Hopefully he has one more game of adjustments up his sleeve to get the Celtics into the Finals. X-Factors Home Game - The Celtics are once again at home for Game 6. Horford and Timelord - The Celtics are 5-0 with a +105 differential vs the Heat when both Robert Williams and Al Horford play. The Celtics are 0-3 when one or the other is out. Hopefully Robert will be good to go and his balky knee will not be swollen and will allow him to play. [WATCH LIVE###] Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat live match | Weequahic ParkJayson Tatum has played well in all but Game 3 and the Celtics will need a big game from him again in this one. Robert Williams III Photo by Omar Rawlings/Getty Images Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports Robert Williams III vs Bam Adebayo Adebayo averaged 8 points, 9. 5 rebounds and 1. 5 assists in the first two games, he came out in Game 3 very aggressive and put up 31 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block with Robert Williams out. But, the Celtics need both to play well to get a win in this crucial Game 6. They have to make crisp passes and be aware of the defenders who are very good at getting into the passing lanes. They have to be more careful when handling the ball and not dribble into a crowd and not get sloppy with the ball. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum especially need to focus more on their ball handling and limit their turnovers. Urgency and Effort - These are the keys to winning this game. The Celtics are 40-4 when leading 3-2 in a best of 7 series. Steel sharpens steel, and the Celtics were forging themselves into a razor-sharp blade. That Bucks-Celtics series may have been the real NBA Finals. MORE: The best highlights from Game 7 of Bucks vs. Celtics The key matchup Jimmy Butler is the engine that makes the Heat go. It can't be overstated how much the team relies on him on both ends of the floor. His on/off splits paint a good picture of his value. The Heat are beating up on teams at a better rate than any team in recent history with Butler on the floor and playing like the Wizards when he sits. Possessions Offensive Rating Defensive Net Butler ON 723 120. 1 103. 9 +16. 2 Butler OFF 298 104. 4 108. 1 -3. 7 Butler has yet to face a group of perimeter defenders on the level of the Celtics. They had the best defense in the league by far during the second half of the season, and they have the personnel 1 through 5 to switch onto Butler and give him problems. The X-factor Heat Tyler Herro was the Heat's best offensive player during the regular season. In the NBA Playoffs, he's been inconsistent. Herro has been targeted on defense, and he hasn't handled more aggressive defenses that are loading up on him. His shot also just hasn't been falling (27. 3 percent from 3-point range in the postseason), and that's probably due to luck more than anything else. Can Herro get back to his regular season form? He will need to, because the Heat are going to struggle to score against the Celtics. They've been by far the worst offense of any of the teams still remaining. Celtics Derrick White hasn't provided huge scoring outbursts, but he's done all the other things well. He's a great team defender, smart cutter and good ball mover. In the games that the Celtics have won, he's made a ton of key plays. ET or stream it via the MyTeams app. HOWThe Heat aren’t a bad road team and they have already won one in Boston in this series. They will have the distractions of being on the road and having to stay in a hotel and the cheers (and jeers) of the Celtics fans, which are always loud in the playoffs. The Celtics need to reward their fans with a game where they give maximum effort to defeat a rival team in what will be a key game in this series and a win will get them into the Finals for the first time since 2010. If they play with urgency and put out the extra effort, they have a good chance of winning the game. It would be easy to let up and think that they have dominated in the last 2 games and also that they have another chance to close it out if they lose.

For the Heat, this is the same story that's been written about them all season. They were the best team by record in the Eastern Conference despite battling injuries all year, yet they didn't get much buzz heading into the postseason. They've followed up that impressive regular season by compiling the best record and net rating among NBA Playoff teams, battling injuries to Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry and receiving even less attention than they did during the regular season. The Heat may be getting slept on because of how wildly entertaining the other side of the bracket was. Take Care of the Ball - The Celtics had 16 turnovers in their Game 1 loss and they turned the ball over 24 times for 33 Heat points in their loss in Game 3. In their three wins, they limited their turnovers to just 9 in the first two wins. Erik Spoelstra is a coach with championship experience and Ime Udoka is a rookie coach in his first head coaching job. Udoka has more than held his own in this matchup so far. Close Out Game - Close out games are always the hardest games to win. The team that is up tends to relax a little and whether consciously or unconciously they let the other team get going and often they can’t stop them. The team that is down has their backs against the wall and play with more urgency. The Celtics can’t relax and they have to play with more urgency than the Heat. Injuries - Most of the players on both teams are banged up in some way. The Celtics had a grueling 7 game series against the Bucks with no rest before heading into and even more grueling series against the Heat.
