That was my thought. Draymond knows he cant actually guard him 1 on 1. So he guards his head, so to speak. If that fails, its time to get both feet into JB's landing spot.
It's super weird. He straight up wasn't guarding him, never seen anything like this vs Jaylen

Yeah, is there some recent history here? Drayton seems like he's trying to disrespect him on defense, and dray has been a little uncharacteristically aggressive when he gets matched up with him on offense.

I dont think it'll work out for Dray
This aged well, quickly.

Draymond guarding Jaylen like he’s Ben Simmons definitely dings his whole “smartest basketball player” alive thing

Doesn't really feel like they can guard them with Draymond on the bench.

Lol the strategy to let Jaylen shoot threes was so fucking funny.

Celts will cool off from three, but they’ve gotten into the paint a few times as well, and Tatum hasn’t even started. I like the start, but GS will hang around I suspect

I think Jaylen has the problem with Draymond.

There was the play during the finals where he put his feet on and Jaylen reacted…during a JJ Redick pod Draymond said that’s when they knew they were in the Celtics heads and would win.

I believe Jaylen said that that was crazy in response.

I think Jaylen is really loving busting Draymond’s ass this quarter

9-12 3-point shooting would normally not seem sustainable, but I think I've seen JB hit 3 out of every 4 in unguarded warm-ups so maybe they keep it up

I will be curious if they ask Kerr after the game about this D strategy.

Was this all Dray going rogue? Was this part of some plan Kerr knew about?
