“They are a difficult match. They are really, very difficult. They won eight in a row without Lillard. Giannis, not only wins 30, but gets 12 or 13 assistants of the game in the last few matches. So there are many problems,” he said.

“During the period in which Dame left, he saw coherent double teams and simply evolved as a great player and mixes assistance. Laser skipping through the field, which is very difficult to solve when you connect him twice. And his shootings are getting better.”
