    Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat NBA Playoffs Game 2 Preview

    May 19, 2022

     
    The Boston Celtics try to even the Eastern Conference Finals with the Miami Heat in Game 2 on Thursday.

    Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat

    Thursday, May 19, 2022 – 08:30 PM EDT at FTX Arena

    Game 2 Key: Jimmy Butler vs. the Celtics
    Jimmy Butler’s game levels up in the playoffs and the Heat goes as he goes. You can’t measure how much Butler helps them at both ends of the floor. Butler hasn’t faced a group of perimeter defenders like the Celtics have and in Game 1 he was the difference-maker.
    Jimmy Butler in Game 1: 41 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four steals, three blocks (63.2 percent shooting)

    Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: “Jimmy Butler is an elite competitor. There’s a lot of guys in this league that are playing basketball. He’s competing to win. That’s a totally different thing and he does that as well as anybody in this league.”

    Jimmy Butler: “I think it’s a blessing to play basketball at the highest level… I enjoy going to battle with the guys that I got.”

    X-Factors for Both Teams
    Tyler Herro can be the difference in Game 2. Herro was Miami’s best offensive player in the regular season but he has not been as consistent in the playoffs. The Heat need Herro’s best version on Thursday. He had 18 points in 27 minutes off the bench in Game 2 but he was just 1 of 5 from beyond the arc.
    The Heat will struggle to keep up with the Celtics if their aggressive defense targets him in Game 2 and he can’t handle it.

    Derrick White is the player to watch for the Celtics on Thursday. White moves the ball well and is a great defender, the problem is that he’ does not score as much as he could. In Game 1 the Celtics didn’t have Marcus Smart and White got the start but he scored just three points on 1 of 4 shooting in 29 minutes.
    This can’t happen again in Game 2. He has to make plays and provide more scoring while playing big minutes. If he gets his shots to go down it will give the Celtics a massive boost.
