Am I the only one who doesn't want Brown? Something seems off, him and Tatum have no idea how to play off of each other, no clue how he'd exist with Book/KD.

I think Brown is great, but the "three star" thing simply hasn't worked. One guy always has to become an elite-skill role player (Bosh, Draymond/Klay, Jrue) and do the little stuff. That's really hard to make work if all three guys are scorers before anything else.

Crazy that Boston brought it all the way back to 3-3 on their home court and couldn't finish.

You're right that the third guy always gets marginalized, but Cleveland, Boston, and Miami all won with three stars, so it doesn't seem right to say it "doesn't work."
