it was the worst defense i ever saw him play, and is certainly not how he plays when healthy


I've watched about 10 Celtics games this year.

I think he is good at getting steels - he has quick hands. But I think shouldn't be confused with being a good defender. I don't really remember him pressuring opposing points that much.

Maybe I just watched his 10 worse games.

He didn't show anything special on defense as he was continually getting burned by Baron and Monta a few nights ago...in fact, they had to start double and triple teaming those guys. WHile getting burned by those two is common around the league, it was obvious that he is not some kind of all-world defender.
