Finals Game 2 - with 10 secs left in OT, Delly uses crashes the boards (he normally plays for the long rebound that his position requires). His timing and positioning gets the rebound and sinks the free throws from the resulting foul. That heads up play arguably wins the game for the Cleveland.
Finals Game 3 - Cleveland lead 81-80 with 2.30 left and have given up a 20 point lead to the Warriors who are coming home with a wet sail. Dellys off-balance drive forces the foul from Steph and his subsequent miracle shot goes in. He calmly sinks the free throw and that changes the moment back to the Cavs. If the Cleveland go onto win the Championship, that may be the most important moment.
And the peanut-gallery were questioning why Blatt played Delly in crunch moments throughout the year. Make no mistake, Blatt deserves plenty of kudos for this Dellvedova coming out party.
Delly is looking offensively much more like the player he was at St Marys who averaged 16 points. I can see him consistantly contributing on the offensive end now. Pundits are finally recognising his defensive skills. Coaching is much more than calling time-outs and drawing up plays and Blatt is obviously a fantastic developer of tough players. Delly and Tristan are his finest moments.
