I don't think many people hate him anymore. I understand the frustration with him last year. He was definitely thrown into the fire pretty much of of nowhere, so it's completely understandable why he struggled a bit. And some of his philosophy decisions weren't great. Like how he wanted the team to play through bad stretches instead of calling timeouts. But he's fine in this year having reworked all of that, and he actually has defensive schemes instead of just playing pretty much straight up all of last season. If Most Improved Coach was an award, he definitely earned it. He's made himself into one of the best coaches in the league.

Fluka's team needed him in that 4th quarter cause their offence kind of stalls when he gets taken out.

Very nice video. Coach Kid has been outsmarted and had to do more for his team but now is unfortunately too late. To me Dallas's biggest problems were: not attacking the Tatum Gafford mismatch in the post, stagnant offence with no plays for Luka and Kyrie to get easy points, too many minutes for lively that is clearly worse than gafford in this series, too many minutes for Kleber who is just blatantly terrible, role players never scoring the ball, Luka's defence in general (but he's injured so it's not that surprising).

I was one of those fans who were harsh on Joe until earlier this season, and for good reason. Lol. And just like our players, he has significantly matured. Proud of that man's progress.

It's like there's a threshold where median talent becomes infinitely more important than average talent. I'm sure that's been studied a billion times, but I never really thought about it until recently.

*First play at the start of this video:* Did you see Kyrie give JT two forearm shivs to the back as JT went up for the layup...? Reminds me of what Mavs fans complained about re the end of Game 2 when JB had his hand on the back of Washington (before Brown and White blocked his layup attempt).

That was different because they talked about it on ESPN. Also "you can't make that kind of call late in the game"... except that one. Only Mavericks are allowed to foul in the last 5 minutes.

I can’t tell if this video was so good because your analysis is improving or if the Celtics are improving…probably both! Great stuff

What a great breakdown! I've watched about 7 videos covering the finals, and none have shown me why the celtics are up 3-0 quite like yours. After watching this, I can't help but think the Mavericks are just being out coached at every angle. Even though the celtics have a better roster. As a non fan of both these teams, I hope it at least goes to game 6 lol

9:53 Jayson Tatum is such a student of the game and high value defender. It takes a lot of athleticism and intelligence, not to mention defensive discipline and quality/confidence in your scouting report, to stay down on this recovery on this play. Chased down a wide open Luka under the hoop and stopped him without recording a single stat. Forget briefly that he didn’t foul because the Celtics defense as a whole hasn’t really committed many fouls on Kyrie nor Luka this series. He didn’t even jump at this pump fake despite how absurdly open Luka was. He almost did, but he quickly stopped his upward motion and settled on two feet with his balance and stability in the blink of an eye, with one hand straight up to contest without fouling. Now remember that he did all that without fouling Luka, a generational talent and a fantastic player who can be savvy when it comes to drawing fouls. Trusting your gameplan and refusing to bite on any of Luka’s foul gambits and giving up an advantage.

That play from Derrick White at 8:38 was high iq. Tatum wasn't going to cut and taken advantage but DWhite created a dunk for him. It's all about setting up your teammates and seeing things they can't see.
