The Celtics are shooting 17% against OG Anunoby so far in these playoffs.
According to the Ringer’s Kirk Goldsberry the Celtics have shot 5-29 against OG in games 1 and 2.
Tatum is 2-8, Brown is 1-5, White is 0-6, everyone else is 2-10. That’s crazy. 2 games and only letting 5 shots go in.
He’s also averaging 2.5 steals per game these playoffs, and 1.1 blocks. Thanks to Thibs he’s leading the playoffs in mpg.
This is coming after a series where Detroit’s entire offense was simply: get Cade to attack anyone who isn’t OG Anunoby.
I wanted to give Ogugua Anunoby Jr. a shout out because despite this being his healthiest season in years, OG got very little buzz for DPOY and all-defense as New York spent the regular season trying to figure out how to patch the defensives holes that are Brunson and KAT. OG was the hole patcher all season long, and got very little credit for that outside New York. Guys who make bad defenses into average ones get way less credit that guys who participate on great defensive teams.
It’s also been his best scoring and driving season.
