[-STAT-]

Through the first 2 games one thing is certain, Luka cannot do it on his own. Kyrie + the rest of the supporting cast has not got the job done, and they will have to step up their respective games if they want to make this series interesting.

Boston just has so many guys who can step up on any given night, their depth has been a problem for most teams all season, even when rosters are shortened in playoff games, they just have a few more extra guys who can contribute and make plays, added incentive that the guy this time just happens to be Porzingis. Game 1 it was him, Jaylen Brown making big plays. Game 2 it was all about the backcourt, Jrue Holiday & Derrick White, combining for 44 points, but more importantly than that, just 1 turnover.

Also, how about Tatum? He has taken on more of a facilitator role, dishing out 12 assists last night and nearly getting a triple double. Jaylen Brown done his thing yet again last night, but Tatum has sort of taken a backseat to Brown these whole playoffs, Tatum had some struggles, but even when he hasn't struggled, Brown has been the better player it seems, I'm not complaining though. Game 3 will be a big one especially on the road in a raucous crowd.
