Jrue Holiday is a good player and a tough competitor, but burdened with the ultimate green light he struggled mightily. As a number one option a lot of his shots looked forced tonight, and it showed in the stat sheet and on the scoreboard: 7/23 shooting and a loss by 14. He got it going late, and it is encouraging to see him shoot at least decently from three (3/8), as the deep ball has been an uncharacteristic thorn in his side all season. Holiday’s night was similar to the rest of the guards. Toney Douglas and Tim Frazier, while hard nose, competitive players, just didn’t have it tonight, going a combined 7/26.
