JT on pace for 40 minutes.

Maybe because he's 100% not playing against the Blazers.

Is it time to start considering Pritchard taking some of Jrue's playoff minutes?

Him and Pritchard, man. The way these 2 guys have played over the past couple months is beautiful.


Everybody seems to be upping their passing technique this season. Tatum is now whipping the ball around. Guys are volleyballing touch passes. Jaylen even throws some competent ones.

Well, maybe not the ones who have been good at it their whole careers, like the starting PGs or Horford. But it's obviously a point of pride, and probably of emphasis as well.

No. Jrues defense is much needed in the postseason

Coach gets some of the credit for that.

Players are buying in.

He's more versatile but he's slowed down and if he goes cold which he is prone to do, might be Preseason P's opportunity. Jrue is still a good player but he's not elite and living of his rep.
