Jaden was sitting in the corner, and Luka was half guarding him. We should have ran the pick and roll with Jaden screening for Ant to switch Luka up on him.

Jaden is not at the Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum level of offense. As long as he didn’t have to guard Ant he was alright.

We played 3 guys they could play off of (Rudy, Jaden, Kyle) so even if when we got him in 1v1s they just loaded up and helped. We also just had Jaden standing in the corner instead of having him move off ball. Christopher Finch let Luka off the hook

The loss was more on coaching than anything else, thankfully people are finally seeing that.

We DID target Luka. Whatever role player he was sagged off scored over 20pts each game.
McDaniels, Naz, even Kyle, Conley, and Gobert all had great offensive performances with Luka as their primary defenders.
I don’t know how they calculate blow by, but we mainly exploited Luka by shooting 3s vs driving past him.
We lost that series because Ant was successfully bracketed, KAT was missing everything, and we had no answer for the pnr

The Celtics are better than us probably 1-8. They’re making it look easy. There’s a reason once Kyrie was healthy why the Mavs had the best record in the nba over that like 30ish game stretch
