What did he do?

He got absolutely destroyed by Haliburton tonight, if that’s what is being referred to.

IST is sick. The teams clearly care, crowd really cares, and the games are exciting as hell.

I saw that....just posted how when we face Indy I don't want to hear any mess about Jrue would defend Haliburton better than Dame.

Just didn't understand the JAG comment.

I watched Jrue get cooked a number of times in the 4th quarter tonight.

Just like Jrue is the Dame stopper even as Dame is getting 27 pts on him.

hes super physical, even when he doesnt have the ball, hes jsut shoving people out of his way all the time.

his whistle is one of the most offensive in the nba.

Offensively he's declining despite having a reduced role.

Its been surprising how bad or mediocre, I guess, he has been.

Feels like we may gave gotten out at a good time.

His shooting numbers are pretty bad considering he should be getting better/more selective shots.

Awesome game. I think the players are into this tournament.

JAG = Just a guy, or possibly Judge Advocate General

Jrue in prime playoff form.

OH! I started questioning if Jrue did something dirty that I missed. Was hoping that Celtic way wasn't rubbing off on him.

I refuse to believe it...how can that be? The NBA hypes this tournament and then schedules a semi-final at 2pm Pacific?

So how are they making up the other games that other teams don't have to play? I still don't understand how every team gets to exactly 82 this season.

Losers of the 4 quarterfinal games play each other Friday. Loser of Bucks/Knicks play Celtics. Teams that didn't make QF play Wednesday/Friday
