To be fair pistons also immediately improved their defense the second they got him. He might not be a championship level head coach but that doesnt mean he cant be a good nba coach. Lotta teams have no chance at a chip anyway and he is good at building strong defenses which is a desirable trait for a rebuild location like detroit. I actually think its a good fit for him. Im willing to bet some amount of kennys success is built on the foundation bickerstaff provided with his knowledge of the defensive side of things. Atkinson is a better coach but that doesnt mean bickerstaff is bad he just wasnt the right fit for cleveland and kenny is really good
Dope breakdown. Donovan Mitchell is as tough shot maker man... some of these shots blew my mind while watching the game. Wish the warriors were able to secure him back at the time when he was traded. One of the best guards in the league right now.

they would’ve had to work with two small guards when they already play small ball which would be really tough. the cavs run two bigs which helps them run two small guards but the warriors like to run draymond at center, they would suffer defensively. they would also probably have to give up at least something like kuminga, pods, and moody along with a few picks. and the warriors hate trading their young players and refuse to do it, especially when it comes to kumings
@@rickystackss I think back then, they would have traded Kuminga to get him. I don’t think podz was even in the league back then btw. And yeah, the team would need to be structured differently-probably like the Cavs, but I’d say a curry +spida back court is better than spida + garland. I believe back then the warriors were interested but the sticking point probably would be that they would need to trade JP and probably Wiggins and picks to get that to work. It would have been worth it, but hindsight is 20/20.
The way you break down the true complexity of the game boggles my mind. I can barely keep up with everything you’re pointing out on these plays but it’s so cool to see!
It was a great game! But if both teams are at full power, jaylen brown and derrick white will put a lot more pressure on both sides of the ball. Shout out to mitchell for the clutch shot making, garland for holding up on defense, mobley for continuing to be great offensively. They look like a real threat, and even with their starters back the celtics will have a bit of trouble.
Great breakdown. Tatum collapses around the rim cause he either foul hunts or no call from refs. Either way, that killed Boston's Play style especially with the two starters out
Another important point to note about the Garland on Tatum matchups were the threes. The Celtics toss up an unholy amount of them, and by switching Tatum onto Garland, it’s like baiting him into taking as many good look twos as he could, which tbf a lot went in, but Tatum actually missed more than he made on Garland, going 7/16. It gave the Cavs a chance to keep up and eventually overtake Boston because Boston’s Tatum on Garland possessions were often ending in no points or two points, not three.
I think another thing in the calculation to leave Darius alone on Tatum (to a certain point) was Kenny and the Cavs willing to trade Boston mid-range 2s for 3s. It was something I noticed pretty much all 4th quarter but especially down the stretch and even in the clips you show, a lot of Tatum's offense is coming in the 10-18ft range whereas Mitchell was hunting 3s late (and even Okoro took that wing 3 you clipped). Obviously the Celtics took more 3s than the Cavs did that night because, well, they're the Celtics, but still an interesting shot selection thing that I wanna see play out and evolve as these teams play each other more. Wonder if the Cavs can produce similar process defensively against Boston with Jaylen and Derrick.
why does tatum always look like he's carrying the ball when he's posting up (he doesnt have his hand under the ball but the ball seems to stay in his hand for so long idk if it's just me)
This game was awesome to watch. I am biased as a Cavs fan, but I will say that it seems like the Celtics get away with a lot of push-offs. Maybe i'm tripping but Pritchard and Tatum just abuse push-offs to create open looks and it's frustrating as hell to see. Either way I'm hoping there's plenty more good games between these two in the future, it's gonna be fun
9:11 Wouldn't be wise if Porzingis were to simply block #35 I have no idea why defenses are so passive on the pick and roll. Go there and make your own defensive screen which turns out to be simply a BLOCK to prevent the ROLL. Even more so when the action is taking place in the LOGO, the guy want to step back and try his luck with the deep 3... having his original defender still on the picture... let him.
If Porzingis screens Okoro there then you've just created a rather large screen for Pritchard to fight around, Mitchell would blow by it and either take a 3 at the arc or drive and kick. That's too easy
@@hiphoplord8134 From that far out, if Porzingis blocked Okoro hard, Pritchard would have a ton of time and freedom to go under the screen. If Mitchell want to try his luck from the LOGO, let him.
@@VelhaGuardaTricolorthe goal is to force the ball out of Mitchell’s hands, not give him the chance to make a play himself, force someone else to beat you
Can’t forget the Celtics beat the Cavs when they were missing strus, okoro, wade, and levert and it was only by 3 with a stinker from garland. Health and consistency could catapult the Cavs over the Celtics
Garland is a negative player against the full Celtics. He's a mismatch against everyone when on defense and he's not good enough on offense to overcome the White/Holiday defense. C's will concede Mitchell clutch scoring to stop Garland as the secondary scorer. Size and rebounding is what hurts the Celtics; Garland being benched would be more effective against the C starters.
garland is an awesome offensive player who’s good enough to orchestrate the all time great offence the cavs have rn at just 24. he’s a brilliant level 3 scorer with a top 3 handle and elite quickness and touch. he’s a top 10 playmaker in the league. he’s played good against the celtics before and will find a way to do it more consistently in the future
@ he was awful in their first matchup. if i'm the celtics, i feel good against them because of the garland mismatch and how good the perimeter defense is with white, holiday, and brown together. no matter how good he is regularly, he is not a good matchup against the healthy celtics. in a playoff series, he'd look like finals kyrie or trae young out there. 1 good game, 1 decent game, 2-3 bad games
Garland was just dissappointing last year, and now got his game back. Though we still need to see how Max Strus might affect this team once he's back. The C's are just living by the three and shot horrible this game, D.White is a key piece and Jrue has been pretty brutal offensively this year but the unleashing of Pritchard pretty much covers this issue. Still in a 7 game series, Cleveland will be the biggest threat for the Celtics as they can punish them on the boards and inside the paint. Every game will come down to the Celtics' shooting percentage when it comes to this matchup.
That's why Luka have and will always be the better player than Tatum. He's an average finisher with a decent ball handling that always struggle against legit defenders. Jayson Tatum wouldn't even get passed 2nd round of the playoffs with Maxi Kleber & Dwight Powell at the front court for years. He will be in contest with Josh Green throwing bricks.
It blows my mind how good the Cavs got as soon as they fired Bickerstaff. Shows you how overlooked coaching is in the NBA.
Reminds of of Mark Jackson and Steve Kerr

Garland fronted a unreal amount of contact in this game, tuff stuff
They put a lot of pressure on him, it shows how hard is to be an "undersized" guard in the NBA. It's crazy lol
Tatum missing the layup reminded me of one of your previous videos of him struggling to fight through contact near the rim
I mean he’s been doing much better at it this year if you’ve been watching all the games

This will be a great match-up if they're all healthy, IMO Cleveland is the only team that can match Boston rn.

8:12 Mitchell should have snatched that ball. As soon as #11 turns his back to him. Which is when he enters the paint.
refs could have also called the travel
Anytime I watch the celtics I always think how good KD would be on this team in place of Tatum. They get Tatum so many advantages and good looks.

Celtics beating Cavs in 5, 6 at most
Horford at his advanced age is a more mobile defender than kristaps?
I haven’t watched a lot of Celtics, but Does anyone also hate that green court?

why would they put darius garland on jalen brown and Jayson Tatum instead of derek white or jrue
Did this title change or am I bugging?😂
Garland shouldn’t have been on JT for that long.
Well he did a good job especially late
