I think you need pretty much everyone to be a viable perimeter defensive guy playing the Celtics. And Kyrie is really an offense-only guy. Totally unique and special talent in that regard but he's going to get switched onto pretty much anyone on the Celtics and annihilated on defense.

afaict the celtics decided they had won and started to coast and let the nets get back into it, and then the celtics had already gone ice cold and it was too late. low energy collapse

Ja is also like the 3rd best player on his own team. But you aren't allowed to say that.

Brooks spends roughly four hours before every game studying the opponent: their tendencies, their tells, their moods. He starts by focusing on his individual assignment, whether they like going right or left, what shots they like to take going right or left. If he's facing a 3-point shooter who'd prefer not to drive, he'll take a higher route to contest the 3, knowing the drive is less of a threat. He always challenges a 3-point shooter with the same hand as the shooter's dominant hand to minimize the chance for body contact. He flies at a right-handed shooter with his right hand raised; a left-handed shooter with his left. This way, less of his body is in line with the shooter. Still, he makes sure to create the appearance of a pending collision without making contact. "They feel I'm going to hit them," he says, "but I won't because I have super concentration."

Jordan 1/dunks/blazers are basically the only shoes I wear except for dogwalking (however like 95% of my time outside is dogwalking)

70s/80s basketball shoe style is so much cooler to me. adidas and converse have some cool ones too, I’m not a Nike purist
