I can't believe what my eyes saw tonight. KO went at oubre in the low post and actually showed emotion. Then he hit a 3. Would be huge if he can actually play with force for the rest of the playoffs....

It seems to me like once in awhile KO shows some guts and aggression. I think this has been coming out more this series, and the Oubre incident can only help. When KO does bring his extra effort it does make a big difference for us.

I like Playoff Kelly, regular season Kelly not so much. Maybe we can trade Regular season Kelly for Playoff Kelly in the off season.

He's embracing his inner "dirty player."

He should improve his lower body strengthening. Still fumbling down and getting pushed around by 6'4" guards easily.

Just like Draymond.  Career 7th man turned stud overnight via confidence

Please Kelly, when youre open, take the shot! do not pass it up with shot clock winding down or hesitate!

Imagine if we can fuse kelly's body with Smart's head.

I don't see 'soft' as a descriptor that applies to Olynyk.  I know it's a common complaint around here, but I don't see it.

Olynyk's main issues are his footspeed (especially lateral footspeed) and rebounding awareness.  I'd also like to see him shoot more, given his excellent percentages.  But I don't typically have a problem with his physicality.

A better question: Is Brad growing a pair?

Looks like it was directed towards Rozier, but hard to tell.  If so, I like that he's pushing him.

He was screaming at olly.

Olynyk's main issue is small hands. Not being able to handle the ball effectively with one hand limits the efficiency of his low-post moves, and his ability to hold on the the ball for rebounds. His foot speed has improved considerably since his rookie year, or perhaps he's been able to compensate with improved defensive awareness, but I haven't found defensive adjustments to be an issue.
