Grant isn’t tall enough.

1) he plays bigger than he is due to his strength and 6'10" wingspan

2) hmm, so he's not tall enough to guard 6'9" randle but he frustrated the hall out of league MVP, 6'11" Jokic last year? :roll:

Stellar pass from Jaylen to Grant there. Nothing came of it though.

I am not a fan of the switch everything defense. It’s a gimmick

He switches off pretty well, on all 5 positions.
Good Role Player, IMO.

I’m so impressed with JB. He could have been selfish and look for his own shot but he is trying hard to get Tatum going. That’s a good teammate

Tatum was due to hit one of these open shots lol

Grant can’t guard Randle but otherwise he’s been solid

The defense is solid for the Celts.

Having good size and length really makes a difference.

Knicks are clearly experiencing what the Celts experienced with Kemba last season.

It's just a matter of time before Thibs limits Kemba's playing time.

also love the play before that when smart made a good lob pass and rob showed some really good mobility flying to the rim to catch the lob pass and throw it down.

this is the rob we need - if rob plays like this all year and stays healthy watch out.

randle hasn't been stopped by anyone but romeo, sometimes a guy here or there makes him miss a shot or got an offensive foul but randle is cooking.

Unless Tatum randomly forgot how to shoot from bulking up..teams won't want to be giving him 75% open threes..
