More has come out today (shocking I know). There's an Athletic story saying the front office was split on JB, with Stevens being his biggest fan. Yet they still move him. Did ownership end up making the call?
Interestingly enough the article points to Game 7 vs Philly as reinforcing the view that he wouldn't fit moving forward. I thought he was our best player in that game and brought a lot of what he did during the regular season.
Their problems in that series were Queta sucking, White not making shots and no one being able to guard Maxey or Embid. Also the offense stagnating when they ran (primarily) through Tatum vs JB.
Brown really picked it up after a horrid start - and he definitely deserves credit for that - but that start can't be understated. Go look at the play-by-play to get the full picture.
Everybody went after Joe for his crazy starting line up, but Baylor was always going to start in Tatum's place and starting Garza actually worked, as Queta went on to have an awesome game without picking up multiple fouls in the opening 3 minutes.
