Yes, Maxi could have chose different than thinking he is prime Vince Carter and he can just jump over Amir Coffey. But unlike Exum at least Maxi made an aggressive move or playing with any heart/irrational confidence.
Exum is out there playing a passive game of hot potato by feeding the trailer on that play. He wanted nothing to do with making a play for himself or others and he has been doing it the entire series.
I do agree that Exum (and often Green) have been playing a game of hot potato on offense. At least Green seemed to emerge in game 6 and want to be a difference maker. Hopefully, he’ll continue in that mode. Judging by his playing time in the second half Friday, I would say that Green will be making up at least a chunk of the Maxi minutes. They’re different players obviously, but we’re not left with a whole lot of options. Probably THJ, too, to be honest, if he ever recovers from the ankle.
