The team has found a very interesting dynamic with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses to end the season in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Boston team has had a hard time finding rhythm on offense and they basically depend on the moment Tatum is going through. The loss of their best scorer has made it difficult for the team to get good results, but this forced players from the second unit to show their full potential and show off their game, players like Grant Williams, Payton Pritchard, Derrick White or Daniel Theis have showed a better level and with this added to the talent of Jaylen Brown they managed to keep the team in a great moment. Since the Brown-Tatum duo returned to the court, they have achieved good victories against difficult opponents but the team has not given up and they have reached the Conference Final.

The team has recovered part of what was seen in the 2019-2020 season where they stayed runner-up in the NBA, the addition of Kyle Lowry brought a better offensive generation to the team. Lowry was the missing piece for the Heat and so, with the talents of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Hero and Duncan Robinson, the team is showing great form and finished in first place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses. At the moment, the biggest concern is the recovery of the rhythm of the game of Victor Oladipo and Markieff Morris, who are important players for the team, but their other figures have gotten the result in the games and are still fighting to advance to the round and be one of them. of the candidates for the NBA title. Now they enter other Eastern Conference finals as the favorites to advance to the NBA Finals, but first they will have to face a great team from Boston.
