Celtics coach Brad Stevens says the Miami Heat had too many opportunities in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and that the Celtics need to imnprove their transitional defense. I miss Bob Cousy announcing Celtics games. He was good for at least one "The Celtics need to pick up their defensive intensity" each game. Other adjustments I'd suggest: A little less hero ball in the 4th and when the Celtics have a big lead, in the words of Tommy heinsohn, "step on their throats!" That's what the Nuggets did in Game 7 against the Clippers in the fourth quarter. We've blown enough double digit leads this playoffs. Quote has been filled.
