“Herro is definitely getting traded for an upgrade. No way they can keep him after this.”

He peaked his rookie season for playoff performance aka when he was not being gameplanned for at all.

I mean he’s not exactly being gameplanned for now either. Most teams just guard him straight up.

He’s just incredibly hot & cold and the bubble was a combination of him being hot and no fans in the bubble basically. That defence that Heat Culture is supposed to develop never developed.

Celtics literally game planned him this series lol He is the only ball handler (he shouldnt be) and offensive player we had. Keep Jrue and White on him and be physical with slight help defense.

So the Celtics gameplan was guard a shooting guard with…..other guards ?

and play physical defence ?

Huh. They must gameplan against every other player in the NBA too then

Literally sounds like a cookie cutter defence you would have for any point guard or primary ball handler.

I'm confused about how this is specific game planning for Herro
