Bill Simmons

And this is two straight games now with Jalen really being able to attack Dort.

And nobody really goes at Dort like that.

You know, like...

Really like being able to bang him and have him going backwards instead of forwards.

And then when you have Tatum too, who I thought the second quarter was his best stretch of the year.

And in general, his game was really good.

And that was the best Tatum and Brown together game.

But the wings they had and the size they had, I thought was a real problem for OKC.

And I thought the same thing you did.

Well, if Jalen Williams is last year's Jalen Williams, now that's somebody to throw on one of those guys.

Then you can do Dorda on the other side.

But it was a rare game where I thought OKC seems small.

And I didn't think Chet was good, but I just felt like they felt a little undersized against the Celtics because SGA was really good.

I mean, he, you know, he, he was magnificent.

He's getting the shots he wanted or getting to the free throw line and they still lost by double figures.

So I don't want to overreact to one game.

Right.

I mean, I just thought Jalen did what he's done over and over again.

This season is he's matched the other best player in the game.

And this is why there's what I want to talk about him a little later, but this is why I think there's a really strong first team all NBA case for him now.
