Jrue Holiday - A Plus. The rookie is the only Philadelphia player who should be able to look himself in the mirror tomorrow morning. He had a tough cover all night long in Russell Westbrook and he completely stoned him. I mean, shut him down. Westbrook shot 1/11 from the field, the one make being a contested pull-up jumper from about 20 feet. But forget the shooting numbers, they could be deceiving. What I want to focus on is how Holiday controlled Westbrook's penetration. All night long, Holiday got beat one time. It was on a pick-and-roll, he correctly bounced under, got tangled up with Dalembert, Westbrook reversed course and drove the lane on the same side he started on, got to the hoop, then kicked out for an open three in the corner. That was it, that was his one blip in 37 minutes of defensive work. A lot of people are going to look at Westbrook's line, see the 15 assists and try to somehow blame Holiday for that, but 13 of those assists came on jump shots, and only one of those jump shots was a drive and kick. The rest were simply guys getting stuck on picks or completely losing their men on the perimeter. Westbrook passed the ball from the perimeter to the perimeter to a wide-open man for an easy shot. That's not on Jrue, not one bit. Westbrook made it into the paint two times all night against the kid, the fist time, Jrue muscled him up, didn't need any help, and forced him to take a fallaway jumper from about 8 feet away, he bricked it. Add in the two steals and a couple big hustle plays and I feel 100% comfortable with the A+ grade for the kid's defensive efforts tonight.
