2022 Posey and 2022 Eddie House were the unsung heroes.

Theis had been an incredible addition. Just raised the floor tremendously when we added another rebounder/shot blocker and versatile big man.

True.

Great move by Brad at the trade deadline.

And Theis also has team friendly contract.

Daniel Theis filled in Admirably for Rob Williams, the whole Nets' Series.

First on Grant Williams. His improvements are usually noted by his increased 3 point%% but not talked about as much is his ability to play out on the perimeter with his defense. His weight loss??? and his offseason focus?? has really turned his career around IMO. He really is another PJ Tucker clone with maybe a higher ceiling.

2nd Pritchard, I have no idea what the team defense is (statistically) when he plays, But I swear by my eyes there is ZERO drop-off. But more so the offense hums so beautifully. Averaging 12 minutes is a damn shame.

I don't do analytics. I thought the team does however. By eye test or analytics PP should be playing so much more.

A Grant Williams fan proposes a variant nickname for him.

Reminded me of when PP defended Clarkson and made him give up the ball lol. Except this was against KD and in the playoffs.

Grant Williams has been just a revelation this season. I trashed him all last year the settlers jokes, his weight, and this year when he skipped summer league.

He went from mervyns Pj tucker to Prada Pj tucker in a season.

What do we realistically think he’ll command for his rookie extension? I remember Forsberg speculated 4/32 which seems low af I was think more of the 4/52 range maybe 56.

I could see him getting more on the open market tho hopefully we can retain him.

I'm not the only one getting the 2008 Posey vibes from the General (I too prefer not to call him Batman).

Grant Williams final stat line defending Kevin Durant, per NBA tracking:
13:05 matchup time
70.2 possessions
18 PTS
6-20 FG
30.0 FG%
0-4 3PT
5 TO
3 BLK
2 shooting fouls

I don't know if anyone posted this.

I know GW is not do it alone. It is the teamwork to stop Durant.
But it is still awesome.

Technique wise this is how I teach my teams to play D, and how I try to. Hands way out unless you're actually going for the steal. Slide feet and use contact to keep offensive player in front.

Pippen was a master at doing this on big guards when he needed to. His work on Magic was somewhat along these lines.

Great little clip. I'll run it past my girls. Get 5 people playing this type of D, you win!

I love the newly (?) proposed nickname for Grant:

The Dork Knight

Theis needs to stay out of Foul Trouble.
Which is easier said than done.

Nesmith may get a Cameo, in these Playoffs.
He's gotta Run with it, if he does.

Too bad we didn't make Hauser gel in the rotation. His 3-pointer would've been so lethal against this Bucks defense and open up driving lanes for Tatum and Brown eventually.
