It is always impressive when a guard is the anchor of your defense.

It will get tougher for him once k.P comes back and white tries to get himself going.. But at least we know that Jrue Can at least get it done when required.

I was so pissed at Smart for doing that in a crucial Game 5.

Because I was so pissed at Smart, I never watched Game 6.

I was sure the Cs would be eliminated in Game 6, at Milwaukee.

That's when I stopped doubting Jayson Tatum.

Less offensive responsibility and playing with more space definitely have helped here.

He had some shakey moments early on in the playoffs offensively, but he's been amazing since.

if the team needs a big bucket, it's pretty awesome to watch your 6'2" bulldog know he can work the opposing PF under the basket for and +1 layup.

How many times have you seen Holiday call his number and take some stupid ill advised 3? Or some other boneheaded hero play? He has been a HUGE upgrade over that other guy that people overrated around here. Jrue is actually HIM. Clutch and poised as hell.

I think the best way to say that is that Jrue is who we always hoped Marcus Smart would be. Which isn't a knock on Marcus -- Jrue is an almost singular talent.
