Boston does not anticipate Miami to be an easy opponent for the remainder of the series, despite the Heat losing by 20 points in Game 1 of their NBA first-round series.
As the Celtics guard Jaylen Brown puts it, it’s actually the complete opposite.
After practice at the Auerbach Center, Brown told reporters, “They’re going to be hungry, desperate, they’re going to come out fast, even more aggressive,” as reported by Khari Thompson of Boston.com.
They’ll make an effort to turn us over. Only attempting to violently shatter the glass, become even more aggressive, and try to bring us to the ground. merely attempting to prevail in that physical contest in whatever manner possible. I predict that, but we’ll be prepared.
Even if star Jimmy Butler is out for the Heat, Boston’s head coach Joe Mazzulla believes his club can bounce back from Miami’s visit.
According to Thompson, Mazzulla remarked, “If you think you’re not going to see a different version of Miami, then you’re kidding yourself.” “Ultimately, it’s about providing for the needs of the game and anticipating that there will be a fight.”
Late in the first game, Heat big Caleb Martin severely fouled Jayson Tatum, sending the C’s star sprawling to the ground and starting the fight.
Though Erik Spoelstra, head coach of the Heat, claimed it wasn’t deliberate, the Celtics are getting ready for an even more intense Game 2.
According to Thompson, Pritchard told reporters, “I think we like that.” “I think seeing it and what it would be like moving ahead was enjoyable.
We’re prepared for that kind of intimacy. Even JT’s instant get-up was visible. It did not phase him. His teammates supported him. We are merely one large family. We look out for one another.
Tatum remained silent both during and after the foul. Saying only, “I feel fine.”
Recognizing that this is post-season basketball. Playing against a physical squad makes it a physical game,” Tatum remarked. “(Expletive) going to occur. I’m likely going to get fouled or hit like that again during this series. I suffered no harm. Just get up after being hit like that. And I told you to go down there and make the free throws because I knew we were in the bonus.
Boston hopes to increase its advantage in the best-of-seven series to two games when it hosts Miami at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
