an early bloomer, and I honestly believe he peaked in HS. I've never thought he was the same player post mission. His talent can't seem to keep up with his attitude anymore. But that attitude worked for him in HS. Not anymore.

Emery is a choir boy compared to Ainge in terms of court conduct and language.

His role on D is guard his man. He won't do it.

He's great at Gael watching

Amen. It was his job to guard the perimeter and it was his guy draining

StalwartBraveTrue

Yep. He watches the ball way too much

TBabyCougs

This is just ignorant. The three's didn't consistently come from Nick's man.

Correct the entire team is inept on D. But Emery helps so deep into the paint

TBabyCougs

Yes. As far as I can tell, because it is so consistent

I would have to agree with this assertion. The ball watching could be a product
