I think Lu Dort is a somewhat overrated defensive player.  He's talked about like an elite defender and a future DPOY candidate.  I think he's just good. 

Definitely a hell of a pickup when you can get a guy like that as an undrafted free agent.  I just think some of the superlatives are a bit too much.

I think Brown is making him look ordinary, but he is really good defensive player.

After my gripe, Boston let Brown touch the ball on almost every possession and the team starts scoring.

Was about to say that :)

He does stand still a bit off the ball here and there tho, I noticed. Let's see if it's a pattern.

No movement

This Thunder team ain't much are they?

The fact that OKC is in this thing is horrifying.

Brown + Pritchard 18 for 30 and 49 points

It all comes because of some good play in the bubble last year, but that's because he was in the national spotlight. He's not nearly as good as some make him out to be

JB is 10 for 13 from 2 point range.  Also 5-5 from the FT line.  Keep attacking

They're still red hot from 3. Dagnabbit.

We got them taking difficult shots when they come inside though.

I really like the way Jaylen can switch hands and finish left on his drives when he needs to. Tatum still kind of angles his body sideways in the same situation to get side on because he won't (or can't) use his left hand effectively.

Something Tatum can learn from Brown....learn to finish with your left hand.

Definitely.  I'm disappointed that Tatum still hasn't developed that part of his game by this point.
