LeBron breaking down the Kyle Anderson play was so great. Smart players who can think in the moment can make a huge difference.

@erinlaskey9873 23 күн бұрын

You know what's annoying about that play, it's that Kyle had to demonstratively motion at KAT to get him open. KAT, as one of the main scoring options in his team, should be the one asking for that screen. Starting to think he's not that cerebral or instinctively equipped to execute reactive plays deep into the playoffs.

@chiggsytube 23 күн бұрын

@@erinlaskey9873 Yeah stop thinking that. Slomo changed the play spacing. KAT was doing what he was told, standing where he was supposed to. Bad coaching. How can I say this? Mike Conley was on that floor, veteran PG for over a decade and a half. Did Minny look like a veteran PG was on the floor? Nope! Why? Bad coaching.

If those matchups don’t hold, along with the other mismatches defending White/Holiday (unless you really think Kyrie and Luka bout to do that + Lively defending the perimeter all series… ) the scales are tipped significantly in Bostons favor.

JT averages over 30 in his career against Washington, and Jones Jr is a below league average defender this season. Luka & Kyrie standing on their heads for 4 games is the only way the Mavs win this series.

Something about the way Boston plays doesn’t sit right with me for some reason, it’s crazy when GSW was killing the 3s in their prime it seemed different than Boston recently playing with that type of 3 point heavy shooting style, think it’s because they have so many more long athletic players that don’t really HAVE to only shoot 3’s but I think they are an analytics based team and that kind of dictates why they shoot so many 3s.
