All of that makes me nervous. Don’t need a “historic” recovery. Just be available for the finals, please!

We wanted a Game 7.

Gobert qualifies. Hayward and DAJ barely play.

You guys are delusional. You know why JB have had that usage against Miami. Remember, a series we won easily. So you are complaining about nothing.zoyathedestroya wrote:KillahGhostface wrote:Spoiler:

That's the answer: primary defender against JT was Bam. A great defender with long arm, that's a kind of defender JT can suffer.
Jaylen going against Herro and some others Heat perimeter defender was a better choice for us.
JT finished with 42% from the floor even if he have had a good series.

Horford is now the oldest (and most experienced, in terms of playoff games and minutes) remaining player in the postseason.

Wait a month and a half and Horford will be the oldest player remaining that won a ring.

• Al Horford - 172 games
• Jaylen Brown - 110 games
• Jayson Tatum - 99 games
• Mike Conley - 83 games
• Marcus Morris, Sr. - 71 games
Jeff Green got off this list last season after 103 career playoff games.

Jaylen Brown against trash defenders while using up half of the team's possesions was:
22.8 ppg
.565 TS%
12.5 AST%
13.7 TOV%
-30.8 on/off
Tatum going against Bam and two helpers was:
21.8 ppg
.563 TS%
22.3 AST%
8.5 AST%
+25.7 on/off
Mazzulla needs to acknowledge the cold reality and stop letting Jaylen have the ball so much even in single coverage against the trashiest defenders.

White’s minutes were attached to Jaylen, so anytime Tatum was off the court, White and Jaylen were in.
If White running the offense when Tatum sits means his efficiency falls off some, I’d gladly make that trade. Jaylen leading the team in usage is not something we want going forward.

It's nitpicking.
Whatever makes the Cs win is what's ideal.
JB was being guarded by trash defenders, so it's fine.
But I doubt that trend will continue against other opponents.
Spo's strategy was to contain JT and let JB cook because they were expecting JB to mess up again, like last year's Game 7.
Didn't happen.
JB got better this year.
