But removing the space he can create when the PNR is working is a bigger deal. I also agree teams like the Heat and Raps and Cs who play physical, heavy switching, athletic team defense can really lock down individual scorers in the playoffs and frustrate them.
Yeah this is definitely true. I just think that the team defense of the Heat, with Bam Adebayo able to guard the PnR against injured ATL bigs, was a bigger deal than Trae not being able to draw as many fouls in regards to how much space Trae had to work with.
Regardless, not a great year or outcome for the Hawks. I'm curious to see what happens this offseason, wouldn't be at all surprised to see them offload Gallo if the opportunity arises.
