I wonder if his shoulder injury (dislocated??) near the end of the regular season is still bothering him a little.

I suspect that this is at least a contributing factor. Funny how much parallel Holiday’s season has to Brogdon’s season last season. Both were great all year, and then declined suddenly in the playoffs.  Jrue may still turn it around. He could have a string of games like White had. It would not surprise me.

I'm sure it has something to do with it.

I'll also say that after tonight, I wonder if he's trying to finesse it too much inside. He was much more forceful tonight at the basket, even pushing Mobley around, and he was a much better percentage, too.

Loved his play tonight. He played much more decisively and didn't just act like he was an insignificant part of the team. Without KP, we are going to need his offense. He really stepped up tonight and I think this is what Celtics fans were hoping for when we traded for him and when we signed him to that extension. More of this please, Jrue!

Jayson Tatum: "Jrue's kind of like the glue that keeps us all together. He does literally everything that we need him to.

Jaylen Brown: “Jrue is a dog. … Tonight was just a masterclass from Jrue. What a game for him.”

About as much as I like Mazzulla. He's fine.

Most underrated guy on the roster, because he is the one who has been most willing to sacrifice his personal stats.
