He did, but let's not put him above him yet. The Celtics TEAM defense was tremendous, their game plan was to double and trap KD every time he touched the ball and if you watch the videos breaking it down you can see their entire defense revolved around prevent KD from receiving passes in decent position.
Celtics are loaded with good defenders, and they basically denied him every game. When he did get the ball they would just send an extra defender and trap. It was brilliant work, but you have to have the players to do it and the Celtics do.
If you swapped KD and Tatum, you would have seen KD go off for his usual 30+ a game. Nets defense is absolute dog shit and Nash didn't adjust worth a damn.
Great Celtics defense n hustle! Nets got no defense, Kyrie too small n hungry, Seth curry soft n too little, Andre Drummond can’t defend pick n rolls like prime Dwight, patty mills is short ain’t gonna block jaylen brown lol.
Nash throughout his career was burned n defeated in the playoffs because his team don’t play defense when it counted or in general.
I do agree KD is still 5 stars level like Giannis n Embid n Luka
while Tatum is like 4 stars borderline 4.5 stars if he makes the finals.
