Why does Trae pass and then hang back by half court without much off-ball movement? He's certainly not preserving his energy for defense. Has he been watching too much Harden tape?

He thinks he's open to shoot from there

100% this. I guess you could argue that he's opening up the floor by keeping a defender at the three point line, but yeah. I'm trying to avoid being cocky Heat fan and I'm sure he'll pop off for 35 points in game 3 but he's looked awful in this series. 10 turnovers last night!!!!

Booker out for Game 3 and 4, likely more games too. Does that open the door for the Pelicans a bit? I say Suns in 6.

The Celts have an uncanny ability to double as soon as he picks up his dribble.

One of my favorite things to do playing pickup ball was run around off screens all over the place making the defender chase me.

Durant (and his mom) were so pissed at him getting called for fouls and the guy was at the line more than anyone. Seemed like a strategy to give him no rhythm.

Brown & Tatum have really grown this year. Both ends of the court. Late in quarters/ the game. It's just how Danny dreamed it up!
