Not to keep picking on you over ^this^ comment... but...

This comment isn't directed at Brown but blocking a shot doesn't make you a great defender

 

[thunderc]

He knows.....He is being intentionally obtuse and homer-ish.

Next comment will be what is your team's record?

SMH.

You won’t find one instance of me arguing a point like that. I might be a lot of things but a simpleton I am not.

 

[thunderc]

So you're saying the game doesn't change in the playoffs....is that your final answer?

I’ve said dozens of times I know it does. The question is will it matter.

It can make you a part of a pretty good defensive scheme though

That blocked shot is just one (emphatic) example of the great defense Jaylen has been playing this season...

Forsberg: Jaylen Brown is answering his own defensive challenge

Jaylen Brown made defense a point of emphasis entering this season, and he’s backing up his talk with some eye-opening play on that end, writes Chris Forsberg.

www.nbcsportsboston.com

"Nearing the midway point of the season, Brown ranks fifth in the NBA while holding opponents to 40.5 percent shooting overall. Among the 299 players who have appeared in at least 20 games, Brown sits seventh in field goal differential, holding his opponents to 6.8 percent below expected output.

Zoom in on the 147 players who defend 10+ shots per game and Brown ranks No. 1 in opponent field goal percentage and second behind only Joel Embiid (-7.3) in differential."

Limiting opponents to just 40.5% shooting is pretty damn good.

He is saying the Thunder can be the exception to the rule.

I personally dig the confidence.

Exactly...Hell, I've seen Lebron get at least 3 or 4 of his patented "chase down" blocks this season...but he's no longer the elite level defender that he used to be.

Harden had 3 blocks against the Dubs.

Do you mean the chase down fouls or the goal tending like the finals against CLE?
