In the closing seconds of Game 5 of the 2021 NBA Finals, the Bucks were clinging to a one-point lead when Devin Booker drove into the paint and got stripped by Jrue Holiday. Here are some key takeaways from the 2021 NBA Finals rematch: Holiday haunts Booker again With the defeat, they are now in a dead heat with the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. They were limited to just five points over the final five minutes, a problem that Durant's shotmaking likely would have solved. The Suns are hopeful that this will be their final game without Durant, who is still working his way back from an MCL sprain. The Bucks also got 22 points and 13 rebounds from Brook Lopez, while Jae Crowder stepped up with some big shots down the stretch against his former team. He came up with a clutch steal in the closing seconds to preserve the win, and finished with a game-high 33 points, four rebounds and five assists. Jrue Holiday led the way for the Bucks on both ends of the floor. But despite their absences, the two teams still collaborated on a thriller, which the Bucks won, 104-101, to extend their winning streak to 14 games. I do think he has more balance too, don't think there's another player in the league capable of thisīut like I said, I don't know how accurate of a comparison one person can make.MILWAUKEE - The Sunday afternoon showdown between the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns lost a little luster when it was announced that neither Giannis Antetokounmpo (quad) nor Kevin Durant (knee) would be suiting up. I just watched the Celtics vs Bucks games, and it just looked to me like Jrue was quicker, but my eyes could deceive me so form you own opinion there. I think quickness is another one, but you can either disagree or agree with me there, it doesn't matter. Maybe a small difference, but just by looking you can also see that he has a lot more mass in the lower body. There's also the weight differene, he's heavier than Smart (dunno the relevancy now, but Smart was measured in at 223 pounds in 2017, you can confirm that as a Celtics fan, Jrue was weighed 229 pounds during the Olympics). He's one of, if not, the best post up PG in the league, overpowering every guard. I'd say his offense is an even stronger indicator of strength in that case. You could look on defense where Vucevic has an easier time moving Brook Lopez than he does Jrue Holiday in the post (lmfao), but Smart also has moments like that so its not the best support. Give Smart his damn respect alreadyįor one, I think he's definitely stronger. Both are elite defenders, but one player lead his team to the best defense in the NBA while the other didn’t come close despite having a former DPOY in Giannis on his team. Because honestly who has the time to scout the defense of two point guards on different teams unless you are getting paid for it. And im just gonna go ahead and say nobody on this damn forum has watched enough film to compare the two. Realistically i think this is a nearly unanswerable question as both players are used different, both teams play different styles of defense and both guys make their impact felt in different ways. And we know this because some reddit users looked up a few advanced stats that they couldnt explain and watched maybe 2 or 3 Celtics games and saw Jrue in the finals last year and boom its just a foregone conclusion. Probably the one that just won DPOY… people do anything to discredit someones success lol, now Smarts not even the best defender on his team let alone the best guard.
