Agreed for the most part. Somehow Jimmy is a better shooter from three in the postseason over his career than in the regular season (.35 vs .32). Maybe not anything worth noting, but he does appear to have that Primetime Rondo thing where he's able to make more shots by sheer force of will and moxie.
Karalis said on his podcast after G2 that Butler mentioned post game 1 that Butler's goal is to go 0-0 from 3P.
Yep, much like sex, sure it’s fun to come from behind, but sometimes you just want to do it the old fashioned way and fuck ‘em from the front.
Tatum was out for the whole 17-0 run (sat after getting 2nd foul).
The rotation isn’t that tight without Timelord because we have the ability to play small and because Theis is a competent backup. We have real depth issues at the guard/wing slots because we only have 2 bench players for 3.5 positions. Playing down a big we only need to cover 8-12 mpg for Horford at the 5 (which is small enough that Theis can cover without being exposed) and can flex Tatum to the 4 when Grant sits without really missing a beat. We are definitely better with him, but unlike playing down Horford (where Theis really got exposed) or down Smart (where Pritchard gets exposed), playing down Timelord doesn’t really put anyone on our team in the position of being asked to do too much.
Accordi g to a Glob story, Ime basically said he benched him for awhile after Miami's early run because he was defending wrong (paraphrasing).
Same thing he’s been dealing with since returning/getting the bone bruise. Unclear which injury it’s related to at this point, but doesn’t seem like anything’s gotten worse.
Well, we haven't had "The Theis Game" yet.
