Big props to Semi Ojeleye. He stopped a favored NBA superstar tonight.
Biggest moment of his life and he came through strong and did what the team asked him to.
Amazing. I love it.
semi sucked all year about time he contributed in some form or fashion to help us in the PLAYOFFS
I wouldn't say he sucked all year. His shot has been iffy but he's played hard and defended well. He's a second round rookie and he's starting in the NBA playoffs. I'd say he exceeded expectations.
he didnt play hard, he defended okay. His motor was severely lacking throughout the season as is his offball D. But the last few games he played really well that one can think he will be a nice rotation player in the future.
I wish Tatum can play better as well, because of his terrible play tonight Brad had to play Rozier and Smart a lot of timea together tonight, and that means minutes for Larkin!
