Former Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent recently reflected on Miami’s victory over the Boston Celtics in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals in an interview on the “Old Man and The 3” podcast and pointed out some internal issues that may have affected Boston’s performance vs. the Heat.

Vincent acknowledged the talent of the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown but sensed that something was amiss within the team. “I obviously don’t know if they were or weren’t right internally but that was my feel I had,” he offered to host JJ Redick via MassLive’s Brian Robb. “It almost seemed like to me, truthfully, they had something going on over there.”

“Despite our gameplan, so much has to go right to win in this league and if you aren’t fully right internally, it shows in different ways,” explained the now-Los Angeles Laker.

“I think last year, they were better defensively when we lost to them in the East Finals,” he added.

“This past year, something didn’t seem as right whether it was their rotations or connectivity, whatever the case may be. I think any bit of weakness we saw, we jumped on it.”
