    KD was correct about one thing irt to Jabari. Regards.

    Bulleting material tends to back fire.

    He's had a good series. Didn't he have a good series last year too? He had a pretty good season save 3 weeks in January. Pretty decent like the firstt 3/4 of the season last year iirc...

    Is Jabari a good player or something? Sample size to small?

    He just doesn't step up and he's been a disappointment. He shouldn't be talking at all

    Says the guy who lost us the pivotal Game 3. Not a better team with that kind of lazy effort to close out games. Less talk, more walk, please.

    I'm OK with it. Talk the talk, now it's time to walk the walk. Jabari has shown glimpses of not being afraid of the moment. This game is a chance to grab it and go! Let's see what he's made of.

    He's certainly paid like he can do it. Go prove it.

    2 yrs of good playoff performances. Bari going up a few notches in my book.

    So far, so good. As the temperature rises, let's see how he reacts. I'm confident, tbh.

    22/7/3 with 2 key blocks in the first half. 4 of 9 from three. Decent D. +5.

    Would have been better if he had hit a couple of those misses, but I'll take it.

    Jabari is at least going to the line more, which offsets the misses.

    Free throws are a boring stat. But consider that Austin Reaves shot an absolutely pathetic 4-16. A crappy 2-8 from 3... And had the same exact 22 points. Free throws factor in. So it's a credit to Jabari in scoring different ways

    Major props to Jabari. I doubt hes ever a number 1 on a championship team, but I wouldnt rule out being the 2nd best player.

    I think every area of his game has improved.

    I get that but Reaves was coming back from a strain and has not played a professional bball game in at least 3 weeks.

    Jabari is great,he brings it every playoffs and he is only 22. More importantly he is signed to a below max deal.

    He may never be a superstar but he is clearly gonna be an Al Horford type of guy and have a 20 yr career. Looking back I prefer him over Chet and Banchero, two guys making the max but not good enough to be a 1A option.
