Why to go Tillman

Most observation focus on the play of Tillman which I don't disagree with. But if we analyze the playoffs history there were moments that certain players really shine out of their ordinary roles in the team that most times shocks the opposing team and joyfully surprises the adoring fans. Before praising Tillman's performance, which he richly deserved, let me point some "waves" in life that he pointed out during the interview.
If you are playing in the NBA it only means one thing: you can play and you're one of the best in the world. Tillman's performance last night, while slow to come by for a supporting cast to happen, was not really a surprise given the fact that Memphis back was against the wall. The absence of three principal players including Ja Morant forced the Grizzlies make adjustments how to reverse the tide that paved the way for Tillman to take up the slack. Credit goes for the coaching staff for recognizing perfectly reacting to the situation and choosing the right guy to accomplish the plan.
The Lakers were caught flatfooted and shocked by the Memphis counterstrategy because I suspect that, in the absence of Morant, they thought the game would be a walk in the park. Without question they were ready for the Grizzlies, a team that is Morant-less only to be confronted by a one lead by a silent assassin, The X. They did not realize the Memphis Grizzlies just walked into the court yesterday locked-in with "it ain't over until it's over" mentality. Kudos also to the Jacksons, the Brooks, the Joneses and the rest of the Grizzlies in staying on the same page to avoid annihilation.
So both teams marches on to game 3 content in thinking that nothing is given everything is earned when it comes to playoffs time. Tillman earned the accolades he's getting and Memphis was the better for it. Good job X!

when former players say he has the ability play big also means he has the ability to use his body where he doesn't need to step back and create space and he can just release at a higher stance, especially over tall payers like AD
