P.J. Tucker on Victor Oladipo's Game 3 performance: “It’s usually his offense everybody talks about,” Heat forward P.J. Tucker said. “He comes in with a spark. But his lateral slides and quickness were unbelievable. I told him tonight that was some of the best lateral foot speed I’ve seen anybody have. Jaylen Brown can score and he’s tough to get back in front of, so for Vic to square him up is unreal. He gave us a spark.”
Here's the prediction Thursday's game from Moses The Hamster. He picks the Celtics. Moses' record during the postseason is 10-4.
