Kanter did have 9 and 6 on 4-4. ‘Play me if you want to win.’

If the Celtics win he's inspiring. If they lose he's a cancer.

Draymond did this with the Warriors all the time

All that matters is winning.

Marcus Smart trying to light a fire and wake his team up.

But the Celtics need Hayward to get back to change things up. He also would be critical in busting the Heat’s zone and being another playmaker aside from Kemba in the court. Tatum and even Kemba tend to get shaky in this role when things tighten up.

Ayton is probably my sixth right now but has to show more heart and leadership. Suns fans frustrated by his immaturity.

I expect him to get pushed down in my list by Wiseman once he enters the league.

Ayton will be fine. I trust Monty will guide him. A lot of C’s don’t really break out until their third year. Ex: Bam.

I might like Wiseman more too though.

Leadership and togetherness are key in this intense Bubble environment. This setting has to be extremely taxing in terms of mental health.

The mentally stronger teams are winning in the Bubble.

Spo and Butler are tough mentally, I think Boston can extend the series to 6 or 7 but I don’t see them overcoming the mental edge that Miami has as a collective.

This is a very interesting post, imho.

If the hypothesis is true .. which is hard to have a lot of confidence in (only because sample size), but seems something fairly reasonable ... smart teams in future should lock their people up and cultivate togetherness.

Yes I notice a lot of their runs seem to start out of bad calls or non calls. They are also one of the best oppotunistic teams in the league. Great when they can score quickly and easily not so great otherwise.
