PLAYOFF GAME 2 DIRKIE: BRUNSON BURNER! (80%)

[cow]

I realize you have to give the Dirkie to Brunson, but if you had asked me before the game which is more likely, Brunson to go for over 40 or Maxi to hit 8 threes, I think I would have gone with Brunson.  I also think the Maxi game may be more impactful from the standpoint of the rest of this series.  He was in such a funk he was almost unplayable offensively.  No better way to get out of a funk than to hit 8 out 11 threes.  With our frontcourt depth, we need significant minutes from him.

Poll really needs a Jalen Kleber or Maxi Brunson option.  I think you are spot on about Maxi's confidence going forward.  He is easily the most versatile big man we have on the roster.  

I'm also glad Burke got a little burn.
