Our starting unit defense has been elite! That's what it takes to win championships and these guys recognize it.
if you watch the celtics on defense in the half court againt the bucks, al and the two players next to him drop off the 3 point a bit, drop down into a defense stance, and put their arms way out. the effect is to create a wall that prevents antetokounmpo from driving easily to the basket.
watch replays and you can see it.
so antetokounmpo passes, takes a long shot, or forces a shot. all of those are good from the perspective of the celtics.
