They are winning his minutes by a landslide in this series. I don't think that's a coincidence. He is so much better on switches than he used to be when he would foul like crazy.
So Boston averaged 26 assists a game during the regular season. They have 35 total over the first two games of the series.

They are nine of 45. It's unbelievable. And I do think we've mentioned the switching a bunch of times. And I do think a lot of it has to do with not even necessarily the quality of the Knicks switches, because I think the execution on the Knicks switch has kind of been up and down, depending on which guys we're talking about. But just the fact that it's actually happening.

I mean, look, Orlando switched so much against Boston. And this is not the first time that a team has just switched a bunch against Boston. Boston saw more switching than pretty much any other team in the league during the regular season. But they are reacting to these switches completely differently.

And I think when the Celtics offense is going at its best over these last however many years they've been really good, it's because of their side-to-side action. Once the ball, they are as good as any other offense in the league, if not the single best in the league. Side-to-side?

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's when the ball is on one side of the court and goes to the other. You're allowed to go to the side? Like from one side, that's allowed? It's unbelievable. And you could do it without dribbling as well. And the Celtics, when they go swing from right to the left side of the court, they are deathly.

When they can go side to side twice in the same possession, they are better at executing off of that than any other team in the NBA until three days ago. And I think what's happening with the switching is it's not... We focus so much on... the individual matchups that are created from switching.
