“They play basketball” Paul Pierce said this after going to game two. He went on to elaborate that they play every facet of the game, all the time, every single play when they are on the court. Some shooters or superstars can be seen taking off a play here or there, not going for rebounds, etc. But Pierce said he was blown away by how White and Holiday are active all the time, in every play. It’s an awesome thing to watch as a Celtics fan. Watching them all year has been a joy.

Jrue holiday defensive highlights always hit

This is probably the main reason I think Dallas is a really good match-up for us. Teams with talented bigs can give us trouble, but when everything is generated by the backcourt we can shut it down pretty effectively. Dallas is going to need to get creative.

this is the best backcourt in the NBA currently and if they keep it up and two-peat, they will truly be historical.

YES IT IS! And somehow people were really bashing me for saying so on another video 😂

Derrick White & Jrue Holiday INSANE BACK-COURT DEFENSE 💪🔥💪

[TheMrAineas]

What do you mean there’s nothing physically that jumps about Jrue. Dude is 6’3” 210lbs, that probably makes him the strongest guard in the league.

[KSizboredlife]

Dwhite's rim protection as a guard is what makes him so different, dude really blocked Derek fucking Lively at the cup

I find it funny that dudes are saying Isiah & Dumars, them dudes just got carried defensively by their enforcer teammates from the frontcourt.

I wouldn't say in NBA HISTORY, but definitely the best defensive backcourt in the NBA currently. I would have to add in Jaylen Brown to the mix...Holiday/White/Brown best back court trio in the NBA today. Great breakdown!

D. White with the 6’4 Lock PG build w/ Gold Fast Feet, Gold Challenger and Silver Chasedown😂

It is really a joy to watch Celtics dominating the Mavs in both ends of the floor. Celtics in 4!!!

[Rom-uyjl]

You didn't mention on how they are both so active on getting that offensive rebounds 😢

[jdrmanmusiqking]

Not definitively so but the 3 of the top 5 candidates i can think of all include Jrue Hokiday:

Jordan and Pippen - Bulls (was Pip a PG or Point Forward? Dont feel like looking it up)
Jrue and Lonzo - Pels
Jrue and Rondo - Pels
Lonzo and Caruso - Bulls
Jrue and Derrick White

Idk about the guards in Orlando i think they are great too. I just dont know enough about them

[bphilbac]

They are the best playing today’s style of basketball.

Feel like the current Celtics are doing what the Warriors did in their championship years. Lot of cutting switching and players that play their role to the best. They play with pace and great defense and make everything difficult to accomplish. I’m still hoping the Mavs can come back and win it all tho.

Basically its "Best Offensive Backcourt" vs "Best Defensive Backcourt"

[dado]

White, Hart and Jimmy said that Pacers had overall the beat transition, offense and defense!!

[harmzero]

Celtic defense was on holiday in the last playoffs, now their defense is on Holiday…

[derickwilliams]

THE CELTICS LAW FIRM OF HOLIDAY WHITE & BROWN WILL TAKE ON ANY CASE...😅😅😅
