro. Spo is known for putting together specific gameplans that vary wildly from one round to the next
The fact that 2 of the Miami guards are undrafted players, hence the Heat are at a disadvantage is a terrible argument. If Miami, and the many number 1 pick busts over the years have proved anything, it´s that this is not a deserving criterion.
can't be worse than the starting back court for the bucks lol
Wildes called the magic draftin #1 🤣🤣
I got the Celtics but cmon now don’t disrespect Miami. The number 1 seed in the east with great defence and very good offence particularly 3 point shooting. Tatum is the best player in the series but cmon respect Jimmy and the guys
I maybe crazy but i like Nick Wright...he's autentic and smart when it comes to basketball...love his takes
I got Celtics in 6. Miami got too many injury questions. Bam has been a non factor on offense. Jimmy has to do too much.
Bam has been a non factor on offense scoring the basketball.
I can tell you don’t watch Heat games
Bru picking Celtics? That means Miami gonna win it
Injury questions? Miami is the deepest team in the league, and only Lowry is out rn, they'll be fine.
@@tamiasrodentia21 Most of these talking heads don't watch them.
THANK YOU NICK FOR POINTING OUT JIMMY BUTLER ACCOMPLISHMENT.
I got a feeling Miami will get this. Giannis played great but ultimately I am not sure the Middleton-less Bucks were indeed a greater challenge than Miami with home court. The Heat kinda knew they are getting passed the injured Embiid and the Washed-up Harden, just as they know they better bring the A-game to deal with Tatum and Brown. Miami does not have Giannis but Jimmy, PJ, Bam, and Lowry when he plays, are dogs. Even if Celtics win this it will be way harder than what this segment made it to be
Celtics road has been so much harder it feels impossible not to pick them. Celts getting their get back vs the Heat from 2020 ecf and going to the finals!
how has it been harder ? they both faced a injured team in the second round
@@jawick5150 big difference from the best player and 2nd best player on the opposing team being injured. Not to mention Giannis is universally recognized as the best player on Earth right now
@@jawick5150 if you think the hawks and 76ers are comparable to the nets and defending champ bucks, you are smoking that crazy pack
@@Greenbeans572 ok
This series has the potential to go down as a masterpiece.
Celtics in 5 gentleman’s 🧹 sweep
If they win tonight it's boston in 5. Lose tonight, boston in 6
So the Celtics are winning 2 or 3 in Miami???
@@williamdavis8855 won 2 in Milwaukee 🤷♂️
@@keithhammond1148 bucks won 2 games in Boston lol
Heat need my man Oladipo to be bigtime offensively in order to even have a chance to beat Boston in this series.
Yeah he said the same thing about Memphis Grizzlies & Phoenix Suns!!!
Imagine saying Tatum is better when the other guy is averaging the same amount of points but shoots a better %

@@eddsuperstar smh u sad jit
I don’t think anyone knows how to pick either of these series. In the best way possible. Should be two really interesting series.
Maybe checking in Duncan during Bostons offensive lulls might be a decent strategy.
Lol I love this show… Nick solely picked Miami cause the others picked the Celtics and he made an actually compelling case 😂😂. A broke clock is right twice a day and considering Broussard was right last series makes me think he won’t be this one 😂
Broussard was wrong....bucks lost, mavs won. Broussard predicted the opposite
@@alanshellykoshy112 Broussard predicted Celtics in 7 look it up
Tatum is the best player in the series, Nick. Stop being a goofball.
Broussard is continually getting Luka and Jimmy Buckets wrong.

It's going to be a great series. The one team with less errors will win it.
I think Miami would have less errors.
Errors? This isn't baseball. You mean turnovers?

smart choice
Bro i got heat vs mav in the finals but mavs gotta keep playing that same defense
Heat, in 7. Jimmy Bucket's all day. Watch this happen; he is not in the bubble this time.
They give us no chance we love the disrespect
@@MrMaybachJizzle I agree, none. Watch them eat crow.😅🤣
I can already hear Gilbert Arenas complaining about the low scores... they are gonna hold each other under 80 every game lmao.
Butler , bam and pj tucker are great defenders so it’ll be interesting
This is a difficult one for me because I these are the both teams I wanted to see win a ring. . . Anyways, I think whoever wins this one will win the ring
People forget Spo is the best coach in the NBA. Butler is not as great as KD and Giannis but Nets scheme is KD taking turns with Kyrie and Giannis is missing Khris Middleton. People will surprised how well Heat gonna play as a team

Lmao.... this show should just be the Nick Wright show... the others are literally paid to be wrong 🤣...
To say the truth , Butler hasn't faced the same type of team this post season , not to knock on Miami or Butler but that's the truth . all respect to Miami .
To me if the Heat are going to win this series, they are going to need more from Kyle Lowry overall but particularly on the defensive end even though he's not what he use to be because of his age and the mileage on him.
The thing about Lowry he has been one of the best two way point guards for a very long time and he's one of those star point guards who could adapt to different roles which some star point guards are not able to do.
Overall I'm betting on the Heat.
Lowry is a liability on d..
@@rontungol1383 Yeah I know and that's because of his age and the mileage on him but if he could turn back to what he use to be to a degree particularly on the defensive end then that would really help this Heat team.
They’ve been better without him these playoffs. He absolutely helped them in the regular season but Boston will do everything they can to take advantage of his height and age the same way the Mavs did CP3
So obvious these guys don't play ball...grit ,tuffness and heart is never measured on tv!!
this is a good matchup. I think the only reason the media is on the Celtics train is because of the postseason matchups. If Miami swept Brooklyn and then beat the bucks, I think the narrative would be different
Great point! Miami played the Hawks...worst team defensively in the playoffs. 76ers with injured Embid (and choking history)...I would love to see this series with both teams healthy. Probably not gonna happen. I think a 7 game series for sure.
Pritchard will come up big if Smart doesn't play. He is definitely ready.
the cels deserves a win this year tbh, going through the hardest teams
Boston has a great chance to win unless Duncan Robinson, Tyler Hero or Oladipo up there games
Duncan doesn’t even play
Lol Jimmy Butler played the hawks and the quitting 76ers. It would be crazy if he didn’t have good numbers
I think that Jimmy Butler is slightly better than Jayson Tatum rn, but I'm hoping my Celtics win anyway. 👍
Everyone said the same thing back in 2020. Everyone picked the Celtics.
Did they? I felt like Miami manhandled Milwaukee, and entered that series as the favorite.

love this show
The only thing that will keep the Heat in this series is the coaching of Spoelstra. Boston can win on the road. Brown will cancel out Butler offensively. After that, the Celtics have better outside shooting and more wild cards who can get hot on any given night.
Celtics don’t have better shooting lol Miami is the best shooting team in the nba when we look at the entire season.
Nick, Butler's numbers are like this because the Heat played the weakest teams. Tatum had much more of a challenge.
Lol.. the Nets we're horrible, zero defense..nothing hard about that...
The Bucks were not tough once Middleton got hurt, but the Bulls couldn't do it.. Boston went 7 games with Giannis and The Greek... Middleton would've made a difference but playoff basketball is tough no matter how you pick it...
I think the celtics are a very good team. Tatum has lots of help. but the heat are tough tough!!! should be great basketball!!!!
We DAWGS lol
Anybody remember when Tyler Herro said he was better than Luka? Well this series would be the perfect time to prove it lol
Facts
2020 heat fans : I would not trade Tyler Hero for James Harden
2022 heat fans: heat in 7 hero finna go off
Outside of inside the NBA, this group is my favorite sports analysts. I would say Undisputed I love Uncle Shay, but Skip, smh, I can’t with Skip.
UNC the Man! 💯
Jayson has those stats against the bucks and nets vs jimmy playing the hawks and sixers. Celtics in 6 maybe even 5
Horford ans Rob weren't playing against the Heat in 2020.. also grant hadn't yet developed into a 3 and D player. The celtics are very well rounded. It should be a good series but compared to the bucks series this should be a walk in the park.
Exactly correct
Strus and Vincent hadn’t developed. Oladipo was there. Herro has developed even though he’s had an inconsistent playoffs so far. Tucker wasn’t there. Both teams have gotten a lot better
@@alexescutia4805 strus being a factor is like saying Payton Pritchard is going to take over the series
I'll give you tucker simply for defense

@@alexescutia4805 in just saying lol they are who we know they are
Nick Wright.... ..The King of Sarcasm
Chris Broussard is always wrong with these predictions 🙄
Miami winning, anything less should be a upset. Miami just made Harden look old, shut down embid, this will go 6 at most. Love Boston, wouldn't mind them to take it all, but it will not happen. Both teams where playing against injured teams, worn down teams, and Miami didn't let them hang around, where all honestly, The Bucks let the Celtics hang around, and now we have Boston vs Miami...
The Celtics let the Bucks hang around. This is a horrible take.

Both team has great defenders fighters.. great coaches,.. finishers..great shooters..awesome matchup.. Chris is correct.. Miami offense is inconsistent.. Boston win by size
If the three is falling for miami they can beat anybody because their defence is really great.
same can be said with boston
@@Camefromnone it's true but miami has more shooters strus Vincent oladipo herro tucker Duncan, and i know that boston has the best defence in the regular season but miami didn't have bam and Jimmy for a long stretch of this season, so I do bileive they are the best defence in the league.

@@marouanerafiki9155 its not a conclusion it’s Facts! Miami has been playing really easy teams on their way to ECF… Boston has had the harder road. The heat will get beat down first few games and then adjust but it will be too late. Celtics in 6.

Derrick White off the Celtics bench is a perfect matchup for them against Tyler Herro
It's very possible for Jimmy to be the resounding best player in this series but that doesn't matter. We saw it with Giannis and he's a better player than Jimmy. Celtics will shut down his 3pt shooting so I say the X factor of this series will be Bam Adebayo. if he's able to feast down in the paint they'll have a good shot but I have to ride with the Celtics
Ppl sleeping on Miami. Number 1 seed and were not healthy much of the year. Butler is playing great 2 way ball this playoffs just like he did in 2020 playoffs. Bam and Butler are top3 two way combo in NBA. Lowry health is important (just heard out Game 1 don’t like that) but Heat added two tough as nails defensive vets who have won titles in PJ Brown & Lowry.
Oladipo X factor and will Miami be hitting from 3? I would be shocked if this series doesn’t go 6 or 7. If Lowry was 1000% healthy I would pick Miami. Also what is Robert Williams status? I need to know health! I’ll say Celtics in 6 if Lowry out the whole series and or shell of himself but if plays games 2-7 at his regular season level I like Heat in 7.
Bam and butler ain’t in the top 3 of anything don’t kid yourself
@@drnoahpepper who is a better two way players on same team besides healthy Kawhi/PG and Giannas/Jrue then Butler/Bam?

40+
5+

3+ blocks

How bout Bam’s 4 blocks? Only shot 4 times (3-4) but I stand by what I said. Jimmy and Bam as TWO way players one of the best combos in NBA.
I got Heat in 6. Heat defense is upgrade from the Bucks. The Heat Defense and the Heat brand of physical play just wear teams down, at the end the other team players are just spent.

Celtics have won 4 out of there 5 away games these playoffs. Celtics are not worried about Miami’s home court especially with a crowd that doesn’t show up until the 2nd quarter
These games are gonna have 90s Knicks Pacers scores
i thought frogs would start falling from the sky before nick wright started making sense
Not surprised the national media is slobbering all over the Celtics right now. They may end up being right because the Celtics are really good but so are the Heat.
Celtics deserve it most of the media said they were going out in the first round and the nets had em they dealt with kd and giannis back to back that alone is legendary
