NBA Playoffs

Boston has 3 guys I have wanted to get the last few years - Horford, Theiss, and Grant Williams.

Hustle biggish guys who are a threat from 3. They play so damn hard and can defend pretty much all levels. So well built.

If we'd have gotten them they'd probably become passive and lazy on defence as it seems to be our identity outside of gobert. That or Quin would have just had them ride pine.

Exactly. Our issue isn’t interior defense. Whiteside and Gobert and Doka when he’s healthy are solid rim protectors (who are exploited on the perimeter). The main issue is that we have 4 traffic cones out there who let anyone and everyone drive past them. The perimeter defense of the remaining teams is impressive. Their worst defensive breakdowns are still better than our best defensive efforts. It’s frankly just amazing how few steals and transition bucks we generate.

There haven't been a lot of really close, competitive games this year...it's kind of disappointing.

Most of the Boston/Bucks games were down to the last possession. Tha Mavs Suns series was extremely competitive. Even the Warriors/Grizz series had close games with Ja healthy. The openers got the Conf finals were duds. But I’ve found this playoff to be very competitive. Much better than the boring KD led Warriors and Lebron led Cavs snooze fest years.

The Donovan Effect

Having a big who can make reads and passes out on the floor is really valuable. Horford is underrated in that regard, imo.

Tatum and Brown are becoming a killer duo now that they're passing the ball around.

Another blowout...sigh.

Celtics swap Williamses, go small to stomp Heat

The Celtics subbed Grant Williams in for Robert Williams halfway through the first quarter, leading to a 57-27 run to close the first half.

Boston are impressive. Almost no weakness. They gonna be tough to beat.

I keep asking myself when this cutting-edge brand of basketball was discovered where you guard your man 20-25 feet at all times.

Frankie Smokes having a rough few minutes there. Dallas can’t get loose cuz his guy is cheating… misses a couple threes wide open… not really bothering Steph at all. That is why he isn’t more than just a minimum dude.
