Throughout the playoffs, we are going to be looking at the teams that lost their last game and look at what they can do to try and get a win.

The Celtics pretty much blew the Miami Heat out of the water in Game 2, so there were a lot of things I could have picked for this.  I decided to go with the most obvious one, the Heat and their need to stop Ray Allen from shooting that corner three point shot.  How important is that shot, well, let’s take a look at Allen’s shot chart from Game 2 (via J.E. Skeets’ twitter):

All of Ray Allen’s three point makes (and attempts) came from that spot, and if the Heat can figure out how to defend it, they can limit Ray Allen’s ability to score.  Here is the three point attempt that really stuck with me:

First off Dwyane Wade does an awful job of fighting through the stagger screens that the Celtics set for Ray Allen.  That isn’t even the worst mistake during this play though.  Udonis Haslem sees the screen and just stands as Ray Allen spots up.  What he should do is switch and close out on Allen so he can at least close out on the shot.

I am not saying the Heat are going to win Game 3, but if they can keep Ray Allen from going 7-9 in the corner they will have a better chance.
