Just saw thw play
Nice to see Fall was on the inbounder
CLEARLY Jaylen Brown was at fault - and he said so himself.
Clearly!
I had to watch that play several times to see all the moving parts on O and D. And how it fit.
Brown threw himself under the bus, but he had little choice on that last play but to initially guard Siakim, then pick-up Gasol on the switch (who would have been wide open for a lob or dunk) if Brown left him to guard the far-corner 3. Even with that Brown was a finger-tip away from tipping that shot.
Brown may take the ressponsibility, but he had 3 guys to watch in that sequence, but the Raps made a great play.
You don't understand too well what you see.
I feel reasonably comfortable with my base of knowledge aaccumulated over 60 years of watching the game. And I feel comfortable with my analysis of this play after watching it several times.
But i'm always open to hear another reasoned opinion.
Sadly you seldom provide one.
As an aside, I think Theis may own the most cuplability on this play, but playing hypoethicals of what might have happened if, in less than half-a-scond, is a waste of time.
i think it important to understand the Celts D shut down what looked like the first option (FVV in the near corner) shutdown the paint-middle (Gasol) and forced the last option, a cross-court pass to OG in the corner. Unfortunately for the Celts the low probability, last option, was beautifully executed by the Raptors.
I can't be too mad when two very good teams push each other in that way.
Kid-not only do I understand what I see, but I can also appreciate what I see.
