Why the Jrue Holiday Trade Makes Perfect Sense 

For the trades itself definitely understand it. They are combining Smarts’s defense+Brogdon’s playmaking into Jrue, and Grant’s shooting+Williams’s rim protection into Porzingis. But at the same time if one or two of the players in that six man rotation are injured they gonna be in trouble

Smart is a high risk high reward defender. He usually gambles on defense that can can cost greatly or reward remarkably. While Jrue is low risk high reward, he is very controlled with his defense. I like this for Boston, still miss Smart tho. Imagine Jrue, Smart, White on the same team 👀

@hoopsvenue I love your basketball breakdowns and analysis. you really give a well in-depth and great breakdown of not only the player's strengths and weaknesses but also tendencies and fit for the team. Brilliant breakdown and keep up the good work!

Jrue goin to the Celtics could be problematic for the bucks because jrue has a history of putting dame in a straightjacket

Jrue is the best poa defender in the nba. Derrick white is the best off ball guard defender in the nba. He contests as many shots at the hoop as a lot of centers and rotations are excellent. They can both play on/off ball on offense and have connecting/spacing/scaling attributes. 2 players that aren’t fair to have together. Then porzingus rim protection and horfords switch ability and the jays are solid. This is the best defense I’ve seen in a while. Great vid!

Update: It made sense

If the Celtics lack depth, the Bucks really lack depth haha

i love jrue

Great review and nice video overall

Good analysis. 👍

Jrue Holiday is an all around Marcus Smart. Great fit for Celtics.

I love how you showed every guard and forward that have been killing the Celtics for years. People overrated Marcus defensively. He didn’t “lock down” any of these cats like how Jrue does. Marcus never had a game where he could at least make the guy work on the other end either; which hurt us on both ends. This is a win.

I really thought about it, Malcolm is good but he was not dependable at all in Boston + they got Derrick white and now JRUE to fill that role. Losing timelord sucks but if you think about it, I think Horford was the better big in the playoffs against the elite bigs like Embiid, giannis, and bam

Jrue is the biggest threat to the bucks right now

what's your pre-season prediction for the finals?

Great pick up by the Boston Lost Snart defensive presence got it back in the guard position with Jrue can’t really complain

C - Horford F - KP F - JT G - JB G - Jrue F - Hausser G - White G - Pritchard Solid 8 man rotation, just like the 8 man rotation of Denver last season Joker, Jamal, MPJ, AG, KCP, Braun, Green, Bruce

His defense style is similar to Ausar Thompson's

Better defender in 2023, Holiday or Caurso? And why

Jrue is soooo tough on the court. This is who the Celtics DREAMED Marcus Smart would become. Ten years & that day never came. But here’s Jrue today. Guards that used to constantly kill the Celtics are slapping their face today!!!East and West coast. You name them. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Usually the lowkey move pays off!

No more guarding Jayson Tatum for Holiday

Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Venue 😤😤😤😤😤😤

Its strangely amusing that the 3 best teams in the league after these trades all have some depth concerns in Denver, Milwaukee and Boston

This won't mean anything if they're just going to chuck up 3s

Kristaps cannot post up a mice. I‘ve seen him multiple times posting up a guard where he miserable failed

I agree that holiday es more burnt out in Milwaukee we sled a ton him and be did everything except by time playoffs came be burnt out. In Celtics were going see one best playoff seasons. I love my bucks but Celtics will take it again because our coach being new Boston has good coaching which we never had our coach is unkown ? I just want Dame win one and I'll be happy

I’ll tell you why him joining my Cs helped to form the 3Js exspress yah herd meh.

would you say hes top 40, 30?

Who's guarding wembanyama

Jrue is great but i just cant get over the fact that Gabr Vincent and Jimmy Butler COOKED him in 2023 Playoffs

I don’t think he’s that good of a screen navigator, a lot of those were weaker screens/screen setters. A lot of these weren’t traditional high screen and rolls as well and he is just going under a lot of these screens which isn’t the sign of an elite screen navigator.

Giannis is gonna go berserk vs them again

Dame average 26 ppg against Jrue with no help kill the fake narratives. Mind you every time they have played Jrue has either had Anthony Davis or Brook and Giannis as help defenders. Dame will be fine against Jrue playing with Giannis. He’s going to get off count on that.

Rare W, pookie.

it seems like you like holiday to much?bring it on your team men

Boston would be the best defensive team in this era. At least on the perimeter. Once the ball goes in the paint. It's very much a guaranteed score

first!

Boston's playing dead against Milwaukee 🥴

All film, no nerdy stats. 🤩

I get the respect but Marcus was NOT a great passer. Or else greatness would still be there. 😒sorry to be negative. Just was fed up with his play.

Jrue is overrated lol
