I don't think so. He was unconscious vs. Bucks. He instrumental guarding Steph. Go back and watch the final 5 mins in game 6. Fred was our leader over Kyle and Kawhi. He was the one running the show as crazy as it sounds for better and worse.

Fred was one of the worst players and practically unplayable for 75% of the playoffs. Then he had the baby before game 5 (I think) and went off afterwards.

Overall, I'd say he was the 2nd best bench player during the playoffs after Ibaka who was consistent throughout. Will always love EVERYONE that was part of that team regardless.

He’ll get a standing ovation tomorrow and rightfully so. One of the all-time great Raptors.

You should go check his numbers for the Orlando series and the Philly series where he was getting embarrassed by James Ennis.

Then like I said, he woke up with a vengeance half way through the Bucks series after having a baby, which is where this reference came from. My memory is just fine, you should probably check yours lol.

Him and Sengun carrying that Rockets team to a potential playoff berth is pretty impressive tbh.
