Kyrie and Hayward. And if they got further without those two than with those two and the two younger guys played better, where does the blame lie?
And production is a matter of timing/circumstance/experience. Talent is a matter of ability and I still think Boston is way more talented top to bottom.
Bud put all the pieces in the right spots for Mil. Stevens either hasn't or tried but the personnel didn't buy in. There's blame to go around. We can't just chalk this up as Mil SHOULD have beaten Boston when almost everyone shoed the C's into a finals birth and still thought it might be possible after round 1.
They underachieved. Mil overachieved.
It's also funny that Tatum consistently produced in the playoffs in the ECF when needed but all of a sudden this season he's an afterthought. Might have something with his usage and a lack of similar opportunity.
