(DJ Zullo) Deuce McBride played five minutes in Game 4. He was a menace to Cleveland during those minutes. A deserving highlight reel on a 2nd year player who left his mark on the game.

1. gotta get this kid minutes next year. can’t just play when iq or brunson is injured. this offseason he’s gonna bring his offense up to league average.

2. Man seeing all of this in a single video really helps put it into perspective. He really deserves more minutes. Especially if Grimes is out or if one of our starters is struggling.

3. People forget the reason we turned the season around is going to a 9 man rotation and adding Deuce to the lineup.

   His development this season as been a joy to watch and you can tell he is getting confidence in his 3 ball.

   Leon really pulled a heist at the 2021 draft

4. If he can get his shot right at the NBA level (he was killing it in the G-league) he can be a regular contributer.

5. So many have spoken to the potential for an expanded role next year

   To that same end, if we lose guard depth in a star trade, he’s a nice candidate to pick up additional minutes.

6. yo for real tho. i hate to say certain thoughts out loud and i dont want to jinx it, but special years happen when you have these sorta guys who come in and give you a few special minutes. for anyone watching it feels like he played way more than 5 minutes. it felt like such a big impact

7. Him hitting that 3 was such a great feels good moment

8. Loved seeing him out there, his defense is on another level.

9. I was REALLY impressed his entire time out there, especially capping it off with that momentum shifting 3. As a certified McBride non believer, I, for a flicker of a moment, saw Marcus Smart. When McBride and Obi were out there together it felt like a March Madness game, and I mean that in the best possible way. Having fun but playing 100%

10. I’m really happy with his improvement this season. He was a non factor on offense much of the season but if he improves his bag he’ll be a solid 2 way player

11. He absolutely put Mitchell in jail.

12. You could honestly see Donovan Mitchell’s soul leaving his body after one of those possessions

13. Prime Ntilikina

14. Definitely noticed him yesterday. He was good at guarding Mitchell too
