Giannis is averaging 39.5 MPG while shooting a career high 171 FGA (28.5 per game) over a six game span; with each attempt being high effort and having to help protect the paint and rebound. I’ve been waiting for him to hit a wall, but the man is truly a beast and among the best conditioned players of all time.
JT’s performance was MVP caliber, Smart and Brown were huge offensively, with a complete team effort on both sides. Game 6, down 3-2, on the road against last season’s Champs, came out guns blazing and countered every Bucks run regardless of how close they got. That took moxie and was a marvelous win by the Celtics tonight.
With a quick turnaround, our stamina and depth will be tested, there’s will be also. I now understand how important ball movement on offense is to winning for this team, when we make them work on defense, they can’t buy non-Giannis buckets. When they do that, they’re the best team in the world.
Celtics in 7!
