After saying I was team fire JB this year I wanted to point this out.

Beverly was doing a good job of denying Garland from getting the ball in the final minutes of TO.

Without any other primary ball handlers on the court JB subbed in Porter Jr to counter that, after Philly took a 2 point lead with 1:30 left.

I feel like in the past he would have just let it ride because he has his set line ups on who he wants or “trusts” closing the games. Regardless of how the other team is playing them.

So I hope this is a sign of things to come

    I do agree with this but it’s also important to remember JB inexplicably subbed CPJ out in the fourth after only putting him on for a minute or so. I think we close it out in the fourth if CPJ stays on.
