he's playing for a contract this time - I think he'll bring it!

Grant has guarded Jokic really well more than once. No jinx but it legit just seems like a bad matchup for Jokic somehow.

Just play Hauser 12+ minutes a game and we'll win out the rest of the way.

Boston is 5-0 in games in which he's played at least 12 minutes, and just 3-3 otherwise.

Hauser is also 2nd on the team in BPM, only trailing Tatum.

Keep playing him!

To me it always felt like it was Robert Williams who Jokic struggled against. Maybe it's been Grant as well, or just a combination of both. Will be an interesting matchup to watch now with Robert out for this game.

Kinda having a hard time seeing how this is good defense on Jokic. Jokic got good position, drew weakside help and hit his man for a layup who messed it up, getting blocked by Grant Williams somehow.
In the 2nd clip also, Jokic gets a layup pretty easily but gets blocked probably because he didn't realize Grant could reach the rim.

Yeah jokic is gonna kill grant. Grant and rob works great but grant alone is not enough. Jokic also figures out guys who had previous success against him. Can’t double of Murray and mpj like we did with campazzo lol

Both times the weakside help was the timelord, that really cuts down your options, not happening tonight
