Yes he was. He was awful on both ends of the floor. Killed the defense and the offense.

So he has a positive net rating for the season.

+57 against the Pelicans and Wizards in two games.
-19 rest of the games.

That´s while carefully being cuddled into favourable match-ups and minutes.

Sure it will benefit us greatly in the play-offs that Maxi kicked some butt against the two worst teams in the league.

Historically he has been his most valuable to this team in the playoffs.  I disagree with him being cuddled into favorable match-ups.  I would argue that he has mostly been playing out of position at the 4 when at this point he clearly needs to be at the 5 in specific circumstances.  

But my primary point was more about how you have bashed large sample net rating numbers on this board many times, but when it fits your narrative you use small sample example to make your point.  Can't have it both ways.
