Imi the one that got away

Kinda funny that the Spurs beat Boston both times they played each other this year. Kept them under 100 both games.

I remember watching those games and thinking the Celtics played like a team with a lot of talent that was not coached very well. Seemed like they had no real game plan at the time other than iso plays. They didn't look like a deep team that trusted each other or had any guidance. Crazy that i thought that then but they are in the Finals now!

Something had to of changed with team chemistry since those Spurs games. Did the coach finally get through to the team or is Derek White the greatest glue guy in history because they looked like a team that didn't trust each other before he arrived.

Derek to me is guy who is great at being the 3-5th best player on a le contender. It reminds me of Lamar Odom with the Lakers. Not saying he's as talented as Lamar was but Lamar was never cut to be number 2 guy but when Gasol joined the Lakers his talents got enhanced because he was now playing his natural role as the third best player on the team and a facilitator. Derek to me is similar to Lamar he doesn't have the aggressiveness to be a number 1 or number 2 but fills in perfectly playing below 1 and 2 on a le team. Teams also can't game plan against him now since he's playing with 2 good scorers in Brown and Tatum.
