that type of game is so valuable during playoffs. This man always brings it during big games.

He isn't flashy and he is not going to be one of the most popular players in the league (or close to it), but those extra possessions can be the difference between getting knocked out of the playoffs or moving on... even winning a title and not.

There are four things that make TT invaluable... the second chance points he creates, his defensive versatility / ability to switch onto smaller players, the fact that he only seems to get stronger the more he plays, and his ironman durability.

With every one of those offensive boards last night, you could see the life being taken out of the Thunder. It is demoralizing when you play great defense for 24 seconds to force a tough shot and then he swoops in and starts it all over again. It must be extremely frustrating to watch for opponents.

2nd threepeat Bulls come to mind.


Wouldn't get minutes if he was on the Warriors
Only because they already have Draymond for versatility and hustle, and Ezeli and the defense he gives them. Ezeli provides the same cleanup and contest function. Better on defense as well.

But a guy who moves that well off the ball and can get you extra possessions? Exactly what the Warriors want. They just happen to have it in spades already. He's just as good as the Warriors bigs IMO. I wonder if replacing Bogut with him wouldn't make them better. Bogut can pass but he can't move.
