And he certainly was part of a "good group" .  However, he only participated in one of Boston's 20 playoff contests - playing a mere 5.9 minutes and going scoreless. Saying he "played basketball in the playoffs" would be a stretch . Fun fact: Blake Griffin took the biggest pay cut in NBA history, making $32M in 2021-2022, to the $2M veteran’...
