Paul Pierce He spent on Thursday morning after a bet he made on Boston Celkus mistake. The legend of Celtx walked about 20 miles from his home in Los Angeles to Lot Fox Studio before “Speak” on Thursday, and according to the promise he made if his former team lost game 2 of the semi -finals of the eastern conference against New York Nix.
When he arrived in “Speak” on Thursday, Pears re-photographed the incident of the unforgettable wheelchair, and continued to join before distributing the Celkus deficit 2-0 to Nix. When Boston blew up 20 points in the second half in the second consecutive match, Pears believes that the Celkus ball has become faded in the fourth quarter of game 2.
“They felt satisfied. They felt comfortable. You cannot feel comfortable in the qualifiers. They started stability for three years, this is their game, but they do not move the ball either. This is an interesting local matter: when Celx has 25 passes, it is more than 18-0.
To Pierce’s Point, CELTICS scored only six assists in the fourth quarter during the first two games. But in order to get help, you actually need to make your shots. Celkus missed 14 goals in a row for eight minutes in the fourth quarter of the match 2 on Wednesday, when it saw its progress from 16 to one point deficit during that time.
Of the 14 shots, Celkus missed during this range, seven throws 3. The 3 -point cold shooting was in the last minutes of the game 2, continuing to shoot a bad shoot of game 1, when they missed a 45 scoring score.
Although CELTICS has only made 25 of 100 out of 3 throws in this series, Peres does not actually believe that they are shooting at a very large number of 3s. Instead, it is believed that the process of obtaining these shots has not succeeded.
“You must get 3s from entering the paint and kicking,” Pierce said. “You should do more. The basket is first. This will be the key to them.”
In addition to Boston’s operation to create footage, Pears believes that his old team is also wandering.
“Nix is just a material team of them. They raise physicalism in the fourth quarter [Tom Thibodeau] Pierce said: Now, now, now, now, now, see what happened. We found ourselves in a hole, below 0-2. … we are the best road team in The American Professional League. There should be some strength for that! Perhaps some hands may need to see! “
If there is one way to determine durability, this may be through the number of offensive bitterness that allowed it. So far, Celtics allowed Knicks to get 13 rebounds over 49 people in the second half or additional work during the first two games, which is a good thing for a 26.5 offensive recovery rate. To return, That brand was ranked first among the American Professional League teams this season.
Celkus has faced some conflicts in making baskets close to the edge as well. They release 59.6 % through five feet of this series, for all data followed NBA.com. This number is a significant decrease from 67.2 % who opened fire from this range during the normal season.
More importantly, though, Boston’s Upper Star fought. Jason Tatum He scored only 36 points during the first two games of the series, making only 28.6 % of his footage of the field. Pierce sighed when Rick Bosher said that Celkus did not have closer, but Tatom’s conflicts during the first two games are unnoticed.
“[Tatum] He took fewer shots through three feet from the edge this season more than it was in any season of his career. “I thought it was nearly half of his shots this year from a group of 3 points,” said Boucher. Gilin Brown In this role. But I realized about thinking about all the big shots this year, all of which were generally 3 drawings or shots at the edge.
“What we say is that this series is dictated by the ability to score at all three levels, and that his average game anywhere can be found at the present time.”
Nix beat Celkus in Game 2, do Boston need more Jason Tatum?
Although CELTICS 2-0 decreased, it is just a few points away from the height of 2-0 in this series, as it lost the first two games with four common points. This is also not an unfamiliar ground for this team either. They fell 2-0 in the East Conference 2023 finals against Miami HitLoss of both games at home. They continued to lose this series, but not after forcing game 7 by winning three in a row.
For this reason, Pierce still has confidence in Celkus, but he will not put the bet this time.
“We will wear,” Pierce said. “I tell Y’all, game 3, guaranteed. It’s guaranteed! It was a good bet. It has been preferred with 10 points.”
